About Creator Purge
Creator Purge is a community-driven platform dedicated to documenting and raising awareness about erroneous YouTube channel terminations caused by AI moderation failures.
The Problem
Since late 2024, YouTube creators have experienced a surge in wrongful channel terminations. These automated decisions have affected thousands of content creators, many with substantial followings and years of content creation.
Common issues include:
- Instant automated appeal rejections with no human review
- False "associated account" flags linking unrelated channels
- Terminations based on alleged policy violations without prior warnings
- Lack of transparency in the decision-making process
- Inconsistent enforcement of community guidelines
- Minimal recourse for affected creators
Our Mission
Creator Purge serves as a centralized repository for creator termination stories. By collecting detailed accounts and evidence, we aim to:
- Document the scope and scale of AI moderation failures
- Provide a voice for affected creators
- Create transparency around YouTube's enforcement practices
- Support advocacy efforts for better creator protections
- Help creators understand their rights and options
Why This Matters
For many creators, YouTube isn't just a platform - it's their livelihood. A single automated decision can eliminate years of work, destroy communities, and devastate careers. The lack of human oversight and meaningful appeal processes leaves creators vulnerable and powerless.
By documenting these cases, we hope to drive meaningful change in how platforms handle content moderation and creator appeals.
