As someone who runs various music based YouTube channels, some with a hundred+ thousand subscribers and millions of views. I've been hit by the ban hammer numerous times, this is an interesting thread I've never seen asked on here before. (no sarcasm) My first ban was back in 2010 or something like that for uploading a Jason Derulo song that got about 500,000 views before getting wacked by a recording company and my account completely removed from YouTube.
How ever since 2013 I've noticed something quite interesting, the 3 strike method has become a lot better first off, meaning the strikes actually expire. Back when I first started internet marketing via Music on YouTube the strikes you got lasted forever, so if your account got swiper no swiping'd you would pretty much be skadoodled. Now your strikes expire after 6 months I believe, this also caused me to strike curiosity with a stick.
I created an account and purposely got it banned after generating 100$ in adsense revenue, the account was removed after the 3 strikes mark, how ever my adsense account was completely fine + I was able to use it on various other accounts in the same niche even. Here's the best part, they even still paid out the 118 dollars I had earned on that account for that month. So I believe getting your YouTube account banned, will no longer directly effect your Adsense account.
