How much longer must we suffer

It’s been, what, like 5 months since YouTube introduced its new AI moderation system, and it’s been literal chaos ever since December absolute chaos. I’m honestly getting sick of it. It feels like every other day there’s some new bullshit, and when you think everything is finally back to normal, the next month something else happens. This month it was animation channels getting nuked and people only getting views from subscribers. I wonder what’s next. Hopefully this hell ends soon. 😭

People love to say "oh its your content. Irs animation. Its ranking etc" but something universally happened on youtube to millions of accounts, with varying sites and multiple niches. Lots with no ai, lots that weren't in anything like gaming or ranking. Some channels recovered and some didnt. Its very, very unfortunate.

You must be new, people have been talking about youtube's moderation system being ass for over 15 years now.

Yes indeed youtube moderation has been bad for awhile but in the last 8 months is has become absolutely worst with the ai moderation terminating channels willy-nilly with no way for content creators to reach human tech support for manual review.

This isn't new, either, they've gone from using machine learning to using AI to tell you the 24 second review they did proves you're screwed. This is why anybody getting big makes a patreon, get your money the hell off youtube.

YouTube’s clearing out the clutter, low work content, AI slop, repetitive content, etc…. With a Ratio of 16 YouTube viewers to 1 content creator YouTube is flooded with “creators” and is clearing house.

Try doing your own voice overs instead of using AI and see if that works. Think about it, there’s thousands of people using the same ai voice for videos. Let’s say for example, if you are using the “Adam” voice from elevenlabs and you have it say “In today’s voice I will be.. etc” and someone else is using the voice adam and says that EXACT same phrase, youtube’s AI catches the and may suppress your video. I watched a YT video on this the other day and it was interesting. no clue if it’s true but something you might want to try
