Fix YPP

YouTube accepting creators into the YPP means they are deemed eligible for YPP. As long as they don't radically change direction/style of their content, removing them from YPP without warning and seizing their current month's earnings is extremely unethical and should be illegal.

The argument for not telling creators what to avoid because YouTube doesn’t want them to find a workaround is like making laws secret so people won't know how to avoid breaking the law. It’s ridiculous. Isn't the goal of making laws to ensure people don't break them?

It’s as if YouTube didn’t want better content or for creators to step up their game. They deliberately lured them into a trap just for the sake of punishing them.

The Inauthentic Content policy was introduced in July 2025. YT told creators to stay calm & there'd be "no changes". 9 months later, mass demonetization happened. They could've warned targeted creators that they needed to change in 9 months, but no. They said "calm, no changes".

Dear YouTube Partner Support Team, My name is fukustar, and I've been creating original content on YouTube for the past 3 years. I'm writing to respectfully request a human review of my channel's YouTube Partner Program suspension due to "inauthentic content" policy. My channel has never violated any YouTube policy in the past. I am a VTuber, and I create 100% of the content in my channel; I record, edit, create thumbnails, and write scripts for each of my videos. I also use my persona to interact with my viewers through livestreams multiple times every week. My most avid viewers will often acquire memberships and contribute through super chats. This makes a large portion of my income, as well as covering costs to run the channel. As a VTuber I cannot show my real face, and therefore this may be picked up by your automated tools and YouTube AI as a content farm or inauthentic content. VTuber clips and shorts may often use funny sound effects, virtual scenes, and similarly visual assets created by myself. I respectfully request that a human reviews my case again. I am sure that the automated systems flagged my channel by mistake, and I am happy to provide proof for you upon request. I kindly ask that my case is escalated to a specialized team for individualized review. Thank you for your time, and I hope we can continue a productive collaboration and partnership. @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators @youtubesupport @UpdatesFromYT @YouTubeInsider

@ReallyJobless People accusing YouTube of using AI for creator support is funny to me, because Gemini and ChatGPT are way smarter than YouTube creator support agents who are barely smarter than a parrot repeating the same irrelevant thing over and over.

@ReallyJobless In the age of AI, it is entirely possible to provide every creator with personalized warnings and explanations. YouTube's current reliance on templated answers makes it seem as though they are still using dumb bots from 2010.

Hot Take🧋: Inauthentic Content isn't as random as people say it is. Even the face creators that got hit. Any channel i have seen get hit with inauthentic has been in gray area. I have yet to see a channel where it clearly is a mistake. Every single channel that got hit with inauthentic that i have seen, has been optimized to make money over audience satisfaction. Taking shortcuts in research, quality or any aspect. Please prove me wrong by sending a channel and an explanation as a reply to this tweet. Everyone who is tagging Team Youtube and telling youtube it's a mistake is just trying to help one another as it sucks when you lose earnings. I get it, it does suck. But let's not try and act as if we are here to create for creating sake, we are here to make money and we want it as fast and easy as possible. The ones who really wanna create and make the best content possible are the ones not getting hit. A totally different strategy. Even if your content used to be quality and branded, if AI caught up with it now you need to adapt and upgrade. If you think you put effort in something and then you can chill you are gonna be in for a rough ride. If i keep driving in an old car from 30 years, at some point it becomes illegal as the market moved on and upgraded. Although in online content it goes way faster than that.

#stopstealingfromcreators #fraudtube Now it honestly makes even more sense why there’s a 90-day waiting period to reapply. Creators get demonetized, and after around 50 days, they can lose the payout for the work they’ve already done—all while being told to “improve” their channel without any clear explanation. In my case, it’s already been over 42 days since my channel was demonetized, and I still haven’t been given a proper reason for what exactly is wrong. @YouTube has no right to take away hard-earned money like this without providing a real explanation. Just saying “inauthentic content” without pointing out specific videos or giving clear details doesn’t help creators fix anything—it just leaves us stuck. We’re expected to fix our content, but how is that possible when: – No specific videos are identified – No clear violation is explained – Only a vague, repeated label is used And what makes this even worse is that ads can still run on the same videos. So the content is considered “inauthentic” for creators to earn from, but still acceptable to generate revenue? That’s where it starts to feel unfair. Creators spend time, effort, and consistency building their channels, and situations like this make it feel like that effort is being ignored. We’re not asking to break rules—we’re asking for transparency, proper communication, and fair treatment. If this is happening to more creators, it needs to be talked about.

I’m the creator of the MrTie channel. It had 930,000 subscribers, and then it was banned for the same reason as Bloomation @CCountryz18217 : “spam and fraud.” But honestly, where did this reason even come from? I never posted anything with links. I never spammed anyone either. My channel was about original animations with countries my own content, my own work, my own ideas. When YouTube deleted my channel, they took away my hard-earned $7,000. That is not a small amount. It was money I earned through time, effort, and months of work. YouTube’s AI system, the one they recently launched, is working terribly. What’s notable is that after this, cases like mine started happening a lot more often. Channels are being deleted and demonetized every day, and at first glance, it really feels like nobody is properly checking what was actually on them. My friend Bloomation, who made Roblox animation videos, also had his channel removed. It has already been a month, and they still haven’t restored it. They keep saying he supposedly violated the rules, although we know this is a mistake. And the worst part? They provide no evidence. They just say, “you violated the rules.” That’s all. How are creators supposed to fight that? This feels like @TeamYouTube @Youtube complete lawlessness. We need attention. Let’s boost Bloomation’s post about his situation and hope that all of us can be pulled out of this terrible mistake.

My YouTube channel VAPORAMA VISION (170K subs) was demonetized for "mass-produced content" and my appeal was rejected, even though I create original 3D videos that take weeks and significant resources to produce. I understand the intent, @TeamYouTube, but this may be a mistake.

YouTube demonetized my channel Reason: “Inauthentic Content.” But every video takes Week - animation, editing all done by me. ONLY thing AI does is voice narration So how is it “inauthentic”? And if it is why are ads still running? @TeamYouTube Please have a real human review

I'm a 2D Animation YouTuber since 2018. For almost 8 years, my record is clean: Zero strikes. Zero violations. But suddenly I got DEMONETIZED last month. Without warning, YouTube just banned one of their longest partners and took my last month's revenue worth $3,000. They subjectively accused me of "Inauthentic Content". But... ✅ I made original illustrations in Adobe Illustrator. ❌ No stock footage. ✅ Manually edited with Adobe Animate. ❌ Not mass produced. ✅ Original scripts and research. ❌ No plagiarism. ✅ Varied topics, varied formats. ❌ Not templated. ✅ Always experimenting with new formats. ❌ Not repetitive. ✅ Upload only once or twice a month. ❌ Not spam. ✅ Distinct visual identity. ❌ Not inauthentic. However, appeal rejected with 0 views. @TeamYouTube contacted me a couple of days ago but then disappeared. No solutions. No explanations. No answers. This is not fair especially for someone who has been a YPP creator for YEARS.

A message to @YouTubeCreators @TeamYouTube @nealmohan @reneritchie and every YouTuber that suffers from "Inauthentic content". I'm a French comedian and YouTuber with over 12 years on the platform. I run 2 YouTube channels (714K and 350K subs) with more than 400 million views on long-form videos. I create comedy podcasts and gaming content, and I do everything myself: filming, editing, and appearing on camera. Overnight, both channels were demonetized. I made 2 appeal videos — zero views. Every appeal was rejected with the exact same copy-paste automated message. No human support from YouTube. After 12 years and building two big communities, this treatment is unacceptable. This broken system is destroying the lives (literally!) and careers of thousands of genuine, original creators. Please comment, share, and tag YouTube. This needs to stop. Congrats to @EternalMystYT @mansterzs @AydinPaladin and @siniviere for winning your battles. And a big thank you to @Nina7Infinity @verbalriotshow @thevivafrei @Kneon @MeganFoxWriter @hunleyeric @bear_ing @DisaffectedPod @Thatumbrellaguy @GoodLionTV for your support to our community and for helping creators. #youtube #inauthentic #AI

Bring back the BLOOMATION channel — this can’t be ignored. @TeamYouTube Over a month there have been complaints about your AI and lack of proper support. Bloomation was demonetized and then removed without a clear reason. The channel broke no rules. It needs real human review.

Several days ago, YouTube demonetized our channel @UnderSparked" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@UnderSparked for “inauthentic content.” This recent situation has created tremendous stress for us, as a channel in the age of AI hype. We are proud to be actual voice actors that offer our own unique commentary and narration to the videos we serve to our community. Our content is not automated. It is not mass-produced. It is not a slideshow with no value. We have actual voice actors, actual editors, and literally an actual person on payroll that we pay just to record gameplay. This channel supports my family and the team who help make it possible. Many of the team members apart of this channel make their livelihood through this. We submitted an appeal video showing our production process and workflow, but that got denied without being watched at all. We've reached out numerous times but unfortunately all of our attempts to reach out just keep getting denied by what we suspect is an AI or just copy and pasted templated responses. Instead of receiving a specific explanation, we've repeatedly received generic template responses saying the channel is “inauthentic” without identifying what videos, facts, or patterns caused that decision. If our channel is truly "inauthentic", how are we supposed to even know what to fix if we can't even be told specifically what the issues are? We're not asking for special treatment. We're asking for just one actual real human support/specialist to look at the channel and give it a proper review. And if an actual real human finds it to be "inauthentic". We would like to be told in specific what about the channel is violating the "inauthentic content" policy without receiving a copy and pasted template of examples of what "inauthentic content" is. All we want is for one real human at YouTube to look at the actual evidence. Public explanation video: youtube.com/watch?v=OB_5dz… Please help us, we're confident the demonetization was done through error. Many of the people apart of the UnderSparked team rely on this for their livelihoods. @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators

@Mastndur Yep. Break the ToS (violating copyrights, decency, etc.), and you get 3 strikes, 2 warnings, and 2 chances to fix it. But demonetization? They subjectively pull the plug and take your ongoing revenue instantly. No warnings. No communication.

@FixYPP At least they should have given a warning first, not just carried out mass demonetization, so that content creators could fix it

You’re eligible at the time you got accepted into the YPP. It’s never your fault that they change their interpretation of the rules. The change comes from their side, not yours. So, is it fair for you to become the one who suffers the most? To be punished for their inconsistency?

Break the ToS (violating copyrights, decency, etc.), and you get 3 strikes, 2 warnings, and 2 chances to fix it. But demonetization? They subjectively pull the plug and take your ongoing revenue instantly. No warnings. No communication.

They have every right to change the rules, but the process must be ethical and transparent, involving proper communication and a smooth transition. Not a sudden destruction of people's livelihoods.
