It's been two weeks since YouTube has demonetized my 2D animation channel, DoggyZuko, on YT. I'm reaching out to @TeamYouTube once more as I think this is still an honest misunderstanding. To those curious, I've attached my video appeal here. Let me know if you think this is still considered mass-produced or fits the criteria for an "Inauthentic Content" violation.

@hnsyjj CMS

If your channel is demonetized or you want to connect it to the best CMS on YouTube, comment ‘CMS’ and DM me Benefits: Instant monetization (if you’re demonetized, you’ll be re-monetized) Protection from demonetization and claims Highest trust score possible Videos get pushed quickly I’m selecting only a limited number of people

I’ve still been hit and was denied twice in my appeal. Content that, I must admit, is generated with AI PNG files but then hand animated by me to create, authentic, video content on the world of animals and their behaviours. I hope someone as close to YouTube as you has a chance to look at it.

We checked in with YouTube about the demonetization issues impacting the Gen AI creator community. They are continuing efforts to reduce repetitive, spammy content so more original, story-driven work can rise. The system isn’t perfect, so if you were flagged incorrectly, appeal. That feedback helps improve things over time. There’s a wave of bold, original work coming from AI creators right now, and we will continue to advocate for you.

@eieproductions @YouTubeCreators My 2D animation channel was demonetized, a process that took 5 10 hour days to produce :/

If your channel has been demonetized via "inauthentic content", please like & reply to this tweet. 👍🏻 I'm trying to see how many people this affects. I have a feeling if @YouTubeCreators sees the giant blunder this is causing, they'll roll it back in a few months.

Funny how YouTube can suddenly solve false demonetization issues in 48 hours when the right partner contacts them The problem is that regular creators don’t get the same attention: auto-rejected appeals, copy-paste support replies, and no human review Proper support shouldn’t be reserved for CMS partners and insiders

@BENBROS Hi! Not to be like everyone else, but I run doggyzuko and would love to chat about your success. Congrats on the remonetization!

Today, my monetization has been restored. Thanks to all of your comments and support, and with the help of a YouTube team member, I was able to receive a manual review. However, many animation channels are still being affected by incorrect automated decisions. And if these mistakes continue, this could happen again at any time. @TeamYouTube @YouTube Please, I sincerely ask you—review these unfairly affected channels through manual review and restore their monetization. Thank you.

@AvriShorts Sorry to hear this happened to you, guessing this is your channel?

saw this one coming after seeing @jackazoo get demonetized lol is it even worth trying to appeal?

@brrbrrpatajim @VSNHRY @TeamYouTube Hey Jim, sent you a DM about the same issue.

@VSNHRY @TeamYouTube Hey bro can you open a DM? I managed to solve this type of demonetization

Hi @TeamYouTube Yesterday, my channel Polemod had its monetization removed for "inauthentic, mass-produced, or repetitive content." This is really confusing to me because every video we make is hand-built in Unreal Engine and takes 2 to 4 days to finish.

UPDATE: @TeamYouTube has denied my appeal for the channel, DoggyZuko, in the same way hundreds of other creators were denied... with an automated message. I am extremely convinced that a human employee from YouTube hasn't checked through my appeal, as I have even made a 12-minute YouTube video in my Studio that has yet to be seen (despite being linked in my appeal). Each video takes 3-5 days to make from scratch, from the script-writing to the animation process. I am ironically getting denied monetization with an automated message that was sent to hundreds of creators trying to appeal. If anyone outside of YouTube has any solutions, please reach out to me via DMs. I'll keep updating this daily. @YouTube @YouTubeCreators

@jackazoo Blatantly wrong decision here by @TeamYouTube. Hoping your appeal works and they sort this out for you

YouTube has demonetized my 2D animation channel, DoggyZuko, for inauthentic content. I believe this was an honest mistake by the team, as I have sent a video appeal detailing the extensive process it takes to make these animations. Yes, I use AI as a tool, for image generations (backgrounds, characters, etc.), as well as my voiceover for these videos. But my intentions are never to mass-produce my content and provide little to no value to my audience. Everything from the ideas, to the scripts, to the editing process, are all intended to provide a unique perspective on the world of animals and their behaviors. I believe this is a mistake, and hope YouTube recognizes the unfortunate situation. Please don't hesitate to reach out via DMs. @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTube

@TeamYouTube what is going on guys? It takes days to create this kind of content with a full team of our 2D animators... Not even a single line of script on this channel is written with AI, There's nothing inauthentic about it, if something it's the most authentic 2D channel out there... Please get us the human review back

@FGshorts @TeamYouTube W! Much love brotha 🫂

This is criminal, This is HIGH quality 2d animation Theres nothing inauthentic about these shorts Each taking days to make and edit Whats wrong with @TeamYouTube Kindly like comment and repost this Im tired of seeing hard working creators getting screwed like this

@TeamYouTube "If it’s your first rejection, you can re-apply to the YouTube Partner Program 30 days after you get your rejection email." The fact that you don't even read your FAQ makes me think this is an automated chat. In the nicest way possible, do better.

@jackazoo Unfortunately we aren't able to help you with another appeal for this decision. We'd encourage you to reapply to YPP after waiting 90 days from the date of your suspension. In the meantime, here's what you can do: goo.gle/4v6Fr7N
