Finally have my channel back 😭
After 3 whole months of waiting and losing thousands of dollars of income, I am relieved to be back.
So much unnecessary stress and sadness. YouTube treated its creators extremely unfairly during this ban wave. I hope this is over for good.
Day #4 of posting my @teardowngame videos on X. This is the content that @TeamYouTube is calling "harmful" to minors, leading to the demonetization of my entire channel.
Teardown is just a voxel physics sandbox. There is no blood, gore, violence or minors. It's just a game about cubes (like Minecraft), and some cars.
Dozens of creators have been reinstated, but hundreds like me remain ignored. YouTube keeps admitting they make mistakes, but also keep claiming that their decision is "final", which isn't true.
The video below is my "Cars vs Hulk", which currently has 36M views, gained over the course of 3 years without any issues staying uploaded on YouTube. @YouTube is now retroactively flagging my channel as "dangerous" for videos like it.
I'm doing this because @NpcUniverse did this for 10 days before finally getting reinstated, receiving an apology from YouTube. They've been reinstating at least 5 creators per day since then, but ignoring me.
@TeamYouTube Please give me one final chance at human review to take a look at my channel!

My channel (youtube.com/@MickeysPlayhous…) was caught up in the wave of channel exclusions from YPP that began several months ago due to “Harmful content involving minors.” Then, without any changes to my channel, the reason was changed to “Misleading family content.” This raises many questions. My content is not intended for children, 98% of my viewers are over 18 years old, and when uploading videos, I always indicate “Not for children.” Proof and screenshots are attached below.
We are happy for every creator who manages to get their channel monetized again after countless attempts to get through dozens of posts and dozens of responses from bots and YouTube's AI moderation. Many channels have not been able to achieve this result, and it is painful to see some authors regain monetization while others do not, even though the content and niche are absolutely identical. Everything I have described above leads to only one conclusion: this is simply some kind of misunderstanding, a mistake.
Each of us wants only one thing: for this to be resolved as soon as possible:

WE are desperate because we know we are RIGHT.
Do not use 'VISUAL REPRESENTATION' as your excuse. Hundreds of these channels are monetized in the same niches.
WE can modify our settings. We cannot control what people watches.

More than 62+++ creators have been demonetized under the same circumstances.
Are you absolutely sure this isn’t your mistake?
We need real answers. We need real help.
I have analytics data that clearly shows my audience is adults.
The numbers are there. The evidence is there.
But it feels like all of it is being ignored.
Instead, we keep receiving template responses.
Some creators were even warned that they might lose access to email support if they continue asking for clarification.
Is that what support looks like?
We are not asking for special treatment.
We are asking for transparency.
We are asking for consistency.
We are asking for a genuine human review.

Hey
@TeamYouTube
as requested, I am sharing my case details. My channel, stringie, is part of the same demonetization issue (since January 14). The flag recently shifted from "Harmful content involving minors" to "Misleading family content". This confirms the system is confused, likely due to the animated characters from Marvel, like Ironman and Hulk. My content is gameplay for a general audience (+13), marked as "Not made for kids". I've been playing the game Teardown for 4 years, and have over 35M views on my most popular video. Hundreds of other Teardown channels exist doing the same content, but only mine was demonetized. You have reinstated a lot of gaming and animation channels. Please take a closer look at mine.
URGENT UPDATE: We won. @TeamYouTube just DM'd me confirming they reinstated my channel after seeing our posts.
They explicitly asked for the other creators I've been reposting to TAG THEM DIRECTLY right now so they can look into your cases.

1/🧵
Like many others, my channel was flagged by YouTube’s automated systems for “Harmful content involving minors.” Monetization was removed, and my case has remained unresolved since December 24.
Hey @TeamYouTube , I'm really struggling to understand a recent decision.
My long-running gaming channel, stringie (youtube.com/@stringie), (4 years, millions of views) was demonetized for "harmful content involving minors." This is without a doubt a mistake, as there are no minors involved, no harm, no sexualization - just a gaming channel playing a game loved by millions of players and youtubers.
Frustratingly, a channel copying my exact content, Wrecking Moments (youtube.com/@wreckingmoments), was demonetized with me, appealed after me, and was successfully re-monetized, while my appeal was denied.
A ton of other Teardown gaming channels doing the exact same content were not even demonetized in the first place, e.g. SoymilkPapi (youtube.com/@SoymilkPapi) and TDC (youtube.com/@TeardownDestruc…). We are all friends and we communicate through discord, so this is verified information.
I just want a fair, human review. Please help.
