If shadow banning isn't real, then explain how some of my videos will get 1000's of views per day. Then if youtube demonetizes that video, the views instantly drop to 50 views per day and it never recovers.
Commenting for the algorithm so more people see this. They are only adding more features to shadow ban not removing them. There’s a new feature that shadow bans comments for everyone but the person you tag now.

What happens when you have an employee that works at UA-cam headquarters who gets jealous of certain people and channels and they go in and shadow ban your channel. What’s the protocol for something like that, does it have to go through different levels of approval, or is one person in charge of it and they are the gate keepers?
Im shadowbanned and 100 percent sure. Idk what to do. I removed all my content off youtube and gave up. I know im banned because I use to have a few junk channels that would grow at a normal rate. My channel would get 2 subs for putting out 30 videos in a month while 1-2 of those videos always got a strike. My other channel grew by the 100s when I didn't even put any effort. I wish I could sue over this because destroying peoples dreams is pure evil
Do you think you're banned because of your content? Or do you think you could be banned because of comments you made on someone else's channel? My channel was just starting to take off after 8 months, and 3 days ago all my videos flatlined. I had one video that was getting 100 views per hour, that overnight started getting 5-10 per day. I believe I'm being shadow banned because of comments I made on a Congresswoman's video.
I am much more worried, that UA-cam shadowbans my comments all the time. It also shadowbans comments from others with whom i have (absolutely normal) discussions. It got almost impossible to have a conversation with people in the comments and interchange different opinions. Its terrifying !

I know how it feels bro. Exactly the same with my channel. UA-cam stopped suggesting all my videos to new viewers literally overnight and my views dropped by 97% since that day. I have uploaded several videos anyway since this, but they died at something like 100 views and were never suggested. The funniest thing is that my videos that got 20k views are the worst and have the lowest stats. Newer videos don't get any views even if their AVD and CTR stats are higher. Makes no sense.

UA-cam will not last forever. They have warned me and given me a strike. Christ Jesus is the author of eternal salvation to them that obey him. Hebrews 5:9. We will not eat pork nor be drunk in the new earth. If we put on Christ at baptism, we can also put off Christ by continual willful sin in idolatry like sundaykeeping and observing times like Christmas, Easter, January 1st, etc which God never told us to do. Following the righteous Christian religion will make us suffer in the world but we shall reign with Christ. Let us respect the new moons, holy days and sabbaths which are a shadow of things to come. Colossians 2:16; Isaiah 66:22,23. Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved.
So not even sure if this comment will go through but being able to be shadowbanned even after being a UA-cam premium member for years is absolutely ridiculous. Breaks my heart knowing that the platform I use the most censors free speech
UA-cam defiantly shadowbans my comments. I wouldn't be surprised if my "shadowban" comment will be shadowban. I have not broken not one rule. I just have strong opinions. ????
What email can I use. The description just takes me to a help page where I see no email. I think my other account was banned after just a few days and posts. And the only email option I’ve found is for paid services like UA-cam premium or renting a movie
I miss the days when there wasn’t a censorship board working for UA-cam. The fact that there AI system can ban for certain words but not analyze the context and content properly tells me that the system never should have been developed and put into effect in the first place. It’s one thing when someone is doxxing you and spamming your channel with bots… it’s another when someone just doesn’t like what you have to say. To those people, don’t WATCH. No one is forcing you to interact; it’s unfortunate you have no self-control. But that sounds like a personal problem and not any user or channels fault. Safe space is a fallacy; grow up or get off the platform. The people who try to call to censor others for speech they disagree with are the ones who need to get banned completely from the app.
The ceo should just be fired from youtube and get replaced with a different and better ceo instead of the crap we got now. They shadowban people either because shadowbanned content creators are being themselves, shadowbanned content creators shine light about secrets or government things, or shadowbanned content creators are mostly underage, or black. They discriminate as well. Look at the whole favoritism and racism situation that happened in august 2022. Coryxkenshin was shining light to the secrets of youtube and he got horrible treatment because of that. UA-cam needs to do better, or it will be on them..
As a TubeBuddy Engineer this is one of the most fascinating things for me. I've been trying to find a channel to study in order to see if there is/are identifiable markers in the under-the-hood metadata in UA-cam Studio that could confirm a ban. I know the channel Liberal Hivemind got a shadowban a month before the 2020 elections. Their suggested traffic sources went to zero when it was their biggest source. When that happens new subs come to a halt making growth impossible. If your channel has had this I would love to collab, reply and I can get in contact. Sry Ian for highjacking this short :)
Do you vlog about this or do interviews? I started YT in ‘11 as Jeff 4 Justice but retired the channel in ‘17 after suspecting I was shadow banned. Despite improved vid quality and more interviews with high profile people, I was only getting hundreds of views despite having thousands of followers. I changed the original channel to a vanlife channel. I then re-created my Jeff 4 Justice channel new to keep the two different types of content separate and the archive some of my best interviews yet I stopped in ‘17. I returned to making content last year. It’s sad to see how UA-cam devolved after the Hollywood takeover and political censorship era. Back in 2011 it used to be easy to get subscribers and views. Those days are long gone. I get more views on BitChute and censorship prone TikTok.
What does "potentially violative video" mean? Videos containing fake news? Videos containing sensitive topics? Videos containing Content ID claims? What the hell does that mean?! Please someone answer me if you know
I was getting over 60k views per month. Now 2,700 views. As soon As I applied for the UA-cam “partner program”. What kind of “partner” does this ?! Don’t apply for YT Partner program + just figure out how to monetize another way.

Im shadowbanned. My views have gone from 10-20 views not much but still some to 0 views for like 10 videos in a row for no reason. They dont violate any rules
I made a video, a great finger infection technique. It exploded 28,000 views in about 3 months. 79 POSITIVE comments like God bless you this really worked. Suddenly I could not find my own video.

That's all nice and fabulous but... Why pointing out that "my channel and videos don't come up in search" NOT enough? Why isn't it enough? It's already an evidence of shadow banning 🤷🏻♀️ Why do people require to be told by an authority that things are the way the evidence shows them to be to accept it and act on it?

Unfortunately, you can't do anything about it but just contact youtube and their team. I tried contacting them, and they ignored me like I was yapping, but I was speaking truth about youtubes greedy and narcissistic company. The only best thing you can do is contact them, and if they ignore you, report the app and leave it.
They completely took away all my confidence and pride I’ve tried reaching out with nothing. I went from 0 to 63000 views a month and to maybe 100 a day and any new videos 0 any solutions anyone. Or even look at what I’m doing wrong
What if one are blanket banned across all social media? most likely this comment will not be seen or even interacted with… all of my content is deprioritized on UA-cam Instagram tiktok any other meta related platform, Spotify, and twitter. Funny thing is i do all my own, writing, filming, editing, artwork, animation, graphic design, lyrics, and music production/composition. While my style is weird core or surrealist In nature and has a darker aesthetic, there is no nudity, misinformation, nor violence. So honestly its very hard for me to believe big tech is not playing favorites and being discriminatory when they deny or uphold shadow banning and literally make it impossible for me to work or make a living as an artist.
I know I am shadow banned for sure. Faith is the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1. By faith, a judge condemns the wicked man who did the crime. He was not there when the crime happened, but with the evidence he says that the guilty man did it. None of us were there when God created the heavens and the earth. Yet by faith, we know that our Lord Jesus Christ created all things with male and female made on the sixth day. By faith, we know that Judge Jesus shall return to establish his government and his kingdom in this earth. Christ Jesus is the author of eternal salvation to them that obey him. Hebrews 5:9. If we put on Christ at baptism, we can also put off Christ by continual willful sin in idolatry like sundaykeeping and observing times like Christmas, Easter, January 1st, etc which God never told us to do.

I got banned from posting for no reason 💀 it was only a week, but I am PISSED. I posted a Roblox account giveaway with the passcode ‘never gonna give you up’ but it was backwards so someone would get rickrolled. They striked me once, but i got it the first time. It said it would danger my acc or someone else’s. I understood that and made another part to the video saying it was a joke and it wasn’t my or anyone’s passcode and wrote it down 3 times. In the video, desc, and comments. I posted it…5 minutes later…BANNED FROM POSTING. I wrote an angry response saying that people were able to do the SAME EXACT THING without getting banned. That’s not fair, is it?
They took down a video on my main channel again and it was a live stream that didn’t have anything that would break the rules and now i got a community strike. They also keep shadow banning my vids. Typical youtube.

I have a friend in the atheist community that is a content creator/live streamer that I neeeeeed to send this to, asap. First inkling of a ban/shadow ban is that you keep having to sub and ring the bell on vids. Another question i have: if someone gets temp restricted from a vid, and forced to take it down, calling out bigotry and hate speach, but the origional poster of such venom is still allowed to post said vid on their channel, how can that be reversed. Also, he got permanently demonitized for that vid. Will he have to rebrand and start a whole new channel?
i think i just got banned on this account bc i just got a pop up saying this account was banned, i’ve never said any rude comments or posted any videos, but yesterday i watched a video that somebody said a mean comment on and i said “instead of hating you can just scroll” idk if that got me banned, but it will only let me watch for like 5 sec until i get the pop up again

What of you're not part of the partner program but still have noticed a drastic drop in views? I've had friends and subscribers tell me that they haven't seen my videos popping up on their feed anymore
Thatbis my problem.
alot of black creators are in this situation and us emaling them does nothng just saying thanks tho
UA-cam will not last forever. They have warned me and given me a strike. Christ Jesus is the author of eternal salvation to them that obey him. Hebrews 5:9. We will not eat pork nor be drunk in the new earth. If we put on Christ at baptism, we can also put off Christ by continual willful sin in idolatry like sundaykeeping and observing times like Christmas, Easter, January 1st, etc which God never told us to do. Following the righteous Christian religion will make us suffer in the world but we shall reign with Christ. Let us respect the new moons, holy days and sabbaths which are a shadow of things to come. Colossians 2:16; Isaiah 66:22,23. Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved.
So not even sure if this comment will go through but being able to be shadowbanned even after being a UA-cam premium member for years is absolutely ridiculous. Breaks my heart knowing that the platform I use the most censors free speech
UA-cam defiantly shadowbans my comments. I wouldn't be surprised if my "shadowban" comment will be shadowban. I have not broken not one rule. I just have strong opinions. ????
if i can see your comment doesn't that mean your not shadow banned?
What email can I use. The description just takes me to a help page where I see no email. I think my other account was banned after just a few days and posts. And the only email option I’ve found is for paid services like UA-cam premium or renting a movie
Did anyone find success with the method Ian said in the video?
Anyone? Hopefully!
@@iancorzine do you have a way to connect? I have a few questions to ask you if that is ok.
No way... People doesnt know this, if does... you cannot win gov.
Dude, this hint is not useful for people that have not monetized the channel. What happens with us? Should we create a new channel ?
I miss the days when there wasn’t a censorship board working for UA-cam. The fact that there AI system can ban for certain words but not analyze the context and content properly tells me that the system never should have been developed and put into effect in the first place. It’s one thing when someone is doxxing you and spamming your channel with bots… it’s another when someone just doesn’t like what you have to say. To those people, don’t WATCH. No one is forcing you to interact; it’s unfortunate you have no self-control. But that sounds like a personal problem and not any user or channels fault. Safe space is a fallacy; grow up or get off the platform. The people who try to call to censor others for speech they disagree with are the ones who need to get banned completely from the app.
The ceo should just be fired from youtube and get replaced with a different and better ceo instead of the crap we got now. They shadowban people either because shadowbanned content creators are being themselves, shadowbanned content creators shine light about secrets or government things, or shadowbanned content creators are mostly underage, or black. They discriminate as well. Look at the whole favoritism and racism situation that happened in august 2022. Coryxkenshin was shining light to the secrets of youtube and he got horrible treatment because of that. UA-cam needs to do better, or it will be on them..
No it’s not UA-cam’s fault you just make bad content💀💀
The link doesn’t work can someone send it in the comments
As a TubeBuddy Engineer this is one of the most fascinating things for me. I've been trying to find a channel to study in order to see if there is/are identifiable markers in the under-the-hood metadata in UA-cam Studio that could confirm a ban. I know the channel Liberal Hivemind got a shadowban a month before the 2020 elections. Their suggested traffic sources went to zero when it was their biggest source. When that happens new subs come to a halt making growth impossible. If your channel has had this I would love to collab, reply and I can get in contact. Sry Ian for highjacking this short :)
Hey Michael! No worries. Thanks for the info. Let's talk more -- tag me on Twitter @iancorzine
Do you vlog about this or do interviews? I started YT in ‘11 as Jeff 4 Justice but retired the channel in ‘17 after suspecting I was shadow banned. Despite improved vid quality and more interviews with high profile people, I was only getting hundreds of views despite having thousands of followers.
I changed the original channel to a vanlife channel.
I then re-created my Jeff 4 Justice channel new to keep the two different types of content separate and the archive some of my best interviews yet I stopped in ‘17.
I returned to making content last year. It’s sad to see how UA-cam devolved after the Hollywood takeover and political censorship era.
Back in 2011 it used to be easy to get subscribers and views. Those days are long gone. I get more views on BitChute and censorship prone TikTok.
I think I am experiencing this right now
My channel is heavily being held back
If you are still helping with the dreaded SB, my channel is down 90% during this peak month of traffic I'm about to go into. Thanks, Bryan
That’s what shadow ban is🙃🙂
What does "potentially violative video" mean?
Videos containing fake news?
Videos containing sensitive topics?
Videos containing Content ID claims?
What the hell does that mean?! Please someone answer me if you know
I was getting over 60k views per month. Now 2,700 views. As soon As I applied for the UA-cam “partner program”. What kind of “partner” does this ?! Don’t apply for YT Partner program + just figure out how to monetize another way.
Same thing, within a few months after getting partnership my channel got banned. My other channel literally only have tutorials and still banned.
@@ladybird491 I am sorry you are going through this also. At the same time…Thank you for sharing and letting me know that I’m not the only one that this is happening to.
@@ladybird491 BTW - I just Subscribed to your channel ❤️💎
I think I'm shadowbanned I just wanna post content and get paid so I can pay my bills to survive I guess I'll be dying 😢
Dang
Please talk about the banning ad blockers
That way we can flip the table against them
I got shadowbanned UA-cam sucks
Where is the link??
You can pay a Hacker 50$ to show you all the blocked and deleted/shadow banned comments and videos
where???
AI took over a long time ago 🤣🤣🤣
I think my chsnnel has been shadownbanned too. Used to get a lot of views in this chsnnel. No more.

bro wtf did i evn do
Im shadowbanned. My views have gone from 10-20 views not much but still some to 0 views for like 10 videos in a row for no reason. They dont violate any rules
I made a video, a great finger infection technique. It exploded 28,000 views in about 3 months. 79 POSITIVE comments like God bless you this really worked. Suddenly I could not find my own video. For 2 years now. Where do I write to,? Oh... I tried changing the name, the channel. Name is Finger Infections. Was Heal finger infections fast. Is this like a jealous for recognition thing?
What the link
Yup
That's all nice and fabulous but... Why pointing out that "my channel and videos don't come up in search" NOT enough? Why isn't it enough? It's already an evidence of shadow banning 🤷🏻♀️ Why do people require to be told by an authority that things are the way the evidence shows them to be to accept it and act on it?
I think something happened to my channel too. My videos don’t come in shorts feed not 1 single view m getting from last 15 days and even if I comment on someone’s video. That comment is also invisible.
test test i feel i am shadow bannned. one my videos did great over 250 views 8 subs but i cant see who sub and i have stopped getting views. any info. TEST TEST
Help my UA-cam channel is currently Shadow Banbed & I don't know how to fix it. Please help me.
ok
Shadow ban monkeys
Site Owners needs to be Brave and tell people leave the Site instead of some how tampering with phone...
Freezing not allowed to comment, post nor tap phone but The, Lord pushes through BS. Just keeping Subs off Channel.
Trying to show my hard work in my wildlife photography hours of work.
Post it as a short and doesn’t get 1 like 😔
Access to description is unavailable.
Does anyone have yt's email, please?
Thank you in advance.
My comments are shadow-banned😢 Please help
Unfortunately, you can't do anything about it but just contact youtube and their team. I tried contacting them, and they ignored me like I was yapping, but I was speaking truth about youtubes greedy and narcissistic company. The only best thing you can do is contact them, and if they ignore you, report the app and leave it.
They completely took away all my confidence and pride I’ve tried reaching out with nothing. I went from 0 to 63000 views a month and to maybe 100 a day and any new videos 0 any solutions anyone. Or even look at what I’m doing wrong
sooo shadow banning is real ??? why do so many youtuber say it’s fake ..?
Im definetly shadowbanned. My comments are getting deleted for no reason. CensorTube needs to fix thier AI
What's there email
What if one are blanket banned across all social media? most likely this comment will not be seen or even interacted with… all of my content is deprioritized on UA-cam Instagram tiktok any other meta related platform, Spotify, and twitter. Funny thing is i do all my own, writing, filming, editing, artwork, animation, graphic design, lyrics, and music production/composition. While my style is weird core or surrealist In nature and has a darker aesthetic, there is no nudity, misinformation, nor violence. So honestly its very hard for me to believe big tech is not playing favorites and being discriminatory when they deny or uphold shadow banning and literally make it impossible for me to work or make a living as an artist.
I see you but it seems nobody else does.
I know I am shadow banned for sure. Faith is the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1. By faith, a judge condemns the wicked man who did the crime. He was not there when the crime happened, but with the evidence he says that the guilty man did it. None of us were there when God created the heavens and the earth. Yet by faith, we know that our Lord Jesus Christ created all things with male and female made on the sixth day. By faith, we know that Judge Jesus shall return to establish his government and his kingdom in this earth. Christ Jesus is the author of eternal salvation to them that obey him. Hebrews 5:9. If we put on Christ at baptism, we can also put off Christ by continual willful sin in idolatry like sundaykeeping and observing times like Christmas, Easter, January 1st, etc which God never told us to do. Following the righteous Christian religion will make us suffer in the world but we shall reign with Christ. Let us respect the new moons, holy days and sabbaths which are a shadow of things to come. Colossians 2:16; Isaiah 66:22,23. Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved. Love one another as Jesus loves you.
you must have said something for which they are/were socially manipulating against.
@@michael_stocker Im not sure…I’m an alternative artist but i do believe in Christ, my work is different yes but is all original, I have checked through all my content/comments etc. on all platforms…maybe i missed the tos update reminding I’m not allowed to say anything on the centralized internet now..i dunno…
I see this comment, but you probably don't see mine
OMG I FINALLY FOUND YOU. THANK YOU!
Lawsuit is coming
My channel must be banned cuz damn wth .
Much Love y'all
Does this apply if I am not in the UA-cam partner program
I got banned from posting for no reason 💀 it was only a week, but I am PISSED. I posted a Roblox account giveaway with the passcode ‘never gonna give you up’ but it was backwards so someone would get rickrolled. They striked me once, but i got it the first time. It said it would danger my acc or someone else’s. I understood that and made another part to the video saying it was a joke and it wasn’t my or anyone’s passcode and wrote it down 3 times. In the video, desc, and comments. I posted it…5 minutes later…BANNED FROM POSTING. I wrote an angry response saying that people were able to do the SAME EXACT THING without getting banned. That’s not fair, is it?
They took down a video on my main channel again and it was a live stream that didn’t have anything that would break the rules and now i got a community strike.
They also keep shadow banning my vids. Typical youtube.
it's the people viewing...not youtube. Haters watching your videos or reading your comments...when they don't like what you say, they will flag/report making false claims causing your channel to be flag for shadow ban.
What if I’m not in the partner program? I have worked very hard the past year and I know for sure I’m shadow banned pls help if you see this thankyou
It was my dream to be youtuber and I was sooo much motivated for my new channel and now they shadowbanned me it's not only banning you guys are trashing someone dream
U got the most unique forehead wrinkle
What is a “withheld video”
Thanks, Ian!
How do you fix a shadowban?
Fresh account maybe maybe a static IP
I have an account for three years ago on a device I don't have anymore and I have been trying to find that channel bc that's the only reason me and my online friend were communicating:(
Ban Native American perspective about the virus decolonizaiton of the USA....hahhahhhada
Mine don't show up on literally all channels.
But i realise it happens when I'm responding to someone versus typing a separate comment.
Yh...like rn.
Dunno if you'll see it.
I pay for a subscription fee monthly for a channel that I'm shadow banned on. Does this work as a subscriber? I wish we'd be given a warning or notified once shadow banned. BS
I have been on this site for years and I rearly get to a 100 views
Everything I ever uploaded instantly has a copywriter strike on it and won't show up in searches.
What about comments?
They ban them too if you´re not "woke" enough, if you know what I mean.
Where is the link ?
Will you get banned if you like your own videos?????
I have a friend in the atheist community that is a content creator/live streamer that I neeeeeed to send this to, asap. First inkling of a ban/shadow ban is that you keep having to sub and ring the bell on vids.
Another question i have: if someone gets temp restricted from a vid, and forced to take it down, calling out bigotry and hate speach, but the origional poster of such venom is still allowed to post said vid on their channel, how can that be reversed. Also, he got permanently demonitized for that vid. Will he have to rebrand and start a whole new channel?
i think i just got banned on this account bc i just got a pop up saying this account was banned, i’ve never said any rude comments or posted any videos, but yesterday i watched a video that somebody said a mean comment on and i said “instead of hating you can just scroll” idk if that got me banned, but it will only let me watch for like 5 sec until i get the pop up again
