Years of work lost

​

Hi guys im new here, and i hope someone can help me if is possible i need advice recovering my YouTube channel after termination

I'm looking for advice from anyone who has successfully recovered a terminated YouTube channel.

My channel (LeonardoTV) has been active since 2015 and it's not just a hobby—it has been my full-time job for years.

It was recently terminated (2two days ago) due to alleged third-party counterfeit complaints. My content was created for documentary, informational and entertainment purposes only. I never sold counterfeit products, never shared purchase links, and always included disclaimers stating that I do not support counterfeit goods and encouraging viewers to buy authentic products.

Basically in my video i rewiew product from china and show it.

Before making this type of content, I even contacted YouTube Support to ask about the format because I wanted to make sure I was acting in good faith. I still have the transcript of that conversation.

I have already submitted an appeal and contacted YouTube Support. They told me my case is currently under review by a specialized team.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation and managed to get their channel back? Is there anything else I can do to request a proper human review or provide additional context? (I have read twitter is better for contact youtube but you need good amount of like for have yt attention)

Any advice or shared experience would mean a lot.

Thank you.

Hello! Can someone help me?

My channel was immediately suspended and when I checked the videos flagged, there’s no copyrighted images or videos inside. I am doing recaps and mostly 30minutes per season recap. I admit that some script looks similar from the anime (because that was the general and public known storyline) I just want to know if how long will it take for the claimant to reply in my request to retract email? 1 out of 4 vids was already retracted then I was surprised it got strike again. If there’s no way to reactivate my channel, is there a way to get my other videos? From 2013 memories :( Hoping someone could help me. Thank you.

Anyone else realized there’s nothing to watch on YouTube anymore? It’s just the algorithm recycling the same 10 videos 😭

YouTube Ads - Brilliant innovation

Hello,

I’m one of those people who haven’t used an ad blocker on YouTube so far.

Usually, the video would always pause when an ad was played. You could either click through it or not.
RECENTLY: Some mastermind genius came up with the idea that—at least in full-screen mode?—the ad should be displayed to the right of the video; the video shrinks, and the audio is muted while the ad runs. THE VIDEO KEEPS PLAYING THE WHOLE TIME. That means I miss part of the video and have to rewind?

Can someone explain this to me?

Regards

Can we boycott youtube ads like these somehow?

So, as my degenerate self does on youtube, i was searching for long form content to watch, however I was troubled by a clearly oversexualized ad geared towards the younger demographic and hopefully we can get this to be boycotted somehow.

TLDR
Dumb oversexualized youtube ad

I feel like YouTube shorts has gotten exponentially worse

I’ve been using shorts since it came out and it’s had its ups and downs but holy. They got rid of the dislike button and basically turned the app into instagram accept they didn’t think to update the algorithm so now it’s just not at all what you want to see and it’s just AI garbage over and over again constantly. I absolutely hate TikTok but I’m going to be honest this shit has me wanting to switch

RETURN DISLIKE BUTTON AND LIKE BUTTON

Youtube has made a constant change by replacing Likes in shorts with Hearts. And removing the dislike button completely. Any ideas for massive backflashes? It seems like all the bad replies on @ TeamYoutube and the official post ain't enough. We'll need some sort of hashtag for it or smth

community polls and YouTube shorts flooding fyp

(Posting here cause my post got immediately auto removed from /youtube) I’m desperately searching for a way to either completely remove or severely reduce how much of this garbage content YouTube is pushing on me. For every 1 video YouTube shows me it’s showing me at least 3 polls and 2 separate sections of like 3-4 shorts. I’m getting almost no actual YouTube videos on my fyp and it’s always the same like 4-5 videos no matter how much I refresh my page to try and get it to load new videos. I’ve used the 3 dot thing to tell YouTube I’m not interested and to show me less and I swear every time I do they show me more as a fuck you. Is there anything I can do or has YouTube finally died? I don’t want to loose my 14 year old account but if this is what it’s like now with no way to improve I can’t see myself still using it.

Side-by-side split screen ads since when?

I’m not sure if this counts as an abusive ad, but I feel abused. Since when do they do this shit? I put on the TV when I leave for the day so my dog can watch nature shows, and animals and squirrels coming to a bowl of nuts or whatever. And all of a sudden from the living room, I hear some woman talking and it scared me because who the fuck is in my house.

So I go out, and I see this TV split screen showing an ad and I’m wondering where the nature sounds coming from then and I realize they have the fucking ad taking up half my TV. Wtf

Why does it seem like YouTube’s search functionality intentionally makes it more difficult to find older videos?

Even the sort by time filter is limited to the past year

F*** the algorithm.

I cleared my watch history, and every single video of her from every single one of my playlists, and still the algorithm pushes her to me. I'm alterted every time that b\*\*\*\* f\*\*\*ing farts, no matter how many times I tell the algorithm I'm not interested. The algorithm is determined to keep showing me people I despise and I'm sick of it.

Help. How do I block channel posts videos of toxic posts of disfigured animals I don’t want to see in my feed to scam money? Only report feature for posts. Can’t find it inside the channel.

Help. How do I block channel posts toxic posts of disfigured animals I don’t want to see in my feed to scam money? Some videos have “not interested“ but I can’t find it here when it comes to posts.

There’s a scam artist who posts horrible posts of cats/anime in order to steal money with their paypal link. I reported them, but I want to block the channel from my feed. All I see is the report button. I search the channel and can’t find the block or see the “not interested” button. the more I go to the channel to search, the more it pops up in my feed and makes it worse due to the algorithm. It’s completely ruining the experience. Tried switching to desktop mode in Safari.
