PLEASE REPOST MY STORY
It's been 275 days since my channel was demonetized, and I am fighting for my life, my family, and my team.
I am the founder of "Teddy Chase," a studio that combines high-end 3D CGI with live-action filmmaking. I didn't build this to spam or automate; I built it with a dedicated team of 15 people. Every episode is the result of 24 hours of non-stop work—from scripts to acting, to manual frame-by-frame rendering.
@TeamYouTube demonetized my channel for "Inauthentic Content." My appeals were rejected by a machine that didn't even look at my work. I have provided a private BTS video showing my exact production process, our studio, and our workflow, but to this day, that video still has 0 VIEWS.
Nobody watched my evidence. Nobody looked at my edit timelines. An automated system made a decision about my livelihood and nobody questioned it.
I’ve done everything I could to comply—I even deleted 128 videos, leaving only 22 original masterpieces.
@TeamYouTube confirmed they would perform a "manual review," but the replies I get are just generic, soulless templates.
I haven't slept properly in months. My family depends on me. I have three children, and my wife just gave birth to our third baby 10 days ago. This channel is our only livelihood. To keep this studio alive during these 275 days of demonetization, I have already had to lay off 40 talented people. I am currently selling my personal assets just to pay my remaining 15 staff members and keep them employed. If this isn't resolved, I will be forced to sell my house and move my newborn and my family out.
I’m not asking for sympathy. I’m asking for one thing: a real human to open my channel, watch my BTS evidence, and look at the actual work my 15-person crew has produced.
@TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @nealmohan @reneritchie you confirmed this review yourselves. Please finish it. Give me a human response, not another bot template.
To every creator who believes in the value of manual craftsmanship and fair treatment for independent studios, please repost this. I am fighting for the livelihoods of 15 families, and your voice could be the difference between us surviving or losing everything.
If you believe creators deserve a fair, human review, please repost this.
