YouTube Rolls Out Second-Chance Program for Terminated Creators

YouTube said Thursday that some previously terminated creators can request a new channel on the platform. "We know many terminated creators deserve a second chance," though not every type of channel termination will be eligible, it said. Instead of getting previous content and subscribers back, the new channel "is a fresh start" where creators "can build back your community." YouTube said the new channel pilot won’t be available to those who were terminated for copyright infringement or who violated certain creator policies.
