@TeamYouTube waited until the VERY LAST DAY of our 14-day appeal window to hit us with an automated rejection! No human review and no real explanation.
353K+ subscribers. 135M+ views. 1M+ followers across platforms. 100% original content.
This is wrongful demonetization, plain and simple. 🧵
1. We've already beaten one of these automated demonetizations before (in early April). Instead of coasting, we TRIPLED DOWN — sharper scripts, better animation, higher production on every single upload.
Each longform video costs us well over $1,000 to make. Huge work goes into our Shorts as well. Nothing we post is low-effort or reused.
2. We even submitted a detailed appeal video breaking down exactly how nuanced our workflow is — writing, design, animation, all original, all ours.
And our analytics tell the whole story: our audience watches, engages, and keeps coming back. This is NOT "unsatisfying or off-putting" content by any real metric.
3. Behind this channel are real people. A team that pours everything into Baby News Network. From writers to animators to editors. These are people we employ, people who count on this to pay their bills and support their families. YouTube is holding a payout we already earned and are cutting off the income that keeps our videos alive, all on the word of an automated system that never even watched our work. This wrongful demonetization puts real livelihoods on the line and it feels like no one at YouTube seems to care enough to take a second look.
4. All we're asking for is ONE internal review from a real human. Not a bot.
@YouTubeCreators @TeamYouTube please escalate this.
Brands and creators everywhere are done being judged by automated systems that never actually watch the work. Repost to help us spread awareness. 🙏
