Haven’t uploaded on this faceless channel in 3 months!
Woke up to an old video randomly deciding to pop off!
Top 10 best feelings as a Creator!
YouTube is stealing $200,000 from me every single month!
Over the last year, my team and I built a gaming channel network that generated over 100 million long-form views every month.
Then overnight, my two best performing channels were removed.
Not demonetized. Completely removed off the platform.
For the last 3 months, I've been in constant contact with YouTube trying to understand why.
One person told me it was circumvention.
Another said it was spam and deceptive practices.
Two different explanations.
One situation.
Not one clear answer.
How are creators supposed to learn from mistakes when the platform itself can't consistently explain what the mistake even was?
That's the real issue.
Complete lack of transparency.
Somewhere along the way, YouTube's automated moderation systems became the judge, jury, and executioner.
A channel gets flagged.
A decision gets made.
Years of work disappear overnight.
And the people affected are left with little more than an automated email and a generic appeal process.
This used to be a platform where creators could focus on entertaining audiences and building communities.
Now many creators live in fear, wondering when a random demonetization, restriction, or termination might hit their channel next.
And this isn't just a hobby anymore.
This pays mortgages.
This feeds families.
This supports my team of 25+ people.
Editors.
Designers.
Actors.
Real people who have spent the last 3 months waiting for answers alongside me.
Instead, we've received automated responses and copy-and-paste emails.
Creators wait weeks for a real human, and when we finally get one, the answers often raise more questions than they solve.
Nobody should have to gamble their livelihood on vague policy enforcement and automated support systems.
Nobody should spend months trying to decode conflicting answers from different representatives.
And nobody should lose years of work without receiving a clear explanation why.
I know I'm not alone in this.
If you've been demonetized, shadowbanned, age-restricted, suspended, or terminated without a real explanation, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
We're forced to play guessing games with appeals because YouTube refuses to communicate clearly.
Making this post is my last resort.
Not because I want sympathy.
Because I want answers.
And because thousands of other creators are dealing with the exact same problem.
If you've experienced something similar, tag @TeamYouTube.
Because creators deserve answers!

How many tweets is it gonna take for @YouTube to change something about this?
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.
Hello, @TeamYouTube
One of my channels has been demonetized for "Harmful Content Involving Minors".
My channel does not feature any minors, nor does it portray any harmful or sexual themes at all.
Leading me to believe this is a huge misunderstanding...
(see replies)
We have a team of 20 talented people that depend on the stability of this channel for their livelihood, and to have it taken away with no warning is truly disheartening.
I politely and respectfully request everyone's support on this issue by tagging @TeamYouTube below.
Notifications break your flow state!
Struggling to stay productive? Turn your phone on “Do Not Disturb”
Start slowly by setting an alarm for 30 minutes intervals
After each session, allow yourself a 5-minute break to check your phone for any critical updates or messages. Then…
Do Not Disturb
30 Minutes
Check
Repeat
Continue this cycle throughout your workday. You will soon notice a significant improvement in your efficiency and output, free from the constant interruptions of notifications.
What Other Faceless YouTubers Won't Show!
This new faceless channel was pulling 200K Views a day!
When applying for monetization, it was denied!
Sent an appeal, also denied!
Now I have to wait 30 days before potentially seeing any revenue on this channel!
Lesson learned, same mistakes won't happen again!
The Biggest Mistake Smaller Creators Make!
Not investing back into your content!
The countless times I've heard “I can save more money doing it myself” is insane!
Time is Money and Money is Time
Save yourself the hassle and instead use that time to Learn, Analyze, and Produce more content!
Motivation and Discipline are two very different things
The person that wakes up disciplined is always going to beat the person that gets random motivation spikes
Stop relying on motivation to determine your success!
Fix your mindset and start slowly by adapting new habits that will slowly transition your mind to be more disciplined everyday
At the end of the day you are the problem! You know what slows you down, and you know what you need to change in your everyday life to your best self!
