The YouTube channel @jondrinkswater was suspended by YouTube for vague "violations" of the spam policy. His appeal was rejected in three minutes by a bot and he lost thousands of videos because @TeamYouTube can't be bothered to review. Shameful.

He used deceptive ways to become a top local guide and then after getting removed from the program knowingly he still went and then posted it online.
Maybe this was @Google striking back.
