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?
 
Update: Tested with two aged accounts and posted the same type of videos, but they're getting under 20 views...

But not banned?

There is something fishy about your video, and for your appeal to be denied, there is something not right about it.
 
Maybe because of title, YT can ban for prohobited words. Try to uplaod videos with neutral words without links.
There was nothing wrong with the title, description, etc.

Not banned, but trash views, maybe shadow-banned.
The only thing that could be considered "fishy" is the fact that I had my business's logo/name (not url) in the top half of the video.
 
If the content is yours, you never get banned. Also don't use prohibited words or hashtags, description

otherwise, it's not a problem.

The content is mine and everything was normal... I think they just auto-ban you after a couple reports if your channel is brand new.
 
You should not run multiple channels from same device. You should work on one channel first. Once the channel is grown, you can share links of other channels and get lot of traffic.
 
Why are they banning the channel if content is original as you claim?
 
Are you sure that other channels on the same theme (meaning producing quite similar content as yours) are thriving there? If yes, have you made a comparison of what makes them different from your videos? Honestly, in the absence of any advisory from Youtube, you will have to investigate the issue on your own using intelligent guess work. Thats the only way to arrive at some potential reasons for such instant ban.

The banning problem mainly originates from running multiple accounts of YT from same IP address, which triggers spam-index.

I recommend you to junk the ongoing set up of internet connection, start anew, register 1 account and it should work out fine for you.
I use dolphin anty with "youtube" proxies from a reputable seller.

I believe the problem is that I sell gaming currency/items and some % of players are extremely mad about that (they're mad that other players can spend a few dollars and have better items than them instantly...) so they report the videos when they see my company name and logo and the videos/channels get auto-banned even though I don't have links anywhere, and don't break YouTube ToS.
