Hi, @TeamYouTube. My gaming channel was removed on April 8. Support has been reviewing my case for more than 2 months, but I still haven’t received any decision. Should I continue waiting for a response, or is it time to give up on YouTube? I would appreciate any information.

Hello, @TeamYouTube. Can a deleted channel be restored after 90 days? I recently contacted YouTube Support to ask about the appeal process after my channel was removed for a second time. To my surprise, I was told that I would be able to apply for channel restoration 90 days after the removal. Could you please confirm whether this information is correct? (Case ID is 9-6125000040744)

Hello, @TeamYouTube My only gaming channel was removed on April 8, and I still haven’t received any resolution regarding my case. The reason given was “spam, fraud, and deception policies,” even though my channel did not violate any of those policies. My content consists of reviews and comparisons of mods for a popular music game. What makes the situation even stranger is that after my first contacts with support, the channel was actually restored. However, just 5 days later, YouTube’s AI system removed it again for the exact same reason. Support has still been unable to help resolve this issue, despite the fact that it has been almost 2 months since my first contact. How is that even possible? I kindly ask you to look into this situation. Thank you for at least not ignoring my requests.

Hello, @TeamYouTube. My gaming channel was removed on April 8. Support told me my case is being reviewed, but almost 2 months have passed and the channel is still deleted. I still haven’t received any decision or update.

Hello @TeamYouTube. UPDATE: My gaming channel was removed almost 2 months ago, and now I’m being told it won’t be restored? I waited almost 2 months for my channel review. During all this time, I was told that my case was being reviewed. But during that same period, my channel was actually RESTORED, stayed active FOR 5 DAYS, and then got REMOVED again. Now I’m receiving a response about "Spam, deceptive practices & scams" even though my channel does not contain spam, misleading content, scams, artificial engagement, external redirects, or mass reuploads. My videos are gameplay recordings and mod reviews for the popular music game. And I have a question: if I hadn’t made my previous post, would I have received any response at all?

Hello, @TeamYouTube. It will soon be 2 months since my gaming channel was removed. It was removed on April 8 for “spam, fraud, and deception policies.” During this time, the channel was restored for exactly 5 days before being removed again for the same reason. As of now, it still remains deleted. Since April 8, I still haven’t received any resolution regarding this mistake. So far, I’ve only seen template responses in DMs, although I truly hope this is simply how the review process works in situations like this. Thank you for at least not ignoring my requests and for continuing to look into my case. I still hope that my channel will eventually be restored. URL: youtube.com/channel/UCAw-Egl…

Hello, @TeamYouTube My gaming channel has still remained deleted since April 8. So far, I’ve only received template responses, but I still hope that you are genuinely looking into this issue and that my channel will be restored. Thank you for at least not ignoring my requests.

Hello, @TeamYouTube. At this point, the conversation with support unfortunately feels more and more like template responses. Honestly, I no longer understand what is taking so long to review in my case, but I truly hope it will be worth it. Still, thank you for at least not ignoring my requests. My gaming channel was removed on April 8 for “spam, fraud, and deception policies.” During this time, it was restored for exactly 5 days before being removed again. As of now, the channel still remains deleted. I still want to believe that you are genuinely looking into this issue and that my case will receive a proper review. I also see that many creators are eventually able to restore monetization on their channels, which is genuinely good to see. I hope I’ll be fortunate enough at least to have my channel restored, considering it did not violate any of the listed policies. URL: youtube.com/channel/UCAw-Egl…

Hello, @TeamYouTube. My gaming channel has been deleted for a month now. Exactly one month ago, on April 8, my gaming channel was removed for "spam, fraud, and deception policies" During this time, the channel was restored for exactly 5 days before being removed again for the same reason. Support contacted me, however I still haven’t received any actual result regarding my case. Only template responses saying that the matter is being reviewed. Meanwhile, my channel has remained deleted this entire time. Could you please let me know how much longer the review of my situation may take? I would really appreciate any information.

Hi, @TeamYouTube. It has been exactly one month since my gaming channel was removed on April 8. I contacted support on April 9, but still haven’t received any actual update regarding my case. The channel remains deleted. Are there any updates?

A 760k Roblox animation channel was deleted by @TeamYouTube Reason: “spam, fraud, and deception policies". Which is just insane. "Bloomation" created original Roblox animations. All animations, scripting, and editing were done manually by the creator. No reuploads. No spam. No scams. Still: the channel was removed. It’s been almost a month. The appeal was rejected, and support responses didn’t provide any clear explanation. How can original animation be treated as spam or fraud? And this isn’t an isolated case. More and more creators are facing similar removals, often linked to automated AI decisions. I ask for your maximum support. @TeamYouTube , please take a closer look at this.

Thank you @TeamYouTube for your response and for not ignoring my requests. However, my channel has remained deleted for almost a month since April 8. I hope this situation will be resolved soon.

Hello @TeamYouTube, my channel was removed on April 8. It has now been 20 days since I first reached out to support, and I haven’t received a single response with any information about my case. I would really appreciate any update. I am still waiting for your response.

Hello @TeamYouTube, I would like to share an update regarding my case. After my channel was removed again (just 5 days after being restored), my appeal for reinstatement was also rejected. The reason given is “spam, fraud, and deception policies,” however this does not reflect the reality of my content, which is original and not related to spam, fraud, or deceptive practices. I’m not sure how this is possible, considering the channel had already been reviewed and restored, even if only for 5 days. Could you please clarify how this situation can occur? (screenshots below are 12 days apart). I would really appreciate any explanation or additional information. URL: youtube.com/channel/UCAw-Egl…

Hello @TeamYouTube, my channel was removed on April 8. I reached out on April 9, and thank you for looking into my case. However, I haven’t received any updates since. Could you please share an estimated timeframe? URL: youtube.com/channel/UCm1hjav…

Hi @TeamYouTube, my gaming channel was removed again after being restored. Channel history: For the entire 2 years before this situation, I was creating and consistently uploading videos every day March 4 - demonetization April 8 - channel removed (reason: spam, fraud, and deception policies) April 15 - channel restored April 20 - removed again for the same reason My channel focused on gameplay content. I manually created mods in Scratch, made character animations in Adobe Animate, recorded gameplay using OBS, edited videos in CapCut, and designed thumbnails in Adobe Photoshop. I want to emphasize that I did not engage in spam, fraud, or deceptive practices. I believe this may be a mistake. URL: youtube.com/channel/UCAw-Egl…

Hello @TeamYouTube, I would like to kindly ask about the timeline for my case. I have already provided all the necessary information, but my channel has been blocked since April 8. Could you please let me know when I might expect a decision? I would really appreciate any update.

YouTube can DELETE your channel even after restoring it? @TeamYouTube Running a fully original channel and following all YouTube rules? Be ready to lose monetization first. And then your entire channel. Think support will help solve your problem? Sometimes, if you’re lucky. But even after restoration, your channel can be deleted again. I'm seeing more and more cases like this. Right now, the platform feels chaotic. I keep seeing more and more posts about demonetization and mass channel removals. To understand the scale of the problem, just look at the comments under YouTube’s posts on X. They’re filled with people reporting the same issue. This is the new reality of YouTube. Great job, @nealmohan! @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTube Are you actually going to do something about this?

YouTube deleted my 270k gaming channel AGAIN AFTER RESTORING IT! @TeamYouTube Here is what happened: March 4. My channel was demonetized for “Harmful content involving minors.” My appeal was rejected. About a month later, the reason suddenly changed to “Misleading family content.” Support could not explain how or why this happened. April 8. My channel was permanently removed for “spam, fraud, and deception policies.” My appeal was rejected and the decision was said to be final. I want to be clear: I did not engage in spam, fraud, or deceptive practices. My channel was focused on animation and gaming content based on a popular music game. I created original animations, character content, Scratch mods, and gameplay videos. According to YouTube’s policies, violations include misleading users, spam, scams, or manipulation. None of this applies to my content. I truly believe this is a mistake. April 15. After contacting support, my channel was restored. April 20. My channel was removed AGAIN for the same reason. Honestly, I don’t understand how this is possible. Why restore a channel and then delete it again? What is happening to the platform? I respectfully ask @TeamYouTube to manually review my channel and this situation. URL: youtube.com/channel/UCAw-Egl…

My 270k channel has been restored after removal. Good news: the channel was restored after an incorrect removal for “spam, fraud, and deception policies.” Thank you @TeamYouTube for taking the time to review my case. However, the channels of my colleagues have still been deleted for over a week: @BoomLab172561 @CCountryz18217 @stategirlsyou @SOKALUPEC @LevelLabs2gvb @spectrlabs1011 Also, monetization on my channel has not yet been restored. I hope these issues will also be addressed.
