On The Plus Side! YouTube is still promoting your account, because I’ve never seen it or watched any of your videos before, but here you are; sent by the gods of YouTube!

[ryanlovin]

War of the algorithms. I’ve never seen one of your videos before, but this was promoted for me on YouTube’s first row of videos. Hope it gets sorted soon.

If you would like to buy me a coffee, or...ko-fi, during The Demonetisation Times, that's very kind!

Wow, if this can happen to an account/channel that's as large as yours. What hope is there for smaller channels that fall into the very same dark-hole of auto-closings? Thankfully, this has never happened to me, but it's stressing just to learn of the process you've experienced. A channel with half a million subscribers, headed by a very sharp content creator, oy vey, thank you for sharing your own personal horror story.

YouTube IT team probably reply with, "TRY switching your channel off and then ON again...""

Oh dear. I've worked in IT, and if an issue doesn't have an option on the drop-down box, that tends to mean 'this support ticket is going to be a learning experience'. Good call on being polite with the emails to the support people; I'd bet that at least one of them is having a bad day trying to sort it out. (Either that, or no-one's taken it on yet and they're quietly hoping it goes away - in which case politeness is still a good idea; people are less likely to go out of their way to help someone who's being rude to them)

Dystopian bureaucracy nightmare - Google and YouTube have mastered this idiocy.

This happening in december, the month that usually has the highest ad revenue, is especially brutal...

This experience sounds like a nightmare. Interestingly, this is the first video of yours that YouTube has ever put in front of my eyes, so I’m giving you a follow. I hope the issue is fixed soon! Good luck!

These sort of situations are always so frustrating. You have a contractual relationship with a large entity that strictly enforces the contract so that you must uphold your end, but there is absolutely nothing you can personally do to hold them accountable.

The sort of policy-violation gaslighting should warrant legal action.

This made me remember when my son turned 8 years old and the social security system showed that he was 18 and he lost his family allowance and it took me 3 years and dozens of letters to be able to solve the matter and prove his age and now when I go to the social security website in my son page appears a salary that he supposedly received in 1980 but he was born in 1993. And of course they didn't pay the 3 years of missing benefits.

[clutchx]

What a nightmare. Every time I think about jumping into content creation, I'm reminded about the about the horrible tushy-pain that usually comes with it. What a cluster. Good luck; I hope it gets resolved soon.

[caroline..]

Oh the joys of Google. I used to work on Adwords and every time something got flagged it was a nightmare trying to sort it out. Thankfully we got hold of a number for the call centre and got used to asking for the right people to get results, but I feel your pain with the constant back and forth. Hope it gets sorted soon x
