Finally have my channel back 😭 After 3 whole months of waiting and losing thousands of dollars of income, I am relieved to be back. So much unnecessary stress and sadness. YouTube treated its creators extremely unfairly during this ban wave. I hope this is over for good.

I gave you the whole timeframe. They didn't "react" to anything. YouTube gives you a 3 months wait period for you to "reflect" on your channel "mistakes" and self-audit by guessing what videos might be problematic. Once the 3 months pass, and you have made some changes, you can press a button to "Reapply", where they check your channel again and determine if you can now be accepted. After I clicked that button, they accepted my application in 2 days' time.

@stringieee How fast after you made those changes did YT react with a positive news? I find this info really interesting because that would mean they might have an algo which is monitoring demonetized channels content and is triggered when something is changed to re-evaluate their decision.

I was spamming YouTube nearly daily here on X, just check my post history. Nothing was working, clearly. So 3 months passed and I decided to try a last effort to genuinely understand which videos might be "problematic". I changed a lot of thumbnails which had a yellow school bus in them and deleted several videos with scary monsters in them. That's it. No other activities besides emailing them a bunch in the first month, only to get ignored with generic responses saying their decision was final.

Congrats on this huge WIN! 👏🏻 I'm wondering, what did your communication with YT looked like - who did you contact, over which channels, how often did you send them emails/messages, was your tone of voice always positive/neutral, etc? I'm doing a deep research of termination and demonetization cases to help others int he future and anything you can share would greatly benefit the community 🙏🏻

@EliasHub18199 No, I lost all accumulated earnings. Won't get them back.

@stringieee About your earnings... If are you demonitize and the earnings get to AdSense. Will they still pay you ?

@Indie_Update It's a guessing game brother. YouTube are impossible to communicate with. They don't seem to care about us, just corporate coldness. Just press the apply button and hope for the best. Good luck.

@stringieee Hey my channel got hit too and I can reapply but I’m scared am cause I don’t want to wait another 3 months, and tips on what I can do?

@CutieMedit I didn't. Just took a wild guess. Deleted videos with "scary" characters and changed some thumbnails

@stringieee how did you know what to delete?

@stevenyjsong Deleted some videos and reapplied

@stringieee Did you change anything about your channel? Or just reapplied after 90 days?

@Dhafin_Salman Just reapplied after deleting some videos

@stringieee nice bro, how you manage to get it back ?

@ecomnetworkers Yes, a few videos with "scary" characters

@stringieee Congrats mate! Did you delete anything before reapplying?

@AgicusA31290 thanks bro

@stringieee omg congratulations!!!

@DeyserMe Me 😢

youtubers whose monetization was falsely disabled - comment here. let’s see how many of us there are.

@TeamYouTube Please do a thorough human review of my channel. Many creators are getting reinstated every single day. Give me one last chance at an appeal. Channel: stringie (youtube.com/c/stringie) Case ID: [4-0711000040475]

@wbsumitgamer Congrats! @TeamYouTube Please take give my channel one last human review as well!

Thank you YouTube Team for accepting WB SUMIT GAMER into the YouTube Partner Program. I truly appreciate this opportunity. I will continue creating original and better content for the community. 🙏

@ZitalixYT @TeamYouTube Congrats! @TeamYouTube please look into my case as well! Give me another chance at a human review!

Guys, my monetization is back! Thank you all for your help, for reposting and assisting. Thank you @TeamYouTube it took a long time, but justice prevailed! I can't believe it 🥲

Day #4 of posting my @teardowngame videos on X. This is the content that @TeamYouTube is calling "harmful" to minors, leading to the demonetization of my entire channel. Teardown is just a voxel physics sandbox. There is no blood, gore, violence or minors. It's just a game about cubes (like Minecraft), and some cars. Dozens of creators have been reinstated, but hundreds like me remain ignored. YouTube keeps admitting they make mistakes, but also keep claiming that their decision is "final", which isn't true. The video below is my "Cars vs Hulk", which currently has 36M views, gained over the course of 3 years without any issues staying uploaded on YouTube. @YouTube is now retroactively flagging my channel as "dangerous" for videos like it. I'm doing this because @NpcUniverse did this for 10 days before finally getting reinstated, receiving an apology from YouTube. They've been reinstating at least 5 creators per day since then, but ignoring me. @TeamYouTube Please give me one final chance at human review to take a look at my channel! #ReinstateAllChannels @reneritchie @nealmohan @YouTubeCreators @YouTubeGaming

@YouTube @YouTubeCreators @TeamYouTube @reneritchie @nealmohan My channel (@MickeysPlayhouse" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@MickeysPlayho…) was caught up in the wave of channel exclusions from YPP that began several months ago due to “Harmful content involving minors.” Then, without any changes to my channel, the reason was changed to “Misleading family content.” This raises many questions. My content is not intended for children, 98% of my viewers are over 18 years old, and when uploading videos, I always indicate “Not for children.” Proof and screenshots are attached below. We are happy for every creator who manages to get their channel monetized again after countless attempts to get through dozens of posts and dozens of responses from bots and YouTube's AI moderation. Many channels have not been able to achieve this result, and it is painful to see some authors regain monetization while others do not, even though the content and niche are absolutely identical. Everything I have described above leads to only one conclusion: this is simply some kind of misunderstanding, a mistake. Each of us wants only one thing: for this to be resolved as soon as possible: @SLHanimation @HazardCinema @Greebsichannel @SonicFunnyhog @drippy9000 @doritosreaction @stringieee @sj_games1 @SonicWoodyYT @SkwinyFunHaver @PlayShinyLamp @Gajetoon_ @GipsoCartoon @Cryptid_VR_360 @patluboy @verge00_YT @criminalfreddys @Daylight_fnf @yuan_chong49275 @DimasPR36131095 @cazzycosmin @OrchardAnimate @sweetasyo @ciconimation @maxedystuff @wajahatdsr @JustinPete23025 @AgicusA31290 @er_mochas98974 @Sangsang_Cmrce @SlicK_anims @Gooxy_Series @SWorld88023 @StTyler68303 @rebel1772498 @shogozyt @Markanimation07 @green_light_cr8 @ZitalixYT @StormXF3 @Haitiansenpai @GZUprise @RSmokeTheBear @musichelpdude and many, many others by the author. #ReinstateAllChannels Each of us wants to continue working!✊

WE are desperate because we know we are RIGHT. Do not use 'VISUAL REPRESENTATION' as your excuse. Hundreds of these channels are monetized in the same niches. WE can modify our settings. We cannot control what people watches. @TeamYouTube #ReinstateAllChannels
