On 11th January 2017, my YouTube channel, DroidGameplaysTV was terminated without warning. To date, I have not received a single email telling me why it was terminated. I am creating this petition in a bid to encourage YouTube to reinstate my account.

I worked for three years on my YouTube account. In this time, I managed to gather over 104,000 Subscribers and 100 million views on my videos. Each day, people headed to my videos in droves, learning more about gaming and having fun. My videos were popular all over the world, and barely a day went by where I did not receive a message from a fan telling me that they loved my worked. This was perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of uploading videos to YouTube. I liked the passion of my viewers. I loved the community. I loved everything about the website.

In those three years, I produced over 3000 videos. Each video took many hours of gaming and editing to make sure that they were as perfect as possible. It was common to find me slaving over a computer, even during the early hours, to produce something that I know my fans would have loved. I was dedicated to everybody that watched my channel, and I would never pump out something that I was not happy with. I genuinely believe that my content was some of the best to be found on YouTube.

I currently do not have access to any of the 3000 videos that I uploaded to YouTube. As I was never expecting my account to be snatched away from me, as I was a person who would always follow the YouTube Community Guidelines down to a tee, I never kept a backup of them. I always took for granted that my videos would remain there for people to see for many, many years to come. There was nothing that would lead me to believe otherwise.

The work that I put into my YouTube channel was a fulltime job for me. YouTube managed to snatch away my income. This was my only source of income, leaving me in a predicament when it comes to supporting my life. I currently have no way to make this income back. This is another reason as to why I need my DroidGameplaysTV back.

Perhaps the biggest issue with my YouTube account being terminated is that I do not know why it was terminated in the first place. I am the type of person who understands that YouTube are able to terminate accounts at will. I have absolutely no issues with that. It is their website. However, I always felt like this was something that was strictly limited to those who broke the rules. I have looked over the YouTube Community Guidelines over and over again. When I uploaded each of my videos, I wanted to make sure that I met these guidelines. So, I checked them. To date, I do not think I have broken a single community guideline with the videos that I uploaded.

In addition to this, the banning of my account was done without warning. Nobody told me that I was running the risk of being banned. If I knew that my account was going to be taken away and that there was a problem, I would have done something to sort it out. If I did break the guidelines, and I do not believe I did, then I certainly would have put the effort into correcting the issue as it was a genuine mistake. I never wanted to cause any problems.

If you care about my plight, or you were a fan of the videos I produced (I know that there are thousands upon thousands of you), then I do urge you to sign this petition. Whether it has an impact on whether YouTube reinstates my account or not, I do not know. However, the whole of the DroidGameplaysTV YouTube channel represents my work. It represents the passion that I have for gaming and delivering the best content possible. I have to try. I need to get those videos back and I need to start entertaining my subscribers again, many of whom I know are missing me drastically.

Best, DroidGameplaysTV
