Does changing Adsense could trigger some manual review of the channel?

I’m asking because I’m planning to change the AdSense account on one channel, but I remember that a few years ago when I did this, the channel was demonetized within the same month for reused content, even though everything had been fine before that.

I’d separate the two events. AdSense changes can trigger checks, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the check caused the reused-content issue. If you’re going to switch, make sure the channel is clean and keep screenshots of the current monetization status just in case

I dont think changing AdSense itself means a manual review, but it could be that the channel got checked around the same time and the reused content was noticed.

Yes, it does trigger a review. In fact, even changing the channel’s language, country, or name can trigger a bot review. The channel is then placed in a period of limited activity while the system evaluates it.

What? in my experience YT doesn't care about what country you set there, not sure about language or name.

It's worth checking whether it adds enough original commentary, editing, or educational value to meet YouTube's monetization requirements.

AdSense is very sensitive that any little changes triggers a ripple of reactions with repercussions. But before you do any changes, ensure you keep your account clean and tidy so they dont see any reason to flag and even they flag, they can easily restore your account after running checks

Nowadays, any changes you make to your channel will be subject to automated review. You really can’t compare the current situation to how things were in the past.

I dont think changing adsense alone should cause demonetization, but nobody knows how youtube reviews work behind the scenes.
