On December 24th, my Tappy channel was falsely demonetized for something that is not true.
This is messed up because a lot of people rely on this channel. It seems as though a lot of people have been having this same issue lately, and unfortunately it's effected me as well. I've been making videos for years on this channel and i have over 800 videos. Never got a single strike and for this to happen all of sudden is super upsetting so I'm sure its a mistake.
Please if this could be fixed that would be amazing🙏@TeamYouTube

It was only a matter of time before it happened to me.
I have not uploaded on this channel in over 100 days yet I get removed due to "Harmful content involving minors" this is just downright incorrect.
Please can I get a human review!!!

@TeamYouTube I receive an error after trying to appeal in the studio. Could I get real human reviewer please?

2 of my channels were demonetized in a massive AI moderation wave that seems to be affecting gaming creators. These channels employ a team of 14+ people, and it’s terrifying that there is no transparency at all from YouTube. @TeamYouTube @nealmohan @YouTubeCreators

This is like a next level of insane. About 1-2 months ago I started getting demonetized for Harmful Content involving minors on my Sonic YouTube channels. Now because there was NO minors at all involved, I was able to get the first one back after deleting some videos for "policy violations"
Then about 2 weeks later, 3 other of my channels under the same branding got demonetized for the same reason and the YouTube safety team told me I was expected to know what content was Harmful Content when they literally couldn't tell me themselves. So I once again deleted some content that I had to try and guess was "violative". So I worked on getting those back through my partner manager.
But while those were in the process, 3 more channels on the same day all got demonetized with the reasoning being, "Suspended due to related channel".
One of them was not even related to Sonic and to my understanding from the YouTube Team and what they have told is all Sonic content is now misleading kids content and myself and many others were getting demonetized so I figured its just the Sonic stuff so now I can continue YouTube without doing Sonic stuff. Well no because now I was completely suspended from the partner program so anything new I was trying to start regardless of it not being Sonic was denied from monetization.
So in order to get reinstated and continue doing YouTube (not Sonic related) I had to delete ALL of my videos since they were "violative content". Once I deleted 1,000+ videos across all the Sonic channels I got reinstated.
I thought everything was good even though it made no sense and I could move on, but now I was just demonetized for the SAME REASON "Harmful Content involving Minors" when there is NO CONTENT AT ALL on the channel since I literally deleted EVERYTHING.
make it make sense @TeamYouTube
Attached are the screenshots of the EMPTY channels with ZERO content that got demonetized just now.
