YouTube DEMONETISATION is more rough now.

Back in 2019 I recived a demonetisation to my hard working channel (which is now dead) after I went "VERY VIRAL". They found me, they demonetized me.
Now in 2021 I uploaded a reaction video with camera and background comments with a tinny screen on left. The video was one minute and had 5 views. Less than 24 hours passed, YouTube algorithm spotted me, demonetized my channel.
"Reused content" is considered everything by g now apparently. Growing a channel is more rough. They have this appeal button to attach a video explaining them what. Guess what? It goes to reused content again because they do not review it. The only manual reviewers would be probably a channel above 10k subs.

Watch out with your channels what you upload. Make sure you cut that "REUSED CONTENT" to less than 10 seconds and add a camera face after it.

Have you uploaded a full video of someone else and though you could get away with it just because you add your commentary? By this logic you could upload the latest Marvel movie and just add your reaction

Rest of the channel my own work. Practically 1 video got my whole channel demonetized.
If they want to be politically correct with their protocol, demonetize that video but not my whole channel where my own work is making the content.

Not to say the video was a small tinny screen on a left and the audio was from speakers, background me yelling of "entushiasm".

yes the demonetizations are quite hard now.
they are even rejecting original content channels or demonetizing origjnal content channels in a while after they are monetized.

i think its bots.
not sure if youtube will fix it.
since many people around the world are applying, yt is probably trying to reduce the amount of spam on the platform, by intentionally rejecting a certain number of channels.
