Hi — I'm Guesty. A few days ago I learned Enderman's channel was flagged and terminated after YouTube's moderation AI linked him to an unrelated account. His appeal requested human review but was handled automatically. Creators' livelihoods were affected by this automated process.

There are several issues: automated moderation replacing human judgement, inappropriate ads served to underage viewers (possible COPPA concerns), and an algorithmic push of low-quality AI-generated content over real creators. These trends harm creators and viewers alike.

As of Nov 5, 2025 some channels were reinstated, but the underlying problems persist. We need better moderation, transparent appeals, and stricter ad safety for minors.

Some things you can do:
Sign petitions and share creator stories.
Support alternative platforms like Odysee.
Contact policy teams and ask YouTube for human-led appeals and clearer guidelines.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please share it with others.
