@TeamYouTube My channel was demonetized 5 months ago for "Dangerous or sexualized content involving minors" and after many attempts at trying to appeal the decision with no result, I decided to make a video.

WE DID IT!
After 6 months I finally got my monetization back. Thank you for all of you for the support, this would not be possible without you. Thank you for all the other creators and animators who helped spread awareness!!
@animation_dtv@TeamYouTube You need to try to get YouTube's attention in every possible way, this will solve your problem. For some reason, YouTube can't resolve the issue of erroneously disabling monetization. This has been going on for six months now.
Hi @TeamYouTube My channel, which I’ve been building for 7 years and is the center of my life, following EVERY guideline, has been demonetized for the same reason affecting hundreds of other animation channels: "Harmful content involving minors." & later changed to "Misleading family content"
My content is educational about animation industry and shows. No video even remotely contains harmful content involving minors, and all of them are marked "Not made for kids"
Reached out to @YouTube Support - the agent refused to help and ended the chat mid-conversation.
Official appeal, via YouTube panel was reviewed in under 7 hours with the same conclusion. How can 410+ videos be properly reviewed in 7 hours?

I kindly request a manual review, please. Thank you.
@krashkittycat@PizzaSlice_YT@NpcUniverse@Do1Dooum@reneritchie@sweetasyo@TeamYouTube Any advice on how to get this fixed? I woke up to the email and I truly feel it was a mistake. We post toys and family content but they claimed it as Inauthentic Content / mass produced.
( Channel: Madhouse Misfits ) It's so heartbreaking to see how hard we worked for 'nothing'
YES, WE DID IT!!!
I want to say THANK YOU to all people, who supported me durinng this time. Special Thanks to @PizzaSlice_YT@NpcUniverse@Do1Dooum@reneritchie@sweetasyo
Also,@TeamYouTube acted instantly, and situation was resolved. Thank you. Let's reach new heights together!
@PrezesSwiata@TeamYouTube This issue has been going on for six months now. YouTube's AI moderation is disabling monetization by mistake. Creators who work hard to comply with YouTube's rules, and who spend a significant amount of time and effort creating content, are forced to suffer this injustice.
I am sure that everyone should watch this video. Let's make some noise so that @TeamYouTube hears us and starts helping us, instead of staying silent. Support this post and this video, repost it, like it, let's unite and help each other! ✅

URGENT UPDATE: We won. @TeamYouTube just DM'd me confirming they reinstated my channel after seeing our posts.
They explicitly asked for the other creators I've been reposting to TAG THEM DIRECTLY right now so they can look into your cases.
@PizzaSlice_YT@heydad159137@master_pivot@sweetasyo — TAG @TeamYouTube NOW. They are watching.
Is this a joke?
Yesterday: @TeamYouTube DMs me confirming my channel is REINSTATED.
Today: Support sends me this email rejecting my other channel because "The original channel is still suspended."
The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. The channel IS fixed. Please sync your systems and clear the "Related Channel" flag. Ticket 8-2856000040580 @reneritchie
LET’S GO!!!
I want to sincerely thank @TeamYouTube for manually reviewing my channel and taking the time to carefully look into my case.
Monetization has been restored and my channel is officially back in the YouTube Partner Program.
This was a stressful journey.
Thank you to everyone who supported me and helped spread this story.
HUGE thank you to @NpcUniverse for the reposts, support, and contribution to this situation.
If you were hit by the "Harmful content involving minors" false flag, @reneritchie is the person you should tweet to.
He already acknowledged the team is looking into this, but we are still waiting for an actual update. Tag him so he can see the scale of the issue and hopefully give us a status report soon.
I'd like to thank the YouTube team for manually reviewing my channel. Monetization on my channel has been restored. You've saved my life's work and my livelihood. I'm also grateful to everyone who supported me. I do everything I can to comply with YouTube's rules. @TeamYouTube
@Yohane147@TeamYouTube Hi. I've been waiting for months, but I've sent numerous appeals through every possible form. Even manual review doesn't guarantee channel security. Monetization could be disabled again due to AI.
@Do1Dooum@TeamYouTube Hello, how long had you have to wait after sending them your concerns and with them confirming your reinstatement? Did you have to wait for hours?
@CoreVision46869 I've tried every possible form of communication on YouTube numerous times for months without any results. I was only recently noticed, but I don't think my channel is safe. This is the only recommendation I can give.
