This is ridiculous. I'm going to move heaven and earth to fix this.
@TeamYouTube wrongly demonetized my channel Jortx on April 17 for "Inauthentic Content."
This is CLEARLY AN ERROR and it puts my entire business at risk.
- The channel has 5 VIDEOS in 4 months.
- Each takes 3+ weeks to produce.
- 10-20 day gaps between uploads.
This is literally the OPPOSITE of mass-produced. Clearly collateral damage from an automated AI ban wave.
Please, just LOOK at my history:
• 3+ years on YouTube
• Multiple channels, 500K+ subscribers combined
• Millions of views, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars generated for YouTube
• NOT A SINGLE STRIKE. Ever.
• 10+ people depending on this work full-time
A single qualified human looking at this account for 30 seconds would immediately see this is a mistake.
Instead, all my channels are now at risk because of one false accusation from an algorithm.
What I've done:
• Public tweet to @TeamYouTube yesterday → replied with a generic automated message that doesn't even address my case
• DMs on X → no reply
• Formal legal appeal to yt-partner-support@google.com today citing EU Digital Services Act (Articles 14, 15, 17, 20)
The response? An automated email sent back 1 SECOND later. Screenshot below ⬇️
AI banning. AI responding. Zero humans. This is exactly what Article 20 DSA exists to prevent.
As a European creator, if my case is not properly reviewed by a qualified human, I will escalate under the EU Digital Services Act (Articles 17 & 20) to the Spanish Digital Services Coordinator and the European Commission. @YouTube , this is not optional. It's binding EU law.
This goes against common sense AND the law.
We need to cut this out at the root, before no one is safe.
Please RT and tag @TeamYouTube to the death.
Please.
Tomorrow it could be YOUR channel.
We need a real human to look at this.

My channel was demonetized for “inauthentic content.” Each of my video clearly differs in narrative, research, visuals with substantial editing, and are NOT repetitive. This was clearly flagged incorrectly by AI. @TeamYouTube Please reconsider with a human reviewer

@defnotchiefYTA @YouTubefukugyo yea. might to have to experiment with posting naked yoga to get terminated instead of demonitized🥀
English

@rezureal @YouTubefukugyo yeah, people got hit appealing or not appealing because if you dont appeal they just automatically reject you.

【動画で再審査請求できない】
どうやら「信頼できないコンテンツ」については
動画ベースでの再審査請求ができない。(画像一枚目)
↓
その代わり「再審査請求を開始」と押すとヘルプに繋がる。(画像二枚目)
現状まとめ
・日本中で収益化停止増加
・誤停止の可能性もあるが現状何とも言えない
やるべきこと
・これまで投稿された動画は絶対に消さない
とりあえずこれくらい。
ヘルプに問い合わせるかどうかも慌てずに周りの反応を見たほうが賢明。
何が起こるかわからないので。
動画を消してはいけないのは
「正しい運営をしていたのに、それを証明する再審査請求ができなくなるから」です。
(画像は知人提供。ナカジマ自身はセーフでした💦)


ナカジマ@3分ショート研究家@YouTubefukugyo
【信頼出来ないコンテンツ】 これが理由により収益化停止が相次いでいるようです。 ホワイトにやっておられる方は慌てず ・動画を絶対に削除しない ・再審査請求動画をルール通りに作成する 様にして下さい。 再審査請求動画のポイントは ・教育的価値を付与している ・AIだけで量産していない ・画面録画ではなく自分自身の動画制作環境を映す ここら辺がポイントになると思います。 僕自身も過去2回、収益化停止がしてますがどちらも再審査請求により復活しています。 落ち着いて慌てず行動して下さい。

@defnotchiefYTA @YouTubefukugyo in my experience even if you don’t appeal you’ll still get hit with a chain adsense demonetization
English

@YouTubefukugyo Be careful with your adsense in case you get rejection because they can demonetize it all for related channel.

@noahmorris did not know yta existed, did instagram theme pages, then thought of "youtube theme pages" and started uploading gaming highlights 😂

so howtoai just got its third strike in a single month
it's been up for two years, gaining over 330,000 subscribers
over 13 MILLION+ total views on educational content that have inspired people to start youtube
and youtube still relies on AI for automated policy reviews..
although it is clear that this is not due to the new AI policies everyone has hyped, something has changed
I received my first warning 1 year ago,
since the time when the channel first blew up, I've been posting the same content, making sure to stay within the policies for dangerous & harmful content
and no, my content is not made with AI or "AI slop"
a single video takes over 3 weeks to create with our team of 7 people
during the last 45 days only (July & Aug), youtube has striked 3 of my uploads
2 strikes consecutively on new uploads
1 older video taken down
all without a valid explanation, or explanation at all
(and of course youtube does not want to share the specific reason / timestamps)
I would've respected their decisions if they had a bit of legitimacy behind them
but all appeals rejected within minutes
even a YOUTUBE SUPPORT SUPERVISOR disregarded me from contacting them, instead of providing information that can help clear up the situation
I don't know what you @TeamYouTube @YouTube have got going on behind the scenes
but our team consisting of 7 people are now left without work or a place to show their creative skill
some team members had been working with howtoai for over a year
I advise you fix your platform or make this right before creators start migrating to other social media
and please don't reply to my post with the standard template message that leads to a dead end
--
for everyone else reading this,
setbacks like this eventually happen when you're starting to become "successful" or see significant results
I'll be spending my focus on scaling my other faceless channels even harder
howtoai is one of my earlier & biggest channels so it definitely sucks
especially considering it is a super clean educational channel free of copyright, spam or harmful content
but we move & $200K profit months are just around the corner
with our without howtoai.
tag @TeamYouTube if you wanna help make this right & share if you got a similar experience below

@joeyleeyt flashbacks to when i was asking @rezureal to check Voice overs for me 😭

march results from the craziest challenge in this community:
I’ve never seen any guru host a public race even close to this one
@joeylee1991: $84k last month
@rezureal: $75k last month
@JimYouTube_ : $30k last month
we’ll see the winner very soon
comment who you think is going to win and
I’ll expose some backend strategies how I helped the winner hit 6 figures a month…
will DM only to those who guess right⬇️

Joey Lee@joeyleeyt
Ended March with 84k revenue across all channels. Probably would have hit 6 figures in March, but got hit with a termination. Can't complain though, it's been a good month. Shout out to my coach and friend @wizofYT 100k in April incoming.
