Hi @TeamYouTube Is anyone at YouTube actually going to do something about this? I genuinely don’t understand how a mistake on your side can cost creators their channels, audiences, and entire livelihoods, yet more than 2.5 months later, nothing has been resolved.

Honestly, thumbnail changes are nowhere near the biggest problem creators are facing right now. Even if this were introduced, it would be nothing compared to what’s happening to creators every single day. More and more people are having their channels terminated, demonetized, or permanently banned from YouTube and Google altogether because AI enforcement systems appear to be flagging innocent creators. People are losing years of hard work, their audiences, and their livelihoods overnight, only to be met with generic responses and told their decisions are “final.” When is this going to stop? This is what we should be paying more attention to. Thumbnail policies are a minor inconvenience compared to the devastating reality faced by creators who believe they’ve been wrongfully terminated and can’t get anyone to properly review their cases. Let’s focus on the creators losing everything, not just on thumbnails. @TeamYouTube @YouTube

@TeamYouTube This is how YouTube Creator Support treats its creators when its own systems may get it wrong. For over 2 months, I’ve been ignored, fed generic responses, and told that everything is “final” instead of having a real human properly examine my case. My friend’s channel was terminated first. Then my 2 monetized YPP channels were terminated for Circumvention because they were linked to his. Just like that, my channels, my audience, and my monthly income disappeared overnight. I spent over a year building 2 channels with 94K+ subscribers and 190M+ views combined. I never intentionally circumvented any termination, and I never knowingly violated YouTube’s rules. Yet nobody seems willing to look at the full situation and address the possibility that YouTube made a mistake. What makes this even more frustrating is what I keep seeing here on X: creators losing their channels, monetization, and livelihoods in what appears to be a much wider wave of enforcement. I can’t speak for every case, but from the evidence and circumstances I’ve seen, I genuinely believe many creators deserve a proper review instead of being dismissed with generic replies. And please, stop telling us that everything is “final.” We’ve all seen cases where terminated channels were eventually restored after a more thorough review. So why is nobody willing to take another serious look at ours? I am exhausted, frustrated, and honestly disgusted that after 2 months, I still cannot get someone to properly examine all 3 channels and the circumstances surrounding their terminations. @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators — I’m asking you one more time: please have a real person review all 3 channels, investigate what happened, and restore them if these terminations were made in error. Please do the same for other creators who have been wrongly affected. I genuinely don’t know what else we’re supposed to do to be heard. We put years of work into building something, and it can all disappear overnight while support refuses to address the actual problem. How is this fair? The 3 channels: Crypted Realm - my friend’s channel. Terminated first for alleged Spam, Deceptive Practices, and related policy violations. I believe this original termination was a mistake and that it triggered everything that followed. youtube.com/channel/UCnvmztr… Jungle Vision - my channel. Monetized YPP channel with 55K subscribers and 100M+ views. Terminated for Circumvention after Crypted Realm was terminated. youtube.com/channel/UCr8sgwu… Cage Snippets - my channel. Monetized YPP channel with 39K subscribers and 90M+ views. Terminated for Circumvention 7 days after Jungle Vision. youtube.com/channel/UCYQwuTH… Please stop sending generic replies and start taking responsibility when your enforcement systems may get it wrong. We deserve a fair review, real answers, and our channels back if the decisions were made in error.

Hello @TeamYouTube , I’m reaching out because I have been fighting for over TWO MONTHS to recover my two monetized YouTube channels, which I believe were WRONGFULLY TERMINATED. I have exhausted the available appeal routes and repeatedly contacted YouTube Support, but I still haven’t received a meaningful response addressing the core of my case. Please take a moment to read the full situation. These are all three channels involved: 1. CRYPTED REALM — my friend’s channel, which was WRONGFULLY TERMINATED FIRST for Spam, Deceptive Practices, and Scams: youtube.com/channel/UCnvmztr… 2. JUNGLE VISION — my monetized channel, terminated for Circumvention on the same evening: youtube.com/channel/UCr8sgwu… 3. CAGE SNIPPETS — my second monetized channel, terminated for Circumvention seven days later: youtube.com/channel/UCYQwuTH… HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED: My friend’s channel, Crypted Realm, was terminated first. I firmly believe that this original termination was a mistake. I helped my friend with the first five videos and then handed the channel over to him. He managed the channel and uploaded the subsequent videos himself. The channel was under his own account and identity, and he did not have access to my channels. I understand that YouTube may identify connections between channels through account activity, previous logins, IP addresses, AdSense, or other signals. However, a technical association does not, by itself, explain the actual circumstances or establish that I intentionally used my channels to circumvent a termination. I never used Jungle Vision or Cage Snippets to bypass a termination. Neither of my channels had any strikes or policy violations before they were terminated. After Crypted Realm was terminated, Jungle Vision was terminated for Circumvention that same evening. Cage Snippets followed seven days later. Together, my channels had 94,000+ subscribers and over 190 MILLION views. They were both monetized and generated approximately $2,000–$3,000 per month, representing my primary source of income. I lost years of work, my audience, and my livelihood. WHAT I HAVE ALREADY DONE: • Submitted appeals for my terminated channels. • Contacted YouTube Partner Support and YouTube Support repeatedly. • Explained the timeline and why I believe the original Crypted Realm termination was wrongful. • Requested a genuine human review of the full circumstances, rather than another generic explanation of the Circumvention policy. My appeals were rejected, and support continues to tell me that the investigation is complete and the decision is FINAL. One of the responses from support referred me back to a manager’s previous email under Reference ID 5-3811000041994, without addressing the fundamental issue I have repeatedly raised. I have been trying for more than two months to get someone to examine this case properly. I am not asking for special treatment, and I am not asking YouTube to ignore its policies. I AM ASKING YOU TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER THE ORIGINAL CRYPTED REALM TERMINATION WAS WRONGFUL AND TO REASSESS THE CONSEQUENCES FOR MY TWO CHANNELS. If the original termination was mistaken, that is crucial context for evaluating the subsequent Circumvention decisions. I need someone to examine the actual timeline and circumstances, not simply repeat that a previous appeal was rejected. It is deeply upsetting that creators can lose their income and years of hard work, then spend months trying to prove that a wrongful termination occurred. Some creators recover their channels after a month, others after six months, and some never get them back. A response stating “final decision” does not resolve a case if the central concern has never been meaningfully addressed. Please, could you escalate this to the appropriate team for a thorough manual review of all three channels, beginning with Crypted Realm, which was terminated first, and then reassessing the terminations of Jungle Vision and Cage Snippets? If a review of my friend’s channel is restricted for privacy reasons, I understand. I am asking you to consider the circumstances relevant to my own channels and explain what review process, if any, remains available. I have spent over two months trying every available route. I would be genuinely grateful if someone could finally examine the full case and help correct these wrongful terminations. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
