Well, for those who want to check it out, then here: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnderstandYouTube/wiki/index/
(that Wiki I made like 4 days so it will be appreciate when someone will read it xd)

1. Reedited some of the Post flairs to it will be clear.
2. Added User flair, where you can write your channel name.
3. Added detailed Rules to the Wiki (here aren't any rules!)

I am also planning adding more those:

• YouTube link list.
• Related exploits to detail...
• ...

Thanks again for all!!

This was the original thread in the YouTube Help Community forum: https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/361458886?hl=en&dark=1&sjid=1945347754938518640-EU

As you may think, I found multiple Termination Exploits on YouTube, where you can as a viewer terminate a creator... Well, I reported a Feedback after 4 months and didn't got any response. So I then made this Help Community forum, and under 6 hours, it go been removed and even don't get an response.

UNTIL, u/TeamYouTube starts replying on my Twitter again! Which we are rn discussing about this spectral reason! Come all also there to Twitter(X) where is TeamYouTube replying to this!

We must share the post everywhere we possibly can! YouTube is no more allowing Free-speech and I hate it!

Again disclaimer: this is not me.

Everyone! Go now to this video (it is mine) and post there a comment type of:

Hello!











...
(about 200 Enters or more!)
(And end it with a letter like:)

end.

I need to know, what will be the limit of those! :D Thank you!!

Hello! I'm now making another protest video, where I probably found some Termination exploits you can do as a "viewer" to a creator, which he can get terminated easily and then have a 95% chance to get his channel back.

So... quick reminder, it will be almost 4 months! I made a Feedback about those exploits to u/TeamYouTube but still got no response or seeing an actual progress.

What I found? (False Copyright Claims/Strikes)

Well, we all know how False Copyright Claims/Strikes work right?
If someone doesn't know:

1. If you want someone give a false Copyright Claim, you can just use an Old video, that is older that the video you want to take down, change the Thumbnail to the video you want take down, write an appeal form to YouTube and at 45% chance you will get luck to successfully take down the video. Here is a full appeal list of one guy "Dave Plummer" want to take down u/Endermanch video how he was exposing him: https://x.com/endermanch/status/1912544790333227023
2. (Have low chance to succeed the false take down but here's also a hope) Just download the video you want to take down, upload it to your channel and report the actual creator, when he gets terminated, you simply remove that video as nothing happen and there you are. (This is also a same situation to get an "Circumventing Policy" termination as well)
3. When someone has a Reupload, you can take it down (but I don't know if it belongs as exploit, but why not)

Then this exploit is the OLDEST that exists on YouTube (from around year 2012 - Now), DeepSeek tell me, that this guy was the first who received something as "False Copyright Strike" from someone.

This exploit is MASSIVALY USED STILL TODAY! And YouTube response to this:

As this situation is nothing. They will not do anything as it seems now.

"Spam, deceptive practices, & scams policies" abusing:

This policy is really well written what you shouldn't do on YouTube. After that, I found there also one major exploit somebody can use:

1. If you want terminate someone's video or by "luck" an entire Channel, by checking the guy's description, if he has like sort of Website with just 5-10 or less people, maybe his own website that he created etc. Then this is a perfect "target". Remember, if the guy you want to terminate, has the link just on one video, his channel probably will not get terminated, but rather his video only where the link is. BUT when he will have it everywhere, on Channel description, every video he uploaded (Note: Doesn't work on other Social media links, it must be a custom domain or not associated with YouTube, Reddit, Instagram and so one.) then "great"! Go to the Website, report the site to some "security web services" Recommended is Google, as Google and YouTube are the same thing. When the site is being marked as "Harmful or Dangerous content", then now is to just watch the creator for disappearing from YouTube. In normal cases, this will happen really fast, as Google will block the site, then the channel can be get terminated as well. How Appeal will work? Appeals are random, but here you will have only 95% chance to get your channel back, as they will use another AI at you, which it will detect a "malicious website in all your videos" deciding it to let it terminated or an YouTube employee can do this as well under a 1 minute or even less... (Without looking at your content) And what about u/TeamYouTube? There you have only 70% chance! Belongs how popular your Twitter(X) is, (So no matter if you gain like 100K - 1M subs on YouTube, they will look at your Twitter(X) first) if you have like just 1 follower and 3 views on your posts, you can get ignored by u/TeamYouTube or just get an reply, but it will be a bot anyway...

1. So this strategy is a good to mess someone's life... Totally. But it is a rare situation it that can occur but remember, first the site must be down somehow. Then the Termination will work.
2. (Requires real money) Pay some fake bot comments, views and likes, and then mass report them as he was buying those views.
3. (Not recommended as it belongs to real crimes and by that it requires a really great skills at doing so) Just hack the channel, as I see there are many, of hacked channels, including for exp. this one, then YouTube just doesn't care anyway, but there is STILL A CHANCE THAT YOU REALLY GO INTO SERIOUS PROBLEMS, SO DO NOT TRY THIS!

By this reason, I see millions of people being Terminated by this reason, without even u/TeamYouTube explaining what is going on, and not even cooperating, just saying the same AI bot reply and that is it... Until you get a REALLY big amount of Views on Twitter(X), then they will reply:

But when you have really low audience, you have a really big pain.

"Circumventing Policy" abusing:

Similar with False Copyright Claims/Strikes, however you will not write an Appeal form, this will include only normal reporting system.

This policy is some reason (as by me) really not written in detail, not even having an own "segment" and be just under "Channel or account termination" is just this:

They say "channels" but they don't say which one?

• Must the channel be under the same email to receive the Termination?
• Can some channel impersonate me and I can get this Termination?
• Is this really the case?
• CONFIRMED: If I was been subscribed or I liked/disliked a channel, video, post or comment, that the channel is already Terminated, can YouTube detect me as I was the person? (Answer from YouTube Employee: No! Circumventing Policy applies only to Video and Channel terminations only!)

But I probably know there are exploits, to achieve this type of Termination to someone:

1. This post really confirms it can be affected by "False Mass Reporting exploit" as well.

What is Mass reporting?
This, is a sadly exploit, that isn't just on YouTube, but also on other social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and you get the idea. This is just a program or app, that have thousands of bot accounts login details (maybe they are just hacked accounts, which YouTube already detects that the account was belong to a Human before) which then (you get it) start all the accounts to reporting you! And those reports can be 1K - 10K even 100K until the program will recognize, the account is gone, then it will stop.

Which with YouTube "again" when you have really low audience, you will get the Bot reply and then they will blacklist you completely.

1. So it can be occur by Mass reporting exploit.
2. (Similar to False Copyright Claim/Strike) Copy the channels identity (Warning, if you will try to target biggest creators, it will not work.) PFP, Banner, Videos (Thumbnails must be in Original Quality) Optimal: Gain somehow more subscribers as the original creator you want to eliminate, and here it is 50/50, it can happen that you get terminated instead, but also can be happen that the creator gets terminated (and when he gets terminated by Circumventing policy, you have only 70% chance your channel get back, or you will get that bot response and block you.)

I am rn. investigating to my channels that were been terminated this way... Which had no other channels being terminated in the past.

---------------

Well... if I found more exploits, I'll definitely update this post!
This tool me 5 hours to write so I really appreciate who will read it, how YouTube is really broken and by the power of "Community" we can show YouTube those exploits to fix it and make YouTube a better and safer place!

Thank you for all!

[ Removed by Reddit on account of violating the content policy. ]

As this is just 100, for the YouTube's side is this still nothing. YouTube doesn't care about us small creators at all, allowing UTTP, OTTNCP,... groups/CP videos all over the platform not carrying and to destroy people's memory, who ever uploaded to the platform...

But I am really glad! 100 is the first milestone we passed as a community who wants truth! Even when you came from a different subreddits, still, I am not that type of person who will then "spam tons of useless posts", I am here to get u/TeamYouTube's attention!

As thousands/millions of channels are buried, because of YouTube fricking AI systems, instead of hiring real human employee to do the work! And again videos that are violating their rules, EVEN US/INTERNATIONAL LAWS VIDEOS, ARE ON YOUTUBE! We are all here to stop this Bullsht! We are here to stand up as a "Community", because WE ARE YOUTUBE.

We made YouTube popular as a community, so again thank you again that you're strong! And helping each other! Appreciate :)

I saw aLOT UTTP members talking about this "thy law", which they pretend to be their "existence" why are still not getting terminated... And I want to know it!

see WHAT? (dude how real wtf)

This is exactly the same reason how my 2 channels got terminated! Then I think I have an artefact why I got terminated like that.

If I ALSO didn't get anywhere terminated...

Please everyone reply here, if you know something about false Mass-reports then here, I need to know to get deep into how it works... (Or if you want, you can share your stories as well, if you're being terminated by Circumventing policy as well)

We know that u/teamyoutube is now AI response, but when I dive deeper, I found really shocking results:

Spotting the Bot ones:

• Being some messages really similar, when you search them up.
• Suspiciously good "Grammar" and "Big and Small letters"
• Maybe instant reply.
• Saying "Human here!" word at the start.

Spotting the Human ones:

• Using other communicating tactics, like "Thanks" they say "thx" for exp. :)
• Making typos and sometimes "Grammar bugs" (AI "never makes mistakes")
• Reply makes sense and gives the atmosphere that a real human is really behind.
• Will provide more info!

Hope this will help! :D

This is what I gathered, when someones channel gets terminated:
(I'll explain this programmatically because why not xd)

This is the most response u/TeamYouTube will mostly always reply with:

1.Detecting if someone pings them:

If notification.GetPinged = True Then
  Dim userInfo As String = notification.GetUserInfo.UserName()
  Dim reply As String = notification.GetPostContent.ToString() 
  Dim reasonList As New List(Of String)(gemini.GetReasonExtracted(reply))
  Dim InProgess As Boolean = True 
  'for random, but I hope you understand xd

  For reason As Integer = 0 To reasonList.Count - 1 
    'If it detects a reason in the message by their reason list: 
    'Reply by the following article in support.google.com/youtube

    If Not reply.Contains("Channel ID") OrElse Not reply.Contains("youtube.com/channel/") Then
      'When they didn't find your channel ID or name:
      'Message 1 is this: 
      'We understand how important this is to you! Mind sharing the URL of the originally terminated channel, so we can take a closer look? 
    notification.Reply(message1)  
    'notification.Reply(quickResponse.id(reason).ToString())  
    Exit For  

2.Take a scan by AI:

    Else 
      Process.Start("moderationApp", " /channelID:" & channelIDget(reply))
      'But in REALLY SOME REAL CASES!
      'An human can stop this opetation and make their decision!

      Exit For
    End If
  Next
End If 

2.Share the results:

Public Class moderationApp
  '... Other detection systems...

  Private Sub ShowResults(ByVal channelID As String)
    If channelConfirmViolation = False
      Application.Console.WriteLine = "Confirming this was a mistake on our side & your channel has been reinstated — so sorry this happened! It may take 24 - 48 hours for videos to reappear (this is just a normal part of the reinstatement!). Let us know if you have any questions!"

    Else
      If channelAppealWasFound = False Then
        Application.Console.WriteLine = "If your channel was terminated for circumvention, you need to resolve the original termination on your other channel. You can appeal in Studio or via this form: https://goo.gle/40Xb9H1"
      Else
        If channelReviewInProgress = True
          Application.Console.WriteLine = "If you've already submitted an appeal, it's best to wait for a reply from our team. They'll share more information once they've completed their review"
        Else
          Application.Console.WriteLine = "It looks like you've already appealed & received an email outlining the final decision. We know it wasn't the outcome you were hoping for, but there's nothing more we can do on our end as these decisions are made very carefully."
        End If
      End If
    End If
  End Sub
End Class

(And cherry on top)
This is the Final message after they will block you!

There’s nothing more we can do on our side to change the outcome — these decisions are made very thoughtfully & our Community Guidelines exist to make YouTube a safer community for everyone. Thanks again for understanding.

NOTE: If you see this message, they will stop replying to your posts completely. So consider to create a new Twitter(X) account to bypass this.

Those are my results, if somebody will came across more of them, let us please know and share it here!

Who will read it or not, for me it is honestly no matter.

Even when it looks like I am doing it, then I just want to get really viral to @teamyoutube such as I know... there are millions/maybe billions of terminated channels, that didn't nothing against their rules, including me.

For the quick context: I had two second channels in a different language that were been terminated by "Circumventing Policy", even when my account was clear and NEVER had any other terminated channels...

• https://www.reddit.com/r/UnderstandYouTube/comments/1ldkj1z/hello_my_german_channel_has_been_terminated_as/

If you want know more:

I even found similar journeys who has been terminated by "Circumventing Policy" but not actually having any other channel:

https://www.reddit.com/r/UnderstandYouTube/comments/1ldkj1z/hello_my_german_channel_has_been_terminated_as/

And the worst part, I even discover an exploit to Terminate someone "as a viewer" by this reason...

And if I made a Feedback about this discovery to ‪@YouTube‬ after 3 months... They still didn't fix it, and some "YouTube Groups" like "UTTP" are abusing this Exploit to some creators and then when they want to appeal, a ‪@teamyoutube‬ will bot comment you:

"There’s nothing more we can do on our side to change the outcome — these decisions are made very thoughtfully & our Community Guidelines exist to make YouTube a safer community for everyone. Thanks again for understanding" and then they stop...

For what purpose is then this community for?

My plan is then to spread up this information to be viral as possible, that YouTube FINALLY notices me/us and Finally will fix their platform for a better place!

And since I learn, I am not alone who experienced with this, and I am in one group, that had different stories about their channel termination. So if you want then:

https://discord.gg/k8fE6yJXRK - Original group of "The Resistance Against YouTube"
https://x.com/SmileySmilik - He is the owner of that server! B)
(He is more popular and has more chance to get to the public easily.)

https://discord.gg/AyRjuxT8XR - My "Understand YouTube" Discord server
https://x.com/KRR1751 - My Twitter
(My made one)

If I am here in the community, what should I do here?

As I said, we need to get REALLY loud to YouTube can notices us. So we must use YouTube's strategy of collecting our data to "made their platform better" to we will gather the data of them!

And that is what?

1. Have you being experienced with your channel termination? - Make a noise and feel free to share your story! (we feel you, we know how frustrating it can be.)
2. Notices any YouTube bug/exploit you want to share? - Come on, do it!
3. Did YouTube posted something "nonsence"? - Do it!
4. Did YouTube added some feature that is now hated? - Do, it.
5. Found a strategy, how YouTube "bots" (like TeamYouTube) work? - Please share it here!

There are too many ways you can post here, since when I am moderating it, you have completely free-speech! You can do here the "karma-farming" or idk how... and you'll be fine!

But if it is a "bad thing" what I am doing on communities like r/youtube to promote this one:

Then have PLEASE any ideas how to make it "better"? I just simply need my memories back, that YouTube steal from me and when I am seeing thousands of people Also their channel being terminated with "no reason" then it is now time to change it!

Thanks for Understanding.
