20 ANS DE VIDÉOS… YOUTUBE REFUSE MON APPEL, JE VAIS PRESQUE TOUT SUPPRIMER

Psyhodelik’s Channel Changes

Psyhodelik says YouTube demonetized both of his channels and rejected his appeal. He says the platform would not identify which videos or passages violated its rules, leaving him unsure what to change. He expects to be able to request monetization again near the end of December, after a hate-speech warning expires.

In response, he is deleting most of his older videos—roughly 90%, by his estimate—and plans to rebuild the channel with a smaller selection of content. He says the decision is partly a response to YouTube’s actions and what he describes as coordinated mass reporting, but also an opportunity to remove old controversies and videos that continue to attract criticism.

He has saved some material to hard drives and archived much of it elsewhere, though not everything is backed up. Because YouTube limits how many videos can be deleted at once, the process is gradual.

Views on YouTube and Future Plans

Psyhodelik is frustrated by what he sees as opaque and increasingly strict moderation, and worries that his channels could be removed entirely. He argues that creators should receive more specific explanations of rule violations.

He says he will continue making videos, possibly in a more measured style or on other platforms, while remaining outspoken. He also thanks viewers for supporting him and his family while he is demonetized, describing the decision to delete videos as painful but somewhat relieving.
