Stop termination of Youtubers under false claims!


Stop termination of Youtubers under false claims!
The Issue
Over the coarse of a few months, many content creators have woken up to the dreaded message, "Your channel has been terminated due to __________." While some of these terminations have been justified, many of them are from false claims and reports made by haters.
The YouTube platform is supposed to be a place where creators can share their ideas and put themselves out there, but instead it has turned into a strict platform that enforces unfair rules on its users.
Some of the most recent examples are DTL and Teacup audios. These creators had their channel terminated under false claims including nudity, pornography, and violence. These creators put their heart and soul into their content, and now have nothing to show for it. Keep in mind these channels are audios only. Many other channels with videos have been terminated as well. The algorithm is to blame for this, since YouTube is trusting bots to review channels and decide their fates instead of humans. Instead of reviewing the reported channel themselves, the YouTube company has a bot do their work for them.
A big player in this problem is none other than the CEO of YouTube herself: Susan Diane Wojcicki. This lady has enforced many new terms of service policies (without informing the creators until it's too late) that aren't helping the community. One of the main problematic policies is the monetization of content ruled "for kids". Many creators had their content labeled "for kids" even though it wasn't, and then had said content demonetized for those very same reasons.
Many people have spoken out about this problem, but YouTube turned a blind eye. YouTube isn't what it used to be, with the amount of rules out into place. Creators are walking on eggshells everytime they make content, scared that one day they will get that dreaded message.
That is why I am making this petition, I want YouTube to see how upset this is making the creators and the community in general. Many people would have switched to a different platform, but none of them are as developed as YouTube. My hope is that Susan will see this and realize how corrupt and ruined this platform is, and that something needs to be done.
Please sign this petition, if not for these creators, then for the community as a whole.
