In this commentary video, the host reviews five YouTube channels that have been terminated and explains how each creator navigated or attempted to bypass YouTube's policy that bans deleted‑channel owners from creating new accounts. He begins by stating the rule that once a channel is removed, the creator is prohibited from opening any new channel. He then details: (1) DramaAlert – Keemstar’s personal channel was terminated, leading him to create multiple DramaAlert accounts and ultimately claim in the channel description that he does not own the channel, a false statement used to avoid further bans; (2) MrTechnicalDifficult – after his main channel with over a million subscribers was terminated, his network negotiated a special agreement with YouTube allowing him to keep a secondary channel and create new ones without violating the terms; (3) Granty Games – after his 70k‑subscriber channel was taken down, he continued uploading under a new channel that lists his sister as the owner, effectively sidestepping the ban; (4) an anonymous spam channel that amassed 100k subscribers solely through comment spam before being removed for spam violations; and (5) GoldGlove – a creator whose 40k‑subscriber channel was terminated but later reinstated, illustrating that terminations can be reversed. The host invites viewers to suggest other examples and reflects on how creators exploit loopholes or receive reinstatements.

What's up guys, my last video I talked about how your channel could get terminated, the things you shouldn't do to make sure your channel never gets taken down, and someone left this comment which inspired this video. Now in case you don't know, if your channel is deleted, you cannot make another YouTube channel under any circumstances. It's just forbidden. So if you had a million subscribers and your channel's taken down, you're done. You, you just can't do YouTube anymore according to YouTube's terms of service. Now, after saying that, the first channel we're going to discuss is DramaAlert. You see, Keemstar used to have a personal channel, and that channel got taken down, and then he made DramaAlert. But then DramaAlert got terminated because Keemstar's personal channel got terminated, and he wasn't allowed to make a new YouTube account. And then he made another DramaAlert account which got up to 100K and YouTube took it down again. So to combat this, he made a third DramaAlert account, but in this account he did something a little bit tricky. In his channel description it says this: Daniel Keem, AKA Keemstar, does not own, access, or possess any part of this channel. He is a contracted content producer, which according to the YouTube terms of service and community guidelines is 100% okay. So pretty much the only reason his channel's not getting terminated anymore is because he's lying to YouTube. We all know Keemstar runs DramaAlert. DramaAlert, he's the only one who uploads to it. But if YouTube ever asks him who's the owner of the channel, he's gonna say his friend. He's gonna say his friend has 100% ownership of the channel, but we all know it's run by Keemstar. He's just doing that so it doesn't get terminated again. Next up we have MrTechnicalDifficult, and this is an interesting story because unlike other YouTubers, once their main channel got terminated, which his main channel was terminated, had over a million subscribers, was taken down, his network actually reached an agreement with YouTube and got YouTube to agree that he can make other YouTube channels and it would not violate their terms of service. Usually, like I previously stated, when your channel is deleted, all your channels are deleted. You can never own a YouTube channel again. Somehow his network worked out a deal with YouTube that he could, uh, you know, keep his secondary channel even though his main channel was deleted. YouTube said they would not take down his secondary channel and that he could continue to own YouTube channels even though he's had one terminated in the past. And I, I mean, that's crazy because I feel like a lot of YouTubers wish they could get that deal. And whatever network he's with, I mean, that's a pretty sick network if they can work out a deal like that. Next we have Granty Games. Now this is a channel you probably haven't heard of. For some reason, I don't watch hardly any GTA, but I used to watch this guy before he got terminated. He had over 70,000 subscribers and his channel got taken down. I'm not exactly sure why, I couldn't quite figure it out. But the way he got around this, because he still uploads to this day, he has right around 40K subs, so he's starting to recover. Um, I mean, if you ask me, if I had 70K subs and my channel got deleted, I would be pissed off. That would suck really bad. But he's back up to 40K, and the way he still runs a channel now is if you read the channel description, it says his sister owns this channel and that he has, you know, nothing to do with the channel. So that's pretty smart. I guess really, if your channel ever gets terminated, you can still be on YouTube. You can be like DramaAlert and say a friend is running your channel. You could be like Grant and just have your sister make the channel because apparently he's getting away with it. His channel hasn't been deleted again. And, uh, yeah, so I thought that was pretty interesting. The fourth channel we're gonna talk about is a channel that got 100,000 subscribers without ever posting a video. He did it through comment spam, and if you wanna learn about it, I did a video on it in the past. That video's gotten over 3,000 views. Pretty cool video if you want to check that out. But pretty much YouTube took the channel down, obviously because of spam. But I thought that was pretty interesting how the channel got 100,000 subscribers through just leaving comments on videos asking people to subscribe to him. The last channel we're going to talk about is GoldGlove, and the reason I'm putting him at number 5 is because I used to watch him back in the day. He had a channel with 40K subs, which is a lot of subs. I mean, I know he has over a million now, and the channel got terminated. But somehow they got the channel back. A lot of YouTubers get their channels randomly taken down and then they get it back, you know, a day or two later nowadays. So, um, yeah, he's number 5 on the list. GoldGloves going strong. He got his channel back, so there's nothing to worry about his main channel getting terminated because the previous one was terminated. And that's my top 5, or not really top 5, but those are 5 YouTubers that have had channels terminated. Let me know what you think and let me know if there's anyone you you think should have been in this video.
