Puppetgate

Hello @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators, we strongly believe our channel: Puppetgate @Puppetgate" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@Puppetgate was #demonetized in error due to #InauthenticContent Every upload involves original scripts, filming performances of hand-puppets on green screen, 3D set design, compositing, editing, and layered sound design. Each episode takes 1–2 weeks to produce. We create satirical comedy skits, not mass-produced content, and we follow the YouTube Partner Program policies closely. We would sincerely appreciate a manual review. Thank you.

@nealmohan @YouTubeCreators @YouTube @Jesser @alexandracooper @Money23Green @heykayadams @Jujubballin @ItsAdamW @urmomashley @DudePerfect @SubwayTakes @Trevornoah Neal, I need your help to remonetize my channel which was demonetized in error. My channel is as authentic as it gets: I perform and film hand puppets on green screens and spend days editing and compositing every episode. x.com/puppetgate/sta…

Thank you to all of the @youtubecreators, artists, athletes, partners, and fans who brought such great energy to this year’s #Brandcast, and thank you to our amazing @youtube team that produced another incredible event.

@ImMeme0 Yea, looks like several fake accounts! Bunch of lefty losers!

@puppetgate I see a fake account is showing up. Thank you!

I was told that my posts aren’t showing up on my followers’ feeds, and my username also doesn’t appear in the search bar. Can anyone please check if this is a glitch or if my account is being shadowbanned and not showing up in search?

@CriticsAnalysis @CChannels17873 @PBDsPodcast Wow is it really 30 million? That's a lot more than I thought!

@puppetgate @CChannels17873 @PBDsPodcast Almost 30 million channels have been terminated and demonetize in last 3 months.

YouTube Is Changing the Entire Algorithm "MrBeast’s viewership has dropped 50%. He used to get 400M–900M views, now it’s 60M–120M. Why? Because YouTube controls the knob." "YouTube hit a mark where they said: stop recommending the big popular channels, start recommending the smaller ones."

@SkilawAI @nealmohan @YouTube Yea bro! Keep your head up!

Creative visions taking months to build, then cut off with a copy paste response that clearly proves nobody actually watched a single video. That is one of the most demoralizing things a creator can go through. I am living something very similar right now. Three channels demonetized in two months, all appeals rejected, and the only answers I got were the same generic templates telling me nothing. Your work clearly matters and you deserve actual eyes on it.

Creators today have the scale and independence to build their businesses anywhere, but they’re choosing @youtube. That's because we're a true partner and the ultimate home for their most ambitious creative visions.

@JinJung I am testing out Rumble by putting all my content there too, but there is not much discoverability on Rumble, you have to herd your audience from other platforms, but it is very hard to get them to go from YT to Rumble to watch.

@puppetgate Yeah I heard of that. That is horrible. Looks very similar to what X is doing

𝕏 wants to compete with YouTube. Youtube demonetizes AI content and rewards authenticity. X monetizes and pushes AI content and throttles authenticity. Make it make sense.

Yes I think they are using a flawed AI detector that wasn't trained properly, but the worst part is the appeal system which is straight up copy & paste canned AI responses, they are absolutely not doing real manual reviews. They keep telling me to reapply after 90 days and to change my channel by making original content. I have over 100 episodes of hand puppetry with green screen compositing, 3d animation, occasional AI, original songs recorded in studio, I write my own skits, and lyrics. It is fowl how they are treating the people that made them who they are.

@puppetgate I heard this is due to using AI to do the detection, is that true?

YouTube should focus on having real humans review channels that have been erroneously demonetized for "inauthentic content". A channel like mine that spends a week on average to create one episode of hand puppets is not "inauthentic content". This feels so arbitrary and flawed to the max!

editing made easy with the YouTube Create app! 📱 use these tools to refine your next video: 🔇 remove background noise ✍️ add automatic captions 🎵 select copyright safe music 📐 adjust aspect ratio to vertical, horizontal, or square

Yes and this is the copy and paste response you DM me, which clearly shows to me that no one has actually reviewed my channel. How is 100+ videos of hand puppets filmed on green screens and edited for days to weeks for one single episode considered "inauthentic content"? Please explain to me like I am 5 years old. And why is it that my content continues to have ads before the videos, therefore it is good enough to be monetized, but you are unwilling to share the revenue to me, the creator that has spent thousands and thousands of hours on the content? Can you make that make sense?

@puppetgate We've seen your DM about this. We know how much this means to you, so we shared more info about your channel's YPP removal via DM

@1Skilaw @nealmohan @YouTube Bro, it is heartbreaking. This is my full time job, and now I have no more income. I have two channels they demonetized, one for hand-puppet skits and one for meme videos. 😭

That is what people forget. Demonetization does not just affect income, it can stop creators from even continuing their ideas. I’ve had my own channels affected too, and copy paste replies make it feel like the actual creative work behind the channel was never really seen. YouTube needs to review these cases with real context, not just send generic responses to creators who are trying to prove their work.

Dems be like: everything is fine @Tim_Walz

@real_Monumental What if I want to remain anonymous/faceless for safety reasons because I do political satire?

My channel was REmonetized today. I know a lot of you are still fighting for your channels and feel left in the dark and hopeless. I get it. I wanted to make this video real quick just explaining some of the steps I took over the last month that may have helped in getting YouTube to finally review my case. I also recommend a couple of simple things that you should do that may help you get your channel back. I'm not promising I can solve everyone's demonetization issues here, but I know how devastating it is to lose your channel and to have no idea what to do to get it back. These are things that were recommended to me by others, and they helped me out, so I'm hoping they can help you too!

It's laundry day at the Capitol @IlhanMN @Ilhan
