69 days ago, I woke up to find my 40K+ channel — Final Verdict — completely deleted.
The reason? “Circumvention.”
But here’s the thing: I’ve never had a channel terminated before.
So I asked YouTube support which deleted channel I was supposedly “linked” to — the one I would need to “fix” to restore my own.
Then something I didn’t expect happened…
They told me they’re “prohibited from sharing the linked channel.”
In other words — even the AI and the human reviewers don’t know what channel caused this or why.
If even YouTube can’t tell me what I supposedly did wrong.
How can any creator defend themselves against that?
My channel was full of factual true crime documentaries — no politics, no hate, just verified court records.
If this can happen to verified, rule-following creators, it can happen to anyone.
