I agree with that wish I could've claimed that video lol
No matter what, on the internet, we have to rely on third party platforms to an extent for traffic. Traffic has to come from somewhere. People aren't going to open their browsers and type in our domain name. We have to refer them from a website that as done offline advertising to get people to go to their websites first (Facebook, Google, etc).
But where ya'll make the mistake is you keep EVERYTHING on YouTube.
What you should be doing is directing the traffic you're capturing on YouTube to go to your external website and to then collect LEADS there and build a brand external from YouTube so that if the ban hammer comes your way, you're OK.
I learned that lesson hard when YouTube put a strike against one of my videos. It got reversed but if it hadn't, it was going to be pretty fucking terrible. Now I'm super careful and entirely white hat. Everything I do is well within their TOS. Absolutely no grey-hat bullshit going on here.
But I do what I preach: I direct my traffic off of YouTube, collect the emails of my subscribers and build a brand. If YouTube were to ban me my source of leads would be fucked, but I would have a gigantic pool of leads to use to fix it, plus landing pages/squeeze pages that I know are highly converting.
Where my greedy mistake is is that I haven't poured enough into extra non-YouTube sources, but that will be top priority for me moving forward. You have to spread your risk because 3rd party sites give no fucks about you and can fuck you over at anytime.

I just made another YouTube channel a few days ago. Right now, I'm using Blogger and SoundCloud to promote this brand of ideas. I bought a domain with free company email addresses, but I currently don't have a web hosting plan yet; hence, no website. Everything is in experimental phase as of now, so I'm not planning on purchasing a website until I see a lot more growth on my channel.

The only fights allowed on YT are the professional ones like boxing , WWF. Street fights and similar stuff will be taken down sooner or later. I once had a channel with video compilations of fights. Guess what ? It got deleted when one video went viral and reached a few million views. Even if you upload boxing it can be claimed by sports channels.

It is called sending "Red Hits"
It's when someone in your niche, competition flags your content multiple times, and youtube doesn't like flagging they don't like dealing with angry youtubers so they terminate the video, and if more flags appear on your content they terminate your channel.
I do this as well, I see someone out ranked me.
I call someone up, pay them.
And the video gets taken down.
Welcome to reality my friend.
Regards,
Gorka.

I own several channels anywhere from 100k up to 1mill subs. Got there the legit way. If you want to be successful on youtube then make original and good quality content. If you are simply making videos using that kind of content then expect it not too last for long even if you succeed getting views. You have to keep making/buying accounts, gotta keep using a lot of proxies and gotta keep mass uploading. yeah, that's a good way to make quick bucks but don't expect to last for long if you are not actively uploading and looking after it.
I've done YT + CPA making over $3k a month on autopilot for almost 3 years (of course i've had check on it everyday but that was only 15min of my day). I had my own journal if you want to read it. I had a shit tons of acc and proxies back then. So I know what am I saying, then decided to make good quality content, started with one channel and now I own a Production company making original content across 6 channels and constantly working on new channel ideas.
Making a successful channel it's a long term business but definitely pays off when you can grow off your own fruits. Good luck, just keep poking around youtube there is money to be made just find your own little niche + own twist and things will work your way.

Are you kidding me? Are you really suggesting that I have to play dirty to be among the top and upcoming players? It's bad enough that someone in this thread wished that they were able to monetize a video that wasn't theirs. Of course a vast majority of us people will envy what we don't have, but wishing to be one who profited off someone else's video is almost like wishing you were the robber who got lucky and ran off with the cash. I would hate to partake in the very system that I condemn and detest. The act of flagging an innocent person's video for merely my own self-interest just doesn't really sit well with me. Even if the possible bullies who caused my videos and channels to be deleted receive success, does that mean do the same to others just to merely reap the benefits? This is damn near like 20 drug lords and kingpins battling over a hot spot and killing each other over it. Is this what we do now? I prefer to go with bots and SEO techniques before doing savage things like that. Dog eat dog, tribal instincts, and survival guides seem to be an unfortunate part of nature.
Which accounts did you buy and what proxies were you using? When I think CPA, my mind gets blurry since I feel it's so broad and unspecific. What types of CPAs do you recommend? I believe I can achieve something like this one day.

PVA YT accounts and any fast and reliable private proxies. There are many sellers these days offering great services. My niche was within gaming, so I stuck to email submits and other quick offers. Any reputable CPA network will do. Yes, it is very achievable, you just need to be consistent and patient.

if i had a dollar for every channel i lost.....well, you must understand the game, youtube is google and google is the the #1 spy agency on this planet.
they have smart anti-spam bot's that analyze all the data about your liked old and new google/youtube accounts, and they profile you, if they sense that you are a "player" that try to earn from them
i'ts very easy for that bot to flag your activities, they will wait a bit and then...SLAMMM, kick you out in a way that you feel like retiring for good...
how to avoid that, you can't for 100% but you can minimize your exposure, you must have a separate connection clean from past activities, a VM will be best, also you can use a new account on your windows, that must be clean, since if you connect to google account A and later to google account B they will be linked on google forever.

My niche is getting popular and I want to monetize my videos by selling products related to the videos in the description. I am thinking I may direct them to a website or blog that sells the items through amazon affiliation. But could it be more profitable if I contacted the companies and sold the product through them with some sort of affiliation link?
Perhaps.
I'd never to Amazon's affiliate program. The payouts are too small. The least I'll consider is 20%. Anything less is not worth it. I've negotiated with affiliate programs in the past for higher payouts too.
What affiliate program you pick to promote is going to be crucial for your earning potential. One affiliate program has basically lost me because the payouts are too small, and even though the product is good for my audience, it isn't worth it for me to invest all of this time when I could be making $500/month with them but be making $1,000+/month with other programs.
Pick a profitable affiliate program/product and promote that.
YouTube is the third party. You are the first, your affiliate program or whatever is the second, and YouTube is the third.
