YouTube just THREATENED to block us from support for 30 days!
Our crime: asking which of our current videos breaks their rules.
They only ever named 3 videos from YEARS ago. NOTHING we make today.
1.4M subscribers. Dozens of families lost their income.
Which video, @TeamYouTube?
YouTube sat on my appeal for 75 days.
Then I had a legal letter delivered to Google’s office in Dublin, and they answered within a week.
Their answer: my channel takes “someone else’s content” and makes “minimal changes.”
The video I showed them was written by us, presented on camera by our own host and edited by our team. No third party clips used. They couldn’t point to one video that breaks their rules.
1M+ subscribers, 8 months without monetization, and this is the review we get.
Imagine what would happen to smaller channels...
@TeamYouTube @YouTubeLiaison @nealmohan @YouTubeCreators @DigitalEU please fix this.

YouTube rejected my 1.4M-sub channel over 3 videos from years before we even re-applied.
We rebuilt the entire channel before applying again, exactly like YouTube tells you to.
Our own scripts. Our own host. Our own editors.
The videos we actually made since were never even mentioned.
Their own rules say they judge your channel's "current state."
Their final answer: "There's nothing more that we can do."
Dozens of people lost their income over this.

EU law says a platform must give a business a clear, specific reason when it cuts its income. We filed complaints with the regulators, every chat transcript attached.
Creators: has YouTube done this to you? Reply with your story. They can ignore one of us. Not all of us.
The timeline:
March: income cut.
June: we rebuilt the channel and re-applied.
27 August: we appealed the rejection.
10 November: an answer, after 75 days, only thanks to legal letters & public posts we made.
No video made after the rebuild was ever named. Dozens of families lost their income while we waited.
YouTube has now given 4 different reasons for one decision:
1. "Reused content"
2. Our appeal video lacked "value-add editing"
3. Three videos from years ago, before we rebuilt the channel
4. They judge "the channel as a whole" and can't name a video
Which is it?

Odd how having sex with mistresses can bring down a CEO. But raping children doesn't bring down a president. 🤔

Não entendo os EUA. Ter uma amante derruba um CEO. Mas pedofilia não derruba o presidente?

YouTube has truly lost its mind.
So many innocent, amazing creators getting terminated in recent times.
@TeamYouTube @nealmohan @YouTubeLiaison get your shit together!
A channel that exposes financial scams has been nuked by @TeamYouTube for promoting financial scams. I received no warning, and my channel has been removed without any specific explanation of what supposedly violated the policy. I urgently need this escalated for a HUMAN review
See my previous post for more context:

How we got here:
75 days of silence on my appeal.
Then a legal letter reached Google's office in Dublin.
They decided within a week.
Rejected, with no video named.
Then my post about it went viral.
The next day, they suddenly named 3 videos.
Every step only happened under pressure.
Update: YouTube answered. This is what they said.
