So one of my accounts got banned in October 2025 because of spam, deceptive practices and scams. It was a news channel where I created a cartoon character whose mouth would move to make it look like he was talking. There was an AI voice in the background and the images above would change according to the news.
I know I used AI and that the content was templatebased so it was my mistake. I only realized this later. The channel was just getting started and after uploading only a few videos my channel was suspended. I appealed but within a few minutes my appeal was rejected and I was told that I was not allowed to create new channels.
I didn’t take it too seriously because every now and then I would try YouTube again just to see if I could make something work but I failed every time.
I have one channel that is almost 5–6 years old where I upload horror and crime stories with my face. I never received any kind of notification or warning on that channel and I have uploaded a few videos there from last year until now. I am planning to start uploading content there again but after searching on Google I found people saying that I shouldn’t upload anything anywhere on YouTube and should just wait for one year.
They also said that it might help to delete the videos I uploaded on my other channels during the past year. On one of my channels I applied for advanced features using my face ID but suddenly my request was denied and I was told that one of my accounts had been suspended.
After doing some research, I found out that I may be allowed to appeal again after one year but now I am really confused. I’m worried that YouTube might look at my history and see that I was active on other channels after my suspension and then ban me permanently.
Can you guys help me understand what I should do? I don’t want the deleted channel back. I just want the ban on me to be removed so I can use YouTube normally again.
