YouTube BANNED Him for a Year Old Stream?!

YouTube BANNED Him for a Year Old Stream?!
YouTube just took down John A. Douglas — a beloved fantasy writer, YouTuber, and all-around great creator — for something he didn’t even do. In this video, we dive deep into the frustrating, broken system that allows YouTube to retroactively ban creators based on old livestreams… even if those streams happened before any rules were broken.
John A. Douglas had a guest on a livestream in 2023. That guest was later banned from YouTube. In 2025, John’s entire channel was deleted because of that guest. Yes, seriously. This is what YouTube is now.
🚨 This isn’t just about John — this could happen to any creator.
💬 Let me know in the comments: Do you think YouTube is still safe for creators? Is it time to move on to other platforms?
