I would like to share my story:
I spent hundreds of hours creating content to You Tube, til one day without any warnings i was permanently terminated! Letters i received from them were shallow and none of them explained witch parts in what videos were violating their terms. I kindly asked about it in 10-20 different letters, so i would have a chance to re-edit everything. No answers, no solutions, no videos! I asked to get my content back since i had no other copies (my own fault). Same happened. Shallow answers, no solutions, no videos!
I looked into it and found out that thousands of people go through same trouble as me. Lucky ones get everything back but You Tube will not ever reveal why this happened in the first place. Not so lucky ones, like me, are "left in space". How could i start again when i did not learn what to change? I am afraid to get terminated again.
After reading every possible agreement that they had, i had more questions than answers. I still found nothing even remotely close to my videos from there.
There are people out there who have lost more than me...some may lose years of work. Every person can lose their career in You Tube in the matter of seconds. Some eager content creators, like me, can´t even get off the ground before getting terminated. I feel empty, sad and devastated inside, having lost all my work and future perspective. All my goals and hopes were destroyed. This has to stop!
CONCLUSION: After 4 months of work I found one person in the Google forum who was willing to listen to my story and really felt my pain. He helped me to get my channel back by talking to his friend whose friend was a manager there. Lucky me!
I backupped all my videos, but opened a new channel in DTube today! PLEASE, take a look: https://d.tube/#!/c/sillyllamaz
