  1. Funny you mentioned a smaller channel with around 80k getting struck right off YouTube, and how it would feel! That describes me exactly, about 5 weeks ago! I appealed, and got rejected. There was no way to contact anyone at YouTube. I received no warnings. There was no explanation. ("severe or multiple violations of the TOS"). I honestly had no idea what I did wrong. I was devastated. This is my income. Not only do I LIKE using YouTube, but I NEED to, for my livelihood. It was all ripped right out from me, with no explanation, and no way for me to talk to anyone. I no longer had access to partner support. Luckily, sometime over a year ago, there was some kind of Partnership Creator Help Program in which a YouTube employee reached out to me to take a paid survey. He had contacted me via a real email address at YouTube (not a "noreply" one). Out of desperation, I sent him an email asking for help, and he actually answered me! He said he no longer worked in that department, but he would forward my email up to someone with some authority (not his exact words, but similar). After one day, my channel came back! I thank that man in my head almost every day since then. Its a sickening feeling to see 9 years worth of irreplaceable work and my monthly income simply disappear with no reason and no recourse. I couldn't even comment on anyone's videos, since I no longer had a YouTube ID! If not for that email I had saved, and that single person who helped me, I dont know what I would have done - it's a good bet that I wouldn't have my channel back. I STILL have not gotten a reason for their action. Once I was re-activated, I contacted Partner Support and asked for clarification. For one reason, just to not make the same mistake again. For whatever reason, YouTube refuses to say exactly what my issue was. But I'm not complaining, I'm thankful to get my channel back. That was one depressing week.....

  2. Benjamin Esposti Thanks, I will check out your channel. I set up an account at bitchute when Styx first mentioned it several videos ago, and went back again just recently, but it always rejects my uploads saying they're not supported. I've tried both mp4 and avchd, both 1080 60fps. Neither works.

  3. Ashers It's actually 1000's haha!!! I did have a couple that had some audible background music for a few seconds, but the copyright owner claimed the monetization, and all was supposedly good, according to yt. I was always in "good standing" and never had any strikes. Thx for commenting.

  5. RocketSurgeon Wow, interesting! I certainly don't know right off the top of my head, but I'll look into it and see if I can figure some answers for you.
