Just a heads-up, without warning on Tuesday I had my YouTube Channel Terminated during a livestream…kinda scary. I got it back up on Thursday…but it happens to you let me know.
I’m back and here’s my first Video
Thats scary. What did you do to get canceled and what did you have to do to get it reinstated?
Hi Ginger on Wheels,
I really don’t know…at the time it was cut off (I assume by a bot), I was reading from an American newspaper about a scooter ride share program coming into Milwaukee. I’m not a conflict type of YouTuber so I am perplexed as to why. After a couple of days YouTube agreed to put the channel back up but they maintain that the content was the following:
“Our team has reviewed your content, and, unfortunately, we think it violates our harmful and dangerous policy. We’ve removed the following content from YouTube:”
Again…I am at a loss as to understand why…I reached out and asked them to re-review and they came back with the same info…no idea sadly.
As to how I got reinstated…I’m going to go into it in more detail in a Meetup that i run but basically I followed up through the Termination email (if you think a mistake has been made etc.).
What I can share that I didn’t even realize would happen, is that the gmail account, google docs, everything was gone…and any account (YouTube/Google) associated with me would be deleted too and a lifetime ban for having a YouTube account…which is extra frightening as my wife has two YouTube channels.
FYI…the video was super boring and not hate filled, I promise…the other YouTuber I was collaborating with was in shock…but interestingly his livestream wasn’t touched …so grateful his channel wasn’t deleted too…but odd that mine was.
Hope that helps Cheers
Tim
Strange. I’m glad you’re back. Let us know if you find out any more details.
Will do But it’s unlikely…as YouTube don’t communicate when you reach out particularly well…there’s no clarity
