At first, I was posting YouTube shorts with my url pasted in the content and a link pinned in the comments. After a few weeks, 20+ videos posted, 30k+ views, they banned the account out of nowhere. I submitted an appeal and it got auto-rejected.
A few months later, I created a new account on an anti-detect browser with a YouTube proxy. This time no link pasted in the video, no link in comments, no link in profile name, bio, description, anything. However, the username was something like this: @xyzShop. Anyways, after 4 days, 4 videos posted, ~8k views, it got banned and the appeal was denied in about 5 minutes. I posted new videos (not taken from anywhere else, or used on the other channel).
The content I'm posting has no issues whatsoever on TikTok. I'm very careful to not say anything that gets flagged on there, like "go to website.com... buy X at..." The videos do have my logo in about half of the screen and the video itself in the other half. I sell products in the gaming industry so it's just gameplay with an AI voice saying things about a game for a few seconds.
I think it's possible that the videos got falsely reported by some loser and that's what triggered the ban, maybe because the account was too new.
My next step will be buying an aged account and testing that out.
Other than that, is there anything else that I can do to avoid bans?
