IF YOU RUN AI CHANNELS: Go to YouTube Studio > Settings > Community > Blocked Words.
Consider adding terms commonly used in spammy or accusatory comments, such as:
AI slop, misinformation, reported, report, low quality, original creator, original channel, stolen content, fake, etc.
This can help keep repetitive accusations and spam out of your comment section and make moderation much easier.
Just don’t confuse cleaner comments with a higher YouTube “trust score.” There’s no confirmed evidence that blocking these words directly boosts a channel-level trust score.

Most common reasons for failing in order:
1) Never starting
2) Quitting too soon
3) Not doing enough volume
4) Not doing it consistently enough
5) Doing too many different things
6) Not shooting big enough

Happened to me as well.
I was running “bloater ai”.
Hit +$100K/mo.
Apple banned me and refused to pay out remaining funds: ~$50K+
No response. No explanation. Nothing.
Lost the money Apple owed me and I lost any money I could get from exiting the app.
Apple sucks.
But I’m back at +$100K/mo.
Never give up, it’s part of the game.
imagine having a $100k/mo mobile app and you wake up and it’s gone
you get a message saying “you’ve been permanently suspended for ____, you have 30 days to respond”
you respond, but after doing some research online, you realise it can take over a month for apple to respond
you also see that “while your apps are suspended, your customers will automatically churn when they reach their renewal date”
you put the pieces together and realise that even if you get the apps back after a month, they won’t be worth anything anyway, because most of your customers are on weekly plans, and will be automatically churned
all this because of a tweet, and an overly predatory nature of apple to make an example out of its public devs
this is why i have left mobile apps and have no intention on coming back - a business that can vanish over night is not a real business
sorry this happened to you @maubaron @ErnestoSOFTWARE - i hope you get it back soon
people are not retweeting this enough so i guess people want to keep suffering in silence.
we are in this shit together so RE-TWEET
🚨🚨EVERY YOUTUBER MUST READ THIS.
Google just quietly told creators what they think of us.
The guy on the left is Danny Sullivan, he was the liaison of Google Search.
The guy on the right is Rene Ritchie, the current "liaison" of YouTube.
Sullivan did 7 years and creators actually loved him. He answered individual complaints on X. He said publicly when Google got something wrong.
He visibly affected search policy discussions. An actual human being accountable in public.
August 2025 he walked away from the post. And Google didn't replace him with a person. They replaced him with a corporate handle and told everyone to follow the brand account instead.
That's the direction: human accountability → a brand account → AI.
Now compare that to what we got right now.
Rene Ritchie has had the seat 4 years. Name one policy he has ever publicly pushed back on. Name one comment he replied to. In fact most people dont even know who he is.
He ships weekly update videos.
Rene Ritchie is the same as the previous liaison Matt Koval before him. Remember who delivered the dislike button removal video? Same thing, update videos.
He looked so uncomfortable doing it that YouTube's own co-founder Jawed Karim compared the announcement to a POW hostage tape, and put it in the description of the first video ever uploaded to YouTube.
So it's not one guy failing. That's the job.
The YouTube "liaison" seat was never built to fight for you. It was built to explain decisions after they're already made. No appeals power. No enforcement power. No escalation path when you get falsely demonetized.
We don't have an advocate. We have a press secretary.
And Google is phasing out even that.
Danny Sullivan proved this job can be done right. Same company. Same title. One guy spent 7 years actually answering people and pushing back in public, and the other ships update videos.
That's the bar.
TD;DR: we need the previous google search liaison (Danny Sullivan) to replace the current one.
please retweet and comment if you want things to change.
otherwise keep suffering in silence.

If u want to succeed at youtube automation u have to do the opposite of what chess grandmasters do!
don't think 6 moves ahead.
think one move a head only.
that guy is as important as the previous guy from 3 years ago who use to make video updates.
i'll say it again: WE DO NOT HAVE A YOUTUBE LIAISON AND WE SURE AS SHIT NEED ONE THESE DAYS
so if anyone the youtube automation gurus here wants to volunteer and become a "liaison" then this is your chance (i hear they pay really well for that seat).
THIS GUY NEEDS TO GO.
Rene Ritchie is the (YouTube liaison).
the person whose ACTUAL job is to be the bridge between creators and the platform.
He’s supposed to push back, show up, and fight for us when things go wrong.
But that’s not what’s happening.
Creators keep getting falsely demonetized overnight.
Appeals vanish into silence.
Yes YouTube PAYS HIM to do his job and be present. yes they pay him approx ($160k–$220k)
he's supposed to reply to comments (in some cases) when creators scream for help here to the youtube team.
but this guy over here is no NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!.
so as far as i'm concerned, we don't have a "liaison".
Let me be clear. this is not personal attack, this is HIS JOB and we are holding him to that.
and if he doesn't do the job that he is GETTING PAYED to do.
Then people here on X can either:
1. continue to suffer in silence with the nonsensical "spam", "Deceptive practices", "circumvention" and all of that meaningless junk.
2. or let this guy go i'm sure someone else can do his job MUCH MUCH better.
solution? we need clear rules and clear reasons for termination/demonetization etc.
we also need TRANSPARENCY.
so that means no shadow-banning and limiting reach for videos (that are not obviously harmful) the the ones that do get shadow banned for suspicion of being harmful they must be reviewed by human to double check AND THEN if true then take action accordingly but if not true then the shadow ban should be lifted.
now its your turn to retweet.

If your faceless YouTube channel isn't monetized in 30 days:
Kill the channel and start a new one
Creators will pour 3-4 months into a channel that showed no signs of life in the first 30 days. They believe consistency is the answer. Some guru told them "give it time."
But staying consistent on a dead channel just means you waste more time on it.
When a channel doesn't monetize in 30 days, one of two things is true:
Either the trust score is low (which means the algorithm never started testing the channel in the first place), or the niche-audience match is wrong (which means the algorithm tested the content and the viewer response was too weak to justify further push).
Neither one gets fixed by uploading more.
More videos won't repair a broken trust score, and they won't change a verdict the algorithm already made on your niche.
The time you spend nursing a failing channel launches and validates 3 new ones. One of those 3 will work if the niche is validated and the trust score is clean.
One of my Elevate members went through this cycle. His Sellup News channel ground for months at $2,000 best month. Switched to AI stories, first channel monetized within one month.
Today: 7-8 channels at $15-20k/mo.
He has fewer channels yet makes 3-4x more money.
The emotional attachment to a channel is the trap. Channels are assets. They're interchangeable. The system works on any channel that clears those same two bars.
Kill the dead channels fast, launch the next ones faster, and you get to profit sooner.
The full channel launch system with trust score diagnostics and the Hydra Method is inside Elevate at elevate(.uno). DM me if you want an honest opinion on whether to kill or keep your channel

Cracking the Faceless YouTube Algorithm comes down to having a good channel, not good videos.
I spent $4k+ and killed 14 channels before I understood this…
The algorithm evaluates your channel before it ever evaluates your video. If the channel fails the trust check, the best script on earth gets zero impressions. No amount of thumbnail optimization fixes a trust score problem.
Here's how to check yours in 5 minutes:
Upload a boring 3 minute video of the floor. Title it something nobody would search. "A Quiet Morning." Don't promote it. Don't share the link.
Wait 72 hours.
300+ impressions from browse or suggested? The channel has trust. You're cleared to produce real content.
500+? Strong trust.
1,000+? Blessed account. Protect it.
Under 250? The channel was dead before you uploaded. Move on. Test a new one.
I run this on batches of 10 channels at a time now. Keep the 2-3 strongest. Discard the rest. Sounds wasteful. The alternative is 20 produced videos into a channel YouTube was never going to push.
The next thing killing channels is invisible.
If you're running an anti-detect browser and your proxy IP has a high fraud score from whoever used it before you, YouTube silently tanks your trust. No notification. No warning. Your views die and you spend 3 weeks blaming your thumbnails.
Takes 30 seconds to check. Go to browserleaks from inside the anti-detect profile. If the fraud score is high, swap the IP before uploading anything.
Third silent killer: your browser fingerprint.
Apple Silicon processor paired with an Nvidia GPU renderer in the same profile? That hardware combination doesn't exist on any real computer. YouTube's fraud detection flags the inconsistency.
I lost a channel to this. Validated niche. Good scripts. Solid thumbnails. Zero views for 3 weeks straight. Created a new channel on the same proxy with a corrected fingerprint and the impression test came back at 800+.
Identical content. The fingerprint was the only thing I changed.
Fourth one: upload cadence. 5 videos in 72 hours on a new channel triggers the same spam flags bot farms trigger. The trust score damage doesn't recover.
One video every 48-72 hours for the first 2 weeks. Patience here saves months of trying to revive a channel the algorithm already blacklisted.
Every single one of these problems is invisible. YouTube doesn't send you an email saying "your proxy is flagged" or "your fingerprint looks synthetic." You upload into the void and wonder why nothing works.
90% of zero-view situations are infrastructure failures dressed up as content problems imo.
I walk through the full trust score system, proxy setup, anti-detect configuration, and the Hydra Method inside our paid community Elevate btw
It also comes with Free Eleven Labs, 1:1 coaching, and a course with everything that I know
