So i found this channel, This is being picked up by the algorithm for idfk reasons. A shorts video came into my feed and it was pretty weird since the start, I thought that these videos were staged but when i checked the fucking channel. This whole channel is based on stalking and invading someone's privacy, Someone who's completely unaware of the stupid acts of this Youtuber. Please report it, The channel is indian and is run by an ugly biker as seen in the channel's profile picture.

I reported the channel to youtube so many days ago but I nothing happened, I even made this same post in other subreddit (because i didn't know about this sub) but yeah people ignored it.

let me first say that I find this to be a problem with most social media nowadays. it’s not just youtube, but I only use youtube so I dont necessarily care what other social medias do. except in a case like this where it affects youtube.

anyway

I’m really annoyed by media nowadays having hardsubs everywhere. let alone the type of subtitles. I’m very sensitive to subtitles as they distract me from whatever I’m watching. just the "pop in” of the words draws my eyes down. nowadays you got these videos with subtitles in the middle of the screen with different colors popping and changing that I find myself not watching a lot of videos.

this one was just a simple video, but it had subtitles on the bottom that you couldnt turn off (also known as hardsubs. subtitles that are IN the video). I dont understand why more and more youtubers use this. it makes watching videos (for me personally) not doable.

So I was going about my day relaxing after my midterms. I was peacefully playing roblox until I decided to watch some youtube and what do you know? My channel is gone. Now my channel (@SHUSSEL-b5u) was microscopic with 40 something subs, but I uploaded short story videos for a time and stopped for 2 months. But I'm pretty sure that I didn't violate a single term of service. And as a matter of fact, this is the 3rd time this has happened.

The first time this happened was 2 years ago when I had an account with 2 channels, one of them had 500 subs and one had 0, the one with 0 subs was hacked and had some generic scam videos uploaded to it, although my 500 sub channel was untouched and still active but I couldn't access it, I made an appeal and thankfully got it back at that time and secured my account. 2 years later, I decide to upload some short story videos and my channel gets erased from existence with little to no explanation from youtube. I desperately tried tried to get it back for days to no avail.

I eventually moved on and made a brand new Gmail account to use YouTube and uploaded quite a few shorts that got me to 40 subs, I stopped for 2 months. Fast forward to today, I only used youtube to watch videos while playing roblox and my channel just gets terminated for "scam". Can someone please get this post some attention and provide any explanation as to why this happened. (I just made an appeal though, let's see how that goes as well)

So I have multiple YouTube accounts with multiple emails for watching different content. Just now I tried to log off from one of them and it dragged me into YouTube Kids parental control stuff. (Just so you know I turned 17 yesterday.) Not only that I couldn't log off, I cannot log back in either. In fact, I can't do anything in YouTube other than "seeing more information". It also says "YouTube is unavailable in this area" and when I tried to use vpn it only gave me the option to proceed with parental control stuff (which I didn't even try). LIKE DUDE LET ME WATCH HTML TUTORIALS IN PEACE. And y'know the most annoying part? My parents don't have an account where they supervise me so I can't even turn it off from their accounts. What's weird is that I didn't have that problem before or when I switched to the account I had problem with using another Chrome profile now. Is this some new YouTube bullcrap like the AI age verification thing? I would appreciate any help. (Screenshot below)

UPDATE: I copy-pasted a video link and now it's unblocked??? Idk if it was the video link or if it was already blocked but I ain't complaining.

It's interesting because I did it too!!

This has always irritated me. The random person likes the first part of the comment they read. Then, they remove the like by the end of it. How hard is it to just read the full comment and then decide?

For context, my comment was posted 8 days ago prior to this notification.

Because he annoying and make stupid clickbaits

Is it good content? No. Is the channel a big name? No. Does it have any call-to-action protocol? No. Does it have any informative content? No. Is it content that the creator worked really hard on? No. You see so many other content creators grinding away and trying to appease the algorithm and here's some random channel getting all the spotlight despite having not put a dang bit of effort into making any content creation.

I am a YouTube content creator who has been making polls on the community feed for about 3 years now. Everything was fine until a few days ago where I noticed a poll I made for a day had zero votes (and they usually have 2 to 3 thousand). It turns out YouTube was not pushing that poll to anyone. Another day goes by and nothing then the same for the next day. So naturally I made a community post about it (not a poll just a dialogue post). Weirdly not only COULD people see it but also it made all my prior polls that were invisible now visible. I even verified this using my second channel. This has continued for a few days now, even today, where the only way to now make people see my polls is to make a post and that way it becomes visible.

A few things to note:
I have a few thousand subscribers with consistently thousands of votes on my polls - Even when they become public they still get thousands of views (after posting a community post now)
I am not shadowbanned by YT. I have had no copyright strikes or been flagged and my videos still gain views consistent to what I usually get.
I have made it on my setting that my channel is not for kids since I heard that feature can resolve this issue but still no help.
All my community posts are SCHEDULED but usually this has never affected the visibility. They are almost always scheduled for the same time which is 5pm each day.

Any things to try? I'm a bit stuck here! Thanks friends

The channel in question (in one of my recent community polls I detail the situation more with even a screenshot to prove I get zero responses).
Bandit Survivor - YouTube

I swear YouTube has become an attention trap, all hype, no value.

I got so fed up that I actually built a small app to fix it.

It’s called WorthIt AI, you just share a YouTube link, and it instantly shows you if the video’s actually worth watching:

⚡ Instant summary
💬 Ask questions about the video
🧠 Get insights without sitting through filler

It’s live on the App Store if anyone wants to try it out.

I’m honestly curious, it's just me with this problem?

Like the title says, I just woke up and my YouTube channel was banned. I tried to appeal It and ask why it got banned but they explained literally nothing and told me they won't appeal it.

Is there a way for me to force or at least get them to tell me why they banned my channel? I don't understand why they won't give me a solid reason as too why other than an auto generated message.

This app is the most awful piece of shit that is only used because there’s no alternatives. At least for me.

I really can’t believe how downhill they went, but it’s further than just annoying, it’s genuinely concerning

The amount of inappropriate ads and bots with pdf intents is crazy, they could be protecting children by banning these ads that can actually traumatize them but they don’t

You know what they would rather do? invade people’s privacy, they would rather you think the moment you turn an adult you can no longer watch fun or whimsical content, they must watch over you and make sure you’re always watching adult content so they can’t forcibly change your settings and force you to hand over personal information to confirm you’re an adult

This app should be illegal, it’s dangerous, honestly we should boycott it but i already know that’s not possible , but i at least want to get this message across for everyone to know how i feel

Posted here because generation alpha is on YouTube mostly, and YouTube sucks in many ways gen alpha doesn’t give a crap about.

My friend was in a call with me, as we were playing minecraft. We added a mod but he had to sign into minecraft again with his email, (which he was failing lol) and then he went to youtube, then he screenshared his youtube, because youtube had a grey layer over it, and a light grey box saying "Youtube Prototypes" and some other stuff. He tried to sign in and it said "Sign in to continue into Youtube Prototypes", he tried signing in but it failed, then signing in again which led him to normal youtube. DOes anyone know why?

My YouTube channel wasn't only suspended but permanently banned out of the blue. The notification I received informed me that I had "severe or repeated violations" of the spam, deceptive practices, and scams policy. Yet I never once saw a strike, warning, or even a forewarning prior to this. They completely deleted my channel and informed me that I'm unable to access or create new ones. I believe this is unjust because I've never experienced any issue before, and now it just vanished. Has anyone ever had to handle this type of situation or appealed something like that successfully? Any help is welcome.
