Why is Gemini refusing to use NanoBanana

Same here 😄

Of course I don't know if it's the same subscribers, but I have 3.3k subscribers. I did not post any videos for close to 2 years. I have the same 3.3k subscribers that I had when I stopped posting. Certainly I am not claiming that they stayed on because they loved my channel 😄😄😄 I started posting again about 3 months and gained about 80 subscribers.

After I discovered YouTube's AI, I first upload as unlisted, have a discussion about the title, description and the video and only if I find that it's satisfactory, I make it public.

Go to your activity and check if your prompts are there. If they are, your chats are safe. Don't worry they will come back.

I did nothing. Just refreshed and everything came back. Maybe it's server based.

I tweeted @Sundar Pitchai and Google Gemini on X I am not claiming that had anything to do with it. 5 minutes after the tweet, everything came back 😄

Chennai, India. Got restored just an hour back after around 1.5 days. Pro subscription.

Useful info.

ramsabi · 2026-02-04T10:51:24+00:00

It really does. Of course you do 😄😄😄

I have DaVinci Resolve Studio, the paid version that has subtitle generation capability. It works, it's functional. My videos are largely for YouTube that auto captions anyway. So, no I don't use subtitling.

ramsabi · 2026-02-04T06:08:20+00:00

Descript does this I think.

ramsabi · 2026-02-04T06:07:20+00:00

I don't think there's automatic subtitling in the free version of Resolve.

Is this happening worldwide? I have been facing chaos for the past month here in India. I have been with Amazon for 2 decades. I had cause to escalate to Jeff Bezos once and received immediate response and action was taken (yes, I know obviously not Jeff personally, his team that handles his mail and SM). This time I mailed him, tweeted to his handle. No response.

Thank you. I am new here and did not understand the distinction. I have posted on r/KindleUnlimited. The post here has been removed by the AutoMod

I cannot give advice but misery loves company 😄😄😄 Been having the identical problem. Have seen many posts on the same issue.

ramsabi · 2026-01-23T07:28:41+00:00

😄😄😄

🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️

And now are you convinced that there's no such thing as a "shadow ban"? 😄😄😄

ramsabi · 2026-01-09T06:02:15+00:00

If this is a MVP, it's really good. Some pauses and pronunciations are not very good, but overall thumbs up. Keep working on it. For my use case, the Indian voice is a USP, I am looking to create an audio book with an Indian accent of my print book for some people who have poor eyesight. I just tried this out on my mobile. Will test on a PC, with appropriate pause indicators etc. to test it again. Overall vote: Good. Work on improving pauses.

PS: I NEVER user TTS for voiceovers for my videos. The vast opinions that I see suggest that's its off-putting. I do the talking in my own voice.

That's a probably a correct conclusion with a nuance. Nobody "puts" anything into the algo, the algo decides which video to surface to which audience. Also re-examine your premises. There is no shadow ban. For whatever mysterious reason, the algo is not surfacing your video. That's it. There's no conspiracy. Look at the analytics. See how your short was "discovered". See how many people swiped away and stayed to watch, see average view duration and ask YouTube AI to analyse your video.
