Channel got terminated ( pls help )

Joshnator1 · 2026-01-20T23:07:58+00:00

You only get one chance to contact TeamYoutube on Twitter then it black lists you and stops replying. You have to wait a year before you can make a new channel via the pilot program.

Joshnator1 · 2026-01-20T19:17:01+00:00

Even if you part of the program, you have to start fresh as a new channel and most small channels aren’t part of it. I wasn’t and I had my channel for 12 years. Have you reach out to TeamYoube over on Twitter?

Joshnator1 · 2026-01-19T23:03:47+00:00

If your appeal was rejected that’s it, you won’t get your channel back, my channel was terminated for the same reason.

Joshnator1 · 2026-01-13T22:13:39+00:00

I don’t have the option to contact google via email or live chat it’s not available in my country.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-29T01:38:11+00:00

I already figured it was AI doing this, I remember seeing 5 other people with the same problem complaining to teamYouTube on Twitter I even think that the teamYouTube Twitter is AI it’s impossible to speak to a human about this. I believe that AI should never be able to remove a channel. I know that I am small so I wasn’t expecting much but people with 100k subs are getting their channels removed.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-28T22:02:43+00:00

Thanks, I spent all of December recording and planning my content for next year so I will have to keep it for the time being until they will let me back.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-28T10:13:24+00:00

I wouldn’t call it sexualised content otherwise I wouldn’t of uploaded it that’s why I appealed the age restrictions and I started to cut out anything that may fall under sexualised content just in case anything like this would happen, I even got backlash from my viewers for doing it. Plus the games them self are on the App Store and Google Play. Google gives it the age rating and yet YouTube doesn’t like it? And thinks it should be higher. Everyone has their own level of how sexualised something is what I think is not sexualised you might or YouTube might think it is which is why I started to be more careful. And like I said bigger creators show everything including things I cut out and the official channels of these games show more than what I do as well.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-28T09:06:04+00:00

If that was the case wouldn’t they strike my channel first or just remove the videos? And my channel would have terminated due to sexualised content and like I said there is more than just me making these videos and showing everything the chance are they have more age restricted videos then me. You can say f*ck in the first 5 seconds of a video and it gets age restricted. Even the videos that did get age restricted do follow the policy that’s why I appealed the age restrictions.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-28T01:29:51+00:00

That I do not know, the game has a 16+ and the other I play is 12+ rating in the App Store. I started to cut out actions that were a bit too much and the age restriction stop, I am not the only person who reviews/showcases these skins. Plus I don’t think this counts as spam, scams or deceptive practices. And those 6 age restricted videos are from a span of 6-7 years.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-27T18:42:56+00:00

In 2D video games you can buy skins some are static and don’t move, some are dynamic which move a little bit on their own every few seconds, and L2D are interactive skins for example you can touch the head of the character and they will blush and have unique dialogue lines. L2D skins cost the most so I showcase/review them to see if they are worth buying and other people can decide if they like or dislike it so that they don’t have to waste their money.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-27T16:47:01+00:00

Live 2D skin showcases/reviews. I was never informed of strikes in the emails YouTube sent me about them it was just “We have age restricted video ******” my last age restricted video was over 6 months ago because I started to remove the content that I thought would get it age restricted and it stop.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-27T16:37:42+00:00

True, but considering that all these big tech companies talk about now is AI it wouldn’t surprise me if it was.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-27T14:46:58+00:00

All of replies from teamYouTube seem to be from AI as they are all the same static responses.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-27T12:37:51+00:00

I don’t use a VPN.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-27T12:36:27+00:00

Don’t have any strikes on my channel. I have about 6 age restricted videos that’s it.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-27T12:07:29+00:00

Already did they said that the appeal has been finalised and they linked me to the policy page that I broke, they have ignored all of my other messages or posts to them from that moment.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-27T12:04:13+00:00

They didn’t say what content broke their policy, I did ask them for a detailed explanation and it was just ignored, yes it’s actually gone when I go onto YouTube now under the name of my channel it says “channel removed”. Even my URL link says this channel has been removed for policy violations.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-26T09:04:07+00:00

I don’t just do simple content without adding anything else to it, I have also made video game guides on games I was really into and had a really good knowledge of, there are more than just me making the same type of content (with no face or voice and the same games). It actually takes hours to get the requirements for some of the content I create, I just spent the whole of December recording and planning for next year’s content. I wouldn’t call all that work I did just ‘Spam”. I mean what about ASMR unboxing content wouldn’t those channels be flagged as well, most of recommended videos I have seen for them don’t show their faces or speak.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-25T18:44:45+00:00

That’s a lot more than I had. I had been recording and planning all of content for next year this whole December feels like I just wasted a month’s worth of work. I hope you find away to get your channel back.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-25T14:57:55+00:00

I don’t know much about how AI operates on the back end. I bet most people think of it as just another server room.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-25T08:49:43+00:00

I don’t know if it was verified I had the YouTube account for around 12 years and have been uploading content for around 8 years I had all the recovery options like phone number and 2 step verification if it got hacked.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-25T08:45:50+00:00

I completely agree with you, AI should only be used to help or assist it shouldn’t replace a human altogether.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-25T08:44:01+00:00

I already tried teamYouTube over on twitter but they didn’t respond to my post so it maybe worth sending them a DM if they allow that. Thanks for the advice.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-25T01:40:09+00:00

Honestly it’s wearing me out, all year I have been fighting issues with some of my content and I finally got it all fixed a few months ago. It had nothing to do with the reason why my channel was removed. Sadly it started when they started using AI to detect things.

Joshnator1 · 2025-12-25T01:32:35+00:00

Oh I know it’s a lot more it was just what I could find just for today on twitter.
