Ask HN: How to Contact YouTube?

Unfortunately many people are going through the same process these days. The only thing that seem to work is public support on Twitter. So send your complaint to @YouTube and tell your followers to do the same (if you can still contact them on some other platform).

So I did try this: https://twitter.com/gabnworba/status/1384242020659519494?s=2...

any likes or rts are appreciated but even with the youtube fanbase I had I don't think I'll be able to hit a big enough splash to get them to look my way.

I'd imagine I'd need thousands upon thousands of rt's to be noticed and I can't even get in touch with my youtube fanbase as... I no longer have a youtube.

One thing you should know is that YouTube (and other Google services) is really, really sensitive to things like scripts, bots and copyright content. They might have connected those 20 channels you created to your main account and yourself. After that they might have thought you were a spammer. Recently they even banned some people because they were automatically updating their titles using a script.

But they don't give feedback for why they ban someone so we will never know why they did it.
