Google-owned YouTube in a latest update said it has restored all the channels and most of the videos that were removed due to technical glitches or bugs.
After a bug incorrectly led to some channels being marked for spam and removed, YouTube began working on a fix.
“We are pleased to report that all channels and most videos that were erroneously removed have been reinstated and subscriptions reinstated (we are still Working on the last few, stay with us).”
Happy to report that all channels and most of the wrongly deleted videos have been restored and subscriptions reinstated (we’re still working on the last few, stay with us!!). We know this has caused some disruption, and we appreciate your patience while we resolve this ❤️?

“We know this has caused some disruption and we appreciate your patience while we resolve this,” the company said.
The Google-owned company previously said that their teams are “still working on restoring access to wrongly removed channels and subscriptions”.
“We are sorry for the trouble! Some content like playlists may be delayed, but it’s all coming back. Thank you for your patience while we work on this,” the company had mentioned in a post on X.
The YouTube channels were wrongly removed due to “spam and deceptive practices”. This included access to all subscriptions (YouTube TV, YouTube Premium, YouTube Music).
The company also noted that some YouTube creators may be missing certain content, such as playlists. But they too will be reinstated soon, the company said.
The original notice and subsequent updates on the support page are addressed to “content creators”.
However, some non-content creators are unable to access their YouTube account, watch YouTube videos, or even listen to YouTube music.
According to reports, if some paid subscriptions like YouTube Premium are not available, saved content cannot be viewed, including playlists.
However, YouTube did not confirm how many users were affected by the technical glitch.
