YouTube Just Nuked the Thailand Inner Circle Channel
Here’s What Happened and What’s Next
If you’ve been wondering what happened to the Thailand Inner Circle YouTube channel… welcome to the club.
On Friday, July 25, 2025, my entire channel: over 300 videos, nearly 100 live streams, more than 7,600 subscribers, 1 million+ views, was permanently deleted by YouTube without warning, without a single strike, and without any chance to fix or appeal anything in a meaningful way.
What Was the Reason?
Well, that depends on which canned reply you believe.
The first notice I received said the channel was terminated for “repeated violations of our sale of regulated goods policy.”
There was just one problem, I’ve never sold anything remotely regulated. Unless YouTube now considers t-shirts and coffee mugs a threat to public safety?
So I appealed…
Two hours later, I got a second email. This time, the reason had magically changed to “harmful and dangerous content.”
Again, no details. No examples. No timestamps. Just “Goodbye.”
This is after two years of building a respectful, informative, non-political channel that gave people honest insight into life, dating, nightlife, massage culture, and local travel in Thailand. I’ve always followed community guidelines to the best of my ability, as they are often vague. My channel was monetized, in good standing, and regularly passed manual reviews that overturned initial AI assessments.
So I appealed, again…
I found a way to file a second appeal that gave room to be more thoughtful and thorough in presenting my case. 2 to 3 minutes later I received this. Clearly not a single human looked at it, saw it or responded and still no insight or useful information on what the actual reason was and or content was that warranted the cancelation of the TIC channel.
So Why Was I Really Canceled?
That’s the million dollar question, literally.
This didn’t happen in a vacuum. Over the past six weeks, at least six other creators in the Thailand travel and lifestyle space have been taken down using the same vague excuses.
- No strikes
- No warnings
- No appeals that go anywhere, the second denied within minutes
- Just deleted
Meanwhile, search YouTube for “Thailand Inner Circle” and you’ll find:
- Secret Recordings Inside Clubs – Illegal
- Full On Adult Entertainment content – Illegal
- Others ripping off the Inner Circle Moniquer – Shitty
- Clickbait garbage with zero useful info – Expected and Normal
My respectful, massage shop tours and nightlife commentaries? Gone. But low effort, high shock value trash content? Thriving.

What YouTube Got Wrong (Besides Everything)
- This channel helped people: Period. It was and is honest, non-judgmental, and based on real world experience. It flattened the learning curve for hundreds if not thousands of men.
- This channel followed the rules: Never received a single strike or policy violation/ warning.
- Videos were demonetized unfairly multiple times: only to be overturned later by human reviewers. But by that time the damage is done, the shadow ban is in place and these videos never got any traction.
- This termination violates YouTube’s own three strike policy: they didn’t follow their own system of strikes.
- There’s no recourse: The initial appeal was denied within 2 hours, the second within minutes, both likely by automation. No chance to clarify. No accountability. As shown above a second appeal 5 days later almost instantly denied without cause.
What Happens Now?
I’m not giving up. If anything, this lit a fire under my ass.

Final Thoughts (For Now)
If you’ve ever watched one of my videos, dropped a comment, sent a message, joined a live stream, or just supported the content – thank you! The channel was never just about nightlife. It was about truth. Real talk. Real experiences. And the kind of stories no one else was telling.
YouTube nuked the channel, but they can’t nuke the community.
We keep going. We keep growing. And we do it on our own terms now.
Stay smart. Stay sharp. And be that guy.
See you on the other side.
It’s your boy JC, Peace Out
