Youtube YouTube shutting down channels

[Missink]

I created a YouTube channel with a woman doing art. She was just showing her legs, fully clothed, but YouTube didn’t like it and took down my channel.

I tried making a new channel with a different email and a new artist, only showing her hands and face. But YouTube deleted the channel, saying I was trying to get around their rules.

What should I do now? I’ve tried new emails, new videos, a new artist, and a new verification number, but it’s still not working. Do I need to change my IP too?

As an entrepreneur, there will come a time when you'll think, "I’m done with YouTube" and "I'm over all these other platforms."

The reason is, sooner or later, big companies like Google, Facebook, and others will let you down, and there’s not much you can do about it.

In the long run, working with several smaller platforms might be better than relying on the huge ones.

I usually don’t mind that attitude for most of what I do, but this time I wanted to create a normal YouTube channel—no clickbait, no affiliate marketing, just completely honest. It’s partly because it’s a passion project, and also for potential monetization. It’s not about a quick money grab. Many content creators on YouTube have channels for years, building loyal audiences, and I wanted to do the same.

I never had these issues with the cheapest, spammiest channels on YouTube, but now that I’m playing by the rules, I’m facing all these problems.

From one point of view, it might actually be good that you got banned, even though it sounds strange. At least you know something's not right.

The unfortunate part is, sometimes YouTube will shadowban you, and you'll end up wasting time on a channel that isn't being shown to the public. But you can still upload content, make edits, and do other things.

I can handle bans, shadowbans, and anything else you throw at me, as long as I understand how it works so I can deal with it. But if it’s unfair and not well explained, how am I supposed to fight that?

That workaround is a good way to describe it, since it covers almost everything.

As others have recommended, you could try getting a brand-new device with a new data SIM card and post only from that, or if you need to stick with a specific internet provider, you could use an anti-detect browser with a proxy.

I’m considering doing that—getting a new phone, new SIM, no Wi-Fi, and so on.

That happened to me (us). It’s the main reason I (we) stopped posting on YouTube. Instead, we switched to platforms like Rumble, Bitchute, Dailymotion, Veoh, and Playeur.

I’ll give them a try, but my problem is that this time I wanted to create something real on YouTube. And for something genuine, where I actually want to build an audience, I think YouTube is the best.

I don't understand. Are you in a country with really strict laws, like Iran or something?

Is this actually a real woman, or is it AI-generated? Why would you think that’s why your channel got banned? Did they send you a message saying that?

There are lots of popular channels with women working out in revealing clothes.

I’m just as confused as you. I know real women personally, and the content is made for me. I live in a very liberal country. The first message said the first banned channel was for sexual content, even though it wasn’t. Then the second channel got banned for circumvention, even though I got the videos from another woman and they didn’t show anything inappropriate. The first girl was just showing her legs while doing something, not in a sexual way, but she has a big butt, so maybe that was too much for YouTube.

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying in my appeal—it’s not even explicit, especially compared to videos that are monetized with girls in tiny bikinis.

Using a bad proxy is one reason why your account might get banned.

I haven’t used proxies. I was just trying to create a real, honest channel.
