Meanwhile, in ren'py...
Furry visual novels need to stop using ren'py and actually experiment with the UI and presentation of their VNs I'm so for real. I'm sick and tired of seeing the same goddamn layout for the 4000th time

1st of all, Gemini does NOT know how Google is organized. Asking questions about Google policy is going to get you wrong answers. 2ndly, Google is generally good at separating product suspensions from account-wide suspension. Gmail≠ youtube≠google drive, etc BUT 1/2
I don't think people understand just how risky it is to try and use their Google Gemini subscriptions outside of Google's official surfaces. You can get your ENTIRE GOOGLE ACCOUNT BANNED. OpenAI or Anthropic ban? Annoying but whatever Google account ban? Legit life ruining.

*Google One* is a Google product. It is conceivable that if you're deemed to misuse features relating to Google One (and Premium $$$ Gemini features would count), then that could affect everything else you're paying for with Google One (e.g. extra drive storage) 2/2

OK, I should have realized that most of the posts on X complaining about inauthentic content demonetizations are not serious. It's just clout chasing within communities of other inauthentic content producers. but alas...
Replying to @realdata3d1
you people are not serious. your template is this: 1. download some set of stats. Like tallest person by x, or richest person by y 2. put them in a list 3. do a panning animation that goes through the listicle 4. redo "tallest [a] by [b]" "richest [c] by [d]"

Literally just reading Reddit posts and their comments.
Hello @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators @nealmohan @UpdatesFromYT, I am trying my hardest to get a real person to review my channel, ScalingStories, and watch my appeal/behind-the-scenes video with the full context of how my content is made. My channel was demonetized for “inauthentic content,” but I genuinely believe that label does not reflect my work. I understand why YouTube has policies against mass-produced, repetitive, automated, or minimally transformed content. I respect those rules, and I would never want to build my channel in a way that goes against them. But my videos are not automated, low-effort, or mass-produced. They are voiced by me, edited by me, and built around my own commentary, reactions, and personal perspective. I record my own gameplay/background footage, manually edit in DaVinci Resolve, and use custom avatars to represent myself while speaking to my viewers. I do not simply read stories and upload them. I add my thoughts throughout the video, explain my perspective, react to the choices being made, and try to make the content entertaining, thoughtful, and useful for my audience. My viewers directly respond to my commentary in the comments, which shows they are engaging with my personal contribution, not just the original story. I also made a behind-the-scenes video showing my process because I wanted to demonstrate that this is real, manual work. I am a genuine creator who cares deeply about the community I have built, and even after being demonetized, I have continued making videos because I do not want to let my viewers down. I am not asking for special treatment. I am just asking for a fair manual review from someone who can look at my actual content, watch my appeal video, and determine whether my channel truly fits the “inauthentic content” policy. Please help me get ScalingStories reviewed by a real person.

...this you?
I've now been demonetized for 32 days, and no human has ever reviewed my channel or appeal. It's not just depressing to know that all I get are template responses from bots, but also terrifying to think an Ai has the power to completely upend a person's livelihood. My content is created by me, using my own voiceover, visuals, edits, scripts and storylines. NO ai is used in my videos. Furthermore, my appeal video was never viewed by anyone, yet it was rejected because it "was not representative of my channel". I showed everything, my entire workflow, the point of the videos. @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators I once again sincerely request a manual human review of my channel. I'm 100% sure any misunderstanding will be resolved once that happens.

In My niche why I only got hit by inauthentic suspension many are still safe and posting only raw shorts and still getting millions of views. But My channel was mistakenly caught by auto hit.I shared all of my proofs like appeal video, timeline SS. @TeamYouTube please help me.

i feel like what's happening in this case specifically is that YouTube "wanted" to get at the channels that are just audio narrations of reddit horror stories or 4chan greentexts, and then they wrote a rule that would also penalize vocal dubs of fan comics. Huge oof.
So YouTube have told me that my videos are “Mass Produced”. These videos: • Take at least 1-2 weeks (sometimes months) to release • Take artists weeks/months to draw • Take around 9 hours per 1 minutes of footage edited • Have varied voice actors in which take great passion in their work • take weeks to organised I worked so hard on all of these videos and so did everyone else who poured their talents and passions into the content and they sit there and bare face lie to you. What’s even the point in me uploading these things anymore when the platform itself is saying that the effort is meaningless…

I am not saying YouTube is consistent in enforcement. i'm not saying their inauthentic content policy is well described. I also think the communications back to YouTubers is hot garbage. But...like, if it's vibes based enforcement, it's easy to see how the vibes got this sour.

p.s., this is also why asking for human review doesn't work. Because the humans have to follow a standard operating procedure, adhere to SLAs. These probaby mandate the use of templates for "eFfIcIeNcY". but even if they could speak freely...the policy doesn't help here
