absolute retards
@TeamYouTube
It turns out Youtube's AI moderation is demonetizing true crime content creators across the board. Explore With Us has been around for over a decade and gets tens of millions of views per month.
EWU was demonetized yesterday as well, the same as me ("generic content").
Is this AI moderation gone haywire?
"All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace"? Perhaps not.

YouTube's Risking a HUGE LAWSUIT
They're directly VIOLATING the EU Digital Services Act’s Article 17
This states that YouTube as a VLOP is required to give affected users a CLEAR and SPECIFIC statement of reasons for restrictions such as the suspension, termination or other restriction of monetary payments
Meanwhile YouTube just hit this guy (who's a EU citizen ) with "Channel violates other policy"
WHICH OTHER POLICY?????
@TeamYouTube @YouTube @vonderleyen
This has been happening to thousands of creators from the EU 🧵
@TeamYouTube you are STEALING $10,000/month from me.
First I was demonetized for "Reused content"
Complete lie, we use ZERO content from anyone else.
So I made an appeal explaining all of this clearly
Rejected. New reason: “Channel violates other policy.”
This may as well read "We want to take 100% of adsense revenue"
@TeamYouTube are you able to tell me which specific policy this channel is in violation of please? (sent link in PMs)
Tell me and I’ll shut up
Can’t tell me? Then that’s theft, and I’ll fight for every dollar
Beware of HSBC!
HSBC held my money hostage for 11 months
Froze my account for zero reason and ghosted me
I had to hunt down their executives’ emails just to get my own cash back
They tried to throw $829 at me to shut up
Instead I pulled their internal files and took them to the ombudsman
They got forced to pay me $3,160
And I’m not the only one. HSBC Expat has 1.5 stars on Trustpilot, packed with people whose money got frozen the same way
Same bank that laundered cartel money and walked away with a fine
Get your money out before you’re next
Does anyone have experience with buying services from SWAPD?

⚠️ WARNING To All Creators!
❌ Do NOT Use StoryBlocks!
They're still holding around $7K of ad revenue they illegally claimed from us while we had a valid license.
It's not about the money, it's about the principle of not accepting robbery.
I will keep warning all creators.
It seems like I am not the only one StoryBlocks took money from while having a valid license.
This is outrageous.

Grateful we recently broke our daily & weekly revenue record on one of our channels:
- Almost $16,000 in 1 day;
- & over $91,000 in 7 days.
Other channels also doing very well, important to be diversified.

At 18 I refused to go to law school
At 19 I was a $1,000/mo delivery driver
At 23 I made 7-figs+ with Faceless YouTube
Let me quickly reintroduce myself (as I’m getting back to posting on X):
From 10-18, I had a pre-fabricated plan:
Graduate with perfect grades to become a lawyer in Denmark.
So that’s what I did.
99% of the top colleges in the country would accept me.
But I had a weird feeling that’s been haunting me…
Committing to 8 years of law school did not make sense at all.
It’s just felt too damn long.
So I did the math and came to a logical conclusion:
“I can spend those 8 years becoming a lawyer, or I can spend ~5 years going all-in on something else entrepreneurial, just like I always wanted to, and even if I fail, I can just come back to law school. However, nobody grinds for 5 straight years and walks away with nothing, right?”
With that in mind, I dropped my predefined safe path and went all in on online business.
Sacrificing the good grades that would’ve given me a 100% chance of building a successful career for a risky childhood dream.
What followed wasn’t that glamorous though:
I would undergo 6 months of getting failing at EVERYTHING:
→ TikTok Reddit stories
→ Affiliate marketing
→ UGC
→ Fiverr gigs
Even picking up a job as a delivery driver where I'd sneak in my laptop to cram in some work whenever deliveries were slow.
Then at 19, I decided I was going to lock in on 1 business model...
Faceless YouTube Automation.
I got hooked on a niche and decided to go all in for a year without expecting anything:
→ Built a small team
→ Launched into true crime
→ Posted to the void for months
Then got motion for the first time in my life by coming up with a unique twist on a trendy criminal.
Before I knew it, I had an insane outlier video crossing 60M views with $5+ RPMs.
It was funny how I ended up talking about court cases, crime, and law in one way or another after all.
I felt like I finally made it.
Until one day that same email said something that haunts me to this day:
“Your channel has been demonetized.”
My heart drops.
I start panicking.
I couldn’t believe I was about to lose it all after grinding for an entire year.
Month after month I started receiving a barrage of emails from YouTube demonetizing every single one of my channels.
I knew it was just a matter of time until everything got nuked.
But at the time I didn't know how appeals worked and didn’t know a single person who'd been through one.
So I started reading Google help pages 24/7, cover to cover.
Researching non-stop about every “invisible” aspect of YouTube that nobody teaches:
→ Policies
→ Compliance
→ Phone numbers
→ Recovery emails
→ AdSense isolation
So I took a bunch of notes, changed the packaging, recorded an appeal video, and submitted it asking for human review.
Months later I got my monetization back on all channels.
I’ll never forget the happiness I felt that day.
In the end, it was all a blessing in disguise.
Learning so much about infrastructure took my whole operation to a new level.
It allowed me to safely expand into multiple languages.
→ Spanish
→ French
→ German
→ Russian
→ Brazilian *ahem* Portuguese
Taking me to:
→ 1.5M+ subscribers
→ 7-figs+
→ 349M+ views on long-form content
And that’s when the YouTube game started changing.
Demonetizations + terminations became more and more rampant and the idea of “infrastructure” started appearing.
I jumped on to it quick and slowly realized I was getting burned by EVERY proxy provider.
They’d sell me “clean residential”. Yet I was met with shadowbans, at some point 10+ terminated channels in a week only to look up the IPs and finding high fraud scores, some IPs flagged for VPN traffic, etc.
After a bunch of trial and error I realized that almost all providers sell low-quality heavily reused IPs used by scammers, spammers, fraudsters, etc., which just makes doing YouTube on them damn near impossible.
No provider understood the IP quality required for faceless YouTube.
So I built @TubeProxiess to fix this forever.
Today, we allow 1,000+ customers access clean, safe IPs.
We've become the world's leading YT infra provider SOLELY through word-of-mouth.
None of them have to go through what I had to discover and fix on my own.
And with my story over, I'll be posting everything I learned from my 5+ years of experience:
→ YT infrastructure breakdowns
→ Appeal script frameworks from having sent 100+
→ How to avoid shadowbans / copyright / demonetizations / terminations
→ How to maximize trust score and minimize fraud score for healthy reach
→ How I safely scale channels on risky (yet explosive) YT niches
→ Blueprints from what I see working on YT right now
→ The AI stack I run my full production on
If that’s what you're interested in, drop a follow on @julianfaceless so you don't miss out on the sauce.
(And since I’m feeling generous today, I’ll audit and help anyone who comments or DMs “PROXIES” set up their YouTube infrastructure properly)
Enjoy 🥂
It's been 60 days since I reapplied for monetization.
Still "under review".
No explanation from YouTube. Useless template answers.
Channel has 1M+ subscribers. $3M revenue.
100% compliant to YouTube's terms & guidelines.
@TeamYouTube please fix this ASAP.
$4.6 trillion company. Can't review a channel application in under a month. Or even under 5 weeks.
Reapplied June 27th. Still says "under review."
It's been 38 days, and counting.
1,000,000+ subs sitting demonetized this whole time. That's not a small amount of ad revenue just gone while they sit on it.
You'd think a company this size could staff a review team. Guess not.
Please fix this, @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTubeLiaison.
