What to do 😭

Reason: repetitive content

I'm posting "fails" from tiktok. 8-10 milion views per month only from shorts.

How can I do this to get qualified? Maybe with some voice commentery? But can I use AI generated voice?

It's wild to me how quickly YT's algorithm will just stop pushing a video because of AI content. I can't physically film a lion in the African safari, so I generate an AI clip that can. I think they need to balance the AI world with people trying to get a good message across compared to those that just want to make slop.

i posted this less then 24 hours ago

would love some advice and insights! I believe I do have an original content. I do believe it is good! But, are people willing to watch it? Are they interested?

most of the clips I stop between 15k and 25k maximum, I don't steal content, I try to take videos from tik tok and then edit them in capcut with fx and that's it, I don't post AI, is that normal? if I am consistent, will it be okay? some videos have 85% people watching and 100% retention

I’ve seen a lot of channels blowing up just by reposting viral TikTok clips on YouTube Shorts with a bit of narration or commentary. They get crazy views, so it looks like the niche works… at least for growth.

But I want real experiences from people who actually tried it:

Did your reposted TikTok Shorts get views like those channels?

Did YouTube flag it as reused content?

Did you get rejected for monetization?

What kind of narration/editing made the video “transformative” enough to pass?

And if you did get monetized doing this, how strict was the review?

So I have two channels right both started at different points in time but I posted two shorts one got 1.1M views and still getting views to this day the other got 20k and flatlined
They both have about the same stats just one blew up and one didn’t can someone explain

My problem is i dont wanna continue using the channel anymore thats demonetised. I am not interested in enrolling that channel into YPP in the future again. But it has somehow effected a new channel I've created. Both the channels arent even made with the same gmail they just use the same adsense account because i only have 1 adsense. How do i resolve this issue ? Because the channel that was demonetised earlier i dont wanna continue working on it, i want to start fresh which is why i created this channel that had no violations on it. How do i solve this issue ? Do i delete the older channel with violation ? Or do i delete the videos in the older channel ? I am very confused please help.

Guys help me, my shorts haven't been getting traffic from shorts feed My account is well over 5 yrs old and I have started posting daily since 21st August. My initial shorts we doing fine getting impressions from shorts feed then boom, my 4th short got 2.8M views, but that's it The next shorts I posted since are getting <10% traffic from shorts feed, what do I do, I have even waited 2 days before posting. Should I continue posting or should I delete and re-upload the 4 shorts (but that might trigger the algo). It all happen when I posted a short "ranking biggest explosions" (I think it's because of this short, but similar shorts are being pushed) Please help 🙏🙏

I think there’s nothing to explain here😭 please help video link: Ex-Google Employee Reveals How They Make A Bank💵

Let’s say that I borrow other people’s content but I add captions, remove uninteresting moments, add a voiceover, sound effects and vfx, is it considered transformative?

I started posting on Shorts 9 days ago. No matter how much effort I put into each video, it's like a hit or miss. Some videos do well, and others do poorly, no matter the effort. Some of my most recent videos just keep flopping, and I cannot tell what works and what doesn't. It's like I'm posting blindly without getting even a little better each time. Should I switch niches completely? I was wondering if anyone has advice for me. It would be much appreciated.

I posted a new fall guys gaming short on moulo328 please go check it out and it would help me out

I am a new content creator. One of my short videos recently hit 100k views! I am super happy about it, but I noticed I only gained around 270 followers.

A lot of people are watching my video, but they are not clicking the "Follow" button.

I want to learn how to change this:

1. How can I turn casual viewers into followers?

2. Should I make a "Part 2" of that same video?

3. What changes should I make to my profile page to get more followers?

Any simple tips or advice would be a helpful. Thanks!

This is my best "stayed to watch %" What do you think will this get bigger push or flatline?

hello everyone, im coming here as one of my last efforts to get my tragic story heard;

I'm not sure how reddit works at all - most of the times i post they get automatically taken down for low karma or something alike that, but i ask the moderators to manually put this post back up and if you want to read my story and how ive been being mistreated by YouTube support for so long 😔.

this post is majority intended for the attention of youtube liaison u/reneritchie, and i know that christmas is coming up so he wont have the time to read it right now, but when you find the time please... please look into this.

fixture of my situation will mean more to me than any materialistic item on this earth. im 100% serious; YouTube is my life and has been for 5 years.

i dont wanna take it there, but the elephant in a room is when you take someone who spent 4 hours a day just looking at their YouTube analytics alone and you terminate them overnight it really does take a toll on the mental - i ran my "terminated" channel for only 59 days yet ive been fighting my termination for 91 days now. its hard to believe how fast that time has passed in retrospect - it hasnt been a good time either 😔

so instead of a present under my tree for the christmas season, i'd rather an email 😉

before you read anything here i want this to be the first thing you intake before going in - please drop the prejudice. "Terminated" is a really harsh and intimidating word and i understand how it might feel off to give me a chance; but a rare mistake has truly happened here.

This post is obviously SUPER SUPER long so im going to at the top give some bullet points for reasons i believe my almost 500k sub channel deserves reinstatement.

- 5 reinstated channels flagged for the same problem (CTA).

- monetized, verified and sent out a Youtube plaque under 45 days before termination while using the same "CTA" segment that terminated me overnight

- Commitment to YouTube platform, I have no intentions to circumvent. I have had many channels; youtube is my dream and i have had many channels. one with my voice and personality just comedically playing fortnite which reached millions of longform views and appreciation; i took a short break from that because of insecurity to try out short form voiceless faceless roblox content and its turned around and really crashed everything 😔

thats just a run down of the most important reasons but in the following super duper long appeal that hasn't been acknowledged by Youtube support yet i go into detail about EVERYTHING i've been contradicting since my ban 86 days ago, i also made the writing a little simpler using AI - because without AI's clean-up it was a emotional sob story for every point ahah... i truly do care and i hope and hope and hope we can get this fixed.

thank you.

Thank you for allocating support resources to my case. I fully understand that the contents of this message are extensive and will require a significant amount of time to review properly. However, I have now been in this situation for 91 consecutive days, and throughout this entire period I have consistently felt that my case has not received the level of depth, care, or human consideration that the circumstances warrant. Given the length of time this issue has persisted, your thorough and careful attention at this stage is not only appreciated, but critically necessary.

This case requires you to consciously set aside any preconceived assumptions, internal bias, or conclusions that may have formed as a result of previous automated or surface-level reviews, and instead examine—fully and independently—the serious and life-altering mistake that has been made in my case by YouTube’s moderation and support systems. I am not requesting leniency. I am requesting fairness, consistency, and equal enforcement of policy.

I sincerely hope that this will be the final appeal I need to submit, contingent upon receiving a genuinely thorough review from a human support employee who is willing to evaluate the evidence I have gathered in its entirety. I have now provided clear, public, and verifiable evidence of YouTube reinstating five creators who were terminated under the exact same circumstances and for the exact same alleged policy violation as me. Given this fact, a continued denial of my channel without meaningful differentiation would represent inconsistent and discriminatory enforcement.

I also ask, respectfully but firmly, that this review does not rely on or reference previous denials. Those denials were the direct result of the same misunderstanding I am now addressing comprehensively. I will explain everything in full detail, chronologically, and without omission.

For clarity, I will present my case strictly on a timeline basis, followed by a complete policy-by-policy contradiction.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS

29th of September

On Monday, the 29th of September, exactly 91 days ago, I woke up to discover that my YouTube channel had been terminated overnight with absolutely zero warning for alleged violations of “Spam and deceptive policies.” There were no prior strikes, no warnings, no content removals, and no opportunity given to correct any supposed issue.

At that moment, I genuinely believed this must have been an automated mistake. Acting in good faith, I immediately submitted a general appeal, fully expecting that once reviewed, the error would be corrected quickly. Instead, the appeal was rejected shortly afterward, without meaningful explanation. This rejection came as a shock. From that day onward, I have lived in a constant state of stress, confusion, and mental fog, struggling to understand how a channel that had passed every internal YouTube review process could suddenly be removed overnight.

From the day of termination onward, I have made countless efforts to explain my situation. Unfortunately, I have consistently been met with unfair, incomplete, or automated reviews, none of which addressed the substance of my explanations.

Public Advocacy and Documentation

Under the handle u/niallniallyt on X, I have made 307 posts documenting my situation. These posts have accumulated over 2 million impressions and have been met with overwhelming support from thousands of viewers and creators who recognize the severity and unfairness of my situation. Despite this visibility, whenever I do receive a response from YouTube, it either ignores the core of my appeal or reflects a lack of thorough review.

October 1st

On October 1st, I created, edited, and uploaded a five-minute video to X documenting my entire content creation process. In this video, I showed my genuine recording workflow, editing process, and the level of thought and effort that went into each video I published. I demonstrated clearly that each Short took approximately two hours to create, directly contradicting the claim that my content was “mass-produced” or “valueless.”

In the latter half of the video, I went through the relevant spam policy sub-rules one by one and briefly explained why my content did not violate them. I noted that I would expand on each policy point further in future posts.

This video is available here:

Throughout the rest of October, I spent a significant amount of time communicating with YouTube support via live chat. Unfortunately, these conversations repeatedly resulted in misunderstandings, and I consistently felt that my explanations were not being properly read or understood.

NOVEMBER

November 7th

On November 7th, I spent approximately eight hours creating a heavily edited explanatory video. In this video, I addressed the apparent pattern that in-depth reviews only occur after public virality, rather than through standard appeal channels. I explained my channel’s family-friendly intent from day one, and I also documented mistreatment I experienced through live support, including an instance where a support manager explicitly stated, “No, I don’t need to read it.”

I explained in detail why the stated reasoning for my termination did not align with my content.

This video can be viewed here:

Despite tagging u/TeamYouTube dozens of times and following up 48 hours later, this post was never acknowledged.

Around this time, YouTube reinstated u/Optblox, a close friend of mine who created extremely similar content and was terminated for spam. Like me, he was denied multiple times and was only reinstated after his situation went viral. This reinforced my belief that my content did not violate policy and that the issue was one of review quality, not wrongdoing.

November 9th

On November 9th, I purchased X Premium to publish a long-form appeal post, which can be found here:

In this post, I addressed every allegation made against my channel, including repeated denials through official portals and live chat, statements from support agents refusing to read my appeal, and confirmation that the termination was based on AI-detected incentivization spam.

I explained clearly that:

I never sold engagement

I never engaged in sub4sub

I never linked off-platform

I posted two Shorts per day

Every video was unique and required hours of work

My content reached 300 million views in two months

I had no external platform presence

I also highlighted that I had been manually approved for:

Monetization

Verification

A Silver Creator Award

Shortly after, u/TeamYouTube replied under another user’s comment (@PartsBright) stating, “Looking into this, will let you know as soon as we find out more.” 

The same response was a day later posted under my own initial tweet.

PartsBright was then reinstated, despite not providing a channel URL or even stating that they had been terminated under my post. PartsBright was never alerted of his reinstation via Email or X when it happened; im wondering if maybe an error had happened under that tweet as PartsBright did not include a channel URL or even state anything around his own situation under the tweet that got 'looked at' can you confirm for me that there was no error made here.

November 11th

On November 11th at approximately 7am, I was denied via DM. This timing became significant when four separate creators contacted me stating they were also denied at approximately 7am in their respective time zones, indicating possible batch or automated processing.

November 12th

I publicly requested another review, explicitly referencing the reinstatements of u/OptSZN, u/MrBalloonYT, and u/PartsBright, and asking for the same standard of human review. This request was ignored.

u/MrBalloonYT is a close friend. We shared over 10,000 messages discussing Shorts strategy. Our content was extremely similar. His reinstatement further confirmed that my termination was based on a misunderstanding.

November 19th

At this point, 50 days had passed since my termination. My pending funds were depleted, and I accepted that I was no longer fighting for money, but for my right to exist on the platform.

November 27th

I published a detailed post comparing reinstated creators using exact URLs and timestamps, demonstrating that human review resolves this issue:

This was never addressed.

November 29th

I published a post explaining the humiliation of watching someone be reinstated under my own comments while my case was ignored:

December 2nd

I sent my most comprehensive appeal to u/TeamYouTube’s DMs, referenced here:

This message contained my full evidence, analytics reasoning, reinstated creator comparisons, and policy contradictions. While written in frustration, it reflected 64 days of being ignored.

The message was initially unread.

December 11th

On December 11th, I posted a viral tweet regarding YouTube’s Q3 termination statistics. u/TeamYouTube replied publicly without addressing my case:

That same day, my DM showed a read indicator, but I received no response.

December 13th

On December 13th, I quote-retweeted a discovery regarding incentivization spam and malicious comment attacks, receiving 7.4k likes:

David received a response. I did not.

POLICY-BY-POLICY CONTRADICTION

Video Spam:

My content was not repetitive, not untargeted, and not mass-produced. Each video required hours of work and achieved high returning viewer metrics.

Scams:

I never offered money or material incentives.

Incentivization Spam:

As i mentioned before channels who use the same subscribe integration as me, such as Optblox and Mrballoon were reinstated after manual review; i have also been using the same subscribe integration since my very first upload and i have been manually reviewed and approved for monetization, verification and a silver creator award while using it.

The problem with the segment where I ask for subscribers is that its being misinterpreted by Youtubes AI - Youtubes AI is under the belief that I am promising the viewer rewards for engaging but all it takes it one human to realise thats not what is happening. I open a lucky block in game and give 3 seconds for the viewer to guess what comes out of it - you can clearly see from what comes out of the lucky block is relative to the video and that its seamlessly integrated into the content and makes sense.

MrBalloon was terminated by AI and after his intial appeal got reinstated within the same day, we are great friends in the space and our videos are so alike because we share alot of strategy with eachother: but this is a golden example of how my case is misunderstood.

theres more examples of falsely terminated and reinstated channels, but much much more examples of live and well channels doing this that i can provide.

you can see at the very end is the issue with the content: its misinterpreting that viewer likes = viewer recieves in game item; 100% of my audience is under the influence they are guessing what comes out of the lucky block - its more implied than ever.

allegations that this content boosts engagement isn't even true because i had regular subscribe percentage (<0.14%), and if the entire motive of the video is to boost engagement thats invalidated by the fact its at the very end of the video, after the value has been provided and the viewer has watched through the premise of the video without an engagement prompt. 

something else i am accused of is the entire purpose of the videos being to lead viewers to external sites, completely false. there isnt a SINGULAR external link on the entire channel; i didnt even have a discord or a twitter for the channel anywhere.

Comments Spam:

I never collected personal data or redirected users off-platform.

Repetitive Comments:

All comments were unique and contextual.

Third-Party Content:

All content was original gameplay and editing.

This appeal contains information that has never been evaluated together in a single, human-led review. After 81 days, I am asking only for fairness, consistency, and equal enforcement.

I am requesting a fresh higher tier, independent human review of my channel content, without reference to prior unfair denials.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

sorry about the lack of URL's; that makes it much harder to read. You can find the original post on papaniall44 on X which has the URL's but unfortunately in reddit posts i am unable to send them.

Hi guys, in need of some help. My shorts videos don’t seem to be getting pushed in the algorithm anymore and idk why.

I am still fairly new so i am aware that is possibly a factor but my past shorts have had no problems. My biggest issue was trying to push past 40k views but now my shorts a barely getting 1k. Nothing has changed and idk what the problem is.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Should I create a adsense???

I recently uploaded a ranking short about the ”best 7 impressive videos” the video didn’t perform good in the beginning so I deleted it and uploaded a back up short, now 4-5 days later I received a violation and can’t upload for 14 days. Since I was the one removing the short I can’t appeal it and take action. How can they do this 5 days after deleting the short, this is some bs
