Had a bot account submit false takedowns on every single one of my videos, and because youtube is run by bots, my channel was in an instant completely deleted. I have backups of everything so can re-upload onto a new channel at some point, but for now I just don't have the motivation to continue. Things like this ruin the passion to create anything.

Have appealed to youtube, but once again, the appeal system is just yelling into the void so yet another bot can just auto-reply "request denied"


UPDATE: As expected my appeal was completely ignored and the account has been permanently removed. I'm just done, really.
