Dear YouTube

My channel was removed without warning. Despite my appeal, the only response I received stated that my videos violated community rules, without any specific details.

Overnight, all my videos were gone.

After hitting several dead ends, I accepted my fate and started a new channel to upload videos that I hadn’t deleted.

A month later, that channel was also removed. Once again, I received the same email, without any clarification on which video(s) had caused the issue.

Fortunately, a friend knew someone who worked at YouTube. Thanks to them, both channels were recovered.

Youtube has its challenges of moderating content. But I don’t think driving license get revoked the first time we speed though a red light. Account deletion is not a guardrail.

P.S. Back up your videos.
