GBYT 🤡

UPDATE: YouTube has reinstated all my channels only after my post went viral. It took them 5 months... Huge thanks to the X community for your support, and to everyone who stood by me during these months. I can’t thank you enough 🫶🥹 Special thanks to @OldMoneyLuxury and @DanielTChirwa. BUT... I’m not done -not while so many creators are still being terminated for no reason. Stay tuned!

@YouTubeCreators Fixing your AI moderation and reinstating thousands of wrongfully banned channels is a true character development

filming in public with a ugly holiday sweater = character development

@YouTubeInsider @busblog @YouTubeCreators @TeamYouTube Here’s a bit different context: x.com/smileysmilik/s…

@busblog @YouTubeCreators @TeamYouTube Every channel is different, but here's the context behind those numbers: x.com/TeamYouTube/st…

Encouraged to see my channel was part of those 7+ million. Encouraged because maybe @YouTubeInsider @YouTubeCreators @TeamYouTube will one day admit there was a glitch in their system and restore my channel. It’s something a professional organization worth trillions of dollars would do.

YouTube is openly lying about its AI moderation “working normally” Over the last few months, we've seen THOUSANDS of posts trending on X, claiming wrongful channel terminations. The vast majority of creators got their channels back only after their posts went VIRAL. This shows a SEVERE issues with the content moderation system.

@vidIQ Neal Mohan

What would it be?

@Dexerto Neal Moron should resign

YouTube's CEO says the platform will proceed with expanded AI moderation tools despite recent backlash Neal Mohan added that AI will enable a "new class of creators" who previously lacked the skills or equipment

AI moderation at its finest. Good job YouTube! 🤖🤡

YouTube can build a whole Recap feature which no one asked for, just to show you what you watched. But they can't show terminated/demonetized creators a single timestamp of what they violated - something creators have been begging for for a decade. They have billions for new features and tech to track everything for marketing, but $0 for transparency when a creator’s livelihood is on the line. #YouTubeAIWrongedCreators Inspired by @FinalVerdictYT ❤️

@BrodyFoxx Got my falsely terminated channels reinstated after consistently posting about it for 5 months and going viral on X.

Leave a comment if your YouTube channel(s) were unfairly suspended or had videos removed. Even if you got them back. Trying to get a better sense of how many people were affected. This will help me illustrate the severity in my upcoming meeting this week.

This is how YouTube’s AI is destroying creators

I did what 99% of creators think is impossible - I legally defeated YouTube. How does YouTube react? They're pretending it never happened. Let me tell you a story that proves the system is designed to crush creators - even when you WIN legal case and the law is on your side 👇 ➡️ June 2024: My channel "Chase Car" (20k subs) gets demonetized for "reused content." I appeal. A HUMAN reviewer checks everything - my editing timeline, voiceovers, scripts. They email me: "This is original content, you follow all the guidelines." Monetization restored. I'm relieved. A human verified me. I'm safe now. ➡️ November 2024: I wake up to find my entire channel TERMINATED. Same content. Same videos. Different result. Reason: "Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies". Wait... what? A human JUST cleared me months ago. Since I was verified by a YouTube employee, I knew my content was fine. I was creating EV news/car review videos that the YouTube Team had already accepted. Yet, the AI bot didn't care this time. I appeal → INSTANT rejection from the AI bot. Most creators give up here. But as a European Union citizen, I have the opportunity to defend myself as a creator using European Union law. I filed a formal case with ADROIT, an official European Union certified dispute body. March 2025: Case filed. July 23, 2025: Decision arrives (attached) The verdict: ✅ "Complaint is UPHELD" ✅ "YouTube's termination was NOT RIGHTFUL" ✅ "YouTube failed to specify violating content" and my channel should be reinstated. An independent legal body ruled YouTube was WRONG. The best part? YouTube defended itself during the process but could not show what I had violated. I WON. Here's where it gets terrifying - My channel is STILL terminated. I've been emailing YouTube's legal team for 4 MONTHS. Bot replies and complete silence. I never gave up; I fought fairly for my rights as a creator using the tools I had, and I won fair and square. Yet, they're acting like it never happened and the decision doesn't exist. Think about that for a moment. Even when you: ➡️ Follow every rule ➡️ Have a YouTube employee confirm that your content follows the policies ➡️ Win an official legal case ➡️ Have a documented decision that your channel should be reinstated ...YouTube's AI system just ignores you, and contacting a human is impossible. If they can do this to me AFTER I won, what chance does any creator have? I'm not giving up. I am filing a complaint with the Irish regulator @CNaM_ie to force YouTube to honor the decision. But I need your help: RT this and tag @TeamYouTube . Make them respond, so they can't pretend this isn't happening. Because if they can ignore a legal ruling, no creator is safe. #YouTubeAIWrongedCreators @YouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTubeInsider

@YouTube It’s AI moderation is mass terminating channels for no reason szn 🎁

Community notes > Corporate PR

@LittleNano6003 @WalterTheJester Sounds legit!

@SmileySmilik @WalterTheJester YouTube can display ads on videos even if the channel isn't monetized, and in such cases, all ad revenue goes to YouTube. However, once monetization is enabled, YouTube can no longer run ads for free, which is why some channels end up being deleted altogether.

YouTube uses AI system to terminate channels - the MOST of the false terminations during the years happens in Q4 (October-December) Here's the REASON... Creators revenue is SIGNIFICANTLY higher in the fourth quarter due to a major surge in advertising spending by companies during the holiday season. When a creator is terminated -they don’t receive the money they’ve already earned. YouTube might be just ROBBING creators...

@waltek192 Exactly! Forgot to mention it in the post!

@SmileySmilik dont forget the demonetizations where they profit from all the traffic

@_zilants I think it’s like layoffs- you terminate some channels to save profits, and you still have tens of millions of non-monetized creators making content for free. Just my guess, based on terminations skyrocketing in Q4

@SmileySmilik This doesn’t make sense as they would benefit from people making more videos??? Why would i ban my worker from making content?
