    So I got my channel taken down on YouTube, and I put a appeal up because I got taken down with only 1 strike and they just gave me the same automated email they do for strike and claim appeals. @YouTube has the worst support team all it is is automated emails.

    @Spenguin9 @tiktok_us @YouTube It truly is. I've been having issues on the channel since 2020. It comes & goes. Most recently when YT shorts started getting monitized the views drop. The vlogs & Livestreams where already affected since 2020 but now they all are being attacked & even the likes be disappearing

    @YouTube Does YouTube look up a video on YouTube on how to fix YouTube? (nothing is broken, afaik - just a funny thought)

    @againstme123456 @Johnincarlisle @YouTube Strange how John had no trouble accepting the veracity of the original data which would was nearly double the national still birth rate and then apparently struggled with the modified data which is only some 8-9% less than the national average!

    @JeremyECrawford @ToddKenreck @YouTube invocation spells are also on the Arcane list, they have the option of simply taking them as a known spell and casting them regularly. Jump is pretty awful, and Alter Self at level 15? Eh! However Truesight is nice.

    Yo, @YouTube, what’s up with this jacked-up algorithm? I’m tryna binge one channel, and after EVERY clip, you sling me some random-*** video that’s got ZERO to do with what I’m watching. Fix your damn autoplay.

    @PaultheComicGuy @YouTube No problem I know we don't 100 percent agree but I try to check in on you tube or if I'm doing yard work I'll use Spotify and listen to the JRE.

    @officialbk17 @YouTube it is obviously very stressful and disappointing to lose so much work for such an unfair reason, but you are better than that and I know you will come back stronger than ever and you will succeed even more! wish you all the best.

    @TexasLindsay_ @YouTube Interfering with elections. Illegal, but not something that will ever be prosecuted if you interfere on behalf of the right people. And hey, might work in your favor, if they owe you one.

    @idtbh1 @YouTube You don’t use to Twitter to help people. You use it to repeat repetitive dated jokes and share average at best (if that) nudes. That seems to be the MO here. Or troll people who don’t care who you are but pretend that makes sense.

    @TheSirRobotto @ABridgen @YouTube 3/ The government tested the waters with the care workers first, and when 40,000 walked they realised they'd have a problem and they backtracked and didn't mandate them for nurses/doctors, they were pressured before hand though. 100,000 NHS staff SAID NO. Look up the protests.
