I wish I knew how to help. It sounds like you’ve become another casualty of the relentless GoogleTron, your blood and sweat now lubricate it’s soulless gears.
The over-reach by Google in response to simple copyright claims continues to be an appalling display of how little they care as a company. I don’t even mean how biased it is towards media companies, I simply mean they don’t care at all about any individual human, they are incapable of it. Never trust the GoogleTron
Good luck, I hope you can get someone with more pull to help!
> life’s YouTube channel Never ever ever rely on a single proprietary platform to run your business. Setup something temporary for your followers like a bitchute channel or similar until (hopefully) you get your main channel back. And then spend some time to diversify your media spread.
Good advice. I have some of them on twitch and in discord. Unfortunately a wide section of followers do not crossover. No matter what I do they don’t seem to want to leave their home platform(YouTube).

It’s okay! Thanks for taking the time to read/reply it means a lot.
Thanks everyone who upvoted to help raise awareness too. This was my last resort so I really appreciate all the help/kind words.
I really wish at the very least they would have given me a way to respond/contact them vs termination with no hope of response.

It's inertia.
Tbh I subscribe to like 200+ youtube channels. Probably like 5 of them talk about having their regular video content on another platform. I don't watch twitch streams.
If more of the creators I cared about uploaded their videos to other platforms, I would switch.
Unfortunately many people are going through the same process these days. The only thing that seem to work is public support on Twitter. So send your complaint to @YouTube and tell your followers to do the same (if you can still contact them on some other platform).

Nah it's shit advice that blames you, the victim for making that choice of platform, rather than finding fault with the platform's behavior. The opportunity costs to you of supporting multiple platforms takes away from producing content. You end up with a fraction of the same number of users, just spread across multiple platforms, and crucially, the platforms aren't all the same. What plays well on YouTube won't play well on twitch nor SnapChat nor Instagram nor TikTok nor Reddit. There's not zero crossover, but as you've found, it's negligible. Go to where your users are, collect email addresses as backup, but spreading yourself thin across all possible platforms is not the recipe for success GP poster thinks it is.
Turns out I didn't have an account here, created one to speak on this.
I have a feeling that the best way to go about this would just be to cause YouTube (well, Google) grief about this every day until you get something out of them -- though I'm not sure what to suggest in terms of gaining initial traction.
Do you have an archive.org (or similar) archive of the channel page(s)?
