Creepypasta narrator, artist and horror lover. Visit Mr. Grinless on YouTube if you dare! youtube.com/channel/UCxfBrEA…
Mr. Grinless retweeted
My channel was recently demonetized from the YouTube Partner Program for "Reused Content," and I genuinely believe this was a mistake.
YouTube is my main source of income. I don't have sponsors, sell merch, or have any other forms of income aside from my yt channel. I've dedicated years of hard work to creating content, and everything seemed to be going fine while I was approaching 10 million subs
I've always made an effort to create unique, entertaining videos through my own commentary, reactions, and editing. I take YouTube's policies seriously and genuinely believe my content adds original value. and changes the viewing experience for anyone watching my video vs the original creators.
I've already contacted YouTube Support twice to escalate this issue and request a human review, but both requests were rejected. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity for someone to personally review my channel and understand why I believe this decision was made in error.
Losing monetization so unexpectedly has been devastating, especially since YouTube is my career and livelihood. Im here respectfully to ask for a HUMAN REVIEW of my channel and reconsideration of this decision.
Thank you for your time.

Our channel SSG Animations has been demonetized under the “Misleading Family Content” policy. We respectfully believe our content has been misunderstood.
Our channel focuses on animated horror and fictional storytelling for a general audience and is not intended to target children. Our videos are manually written, storyboarded, animated, voiced, and edited by our team.
We respectfully request a human/manual review of our channel and appeal video. Our team of writers, animators, and editors depends on this work for their livelihood.
Appeal Video: youtube.com/watch?v=pvI-kibp…
We would greatly appreciate a fair review of our channel and content.

@YouTubeCreators @TeamYouTube my channel youtube.com/@thrillerteller is demonetized and I am repeatedly getting automated responses from YouTube. I got no help while other big horror animation channels have their monetization back. Are you not going to help small creators?
Mr. Grinless retweeted
Yeah I got demonetized. Watch this video.
Father Darkness @DarkPrevails Needs our help, Family.

@TeamYouTube The automated demonetizations for "Inauthentic Content" are completely crushing our businesses and our Lives. These are real, human voiced channels. This algorithmic error doesn't just hurt the narrator; it has a devastating financial effect on our authors and everyone down the production chain who relies on this income (looking at you @vidIQ ,@TubeBuddy).
We have compiled a list of unique authorial affected creators, creating content that millions of people enjoy. Afterall, storytelling is the worlds oldest form of entertainment.
Every single channel here features 100% human voiced storytelling, unique scripts and hundreds of thousands of hours of original production. The current systems sweeps are misidentifying branding as automation.
It is not fair to us, our teams and last but most importantly our subscribers and fans that an algorithm can instantly silence the voices they rely on. Our Hardcore Fans listen to us every single night to destress, escape and connect with real human storytellers. They deserve better than a platform that locks out authentic creators over a glitch. Let's put the YOU back in YOUTUBE.
The Demonetized and Silenced:
Here are OUR VOICES. Please reconsider us for monetization

Support it. Another #demonetized horror creator that’s not been able to get reinstated. Meanwhile, plenty of Ai ones still up and running on #YouTube.
@teamyoutube Day 41 since YPP suspension and I’m still trying to get past automated messages and rejectionsl. My content is not mass produced as each story I tell is originally scripted by me, narrated by me on a microphone, and edited by me manually. YT: Hong Kong Horror

@TeamYouTube I was recently demonetized and believe my channel was flagged incorrectly. I reviewed my content and made multiple changes to address possible concerns. I’d really appreciate a fair manual review of my channel. Thank you. youtube.com/@mrsspookasmr?si…
