Hi there everyone My apologies for this long message. Wondering if I could get some advice. As I am really confused, did my activity on my channel yesterday trigger YouTube's monitoring systems to remove the channel, or I unknowingly violated something they are strict about? Is there any easy way of finding out? Than an appeal that gave me a rejection. :o( I thought I found my niche and was working hard the past 2 months, and it was looking so good with the traffic to my videos getting stronger and not less than 250 to 1800 the past few days. And then I was shocked to see a message from YouTube that my channel was removed for violation of policies and deceptive or spam content.... I appealed. Because I think the following may have triggered something:o( Yesterday, using VidIQ's AI Coach, I learned that reused scripts with different visuals may not be allowed, so I immediately deleted 2 videos. I also deleted a couple of videos to repost them with relevant thumbnails.I did repost them immediately after deleting them. And deleted about 20 older ones just to clean up my channel. I included this on the appeal. Almost instantly, I got this message that leaves me wondering what or who replies in seconds: We reviewed your channel carefully and have confirmed that it violates our spam, deceptive practices, and scams policy. We know this is probably disappointing news, but it's our job to make sure that YouTube is a safe place for all. Looks like it is so much of a. trouble to communicate to YouTube. I am wondering if I should escalate. It further reaches out to them for a direct response to know the exact issue via the community Or just start over with a new channel? Because this fateful channel had only 118 subscribers and 289 watch hours, although the 3 months of work were solid. At least I learnt what works and what to be careful about. Is it ok to open with the same channel name? Or to be safe, I could start over with a completely different name with another email ID? or will I be blacklisted. It's so horrible to not know what went wrong. If I am legally allowed to have another youtube channel that could monetize, Can the original videos I made for the channel that was removed be reused?

I'm curious - who in here considers yourself a heart centered content creator. A person who feels led/guided/called to do this work and live this purpose from a place bigger than you? Wants to create a positive impact in the world by sharing your heart and creating a community around you that lifts people up?

I feel like I should run around and celebrate, but it just sort of landed when I was focussing on everything else that I'm trying to juggle! I guess this would be a good time to stop and notice that I've just reached a goal.
