Our channel’s future is at risk – can you help us by signing a petition?
Dear friends,
A quick update on where things stand with the channel.
As many of you know, YouTube has demonetized Nocturnal Tales, classifying our long-form stories as “inauthentic / mass-produced content.” We appealed, but the decision was upheld with very generic language and no concrete examples of what we’re supposed to change.
For us, this is not just a line in an email. Nocturnal Tales is our full-time work and the way we support our family. More importantly, we know from your messages that these stories have become part of many people’s evenings and routines.
Because of that, we are now considering a second, more structured appeal – possibly with legal support or at least with more formal documentation. We are still exploring our options, but one thing is already clear: the more clearly we can show what this channel means to real listeners, the better our chances of being taken seriously.
That’s why we’ve created a petition on Change.org:
If you wish to help, you can sign it and, above all, add a short note in your own words about:
How long you’ve been listening,
When and how you use the stories (to sleep, to calm anxiety, for company at night, etc.),
Why you feel that Nocturnal Tales is clearly not “mass-produced” filler, but careful, high-effort storytelling.
We will not use this petition to attack or harass anyone at YouTube. The goal is simply to gather visible, honest testimony that shows there is a real community here and that the content is meaningful to you.
There is absolutely no obligation. If all you can do is keep listening on the platforms where we are still able to earn a living, that already helps more than you know. But if you have a few minutes to add your name and a sentence or two, it could give real weight to whatever next steps we take.
Thank you, sincerely, for standing by us through all of this. We will keep you updated as things move forward.
With gratitude, Nicolas and Dora
Note : Signing is 100% free. Change.org may ask you to pay to “boost” the petition, but that money goes to Change.org, not to us – please don’t feel obliged to pay anything.
