Day 27 of fighting to get my YouTube channels back.🚨
It's been 27 days since YouTube terminated my channels, and I'm still waiting for a proper explanation.
Here's what happened:
Someone else's YouTube account was logged into my device sometime around April/May 2025. On October 14, 2026, that person's account was terminated. Just minutes later, one of my accounts was terminated for circumvention. The following day, my main channel, created in 2023, was also terminated for the same reason.
My main channel had 1,077 subscribers and was finally gaining momentum. I had spent years creating makeup transformations, tutorials and creative content. I never created another channel to bypass a termination.
I appealed and requested a proper human review, but my appeal was rejected within hours. Since then, I've contacted YouTube Help Center, spoken to support and reached out to @TeamYouTube. All I've received are repetitive responses without addressing the actual circumstances.
My questions are simple:
1. What specific evidence proves I violated the circumvention policy?
2. Why were two different people's accounts linked simply because one was logged into the same device?
3. Why am I not getting a meaningful explanation or an opportunity for a proper review?
I'm not asking YouTube to make an exception for me. I'm asking for transparency, evidence and basic fairness.
Creators deserve more than automated decisions and copy-paste replies.
@YouTube @TeamYouTube Please investigate my case and give me a genuine manual review.

Semi-positive update here, I guess?
I was able to speak to a support chat specialist. Got a link that was not given to me before by anyone else that seemed to give me contact with an actual human for the first time throughout this entire process
A secondary review of the channel was filed by my legal team and my agency, and they're working on that now. I have no clue when they'll finish the review, but at least I have confirmation that someone at YouTube is giving me a second look
In the mean time, special shoutout to Grossi Posse. They shared my struggle on Reddit and Tom himself donated $2,500 to the cause, going above and beyond. If I get my channel back, if Grossi does his million dollar stream again, the game plan will be to do the overnight shift for every single night, whether it's calling international sporting events or playing GeoGuessr or live editing, with all money from those streams going to whatever charity Grossi decides
First time I've felt optimistic in days. I'm hopeful there's a light at the end of the tunnel here
Still angry and upset (and disappointed because the Kirk Cousins emergency livestream would've been so much fun), but we *might* be getting somewhere. Fingers crossed

Day 5 without my channel
I am begging someone at YouTube to review and re-open my situation. This was clearly a mistake that has impacted a lot of creators. My channel did not violate any practices and I wish to resolve this amicably

- My theory behind this massive wave of innocent creators getting TERMINATED and DEMONETIZED is that YouTube is cleaning house and making room ahead of the major update expected in February 2027. I honestly have no other explanation for why so many creators are being wiped off the platform, including my friend, whose termination dragged me down with him because of YouTube's ridiculous "Circumvention" policy.
- Here are a few things that make me question what's really going on:
- YouTube has said it wants to PAY CREATORS MORE in 2027, yet at the same time, the requirements to enter the YPP have reportedly been raised to 8,000 watch hours for long-form content and 20 MILLION engaged Shorts views.
- It seems like they want to keep only the strongest creators on the platform, but I genuinely believe MANY of us are producing quality content and deserve to be here just as much as anyone else.
- Their enforcement policies make absolutely no sense when you look at what's happening. Spam, scams, impersonation, circumvention, sex and nudity... I'm seeing countless channels terminated under these categories, even though, from what I can see, they haven't violated any of them.
- I have no idea how or why so many channels are being flagged, but one thing is clear: AN AI-DRIVEN SYSTEM THAT MAKES THESE KINDS OF MISTAKES NEEDS SERIOUS CHANGES.
- I genuinely don't know what else to say. Over 800 posts on X, countless emails, nothing but generic bot responses, and absolutely ZERO empathy for the people affected.
- I believe far too many of these cases are the result of mistakes in YouTube's own system. The way they're treating the very people who have worked so hard to build something on their platform is incredibly disrespectful and ungrateful.
- YOUTUBE'S SYSTEM NEEDS AN URGENT OVERHAUL. CREATORS DESERVE REAL HUMAN REVIEWS, FAIR DECISIONS, AND ACTUAL SUPPORT.

Today’s update: unfortunately, nothing. Silence on YouTube’s end
I’ve been working with multiple legal representatives to get this resolved amicably and promptly. I have yet to hear a response from @TeamYouTube in the last 48+ hours, despite my repeated pleas for help in fixing this matter

Hey @TeamYouTube, our channel was falsely terminated by an automated bot system.
We’ve already submitted an official appeal, but another bot auto-rejected it within minutes. We have strictly followed all community guidelines and desperately need a real human to review our case. We don't believe our channel was properly reviewed before it was terminated. Our channel brings helpful and educational content ONLY to our subscribers.
Can someone please look into this and escalate it?

You demonitized my clip channel for "reused content" when there are hundreds of channels that do FAR less editing then I do. FUCK YOU.

Multiple people have reached out asking how they can support me with YouTube. So, I set up a GoFundMe and explained my situation in this video down below
For every $250, we'll do a bonus stream once we get everything back
I can't thank you guys enough

Added update:
The AI moderation system flagged something. The AI then reviewed my content (again, never saying what my content was) and said that it violated the @TeamYouTube guidelines, with no explanation given as to how the content violated the guidelines or even what violation I committed
Once again, this is entirely done through automation, as I confirmed through recorded documentation that there is no way to speak to a human

Update after day 3 without a channel thanks to @TeamYouTube
I don’t want to divulge specifics, but know that myself, alongside my legal team and applicable representatives, are trying to get this resolved with Google and YouTube amicably
The recorded confirmation I got today that there’s was no human that looked at this throughout the entire process and that there is no human to contact is both reassuring, knowing that no sensible person has come to this decision, and appalling/scary, knowing that a platform based on the creativity of individuals is run by robots, and it can happen to any creator at any time
Not gonna lie- today freaking sucked. It sucked just sitting on my couch watching the games today and not being able to do anything. It sucks not streaming tonight’s Sunday Night Football game and interacting with you guys and going over everything. I feel like I did when I first moved out to Arizona in 2019- hopeless with no one, just in my living room by myself, waiting for something to happen
Obviously, the financial burden that this has placed on me has been substantial, but the emotional burden even more so, because of how much I love doing this and interacting with you guys. It’s slowly killing me inside with each passing day, and I’m scared of what will happen if I don’t get my channel back. I worked so hard to climb to the top and turn my passion into a career. I sacrificed everything to do this. To have it stripped away with no prior warning in the middle of my busiest season because of an automation error is a gut punch. I am not well
Again, I hope to resolve this matter with Google and YouTube amicably. I’m assuming nothing will happen tonight, but maybe things will pick up on Monday since it is a business day. For my mental sake, I hope they do
Appreciate you guys a ton. You guys have kept me going. We’re gonna come out on the other side on this

I have received 4 messages from @TeamYouTube in the last 24 hours after my appeal was denied
The messages:
- We’re looking into it
- We’re looking into it
- You’re banned
- Stop bothering us there’s nothing we can do. This matter is over
Update: the people at @TeamYouTube confirmed that the original decision stands and my account has been terminated
They sent me a very helpful guide as to what their spam policy is, despite NEVER TELLING ME SPECIFICALLY WHAT I DID OR HOW I BROKE IT, and despite me literally repeating their spam policy to them and going prong by prong about it
I have no idea what to do at this point besides the lawsuit. I’m at a loss. My life is over

Sasha Vujacic says he and Kobe Bryant spoke English on defense, then switched to Italian on offense so Tony Allen couldn’t understand them
Sasha: That’s why when we played them, like he was the one actually, when Kobe and I would speak on the basketball court, he would come and listen, and we started speaking Italian. They’re like, ‘What? What is he talking about?’”
Tony Allen: “I knew it. I knew it. I like, bro, they just said something in English on the defensive end. They get on the offensive end, they speaking a whole another language.”
Z-Bo: “You knew it, huh?”
Tony Allen: “I promise you I knew it. Yeah, cuz I’ll be overplaying, and then y’all saying something to make when you go back door or something.”
Sasha: “That’s why you were laughing.”
Tony Allen: “I knew it. I appreciate you for clarifying that.”
