9to5Google pointed out that many YouTube account holders have reported losing access to YouTube content. YouTube immediately followed up these reports with a support thread that confirmed that bugs existed and affected many aspects of the platform, such as access to paid features such as YouTube TV, YouTube Premium, and YouTube Music.

In addition, the errors also affected other YouTube functions, such as playlists. Along with the deletion of certain channels, these errors also resulted in videos being removed from the platform. Affected users reportedly received unclear instructions from YouTube that ultimately did not help restore their accounts. Additionally, another user claimed that there was no way to appeal YouTube's decision.

“This is incredibly annoying since I pay for premium,” wrote one commenter

“If your channel was mistakenly removed and restored, you may notice that some content, such as: B. Playlists are missing.“It was said in YouTube’s support thread.”Don't worry – this is just a delay and all your content will be restored soon.“

“We are pleased to announce that all channels that were mistakenly removed for spam and fraudulent practices have been fully restored! This includes access to all subscriptions (YouTube TV, YouTube Premium, YouTube Music). We're working on getting the last few videos back up. Thank you for your understanding! We know this has been a frustrating experience. Thank you for your patience as we resolve this issue.” says an update from YouTube on October 4th
