I've been trying to get a small Anime and Gaming Commentary channel up and running, and I have been shadow-banned by YouTube's "Trust and Safety team" on a basis of their senseless prejudice against my personal religious views.
For anyone interested, you can hear the whole story here:
Frankly, this treatment is appalling. It's not like I've been some stiff-necked hyper-judgmental evangelical nutcase for example. I've barely said anything apart from the bare necessities of communication to establish an open friendship and relationship with my viewers and subscribers - I highly value them, so I practice openness and accountability and share everything with them. None of those people seemed to have a problem with my content - As far as I can tell my viewers and subscribers loved what I was doing. Only these YouTube moderators seem to have an issue.
If anyone wants to help, hearing the story and sharing the video to increase exposure on this helps. Now I'm frustrated. This is my Anime and Gaming Commentary channel, and I am now forced by YouTube to produce videos of a "political content" to explain and address what they are doing. I don't even like making videos like that in this channel.

I'm really upset about this. The time I was going to dedicate to some more Tree of Savior videos as well as a commentary on the latest One Piece spoilers has been delayed now to make 3 videos explaining this situation.
This is not the first time that they have done this. Apart from the many thousands of other small YouTuber accounts that have been shadow banned, they even tried to interfere with the famous YouTuber Coryxkenshin's channel a while ago. He mentioned this in a video called: "YouTube: Racism and Favortism".
I did not even hear about this Hutts guy until recently, I don't know what he did that crossed YouTube but they won't even pay him.
All this is making that team look more and more dubious and scummy.
