Back in April 2022, however, Hutch\u2019s monetization on the website was temporarily suspended for \u201cinvalid traffic,\u201d causing him to spend over a year appealing the decision. Hutch revealed that he\u2019s been permanently banned from monetizing on YouTube on May 3, 2023, and he\u2019s not happy. Hutch hits out at Google following monetization ban In a series of tweets, Hutch shared his thoughts as well as a screenshot of the email he received from YouTube partner support. \u201cWell pals, YouTubeCreators asked AdSense to take yet another look at my permanent suspension for \u201cinvalid traffic\u201d and they have tripled down that I am responsible for what they detected on my channel. They seemingly do not believe that I could have been targeted,\u201d he said. In the email, YouTube revealed that they found \u201cinvalid traffic\u201d again in April 2023, causing them to completely disable Hutch\u2019s AdSense account. In a reply, Hutch hit out at Google for having \u201cno protections for creators\u201d who may be targeted by someone attempting to remove their monetization. He said: \u201cThe lesson that I have taken from this experience as a creator on the platform for 15 yrs is there are essentially no protections for creators should you find yourself the target of somebody who wants to have your ability to monetize removed. There\u2019s nothing you can do.\u201d The lesson that I have taken from this experience as a creator on the platform for 15 yrs is there are essentially no protections for creators should you find yourself the target of somebody who wants to have your ability to monetize removed. There\u2019s nothing you can do. \u2014 Hutch (@hutchinson) May 4, 2023 While it doesn\u2019t look great for Hutch at the moment, the YouTube legend did mention in a reply to another user that he can appeal the company\u2019s latest decision again in three months.
