DEMONETIZED FOR 16 DAYS — MY YOUTUBE STORY @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTube, (please watch the attached video) My channel "Cursedalot" was demonetized on April 27 for “inauthentic content,” For over two weeks now, I've been trying to get a real human review and have only been met with automated rejections and generic responses. I’ve spent nearly 2 years building this channel to over 424,000 subscribers by making long-form internet documentaries that I research, script, voice, and edit myself. No AI voice. No AI scripts. No AI visuals. No automation. YouTube’s policy says “inauthentic content” is mass-produced, repetitive, low-effort, or template-based content. That does not describe my channel. 👉 Every video covers a different creator, situation, story, or internet topic. 👉 Every video is researched, written, voiced, and edited by me from scratch. 👉 My videos have narrative structure, pacing, jokes, visuals, editing, and original commentary throughout. 👉 My thumbnails may have a recognizable style, but that is branding, not mass production. The actual substance of each video is different. I submitted a full appeal video showing my process: my scripts, research, source gathering, Premiere Pro timeline, After Effects work, and how my videos are manually made. That appeal was rejected within 12 hours. @TeamYouTube has told me to continue through Creator Support/email, but that route is not solving anything. The responses I received only repeated the same general policy wording, and my case has since been closed with no clear explanation of what specifically violated the policy. So I’m asking here because I genuinely believe something was missed. I’m asking YouTube to have a real person conduct another manual review of my channel and the attached appeal video to make sure nothing was missed. If my channel truly violates this policy, I would like a clear explanation of what specifically needs to be fixed. But if my channel does not violate this policy, I’m asking for it to be reinstated into the YouTube Partner Program.






Spoke to a student today who was embarrassed to admit things had gone badly. He didn't want to ask for help because of how well he'd done before. Went from multi 5 fig months to practically 0. It's not the first time I've seen this. But something I've noticed in every field I've been involved in... The guys at the top never stop learning. They never let ego get in the way. They'll pay for mentorships when they're already successful. They'll ask advice from people they could technically teach. They stay coachable. Don't be the guy who has one good month and now thinks seeking advice makes him look weak. Business goes up and down. YouTube goes up and down. But the best never stop being students.
