Up to a few months ago I was a small youtube creator with about 400 subscribers. For me that was a big achievement. one night when I was laying in bed, I for some reason could not sleep, so I do what probably every one with a phone or computer do. scroll youtube. so I open the app and for some reason it does not load and I see a message that shows a message that the channel was removed. I check my email and I see an email with the information on how to appeal the removal. So I instantly fill it out and submit it. I end up finally falling asleep. The next day I checked my email and I received a denied message.
I try to reach out in any way to get help getting my channel back. online said to use X / Former twitter and tag Teamyoutubbe. So I do that and I get nothing back. finally after a day or two I send another message and they said they will get back to be. To vent my anger I take to tiktok and start to count days my channel is down. Well fast forward a month I get nothing back. I send a message again and they finally replied and said they will get back to me. fast forward another month. I send a message and they said the same thing. we will let you know if there is an update. Faceward another month I do the same thing with the same response from them. They finally responded and said the channel removal stands. so its the big F U from youtube.
I basically created my channel back in 2014. in the beginning there were videos of me playing games then me mounting servers in a rack then to tech shows like CES and anime shows. After that is became vrchat videos. I am a part of a group in vrchat called VRTravelers. and I recorded all our events. There is so much lore in that group but now its all gone.
Youtube’s reasoning is my content was Scam and deceptive practices. From a small creators view, how is a vr game scam a deceptive? I am not trying take users away from the platform, in fact I would rather encourage more people to create more channels.
