RiceGum posted a screenshot of YouTube’s email over the matter, and admitted that his upload schedule was sparse due to this very problem.

“The reason I hardly ever upload is because every video I make seems to always get restricted or monetized,” he explained in a now-deleted Tweet. “YouTube hates me.”

The Team YouTube Twitter account responded to RiceGum’s frustrations and admitted that the error had been on their side, going on to re-upload the video to his channel.

However, that wasn’t the end of it – the video was taken down a second time, much to Team YouTube’s apparent surprise.

“Whatttt, yes checking!” they replied.

His complaints are a small drop in the slew of issues YouTubers have taken up with the platform. Other large-scale creators like Philip DeFranco have similarly addressed the problem, with an array of his uploads having been both suppressed and demonetized.

However, this isn’t just a problem for popular YouTubers – small-time creators are likewise harmed by YouTube’s algorithm, and the issue is one that continues to be addressed as more and more creators come forward about the dilemma.
