"Usually, corporate social media accounts stick to polite scripts and general responses while offering the same standard apologies you'd likely receive from most other large company support teams. However, YouTube seemingly threw out the rulebook this week, opting instead to put on a pair of boxing gloves and prepare to go blow-for-blow with frustrated creators. In a move that has the internet rallying behind David in a war of words with Goliath, YouTube issued a surprisingly harsh response to a creator's criticism on social media."
"He explained that every video posted to the channel is 100 percent his own work, but that the appeal was rejected immediately. 'My channel is my Career but it's been terminated and destroyed wrongly. My life's work is gone, while thieves using my content stay up,' he wrote on X. '650000+ subs and the whole work disappeared overnight.' Oops! We're unable to load this content right now. View directly on 𝕏"
A YouTube animation channel owned by creator Nani Josh was terminated on Nov. 13, 2025 for alleged spam/scam activity. Josh stated every video was his original work and that an immediate appeal was rejected, resulting in the loss of 650,000+ subscribers and the disappearance of his content. YouTube responded on social media with a blunt, assertive reply, saying terminations are reviewed and citing "incentivization Spam" as the reason. The public exchange went viral and intensified broader debates about platform content-moderation practices, transparency of appeals, and how creators are treated when channels are removed.
