Sippy

Hello, my name is Sippy and I’m the owner of the YouTube channel SippyRBX, with over 180,000 subscribers. On September 14th, the day my channel was going to get monetized, my channel was randomly terminated with no prior warnings or strikes. My appeal was also denied very quickly. I’ve contacted Creator Support multiple times, but the response has been vague everytime and didnt explain anything. Recently, YouTube themselves admitted that their AI systems have been "falsely flagging" creators for spam and deceptive policies. I strongly believe my channel was also falsely flagged. My content focused fully on original Roblox Shorts, made with effort and creativity and each video took minimum 1 hour and 30 minutes. I have never engaged in spam, scams, or deceptive content of any kind. I've never put any suspicious links in my description and also I've never done "Sub4Sub". I respectfully request a manual review of my channel. I’ve spent hundreds of hours building my community and making every video entertaining. Losing it all without a clear reason is one of the worst things. Please help me by retweeting, liking and most importantly tagging: @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators 📷#YouTube #YouTubeSupport #Roblox

@bugyhuggy how did you get it back

YouTube was refusing to restore my channel only because there was $70,000 in my account. This is the highest revenue I’ve ever made in my life. Before this, I had no violations nothing at all and my content is crystal clear. Let me know in the comments below: how much of your money is YouTube currently holding, and under which violation policy? With my Channel."Reused content"

This is YouTube's response to my demonetization appeal. They claim my content is "template-based" and "mass produced." But let me explain exactly how I make my videos. I record gameplay directly in-game. I find every piece of new content myself. I write a full script for each video. I edit everything individually. Every. Single. Video. There is no template. There is no automation. There is no copy-paste. Just hours of work put into each upload. I find it extremely unfair that YouTube made this decision without properly reviewing what my content actually is. @TeamYouTube @YouTube

More than a week ago, my channel was demonetized for "inauthentic content." My channel is dedicated exclusively to Roblox content, news, updates, ideas, and opinions. Every single video is fully scripted, re-recorded, and individually edited. I have not received any response from YouTube, so I need your support. @YouTube @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTubeGaming

Let me get this right, so you can terminate a channel of 9 years ABRUPTLY and not give me the SPECIFICS or tell me what I did wrong to lose my YouTube channel. 220K gone just like that. Won’t even respond to my tickets anymore. You treat your creators like absolute garbage. @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @nealmohan

@TeamYouTube After receiving a message from you asking to provide context so you could look into my termination better, I provided context and explained everything and the response I got was AI and didn’t even respond to my explanation. It’s been over 90 days

I need your help ASAP! ⚠️ @TeamYouTube This channel was suspended 7 months ago. It was not my channel, it was my little brother’s, and 3 days later my main channel ended up getting banned because of it. I spent months contacting YouTube through forms, live chat, and X trying to understand why. My little brothers: youtube.com/channel/UCVDb-… Today I finally found out. My channel was falsely flagged for circumvention just because it shared the same address. My channel URL: m.youtube.com/channel/UCjPdY… Please look into this. The channels were not connected and this mistake cost me 100,000 subscribers and my entire income. It meant a lot to me.

@TeamYouTube It's been over 80 days now since my 180,000 + subscriber channel has been terminated. Even after getting a DM from you and providing context like you asked, I just got the same copy & pasted response that you reply to everyone with. I never even got a complete answer. Was my message even read? I explained everything in detail, including why my channel was falsely terminated. All I'm asking is that you actually read my DM and see my explanation and hopefully realize that this is a mistake.

Wow... I lost 1,000,000 subscribers. And all my childhood videos. AI moderation is out of control @YouTube Their AI bot claims I violated "dangerous content policy" by claiming "guaranteed returns" or promoting a pyramid scheme. I've never done any of that and can prove endlessly. All I did was document trying and testing online businesses since 13 years old. - I have never promoted scams. - I have never put my community at danger. - I have never violated terms intentionally, and when AI flagged my content, I corrected immediately. If sharing business experience and lessons was so 'dangerous', then why did over 1,000,000 subscribe? Why did over 400K people return every month to watch AGAIN? I was getting thousands of messages a week from people who found my free content useful. Knowing I've done nothing wrong, I just thought I'll appeal, they'll see AI made a mistake, and my life's work will be given back to me. I appealed multiple times, and every time I did, I just got a generic response that they won't return my channel. We had 14 full time employees who depended on this channel to feed their families. So YouTube's AI response not only affects me, but affects our team, and millions of people whose lives were positively impacted by this channel. I have been in this space since 2011, and it's heartbreaking to witness AI police bully the whole @YouTubeCreators community. Over a decade of sweat and tears gone in an instant. And I am not the only one that got unfairly removed. Incompetence of AI moderation has financially and emotionally damaged millions of creators. I'm not making this post to beg for sympathy, but as a warning to all creators. If AI can do this to me with over a decade of content and a community of 1,000,000+ people... Then no one is safe anymore. So what can you do? 1) Own your audience. Use YouTube to get discovered, and funnel that audience to a community, group, or email list outside. 2) Retweet this. If we spread awareness far enough, more people will learn about AI police brutality on YouTube. 3) If you’ve had a similar experience, reply. I’m collecting stories. 4) Keep serving your community. Got wrongfully removed? Okay, it's not fair, but you have to keep going. Your audience went to you for a reason. They trust you and you should never let them down. So find strength to rebuild from scratch. It might take a year, 5 or even 10, but time will pass anyways. And you only lose if you stop playing. Lots of love, - Dave🫶🏻

@TeamYouTube You gave me the same response that you give everyone else in their tweets even though I explained my reasons and gave more context. Did you guys even read my message and explanation or did you just make me wait 4 days to get another AI response?

@JrSippy_ We replied to your DM

@TeamYouTube Still haven’t heard back @TeamYouTube

@JrSippy_ Sorry for that! We've sent you a DM w/ the next steps

@TeamYouTube @calaxanasNEWS @TeamYouTube I haven’t gotten a response to your dm in 4 days. Can I please get an update it seems like you guys forgot about it. I have tried reaching out multiple times aswell.

@calaxanasNEWS Hey, thanks for your patience and luckily we have some good news for you, your video has been reinstated. Your video should be back up & the strike should be removed from your channel

@TeamYouTube I onced covered this which is technically news and due to my Hispanic dialect someone flagged it for promoting drugs and violence here’s the link. They really need to work on NEWS videos getting flagged cause the reviewer ain’t Dominican m.youtube.com/watch?v=CGPKRc…

@TeamYouTube It’s been 3 days since I got a DM from you guys and I still haven’t heard back. I’m not sure if you forgot or if it actually takes this long but please help me out.

Hey @TeamYouTube It's been over 24 hours since I got a dm from you guys and I was wondering if theres any updates yet? I'm not sure if it usually takes this long so I just wanted to make sure that you're still checking.

@TeamYouTube How can I have the channel owner reach out to you? Also what about my channel in the original tweet? You guys haven’t replied to that yet.

@JrSippy_ For privacy and security reasons, it's best to have the channel owner reach out to us so we can help if their channel was hacked or compromised

@TeamYouTube Yes it was, but just to clarify, It wasn’t the channel in my original tweet it was my brothers channel, But yes it was compromised. I would appreciate if you could DM me so it’s a lot easier to communicate and I can give you all the info of the compromised channel.

@JrSippy_ Mind confirming if the channel you're reaching out to us about was compromised?

@TeamYouTube hey you guys replied to me about my brothers hacked channel but I haven’t received a reply since. It’s approaching the 9 month mark so I would appreciate if you could take a look and DM me so i can share the info you need there because it’s hard to get a hold of you guys here.

We saw a lot of questions this week about content moderation and appeals processes / decisions. With the help of our Trust and Safety teammates, we’re sharing answers here → support.google.com/youtube/thread…

@TeamYouTube No this is not the one. The hacked one i was talking about was referring to was my brothers channel but Im the one who wrote the message

@JrSippy_ Hi there, totally hear you on this. Can you confirm if the channel in your screenshot is the one you're referring to that was compromised?
