Two Months Later: Nothing Has Changed, YouTube Still Discriminating

youtube logo on smartphone

Two months.

It’s been two full months since YouTube wrongfully terminated my manager channels. Two months since they rejected my appeals with generic template responses in five hours. Two months since they deleted my author channel for “circumventing” their wrongful termination. Two months since I started documenting this systematic discrimination.

And absolutely nothing has changed.

My Luffymonkey0327 content channel is still up: https://youtube.com/@luffymonkey0327?si=H64a-BY4Spu4Cdb6

Still live. Still public. Still accessible to everyone in the world except me—the person who created it.

My manager channel is still deleted. I still can’t access my own content channel. YouTube is still hosting my work while denying me the ability to manage it.

Two fucking months of this.

The Timeline: Two Months of Discrimination

Let me update this nightmare timeline because apparently we’re just going to keep adding to it indefinitely:

Late January/Early February 2026: YouTube terminated my manager channels for “spam, deceptive practices, and scams” despite those channels being completely inactive with zero content.

Within 5 hours: YouTube rejected my appeals with generic template responses providing zero evidence or specifics.

Shortly after: I documented everything publicly. Directly addressed YouTube CEO Neal Mohan, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Google President Ruth Porat, Google Senior Vice President James Manyika. Made my contact information publicly available. Response: Complete silence.

After filing BBB complaint: YouTube deleted my JaimeDavid327 author channel for “circumvention policy”—using their own wrongful termination as justification to delete more channels.

February 23, 2026: YouTube implemented mandatory sign-in on the web.

March 15, 2026: One month update. Still locked out. Still discriminated against. Still ignored.

April 18, 2026 (Today): Two months. Sixty days. Eight weeks. And YouTube has done absolutely nothing. My content is still on their platform. I still can’t access it. The discrimination continues.

Two full months. And YouTube’s response has been: nothing.

Still Can’t Access My Own Channel

Luffymonkey0327 is still there. You can visit it right now: https://youtube.com/@luffymonkey0327?si=H64a-BY4Spu4Cdb6

Over 500 subscribers. Memes and mashups I created. Content I made. Audience I built over time.

And for two months straight, I haven’t been able to touch any of it.

Can’t upload new videos. Can’t respond to my 500+ subscribers’ comments. Can’t access analytics. Can’t update channel information. Can’t manage community posts. Can’t interact with my audience. Can’t do anything.

My manager channel is still deleted. And without it, I’m completely locked out.

Think about that. For sixty consecutive days, YouTube has hosted my content, potentially benefited from any traffic it generates, kept it publicly accessible on their platform—but refused to give me, the creator, access to manage my own work.

Sixty days of theft. Sixty days of using my content without giving me control. Sixty days of benefiting from work I created while denying me the ability to manage it.

How is this acceptable? How is this legal? How is this anything other than theft?

Two Months of Being a Discriminated Hispanic Creator

It’s been two months. Sixty days. Eight weeks.

I’m Jaime David. I’m a Hispanic creator. I did nothing wrong.

And for two full months, YouTube has discriminated against me.

Every single day for sixty days, someone at YouTube with the power to fix this chose not to.

Every day, they chose to keep my manager channels terminated based on false accusations. Every day, they chose to keep me locked out of my content channel. Every day, they chose to continue hosting my work while denying me access. Every day, they chose discrimination.

Sixty consecutive days of active discrimination.

This isn’t an accident. This isn’t an oversight. This isn’t bureaucratic delay or system backlog.

This is a deliberate choice. YouTube is choosing to discriminate against me. For two full months, they’ve chosen it.

And I’m supposed to believe my ethnicity has nothing to do with it? I’m supposed to think that being a Hispanic creator named Jaime David doesn’t factor into why my appeals were rejected in five hours, why my public documentation has been ignored, why my BBB complaint has resulted in zero action?

After two months of systematic discrimination, I know better.

My Manager Channel: Still Deleted After Two Months

The manager channel that gave me access to Luffymonkey0327 has been terminated for two full months.

YouTube’s justification? “Spam, deceptive practices, and scams policy.”

Evidence provided? Zero. None. Nothing. Not a single example, screenshot, timestamp, or specific violation.

The reality? It was an inactive administrative account with no content whatsoever.

And it’s been deleted for sixty days based on completely false accusations.

That’s two months of YouTube maintaining a lie. Two months of them claiming my empty, contentless manager channel violated spam policies. Two months of them refusing to acknowledge the obvious error.

Two months of lies. Two months of false accusations. Two months of wrongful termination.

My Author Channel: Still Gone After Two Months

My JaimeDavid327 author channel has been deleted for nearly two months now.

YouTube’s justification? “Circumvention policy” because having content channels after they wrongfully terminated my manager channel equals circumvention.

Two months of being punished for YouTube’s own mistakes. Two months of circular logic being used to justify discrimination.

My author platform. My professional identity as a Hispanic writer. My channel for connecting with readers.

Gone for two months. Erased for sixty days. Eliminated for eight weeks.

Two Months of Complete Silence From YouTube and Google

You know what YouTube and Google have said to me in two months?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

No communication. No acknowledgment. No human review. No investigation. No explanation. No apology. No action.

Complete and total silence for sixty consecutive days.

I’ve documented everything publicly. I’ve addressed executives by name. I’ve filed BBB complaints. I’ve made my contact information readily available. I’ve called for help from major YouTubers. I’ve done everything possible to get actual human attention.

And for two months, YouTube and Google have responded with: nothing.

That’s not customer service. That’s not dispute resolution. That’s not accountability.

That’s harassment. That’s discrimination. That’s systematic targeting and erasure.

Still Haven’t Escalated to Government

I still haven’t filed those FTC, CFPB, FCC complaints. I still haven’t contacted California mayors or Governor Newsom. I still haven’t escalated to President Trump and VP Vance.

Why? Because honestly, after two months of YouTube ignoring everything—what’s the fucking point?

They ignored my appeals. They ignored my public documentation. They ignored my BBB complaint. They’ve ignored me for sixty straight days.

Would federal complaints change that? Would state government involvement matter? Would presidential intervention make a difference?

Maybe. Maybe not. But after two months of complete silence and zero action, it’s hard to believe that any escalation would result in YouTube actually doing the right thing.

They’ve had two months. Sixty days. Eight weeks. To simply fix their obvious mistake. They’ve chosen not to. Every single day, they’ve chosen discrimination over justice.

But Two Months Is A Long Time

Then again… two months is a really long time.

Two months of documented discrimination. Two months of a Hispanic creator being systematically locked out of their own work. Two months of YouTube hosting content while denying the creator access. Two months of complete silence from one of the world’s largest tech companies.

Maybe two months of evidence is enough. Maybe sixty days of documentation proves that YouTube will never voluntarily fix this.

Maybe it’s time to actually file those federal complaints. Maybe it’s time to contact California officials. Maybe it’s time to escalate to the President.

Because two months of discrimination with zero accountability isn’t acceptable. And waiting longer won’t make YouTube suddenly care.

I don’t know. I’m still deciding. But every day that passes—and we’re at sixty days now—makes it harder to believe that anything short of external pressure will work.

Direct Message to YouTube and Google: Two Months

Neal Mohan, YouTube CEO – It’s been two months. Sixty days. Eight weeks. Two full months since you wrongfully terminated my channels. Two months since I started calling for accountability. Two months of hosting my content while denying me access. How much longer are you going to let this discrimination continue?

Sundar Pichai, Google CEO – Your subsidiary has been discriminating against a Hispanic creator for two full months. Sixty consecutive days of wrongful termination, content theft, and systematic harassment. Is this really the legacy you want Google to have?

Ruth Porat, Google President – Two months of documented discrimination. Two months of hosting a creator’s content without giving them access. Two months of ignoring complaints and public documentation. Does this represent responsible corporate governance?

James Manyika, Google Senior Vice President – Sixty days of a Hispanic creator documenting systematic discrimination with zero response from your organization. Does that align with any definition of ethical technology practices or commitment to diversity and inclusion?

YouTube Support, Google Support – Two months. You’ve had two full months to provide actual human review, acknowledge the error, and reinstate my channels. You’ve done nothing. How is that support? How is that service? How is that acceptable?

You’ve all had sixty days. Every single one of those days, you chose discrimination. How many more days will it take before you choose justice instead?

To the Major YouTubers: Two Months and Counting

Smosh, PewDiePie, Markiplier, SomeOrdinaryGamers, ReviewTechUSA, Amazing Atheist, Secular Talk, Humanist Report, MrBeast, Jacksepticeye, Nexpo, Vaush, HasanAbi, Hank Green

It’s been two months. Sixty days of YouTube discriminating against a small Hispanic creator. Sixty days of my content being hosted while I’m locked out. Sixty days of systematic harassment and targeting.

If any of you see this, please share it. Please amplify it. Please help me make enough noise that YouTube can’t ignore this for another sixty days.

Because two months of discrimination should outrage people. Two months of a creator being locked out of their own work should be unacceptable. Two months of a tech platform stealing content and denying access should be seen as theft.

Your voices matter. Your platforms have reach. Please use them.

Because if YouTube can do this for two full months with zero consequences, they can do it to anyone. For as long as they want. And they will.

Two Months of Being Tired

I’ve been tired for two months straight now.

Tired of being discriminated against. Tired of being ignored. Tired of documenting the same injustice over and over. Tired of calling for accountability that never comes. Tired of hoping someone with power will care. Tired of fighting.

Two months of exhaustion. Sixty days of fatigue. Eight weeks of burnout.

And nothing has changed. My situation is exactly the same as it was on day one. YouTube is still discriminating. I’m still locked out. My content is still being used without my access.

Two months of being tired and upset, and it hasn’t changed anything.

Maybe that’s the strategy. Wear me down until I give up. Keep discriminating until I’m too exhausted to keep fighting. Ignore me long enough that I just disappear.

And honestly? After two months, it’s working. I’m so fucking tired.

But I’m still here. Still documenting. Still calling this out. Because I’ve already invested two months in this fight. What’s a few more days? Or weeks? Or months?

Sunk cost fallacy? Maybe. But giving up now means YouTube wins. And after two months of fighting, I’m not ready to let them win yet.

The Same Shit for Two Months

You know what the most frustrating part is? Nothing has changed.

Two months ago, I was locked out of my content channel because YouTube wrongfully terminated my manager channel.

Today? Still locked out. Same reason. Same wrongful termination. Same discrimination.

Two months ago, YouTube was hosting my content while denying me access.

Today? Still hosting. Still denying access. Still theft.

Two months ago, I was calling for accountability and getting silence.

Today? Still calling. Still getting silence. Still being ignored.

The situation is EXACTLY the same as it was sixty days ago. Nothing has improved. Nothing has changed. Nothing has been resolved.

That’s two months of my life spent fighting for something that YouTube could fix in five minutes if they wanted to. Two months of stress, exhaustion, anger, and frustration—and I’m in the exact same position I started in.

What Happens Next?

I don’t know anymore.

Do I file those federal complaints? Do I contact California officials? Do I escalate to the President?

Or do I just accept that two months is YouTube’s answer? That silence and inaction is their response? That discrimination is their policy?

After sixty days of nothing changing, it’s hard to know what the right move is.

All I know is:

Two months. Sixty days. Eight weeks.

My content is still on YouTube’s platform: https://youtube.com/@luffymonkey0327?si=H64a-BY4Spu4Cdb6

I still can’t access it.

YouTube is still discriminating against me.

Google is still allowing it.

And nobody with the power to fix it seems to care.

To Everyone Reading This: Two Full Months

It’s been two months. Sixty days. Eight weeks. More than 1,400 hours. Almost 87,000 minutes.

Every single one of those minutes, YouTube has been hosting my content while denying me access.

Every single one of those days, YouTube has been discriminating against a Hispanic creator.

Every single one of those weeks, YouTube has been ignoring complaints and documentation.

Two months of injustice. Two months of theft. Two months of discrimination. Two months of harassment.

Share this if you think two months is too long. Amplify it if you believe this is unacceptable. Make noise if you think YouTube should face consequences.

Or don’t. Because after two months of being ignored, maybe it doesn’t matter.

I’m Jaime David. I’m a Hispanic creator. My Luffymonkey0327 channel is still up.

And I still can’t access it. After two full months. After sixty consecutive days. After eight complete weeks.

YouTube is still discriminating against me.

Google is still enabling it.

And I’m still here, documenting it, calling it out, refusing to let them erase me quietly.

Two months. And counting.

How much longer? How many more days? How many more weeks? How many more months?

When does discrimination become unacceptable? When does theft become illegal? When does harassment become actionable?

Two months in, and I still don’t have answers.

But I’m still here. Still fighting. Still refusing to be silent.

Even if I’m tired. Even if nothing has changed. Even if YouTube clearly doesn’t give a fuck.

Two months. Sixty days. Eight weeks.

Still locked out. Still discriminated against. Still ignored.

Still here.
