I have a big demonetized channel and since YouTube refuses to tell me which videos contain any infractions I cannot do anything with it. It is impossible to make any money in this niche other than AdSense. So much effort put into this channel which is 100% whitehat only to end like this. I don't feel like deleting my hard work with millions and millions of views or selling it to some grifter to delete my videos and run some content farm on it so I don't know what to do with it. I wish YouTube would just tell us what they are accusing us of but they hit you with some generic message and ruin your life.

as you stated your channel is demonetized, can you confirm, is your adsense account is still active ? i am asking i am facing similar kind of situation with one of my white channel i worked myself for a year long but i found solution : in my case my adsense was disable, hence with brand account option i am trying to shift it to another email, currently i can see option to transfer it this transfer will done after 7 days which would be (11th of this month) so hopefully if your case is like mine you can try brand transfer. feel free to connect over skype in case you want to discuss further too. or you can reply here or contact through pm as well.
may be in future too we can help each other as we both are working on youtube stuff. I dont call myself expert in youtube but i have dedicated team which is working full time on youtube stuff.

Try to get a hold of them on X tag them for assistance and that you are getting a generic response they will always push for the generic response when you write them keep trying because if you being working for so long on your channel is unfair to let it go like this tag them on X and upload screenshots of the generic responses they being giving you I know some content creators do this not the same reason as you but it worked.

You broke their TOS, and if there is no specific information, that means its over.
You can try to find them via google search community, X, Reddit, but they won't give a F.
It's easy to name some contact sources, but in reality, there won't be any success. This is so rare.
What to do? Try to understand where you made errors, try multiple times.
Then simply create a new channel, figure out the best way to announce that you're moving to second channel, and carry on from there.

Im not sure what you mean. My AdSense account is not banned. I haven't logged in some months but it should work. AdSense accounts become inactive if they don't recieve any payments in X months but from what I've heard it's easy to activate them, you just need to generate an income from a channel or website. My case is just YT bots flagging content and thus ending up removed from YPP, not related to the AdSense account.
There is nothing to understand, since it's all automated. You are naive if you think there is people watching videos, it's all machines specially with AI, so any bs combination of keywords or something interpreted by the AI as bad flags your videos even tho it's bs. There's tons of false positives every day. So im not willing to delete any videos when there is no certainty that you even need to delete anything.
Unfortunately, you need to be famous in social media for this to work. I have seen how this works for people with huge followings, but it doesn't work for faceless channels even if they are big.
My channel was banned recently for violating their spam policy for comments, lol. They rejected my appeal twice. Somehow, through paid channels (such as premium membership, ie) I somehow got in touch with a human. It was YouTube partner support (which if you’re monetized you should be able to access easily?) and I’m not even monetized. It was reversed literally in under 24 hours, with an apology from YouTube (generic of course) but the funny thing is that I talked to like 3 humans, and the other funny thing is I was actually very, very guilty of committing the violation but they still gave the channel back. Yeah, 99.9% of what they use to flag is AI generated, but you should be able to reach an actual human through support, especially since you’re a partner. Even the human I spoke to, had specifically told me what I violated before sending the request off to their internal team for me lol. Just because people are commenting “you’re SOL because you violated X” or “you’ll never get in touch with someone to actually help you” is BS.

Dude, you think you're smart? Guess what, you're not.
Of course it's AI, bravo.
Just let me know how there is a bunch of channels doing their stuff, without an issue.
Good luck.
I have chat support on YT, it's useless. It's part of their bs policy to not point where the supposed infractions are, plenty of testimonials all over YT with people stuck with demonetized channels.

check the videos that have copy right claims and re-edit those and add a few videos with your face in it, if the channel already doesn't have it and then try applying for monetization again, if that is not happening, sell the channel for a good price, since it has millions of views, why keep the channel with you when you can actually get revenue out of its sale.

You can monetize through other methods. What's your niche or topic? You would get good suggestions on how to monetize.

Sorry about that buddie.
Go to the Marketplace here and try to find insiders from there who will unlock your account. From what I have seen they charge a lot though.
Google treats its own employees bad so imagine how they will treat you? Appealing to them won't work, so trying using an insider.
?
Thanks for the idea, but there is a problem: How do you know they are legit insiders? And what does qualify as insider? I could claim im an insider, come up with some bullshit and ask for a price. They may also be selling themselves as insider for knowing some irrelevant Partner Managers (PM's are irrelevant and don't have this information, I know people with PM's and they don't help you getting monetized since they are also not told what videos cause these problems)
