“Actually it doesn’t say it was removed by mods it just says it’s awaiting approval so it was probably just flagged. I really don’t want to assume the worst [re: Can we just ban AI channel discussion from this sub?]”

“The same exact thing is happening to me, and the video you said says that for me too, videos ive watched many times says error 151 now, and i noticed that its tied to the account so no matter what device or browser, if im signed in it says error 151 on some videos [re: Well, it finally happened.]”

“Honestly I'm pretty irritated with this whole thing at this point. I've had my account on youtube for roughly 19 years at this point and premium for around 2-3 years. Just today I was trying to watch a video and out of nowhere was hit by the age verification request on googles part. I personally don't feel great about giving youtube any further information like an ID or the like, but, I wanted to ask if others have been recently hit by this? I'm in Canada so I saw they were rolli”

“dealing with the same thing, also from canada. restricted mode is off, my yt channel was made in 2017, and my google account's age is set to adult. [re: I am no longer allowed to watch age-restricted videos]”

“So this is common? Does it ever come back? Im to the point where I'm almost willing to venmo subs haha [re: So frustrating... any insight is appreciated!]”

“If you've got a community guidelines strike under the same reason YouTube gives you earlier for the warning, provided that: You've got a Community Guidelines warning under a reason earlier (for eg: spam and deceptive practices policy) The Community Guidelines strike was issued before the 90-day warning expiry, just after you've completed the training Then the warning won't expire, even after 2 years. It just stays on the permanent record. [re: Clarification on Youtube's Community”

“As the title says, I have a video that has no restrictions whatsoever; it can be viewed by users both over and under 18 years of age, and it's not restricted to any country or language. Basically, I made it so that everyone could access it. However, when I access my YouTube channel from an account that isn't mine, I realize that some videos simply don't appear, especially one that I've been trying to promote externally with a QR code, simply because YouTube doesn't recommend”

“Oh no. It's over. We're screwed 😱 [re: Dear youtubers, this is a PSA: if I see AI generated images on your thumbnail I am blocking you <3]”

“"You can't have a YouTube channel without also having an Instagram, TikTok, and possibly a Twitter account." Says who? And whose behind did they pull that out of? [re: I feel like marketing matters more than the actual video now]”

“Yo I got copyright striked wrongfully by an AI of a company is it safe to do a counter notification? Or they will sue me its activision my channel is gonna be deleted [re: Anyone successfully sent a counter-notification to a movie studio?]”

“I was able tp reconcile this. Thank you . [re: Someone I collaborated with just got his 100k YouTube plaque.]”

“yeah the views still count toward your 10m total, only the blocked countries get cut out of the revenue side. youtube just doesn't pay you for those specific views but they still register as regular watch time [re: My shorts got partially blocked in 5 countries.]”

“for some reason the account i use on my phone randomly got age restricted. A lot of videos are limited along with any songs labeled explicit on yt music. I am a teenager and my account has me listed as that, yet these things were not restricted before. When i check my settings it doesnt say restricted mode is on either, so i have no idea how to tell what is going on. this same thing happened with another account but eventually stopped so if anyone knows what this is i hope i can get some informa”

“Hey everyone, I think I've reached the point where I genuinely want to quit YouTube. I started my gaming channel a few weeks ago because I thought it would be something fun. I've always loved gaming, and the idea of recording my experiences, editing videos, and sharing them with people sounded amazing. And honestly, at first, it was. But somewhere along the way, I started caring way too much about the numbers. I constantly find myself opening YouTube Studio, checking my views, impression”

“Formal Complaint Regarding Extremely Limited Video Impressions and Lack of Creator Support I am formally raising a concern about the extremely limited distribution of my videos on my YouTube channel, World of Zimrah. I submitted feedback about my concerns a day ago, before publishing my latest video, and have received no response. Now I have another video with only 27 impressions after 14 hours, despite a reported 25.9% thumbnail click-through rate and an average view duration of 8 minutes and 3”

Like I mentioned in the title, I paid channel membership to watch membership only contents. However "you're offline" bug happend at the same time of the transaction. My bank app notification said it's purchased, so I just refreshed the page. It said I'm not a member. However If check google pay, It says I already paid. It has transaction ID an”

Have you fixed it big brother? I have faced this issue today and my living depends on this month's earning. [re: My channel got demonetised because a related channel is demonetised]

“it also says "due to our monetization policy for shorts, this claim does not affect your video's earnings" I'm still trying to reach 10 million to get monetizated, will this shorts views counts toward it still?

“Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice and help regarding my terminated YouTube channel. YouTube terminated my channel, and I genuinely believe this decision was a mistake. I spent countless hours creating and editing my videos, and losing my channel has been heartbreaking. I've already appealed, but YouTube rejected my appeal and told me that the decision is final. I'm asking the community if anyone has experienced a similar situation and successfully recovered their channel. Is the”

“Lost my youtube channel this morning and now I'm looking for other similar options. Despite the career, I am not very big on social media and these kinds of platforms so I don't know many. I've seen people recommend Kick as well, but I was under the impression that's just for live streaming like Twitch? Speaking of live streaming, I do enjoy doing that, is there anywhere with good traffic like tiktok? I like Twitch but people on my Twitch tend to stay on my Twitch, when the end g”

“I just lost my youtube account today despite it being fully SFW, lost the appeal as well. This is the 3rd one, every single time its right when I'm able to monetize. "Nudity" 🙄 I mark my vids not for kids but they are safe for kids thats how sfw they are. The worst thing on there is me in a bikini and its not like I'm bouncing around, I'm just standing talking. I also lost my SFW IG this week, same reason, and my not as safe one. I have one IG left and its shadow banned so”

“In June 2025, YouTube removed my channel due to a policy violation, and I still don’t fully understand why it happened. However, I decided to start fresh last week with a completely new channel, a new Wi-Fi connection, a new browser, and a completely different setup. I’m creating content that I genuinely believe is much better than what my competitors are producing, yet I’m still not getting any reach or views. I’d really appreciate it if someone could take a look at my channel, analyze what’s g”

Can watch fine on my phone, laptop and tablet, but not firestick. IDK if it's a yt glitch or a firestick glitch. Has anyone else had this issue?

“I’m stuck in a brutal support loop and looking to see if anyone has successfully navigated this specific situation. Back in July, my original account had an issue. Support Representative Angelo explicitly told me in writing under Case #12334678 that I was cleared to create a new account using a different email address as long as I followed the Terms of Use. I created the new account, followed all the rules, and everything was fine until it got hit by an automated deactivation flag linking it bac”

“My daughter,19, has a channel and goes live frequently. She has performed ID verification to show that she is indeed 19. Her lives run around 100 or so average viewers, but she keeps keeping cut mid-stream and receiving temporary live bans. She keeps getting flagged as being a minor/underage. Again, she has performed ID verification via youtube studio. I ensured she wasn't streaming music or media to remove that as a possible source. She is worried about having her channel banned, but multip”

“I had this SAME problem with my old account. Had it for YEARSSSS (about 11 years I think), used it all the damn time. Mostly used it for youtube music. And all of a sudden it's banned for "fraudulent actions". There is only thing I did around that time that might look a little weird. I split up with my ex and I used his yutube music to put every single one of my playlists on. So after we split up I downloaded every one of my songs from my playlists on that account into a playlist o”

“I recently got accepted into the YouTube partner program and created a membership with some fun custom emojis, I even had a person sign up, the problem is once they signed up and started using the emojis I noticed that the emojis are so low resolution.

“This same thing happened to my account and all my other accounts for different topics. I might be late for this but I just wanted to share. I did get the account back though. [re: Channel Terminated Due To Circumvention Policy]”

“They would just make excuses while banning every channel it happened on not taking any accountability for the fact that they enabled it. This is why you have to put your comments on hold all and only allow subscribers to comment. YouTube is actively and maliciously trying to destroy any partnered individual to rob them of their income. [re: I'd like to see YouTube regret their decision to add gifs when comment sections will be full of Hitler gifs.]”

“Yesterday I got an email saying that a 4 year old video of mine was removed under their "spam, deceptive practice and scams policy". The video was me and my cousin spreading dirt around his yard and planting grass seed. So today I looked in to it further and turns out the music I used for that video required credit links in the description. And when you click on those links, it was a TOTALLY different website than it was 4 years ago. No longer in english, no longer about music, it was”

It’s so frustrating. [re: Adsense is Making it Hard for Youtube]”

Also my questions can be confusing and hard to answer sorry for this😅 ofc it's always optional to respond, it's just that I've been unanswered for months and days [re: The Golden age of YouTube (for any niche)?]”

“Yeah I think I'll start a fresh new account, tried using an active alt of mine which I assumed would be better because it has trust score,but it didn't work, because I reposted one of my videos from the account with a few changes and received shadowban again, but that account has always been shadowbanned I don't know what I was doing anyways [re: Are my subscribers bots or not?]”

“I say that because all of a sudden any device on my network gives me the dreaded ‘sign in the confirm you’re not a bot’. I don’t use VPNs or anything. I ran into this at a motel a few weeks ago which after some research i understood it’s from the multiple tvs streaming YouTube from all the rooms making it seem like bot behavior. Now a few weeks later this seems to have hit my own internet at home. I didn’t see any noise online about similar cases with others so it seems like a me thing sadly. Ju”
