YouTuber messyourself is upset with the platform after his channel, which has nearly 7 million subscribers, lost its ability to earn money from ads. As a result, he’s taking down all of his videos.
MessYourself, a popular YouTuber known for his reaction and gaming videos, recently announced that YouTube had stopped allowing him to earn money from his channel after 12 years. He has over 6.9 million subscribers.
He explained on X that YouTube removed his ability to earn money from his videos. They’re requiring him to remove all his existing content without specifying which videos are problematic, after he’d dedicated 12 years and generated 3 billion views on the platform. He feels abandoned by a site he invested so much time and effort into.
MessYourself also posted that he’d spoken to YouTube but “it didn’t help” his situation.
I stopped making gaming videos for YouTube because they revoked my ability to earn money from them. They’re requiring me to remove all my existing content without explaining what specifically violates their policies. After 12 years and 3 billion views, it feels incredibly unfair to be treated this way – like all my effort was for nothing.

MessYourself quits YouTube after being demonetized
MessYourself said they contacted YouTube support but didn’t receive a helpful response. As a result, they’ve decided to delete all of their YouTube channels and are letting viewers enjoy their videos while they’re still available.
I’m taking a break from YouTube and won’t be posting new content there anymore. I’m working on organizing everything I’ve already created and will share it on other platforms. I’ve stopped posting on YouTube permanently, after previously taking a break. It’s been a long run – over 3 billion views!
I reached out to YouTube support, but they weren’t able to help with my issue. Because of this, I’ve decided to delete all of my YouTube channels. I’m finished with the platform. Please watch my videos while they’re still available. I’ll be working to save my content and repost it elsewhere.

It’s not just MessYourself dealing with problems on YouTube lately. I remember seeing this whole thing with SplashPlate – someone stole his content, he got banned, and then YouTube eventually reinstated him. It was a pretty wild ride to watch unfold.
Several well-known animators, some of whom have had their YouTube channels penalized with demonetization or suspension, have criticized YouTube’s use of artificial intelligence for content moderation.
MoistCr1TiKaL criticized YouTube CEO Neal Mohan’s decision to add more AI tools to the platform, calling it “delusional.” He argued that AI shouldn’t have the power to terminate channels, stating that it’s illogical for YouTube to give AI the authority to ban people. According to the YouTube creator, AI should not be able to act as judge, jury, and executioner.
Mohan has pledged to crack down on low-quality AI-generated content, and such content is increasingly being prohibited.
