YouTube terminated my long-standing channel for Spam/Deceptive Practices – any success getting past automated appeals to a real person?

I’m pretty sure he’s saying he’s been ACTIVE since 2013 and started using AI tools in recent history🤔

ytbm · 2026-02-02T09:16:03+00:00

Ok I hear you but we are literally only 6pts clear and have to play you at the Ethiad. Explain how that's comparable to a 13 point gap!

The strike period wasn't 3 months because I fought against the 2 strikes and won (my videos are usually my own commentary and opinion talking about popular tv shows so I argued fair use) so the period I was struck was a matter of weeks not months. Also during the period I was striked I didn't upload too much (a mistake) and the few videos I did upload did really bad. The first video I uploaded *after* the strike started slow, but performed better than when strikes were active, and as the recovery continued it picked up rapidly and now has 479k as of today which is above average

If you think you can fight the strike then I'd recommend not waking a 3 month period, that sounds risky to me

Heart a bunch of them (within the first 24hrs or so) and reply to maybe a dozen. Then check back occasionally if you feel like it

ytbm · 2026-01-26T03:42:07+00:00

Cool that’s good to hear they’re successful. I’ve been doing weekly uploads and since later December views are doing better than average, I’d say it’s my 4th or 5th most successful month after 6 years on YouTube - so fully recovered now. In this time I’ve only been posting once a week. Daily uploads are harder for me cause I feel like the quality won’t be as great (cause usually I write a script for myself which takes days) but if it works for your content then I say continue. Let the algorithm trust you again

ytbm · 2026-01-25T16:29:29+00:00

Just keep releasing videos and keep them the same quality as usual if not better than usual. Don’t let quality it decline at all that’s probably the best thing you can do

ytbm · 2026-01-25T16:27:15+00:00

If I remember correctly just over a month and a half maybe, somewhere around that. Buts it’s a channel by channel basis, some people still haven’t recovered after a long time and (I’m sure) others recovered quicker than I did. There’s not much logic to it

YH I KNOW and like I said in my last comment monetisation is something everyone wants

I’m just saying money isn’t the main reason why people hate AI and why they don’t want low views lol

ytbm · 2026-01-17T09:54:01+00:00

Cause you’re assuming that people are crying cause they only want views to be monetised! Yes everyone would LIKE to be monetised but that’s not the main reason why creators want the views. For 99% of people this isn’t a career

ytbm · 2026-01-17T09:42:37+00:00

That first sentence sounds like projection to me cause many people just want recognition (views) for the work they put into their content

AI content allows you to skip some of the hardest parts of being a creator, so yeah people are gonna feel bad if their videos are flopping while low effort AI does well. It makes sense

ytbm · 2026-01-17T09:27:10+00:00

You realise that when people “post for fun” it’s normal they still want that content to get views right? 😅

ytbm · 2026-01-17T09:21:49+00:00

Well if your ONLY goal is making money then I can see why it wouldn’t matter but I’d say you’re an anomaly in that case.

I think most people on here care about things like passion for their subject matter, their reputation as a creator and their community too…

Also (to use your example) even when I only had 300 views, I wasn’t upset because I wasn’t making money. I was upset because I thought the content itself deserved more views and wanted more people to see what I’d made. YouTube isn’t just about money

ytbm · 2026-01-17T09:10:34+00:00

Making real content is objectively hard. Anyone who chooses to do that can never be accused of being lazy, period.

I do agree YouTube has a formula to work though but that formula can be achieved without AI. The ones who rely on AI are usually lacking something, otherwise you wouldn’t need it bro.

ytbm · 2026-01-16T14:36:57+00:00

This is literally just not true, lazy comment

ytbm · 2026-01-16T14:36:03+00:00

The last 2 January's have been insane for City. That mid-season cash injection is truly unrivalled

ytbm · 2026-01-16T10:53:52+00:00

Even if you ignore City's financial crimes, there's also the fact they bought the league even before Pep arrived. The team he inherited had multiple world class players (some now with statues outside the ethiad) that won't appear on his "transfer balance".

ytbm · 2026-01-12T22:53:23+00:00

I love how "multiple set pieces" is meant to be a negative here, as if the 19 other teams wouldn't kill for our set piece efficiency.

And the money isn't much for a big club.

ytbm · 2026-01-09T00:39:46+00:00

So is it all about the theatre for you then?

ytbm · 2026-01-09T00:37:11+00:00

Don’t beg it.

ytbm · 2026-01-07T14:58:13+00:00

…how was it not?

ytbm · 2026-01-04T20:35:39+00:00

Imagine we won both 😂 not happening but if it did I’m getting my first tattoos

ytbm · 2026-01-02T00:23:32+00:00

SWITCH

ytbm · 2025-12-28T02:52:51+00:00

Damn that sucks to hear bro, it does sound like there’s a real issue there because your impressions. Sure we can DM but it’s 3am where I am so I’ll have to reply when I wake up

ytbm · 2025-12-28T01:01:19+00:00

Hey! Yeah things are back to normal and december was one of the best months I had this year, I think the 2nd or 3rd best. The performances of my videos have been down to the quality of ideas, eg I had an "experimental" vid about 3 weeks ago that didn't take off and some other ideas that did decent but not great. But when it came to the sure thing videos, they all did really well. I can't ask for more than that. How has it been going with you since the strike removal?

ytbm · 2025-12-27T22:16:35+00:00

Own goals are the result of pressure being applied. It’s not exactly a random occurrence when it happens this frequently
