Tech YouTuber irate as AI “wrongfully” terminates account with 350K+ subscribers

Popular tech YouTuber Enderman recently lost several accounts, each with a large following of hundreds of thousands of subscribers. They believe these accounts were incorrectly terminated by an automated system – specifically, artificial intelligence – without any review by a person.

Even though Enderman’s main YouTube channel has more than 350,000 subscribers, they started to worry about their presence on the platform when one of their other channels was suddenly shut down.

A separate YouTube account was unexpectedly removed for supposedly breaking the platform’s rules. The issue stemmed from it being linked to a channel that used a language other than English and had received at least three copyright warnings. The account’s owner, Enderman, had no idea it existed, or what language it used.

Following this, they released a video on November 3rd to let their followers know their primary account was at risk. Unfortunately, their prediction came true, and they attributed the issue to YouTube’s increasing use of artificial intelligence.

The years 2016 to 2025 hold a special place in my heart. I cherish the relationships I’ve built and the joy I experienced creating videos. I don’t want all that work to be lost. Honestly, the future of this channel depends on someone stepping in to help, especially with everything happening with AI.

YouTuber Enderman has accounts terminated

The content creator, who focuses on technology, publicly criticized YouTube’s choices in a video uploaded on November 3rd. That video has since been shared on other websites.

They stated that YouTube incorrectly flagged their channel, claiming it was linked to another channel that had been shut down due to multiple copyright violations. They added, frustrated, that they have no idea which channel YouTube is referring to.

Enderman believes AI caused his YouTube accounts to be wrongly terminated. He says he couldn’t reach a real person on YouTube’s support team, and that the AI system incorrectly connected his second channel to one based in another country, leading to the account closures.

I was shocked to learn that AI could authorize such a severe action like completely removing a channel. It’s disappointing to have things end so suddenly, and honestly, I’m feeling completely discouraged. I’m very disappointed with YouTube.

As a long-time viewer, it was really interesting to hear Enderman talk about how everyone should think of YouTube as something extra, not their main source of income. They basically said we should always be prepared for the platform to just vanish one day! They’ve personally dealt with issues where YouTube’s automated systems unfairly flagged their content, and they worry other creators could face the same thing – getting unfairly ‘bullied’ by the AI.

YouTube hasn’t officially responded to this issue yet. TopMob contacted them for a statement, but hadn’t received one as of this moment.

While the situation unfolds, fans are saving copies of Enderman’s videos to prevent them from being lost forever.
