It seems that YouTube has finally fixed the issue with Captain Kori’s YouTube channel Kraken the Box. Previously we reported on how the ill child wanted to reach 100k YouTube subscribers and he received the help of Johnny Depp to do it. Yesterday his channel was suddenly removed due to “violations of ToS (Terms of service.) After an outpouring of support online the channel is back up.
I predicted yesterday that it could have been YouTube’s algorithm flagging the channel as suspicious with the amount of growth in just a few days. I’m not sure what the cause was, but I do think it was a mistake of the system.
He’s back!
POWER OF THE INTERNET STRIKES AGAIN! Kori from Kraken the Box is BACK! Thank you @youtube @YouTubeCreators @TeamYouTube for listening to everyone and fixing this!

@TeamYouTube while I’m so relieved that #CaptainKori had his @YouTube channel restored, this never should have happened in the first place. Please make this right and be sure that he has his play button by Christmas 💖🙏 pic.twitter.com/PW4wIylFH2

Agreed. Play Buttons can take awhile to be verified and delivered. I hope they can speed up the process for him. Given the outpouring of support it seems pretty clear the subscribers are legitimate.
