YouTube fixes glitch that wrongly removed accounts, deleted videos
YouTube confirmed Friday that a bug mistakenly removing seemingly thousands of accounts wrongly marked as sharing spam and deceptive content was finally fixed.
The problem started Thursday afternoon, 9to5Google reported, when non-content creators, including paid subscribers, complained that they had lost access to YouTube content.
YouTube eventually confirmed the issue in a support thread, promising that teams were “continuing to work on reinstating all removed channels” and “access to paid subscriptions” like YouTube TV, YouTube Premium, and YouTube Music.
