YOUTUBE, LISTEN. CREATORS NEED WARNINGS. You are not keeping YOUTUBE safe by removing channels every day like you claim. Instead, you’re destroying communities and removing the people who make the PLATFORM WATCHABLE. You say you want creators who keep viewers watching yet you can permanently remove those same creators over a mistake without giving them a chance to learn from it. If someone makes a mistake that does not AFFECT a user in any way, GIVE THEM A DAMN WARNING and a chance to fix it. Everyone on YouTube has made mistakes. Some get warnings. Some get strikes. Others get PERMANENTLY REMOVED on a first violation and are basically told to fuck off and never come back because of the circumvention policy. WHY? In my case, I understand the violation came from the 5 days when I posted a shit ton of CTA Shorts telling viewers they could follow me on Roblox for help. I genuinely had NO CLUE that doing that could violate YouTube’s rules. But I also had a completely CLEAN 11-MONTH HISTORY. NO WARNING. NO STRIKE. NO COMMUNITY GUIDELINES VIOLATIONS. Then those 5 days of CTA Shorts got me BANNED FOR LIFE over something MINOR. MY SECOND CHANNEL SHOWS EXACTLY WHY A WARNING WOULD HAVE FIXED MY MISTAKE IMMEDIATELY. If YouTube had warned me on my first channel, I would have stopped posting those CTA Shorts or removed them immediately. Instead, I was terminated right away and never got that chance. If you never give people a chance to correct their mistakes, then what’s the point of pointing creators to the Community Guidelines after they’ve already been punished? HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO LEARN IF YOU NEVER GIVE US A CHANCE TO FIX WHAT WE DID WRONG? And there’s another part of this that makes the situation even worse. I had NO IDEA my second channel was violating the circumvention policy. I had previously contacted YouTube Support and received information that led me to believe I could continue building that channel. If YouTube Support itself gives creators incorrect or incomplete information about its own policies, how are creators supposed to understand what they’re actually allowed to do? That information led me to keep building my second channel only for YouTube to eventually REMOVE THAT CHANNEL TOO. And everything I’m saying about my case, I HAVE PROOF OF. Screenshots. Messages. Emails. Everything. But for some reason, I still can’t get an actual HUMAN to look at my case. I have the evidence. I have the history. I have the explanations. I JUST NEED SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT IT. So why wasn’t there a warning? Why wasn’t there a strike? Why weren’t the CTA Shorts simply removed? Why not Advanced Features removal or even a temporary suspension? Why did it go straight to “GET OFF YOUTUBE” permanently and then result in EVERYTHING I BUILT being taken away? The event is LONG OVER. Those CTA videos are DEAD. I’m not doing that anymore. I didn’t force anyone to leave YouTube. I didn’t scam anyone. I didn’t deceive anyone. My viewers were simply being told they could follow me on Roblox for help. HOW does telling someone to follow me on Roblox make my channel UNSAFE to users? I know YouTube has the right to enforce its policies. I understand that. But if someone isn’t doing something that is SEVERELY UNSAFE for users, why are they being banned for LIFE? Creators need a chance to LEARN from their mistakes. A warning could have taught me the rule without destroying YEARS of work. Give creators a chance to understand the rules BEFORE you destroy everything they’ve built.

Google & YouTube Are Failing The Creators Who Built Them. Creators built YouTube. Creators made the videos. Creators brought the audience. Creators brought the revenue. Creators kept people coming back. Yet YouTube is becoming worse for both creators and viewers. There are ads all over the platform. YouTube is becoming unwatchable. YouTube is turning into a money grab platform. There are scams and inappropriate content all over YouTube. People report that content and it still remains on the platform. But content people actually enjoy gets removed, and creators people actually watch get banned. For example, me: I had an 11 month clean history on YouTube. My content was clean, and during those 11 months I never received a warning or a strike. THEN, FOR 5 DAYS, I made YouTube Shorts telling people to follow me on Roblox so I could help them get an in game item. I ONLY SHOWED MY ROBLOX USERNAME IN THE VIDEOS. I NEVER SHOWED THE ROBLOX APP. I NEVER DROPPED A LINK. I NEVER FORCED ANYONE TO LEAVE YOUTUBE. I NEVER DEMANDED ANYONE GO TO ROBLOX. I simply told people they could follow me on Roblox if they wanted help with the in game item. IT WAS AN OPTION. NOT A DEMAND TO LEAVE YOUTUBE. I GOT BANNED FOR LIFE BECAUSE I TOLD USERS TO FOLLOW ME ON ROBLOX. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO MAKE CONTENT ON YOUTUBE AGAIN BECAUSE OF THIS. 20 YEARS FROM NOW, I WILL STILL BE BANNED because I told users to follow me on Roblox. ALL MY CHANNELS. ALL MY CONTENT. EVERYTHING GONE INSTANTLY BECAUSE OF THIS ONE MISTAKE. A 25K CHANNEL. A 40K CHANNEL I BUILT IN 5 MONTHS. AND THE REST OF MY CHANNELS. GONE. WIPED FOREVER. I never got a warning. Never got a strike. Never got told to stop. WTF? HOW IS THIS A LIFETIME BAN? THERE IS 10X WORSE HAPPENING ON YOUTUBE THAN THAT. Creators who make the smallest mistake or MAKE NO MISTAKE AT ALL can get heavily punished or permanently terminated. Years of work can disappear instantly. NO HUMAN REVIEW. NO REAL SUPPORT. NO CHANCE TO CORRECT ANYTHING. Just automated systems making decisions while creators are left dealing with the consequences. And instead of fixing these problems, YOUTUBE KEEPS CHANGING THINGS THAT DON’T NEED CHANGING. YouTube and Google are failing the very creators who built the platform. YOU BUILT THIS PLATFORM ON CREATORS. STOP TREATING US LIKE WE’RE DISPOSABLE.

YouTube is not a safe platform for CREATORS. YouTube isn’t going to change unless we make them. We are the creators who make YouTube what it is. Without creators, YouTube is nothing. Here are 5 reasons creators need to demand better: 1. No real human reviews + terminations can destroy YEARS of work YouTube’s systems can terminate a channel, and most creators have almost no realistic way of getting a real human to properly review the case. Appeals get denied. Automated systems make decisions. Creators are left fighting to get someone to actually look at what happened. You can spend YEARS building a channel, then lose it overnight. That’s insane. 2. Creator Support can’t reliably help creators YouTube tells creators to contact Creator Support when something goes wrong. But ask an important question and you can get: “We can’t answer that.” And even when they DO give you an answer, what happens when that information turns out to be wrong? How the hell are creators supposed to protect their channels when the support system they’re told to rely on can’t even give them answers? 3. No warnings. No second chances after a mistake. Creators can make one mistake and suddenly face serious enforcement without getting a meaningful opportunity to correct it first. One mistake shouldn’t have the power to erase years of work. Creators need a real chance to understand what they did wrong, fix it, and move forward not feel like one mistake can end everything. 4. The circumvention policy can wipe out CLEAN channels too A creator can lose one channel, and YouTube can treat other channels connected to that creator as circumvention even when those channels weren’t the reason for the original termination. One mistake can turn into losing EVERYTHING you’ve built. Multiple channels. Years of work. Audiences. Communities. And when the creator believes the enforcement is wrong? There’s often no real path to undo it. 5. YouTube keeps moving the monetization goalposts YouTube has changed its monetization requirements, making the road to monetization harder for Shorts creators and newer creators. Creators are already grinding to build an audience, and the requirements keep getting harder to reach. YouTube wants creators to keep building on the platform while making creators question whether that platform is actually worth building their future on. Creators need to start building on platforms that value them. Try Rumble. Try TikTok. We all need to explore other platforms so YouTube knows creators have somewhere else to go. YouTube isn’t going to change unless we make them.
