Hello, my name is Sippy and I’m the owner of the YouTube channel SippyRBX, with over 180,000 subscribers.
On September 14th, the day my channel was going to get monetized, my channel was randomly terminated with no prior warnings or strikes.
My appeal was also denied very quickly. I’ve contacted Creator Support multiple times, but the response has been vague everytime and didnt explain anything. Recently, YouTube themselves admitted that their AI systems have been "falsely flagging" creators for spam and deceptive policies.
I strongly believe my channel was also falsely flagged. My content focused fully on original Roblox Shorts, made with effort and creativity and each video took minimum 1 hour and 30 minutes. I have never engaged in spam, scams, or deceptive content of any kind. I've never put any suspicious links in my description and also I've never done "Sub4Sub".
I respectfully request a manual review of my channel. I’ve spent hundreds of hours building my community and making every video entertaining. Losing it all without a clear reason is one of the worst things. Please help me by retweeting, liking and most importantly tagging: @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators 📷#YouTube #YouTubeSupport #Roblox
(1/5) @TeamYouTube My channel was terminated on September 14, 2025 for spam, and I believe it was flagged in error. Every video was original: I recorded my own Roblox "Steal a Brainrot" gameplay using my own avatar, and I did my own research and came up with my own video ideas.
(4/5) strikes or warnings. It was previously flagged for demonetization, and after I explained my process with a video appeal, a reviewer reinstated monetization for my channel, which shows that the content had already passed a manual review. I'd appreciate a human reviewer
(3/5) I only ever asked viewers to like, comment, or subscribe, which YouTube's policy explicitly allows. I never offered rewards, prizes, or incentives for engagement, and never took part in sub-for-sub or engagement tactics. The channel had zero prior Community Guidelines
(2/5) This process took anywhere from 30 mins to 1 hour every day. I never scraped, reused, or reposted other creators' content, and I changed up my format and content over time instead of mass producing videos that "look the same." If this was flagged as engagement manipulation:

This is YouTube's response to my demonetization appeal.
They claim my content is "template-based" and "mass produced."
But let me explain exactly how I make my videos. I record gameplay directly in-game. I find every piece of new content myself. I write a full script for each video. I edit everything individually.
Every. Single. Video.
There is no template. There is no automation. There is no copy-paste. Just hours of work put into each upload.
I find it extremely unfair that YouTube made this decision without properly reviewing what my content actually is. @TeamYouTube @YouTube
More than a week ago, my channel was demonetized for "inauthentic content."
My channel is dedicated exclusively to Roblox content, news, updates, ideas, and opinions. Every single video is fully scripted, re-recorded, and individually edited.
I have not received any response from YouTube, so I need your support.

Let me get this right, so you can terminate a channel of 9 years ABRUPTLY and not give me the SPECIFICS or tell me what I did wrong to lose my YouTube channel. 220K gone just like that. Won’t even respond to my tickets anymore. You treat your creators like absolute garbage. @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @nealmohan

I need your help ASAP! ⚠️ @TeamYouTube
This channel was suspended 7 months ago. It was not my channel, it was my little brother’s, and 3 days later my main channel ended up getting banned because of it. I spent months contacting YouTube through forms, live chat, and X trying to understand why.
My little brothers: youtube.com/channel/UCVDb-Q2…
Today I finally found out. My channel was falsely flagged for circumvention just because it shared the same address.
My channel URL: m.youtube.com/channel/UCjPdY…
Please look into this. The channels were not connected and this mistake cost me 100,000 subscribers and my entire income. It meant a lot to me.

@TeamYouTube It's been over 80 days now since my 180,000 + subscriber channel has been terminated. Even after getting a DM from you and providing context like you asked, I just got the same copy & pasted response that you reply to everyone with. I never even got a complete answer.
Was my message even read? I explained everything in detail, including why my channel was falsely terminated.
All I'm asking is that you actually read my DM and see my explanation and hopefully realize that this is a mistake.

Wow... I lost 1,000,000 subscribers.
And all my childhood videos.
AI moderation is out of control @YouTube
Their AI bot claims I violated "dangerous content policy" by claiming "guaranteed returns" or promoting a pyramid scheme.
I've never done any of that and can prove endlessly.
All I did was document trying and testing online businesses since 13 years old.
- I have never promoted scams.
- I have never put my community at danger.
- I have never violated terms intentionally, and when AI flagged my content, I corrected immediately.
If sharing business experience and lessons was so 'dangerous', then why did over 1,000,000 subscribe?
Why did over 400K people return every month to watch AGAIN?
I was getting thousands of messages a week from people who found my free content useful.
Knowing I've done nothing wrong, I just thought I'll appeal, they'll see AI made a mistake, and my life's work will be given back to me.
I appealed multiple times, and every time I did, I just got a generic response that they won't return my channel.
We had 14 full time employees who depended on this channel to feed their families.
So YouTube's AI response not only affects me, but affects our team, and millions of people whose lives were positively impacted by this channel.
I have been in this space since 2011, and it's heartbreaking to witness AI police bully the whole @YouTubeCreators community.
Over a decade of sweat and tears gone in an instant.
And I am not the only one that got unfairly removed.
Incompetence of AI moderation has financially and emotionally damaged millions of creators.
I'm not making this post to beg for sympathy, but as a warning to all creators.
If AI can do this to me with over a decade of content and a community of 1,000,000+ people...
Then no one is safe anymore.
So what can you do?
1) Own your audience.
Use YouTube to get discovered, and funnel that audience to a community, group, or email list outside.
2) Retweet this.
If we spread awareness far enough, more people will learn about AI police brutality on YouTube.
3) If you’ve had a similar experience, reply. I’m collecting stories.
4) Keep serving your community.
Got wrongfully removed? Okay, it's not fair, but you have to keep going.
Your audience went to you for a reason. They trust you and you should never let them down.
So find strength to rebuild from scratch.
It might take a year, 5 or even 10, but time will pass anyways.
And you only lose if you stop playing.
Lots of love,
- Dave🫶🏻
Hey @TeamYouTube It's been over 24 hours since I got a dm from you guys and I was wondering if theres any updates yet? I'm not sure if it usually takes this long so I just wanted to make sure that you're still checking.

Hello, my name is Raunaq and I’m the owner of the YouTube channel "TheRankingMamba", which had over 100,000 subscribers.
On May 20, 2025 my channel was randomly terminated beacuse it was "possibly hacked". Right when I was about to get my play button.
My appeal was also denied very quickly. I’ve contacted Creator Support multiple times, but the response was vague everytime and I didn't get any explanation or help at all. This is completely unfair.
I strongly believe my channel was falsely terminated. My content focused fully on original entertaining ranking shorts, made with effort and creativity and each video took minimum 1 hour and 30 minutes. I have never engaged in spam, scams, or deceptive content of any kind. I have never violated any community guideline and had 0 strikes.
I've never put any suspicious links in my description and also I've never done "Sub4Sub".
I respectfully request a manual review of my channel. I’ve spent hundreds of hours building my community and making every video entertaining.

Hello @TeamYouTube, I am the owner of the channel FearnBlox, that was wrongfully terminated for: "spam and deceptive practices". I appealed the decision but it was also wrongfully rejected without any explanation.
I paid for Google One in order to get direct chat human support. I was told multiple times that I would get an email within 24 hours from a @YouTube representative able to review my case, but after 5 days there is still no response. I even had multiple case numbers opened.
My content is original and fully complies with YouTube’s policies. I do not engage in spam, scams or deceptive practices. I follow the same standards and formats as thousands of active channels in the Roblox Shorts community.
I respectfully request a manual review of my channel and a reconsideration of this termination as I believe this action was taken in error. Thank you.
