YOUTUBE REINSTATED MY CHANNEL AFTER A SUCCESSFUL APPEAL — THEN REMOVED IT AGAIN!

Look at these four screenshots.

YouTube accused me of promoting scams and terminated my channel. I appealed. YOUTUBE CONFIRMED MY APPEAL WAS SUCCESSFUL AND REINSTATED MY CHANNEL.

Approximately 10 hours later, my channel was removed AGAIN.

Now I’m receiving additional copyright strikes targeting custom thumbnails on my SuperOne investigations, including complaints arriving AFTER my channel was taken offline.

I AM AN INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST. I EXPOSE SCAMS. I DO NOT PROMOTE THEM.

I’ve spent months dealing with copyright complaints, privacy reports and defamation restrictions. I believe YouTube’s reporting systems are being weaponised against my journalism.

I’m losing income, losing sleep and spending countless hours fighting contradictory enforcement decisions.

HOW CAN YOUTUBE REINSTATE MY CHANNEL AFTER A SUCCESSFUL APPEAL, THEN TERMINATE IT AGAIN?

I need a senior human reviewer to investigate the entire history, restore my channel and examine the repeated complaints.

PLEASE STOP PUNISHING THE JOURNALIST EXPOSING THE SCAMS.

MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL HAS BEEN REMOVED AGAIN!

I’m currently in Orlando, Florida, and available for speaking engagements before I leave the USA on 11 November.

My YouTube channel has been repeatedly removed, reinstated and removed again following copyright complaints, privacy reports and other enforcement actions.

I’ve received copyright strikes over custom thumbnails I created myself. Some strikes were subsequently cleared, yet videos remained deleted. I’ve also successfully appealed previous channel terminations.

I’M AN INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST EXPOSING SCAMS, NOT PROMOTING THEM!

My investigations have been featured by Bloomberg, The New York Times, The Guardian and Coffeezilla.

My latest post about this situation reached approximately 31,000 people. The support has been incredible, but I still need answers.

I’m asking YouTube for a genuine HUMAN review of my entire case, an investigation into potential abuse of its reporting systems and additional safeguards to prevent repeated wrongful removals.

I hope @TeamYouTube will finally help protect legitimate investigative journalism.

ORLANDO: AVAILABLE FOR SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS UNTIL 11 NOVEMBER.
