Day 18 of demonisation - absolutely convinced the algorithm couldn’t detect a rise in genuine views from collaborations and flagged it as invalid traffic. I had zero warnings or banners. They waited until just after midnight on august 31st and kicked me off the programme I guess to start a clean slate on the calculations. Hoping the reversal is imminent as it feels illegal to take someone’s livelihood away overnight after 11 years creating with no channel strikes. @YouTubeLiaison @TeamYouTube please help the people affected. Even if it’s not a bug there is something definitely amiss here.

@Seagate I’m extremely frustrated with my RMA process. Sent back a brand new defective hard drive over 6 weeks ago with proof of delivery, but still no resolution. This delay is causing significant business delays for me.

@RoyalMail every collection booked in 2025 hasn’t been collected so far but I get an email saying there wasn’t anyone in, while I’m sat near the door with the ring doorbell. The drivers are delivering and I’ve seen them picking up nearby but not here? What can I do?

@WaterPlusUK your customer services advisors on email have been trying to setup a direct debit for me for 5 months, they today again asked for me a complete a direct debit form and I’ve sent one 3 times. Do you use robots or automation? Because it’s failing.

@O2 @LutzSchueler if an old number is still available is it possible to get it back with a new account? I’m locked out of an Instagram account that it’s assigned to 😫

The @qatarairways check in system at @ManchesterairA is diabolical. You que for an hour for check in via the machine to then que again for the staff to check the same thing at bag drop. Whoever came up with this needs firing 😂

@AmexUK what a scam changing the companion voucher amount mid term. A waste of a few months spending on your card 😂

@Daniel_Batal @PhilStarkovich @CreativeFuelAI Thank you 🙏🏼

@nomadbarber @PhilStarkovich @CreativeFuelAI You can go to the watch page of any video and find the CF action logo right there. That’ll allow you to use that video as a jumping off point, add the channel itself as inspiration (if it isn’t yours) or pull inspiration from the comments people have left on that video.

"My Content Isn't Reaching the RIGHT Kind of Viewers" I've heard this so many times from Creators I work with when building a content strategy. One of the things I really like about @CreativeFuelAI is that it makes it incredibly easy to change the Channel & Audience training data. Creative Fuel will generate great video ideas that target who you want to reach, not just who your YouTube channel might already be reaching. ...and does it all right inside of #YouTube Studio ❤️ If you haven't signed up for a 'no credit card required' FREE trial, you should --> creativefuel.ai @PhilStarkovich #CreativeFuel

@PhilStarkovich @Daniel_Batal @CreativeFuelAI Took the punt and signed up for a year! Will the inspiration video idea section extend past 90 days at any point or will we be able to paste links to older videos? Or maybe I missed it 😂

@Daniel_Batal @nomadbarber @CreativeFuelAI 👋

@Daniel_Batal @CreativeFuelAI Thank you - will check it out. Planning a lot at the moment 🙏🏼

Definitely! It gives you not only the ability to define an audience, but also grab other channels and ‘scrape’ the ones that might be similar to what you’re thinking about doing yourself. You can apply what Creative Fuel learns about what’s worked for them into your own database. You could even scrape completely unrelated channels that just have a really strong content strategy and tell CF to apply that strategy to your own conversation 👊😎☮️

I don’t have much to offer other than what has been discussed already. I kept on appealing even though it was being rejected and kept messaging my partner manager (politely) I was completely demonetised so I’m not sure if this had something to do with me getting it back but my earnings are half of what they were now. I’m just going with the flow.

@Daniel_Batal @TeamYouTube @YouTubeLiaison @AdSense @nomadbarber I watch your whole video you shared. And I deeply analyzed my analytics every traffic source. I didn’t find any abnormality in graph. There is no spike in CTR or views. AVD is also normal. I have been checking everything since last 3 days.

@TeamYouTube @YouTubeLiaison @AdSense This is extremely disappointing. You can see how unreliable is Adsense. The bug in their AI can destroy your entire career. And the most frustrating thing is there is not even dedicated support to ask for real human review. (1/4)

The reason dogs run when they're out in open space is simple. They know they can, so they do. We often take for granted a lot of the opportunities right in front of us in our daily lives. Opportunities we often let pass us by. Grab opportunities and make the most of them while you can. Don't forget to run. ☮️

So I’ve never had an invalid traffic notification even when my channel was taken off the partner programme entirely. December was my record month and then it halved. Down to similar revenue I had last January with similar views but nowhere close to the amount I’ve been getting since June onwards.

@brennan_valeski @nomadbarber Ad rates typically drop in January after the December holiday campaigns end. If you look at previous years do you see anything similar?

#invalidtraffic update after getting it back in November. November got back up to normal then December and then this month revenue has literally halved but with the same view count. Not sure if it’s the curse of the invalid traffic or something else. Still continuing to diversify anyway!

@HairCutHarry It’s actually around the same but it’s an unfair contest with the rise in revenue over the past few months but still not sure what’s going on 😂

@nomadbarber Have you already tried comparing your January revenue so far with the same period last year?

@Daniel_Batal The rpm seems to have decreased significantly this month for all the top videos. In some cases halved. Not really sure why. Views are the same so far for the month.

@nomadbarber Hmmmm… That sounds like something different. Have you checked your individual CPM and RPM on a per video basis?

A lot of people wondering how I got my invalid traffic demonetisation should check out @Daniel_Batal video around. While it’s back monetised numbers are still half to before the issue started and I’m very hesitant to commit further to the channel and have started to plan my diversified income and move in another direction. Like a lot of creators have said, we should all diversify, so for now I’ll be putting more eggs in another basket and let that channel kind of do its own thing for a while.

@CreativeDojo @mwsculpts @YouTubeCreators Watch Daniel bátals video on it. Sadly I don’t have any answers I just got it back after relentless pestering of people over there

@nomadbarber @mwsculpts Hey buddy, any update on this? I'm literally in the same exact situation and @YouTubeCreators has been of no help. I've appealed so many times with the same canned response :(

Hey @nomadbarber , I, and I'm sure other creators are desperate to know how you got your AdSense reinstated. As a channel facing the exact same issue what steps did you take to resolve the issue?

@IBRAGODYT @Daniel_Batal Thank you - it’s still bittersweet - don’t trust the platform anymore 😂

@nomadbarber @Daniel_Batal Im glad you got your adsense reinstated, wish you all the best 👍🏻

If you haven’t already - please check out @Daniel_Batal video where we talk all things #invalidtraffic thank you again Daniel for creating awareness for all creators on the platform. youtube.com/live/r3NWru6vM…
