Hello @ATT can you explain why my internet was shut off even after I talked to an agent a week ago to make sure it wouldn't get shut off before it switched to my new home? And why your agents can't turn it back on?
This is a mistake @YouTube. @GrimmGreen has done nothing except try to help educate people and convice them to quit smoking for over a decade. I wouldnt even be a paid youtuber watcher without his channel. I will be cancleling my youtube paid subscription if he is not reinstated
After 16 years, my @YouTube channel (GrimmGreen) was terminated today with no real explanation.
I’ve built my content around harm reduction, helping adult smokers quit, and advocating for science-based policies.
This feels like a huge mistake. If you believe in THR, free speech, and the mission we’ve been on, please help me get YouTube’s attention.
@TeamYouTube I’m asking for a real human to review my case.
I’ve never promoted anything illegal. I’ve never targeted youth. I’ve worked tirelessly to be a responsible voice in the vaping and harm reduction space. But like many creators in this space, it seems I’ve been swept up in an overly aggressive moderation wave.

@TeamYouTube do the right thing and have a real human review his case.
He has never promoted anything illegal. He has never targeted youth. Here’s worked tirelessly to be a responsible voice in the vaping and harm reduction space.

Deplatforming one of the most responsible voices in tobacco harm reduction sends a chilling message.
Education ≠ promotion.
Science ≠ targeting youth.
@TeamYouTube, please review this case—fairly and transparently.

@TeamYouTube this is so wrong. Get a real human to review this. This is not “protecting the community” by removing @GrimmGreen s channel

I fully support @GrimmGreen and strongly denounce the removal of his channel. Through his content, not only I but also people close to me have made positive changes to our health by quiting smoking. This is very concerning @TeamYouTube @YouTube

@YouTube I stopped cigarettes November 1, 2016 @GrimmGreen helped me on my journey to improving my health. He has helped tens of thousands of people on their journeys. Get a human involved and talk to Nick. He deserves to at least defend himself to a person not some broken AI.

Removing @GrimmGreen from YouTube is a travesty and mockery of all content creators. YouTube has turned it's back on the very people who made it what it is today. And made the owners very very rich. Nick is respectful, honest, and has followed all of your insane rules. Fix this!!

Today @YouTube channel (GrimmGreen) was terminated. He started his channel in 2009. I started watching him then and continued until today when it was removed. I feel this is unjustified as I have never seen GrimmGreen post anything that was offensive, unlawful or untruthful.

Terrible mistake @TeamYouTube you got to fix it. @GrimmGreen is just a good man, trying to help people. @YouTube

Gosh @TeamYouTube I've been following this guy for more than 10 years. What are you doing? He's literally one of the most considered well intentioned guys out there.
Andrew Aring (not a bot) retweeted
So sorry for you Nick, this is some serious feked up shit when you can be treated like this for helping people choose a healthier lifestyle and all the advocacy work that you do. So hope that @TeamYouTube sort this out for you ASAP.
Andrew Aring (not a bot) retweeted
Hey @TeamYouTube please work with @GrimmGreen to restore his channel. Not only has he helped me and countless other people to give up smoking, but he’s built a diverse and welcoming community on You Tube. He’s one of the good guys! Please step in and sort this out ❤️

@TeamYouTube Please explain how and why a creator that wants nothing but to help smokers quit smoking deserves to have their channel deleted. Give this saint of a man the dignity of having an actual human review this decision.

I'm hoping to get some help and visibility on this post for YouTube. I want this done in a professional and respectful manner. No RAGE, no aggression. This is a calm and respectful campaign.
If i've ever helped you, i'm asking for your help now. 👇

If you run a business, write books, @YouTubeCreators, do research, are an academic, provide a platform like @YouTube, you rely on consumers.
I haven’t changed my 2019 profile pic for ages because I am proud to have shared the stage with consumers - people like @GrimmGreen and many others who used vaping to stop smoking and then set out to help others avoid the diseases and early death associated with smoking 🚬. The lives being saved by switching to vaping will be in the millions. It’s made possible by this partnership between health drs, researchers and consumers, especially consumer experts like @GrimmGreen.
The number of people who have stopped smoking and thus avoided the misery of emphysema or lung cancer because of @GrimmGreen’s @YouTube channel would be in the hundreds of thousands! He gave people the truth about the products and the confidence to switch. @TeamYouTube your AI 🤖 has made a serious mistake terminating his channel!😡 Or is your problem Enshittification explained in Cory Doctorow’s book by the same name which exposes the way monopoly platforms are ripping off both creators and consumers. If you fail your consumers, someone else like @elonmusk will step in.
Please have a human with a heart and good soul review this termination. @YouTube you’ve made a mistake.

So @YouTube and @TeamYouTube HAVE to be seeing all the posts and reposts and replies literally everywhere calling them out right? Creators are just getting ignored?
You think @TeamYouTube ever visits the r/YouTube subreddit?

Do you really think it's weird that I want to try to save a YouTube channel I spent 16 years of my life building? Your gut reaction is to abandon ship the moment things get really hard? Sorry I was raised to "fight the man" not "roll over for the man"
Andrew Aring (not a bot) retweeted
I hate that this works, but it does -going viral is, unfortunately, the only way now
Hoping for major updates to YouTube’s moderation process soon
Meanwhile @TeamYouTube check this case:
Hello @TeamYouTube, serious question:
Is making a public X's post and going viral the only way to get a REAL human review?
Your automated system just destroyed my full-time, 2-year career.
2 channels terminated (~1.25M subs total)
Reason: "Spam"
My record: Flawless. ZERO warnings.
My appeal: "Manually reviewed" & rejected in UNDER 5 MINUTES.
How is this a fair process?
You already admitted that your AI has been falsely banning creators.
I’m just asking for the same real human review others received.
@TeamYouTube please check my case:
