After 16 years, my @YouTube channel (GrimmGreen) was terminated today with no real explanation. I’ve built my content around harm reduction, helping adult smokers quit, and advocating for science-based policies. This feels like a huge mistake. If you believe in THR, free speech, and the mission we’ve been on, please help me get YouTube’s attention. @TeamYouTube I’m asking for a real human to review my case. I’ve never promoted anything illegal. I’ve never targeted youth. I’ve worked tirelessly to be a responsible voice in the vaping and harm reduction space. But like many creators in this space, it seems I’ve been swept up in an overly aggressive moderation wave.

“This is the team’s response regarding the decision to remove the video, but the decision is incorrect. The content was not about selling the product through YouTube, and the reason given for the removal was ‘selling the product through the video.’ @TeamYouTube

@TeamYouTube This decision is extremely annoying and completely illogical. An appeal was submitted against the decision, but the response was “rejected,” and the people responsible for private messages are ignoring any replies.

@TeamYouTube can you please see DM

@TeamYouTube “The YouTube algorithm errors are still frustrating content creators, despite carefully adhering to all monetization policies. Please have the content reviewed manually by a human. The rejection decision is completely unconvincing

@TeamYouTube I contact you several time on DM but no answer ??!!

HI, I'm an independent YouTuber / Streamer / Activist. @Patreon recently deactivated my account and along with it, my main source of income. So i've been forced to take things into my own hands. These platforms can not be trusted. The "Cool Kids Club" associated with my former Patreon has not gone anywhere. We are alive and well and open for business. grimmgreen.com/coolkids/

Good greeting, Please verify the completely illogical decision to remove this specific video ( c.gle/APy2Ad12cIfsZ0…), and I demand a precise human review because this problem keeps repeating constantly with YouTube’s utterly inaccurate algorithm. @TeamYouTube

@TeamYouTube YouTube again the destroy our content by removing the videos without any reasons

The decision is unfair, final, and oppressive to content creators. Please reconsider the decision, noting that an appeal has been submitted and the issue has not been resolved. @TeamYouTube c.gle/ANiao5qcWlkt2c…

This is psychologically exhausting, and this decision is completely unfair. At the beginning of every video, a warning is placed about the use of nicotine, yet your decision claims that I am selling products containing nicotine. What is this contradiction? @TeamYouTube

@hdvapekw The best way to resolve this is to appeal, which sends your video directly to our policy team & they'll follow up with you over email. You can appeal directly in Studio: goo.gle/4gqfk4Y You can also view your appeal confirmation & anticipated review time in Studio

@TeamYouTube YouTube algorithm it's again removed video from my channel again I swear to God i am not selling nicotine products please solve this problem i don't want to remove my channel again I need human review on this video c.gle/ANiao5qcWlkt2c…

@hdvapekw @TeamYouTube This is insane and @TeamYouTube should clarify and reconsider this. Shameful behavior

@TeamYouTube After ten years, YouTube unfairly removed my channel, and the support team was not clear about the violation points. My channel provides content to help smokers quit, and I was adhering to all YouTube guidelines. This decision is unfair.

@TeamYouTube They already rejected 100% i am sure i didn't violate on this video

@hdvapekw If you've already submitted an appeal, it's best to wait for a reply from our team. They'll share more information once they've completed their review

@TeamYouTube Please help me i got 2nd strike on my channel really i worked hard more than 5 years on my channel i don't want to lose it to day they removed one video than i got strike on this vid youtu.be/GZd8_uZkbEI

@TeamYouTube Please help me I don't want to lose me channel i didn't mention on the video any please to buy the products or website

@hdvapekw Mind sharing your video URLs so we can take a closer look?

@TeamYouTube your algorithm is at it again! Striking videos for breaching guidelines when there’s no links to regulated goods, no websites, no mention of where to purchase anything, and does not promote the purchase of any regulated goods. Please help fix this!

@TeamYouTube youtu.be/GZd8_uZkbEI Please help me this is second strike
