Seemingly my little YouTube video has caused great offense to the Youtube hierarchy, as my Channel and access to youtube has been completely terminated with no reason given as to why.
Iāve been hearing about several cases of this sort of thing lately. One got it at least partly rescinded, but only by squawking loudly on X.
Thereās also Peertube. I have an account (not very much used yet) at Diode Zone . There are other instances as well.

Why do you think this is happening, AI blunders or something more sinister?
I canāt pretend to have a clue.

I cannot imagine that your channel or video violated any terms. Do you have an ad blocker activated though? If you do and youtube detects it, you can have your account banned orrespective of the channelās content.

Really? First Iāve heard of YouTube banning people for ad blockers. Blocking ad blockers and pushing Premium yes, but banning? That would just be insanely self-destructive.
(I use a blocker, but Iām also signed up for Premium. At the moment.)

Itās not exactly unheard of of social media platforms to make disastrous decisions. MySpaceā¦
Having said that, it doesnāt currently look that YouTube is going to lose over such decisions. There is no competition really (Vimeo tried, butā¦).

Consider yourself lucky that this happened very early on, before making many videos and earning many views, comments, subscribers, etc. Now you can decide if you want to appeal that ban, or take your content elsewhere, perhaps to a more friendly platform.

I have appealed though they say this will take at least 2 working days to process. 
Mainly Im pissed off about losing all my play lists, as until my little synth video I only used the account for watching other peoples videos.

If you get your account reinstated, it might still have everything as you left them.
