Copyright strikes/terminated channel(s)

People, this is crazy... I thought my biggest problem is getting ranked/making people see my videos. But when I figured out how to rank (more or less) for 'my' keywords I started getting my videos striked. Now when I start a new channel it gets terminated after 1 strike. At first, I thought that maybe on these new channels it's because of how I fake views, but now I'm pretty sure it's not. I figured out that for that method the time at which I post videos is important... If I post it too late in the day it doesn't get too popular, but if I get it posted earlier (in my timezone, I mean) and fake views tons of real people see it, I get real likes, comments, etc... And then bam!, some dick strikes my video and I loose whole fuckin channel... He always does it at the same time, so it's either a person or bot on cron, lol. Now I can't even see who, because I get terminated channel and it doesn't show me the strikes anymore.

A while ago I saw other competitor's video removed... And I see it's one of top influencers in that niche/sub-niche who striked his video... It was completely original video, so if making your own videos won't protect you from a strike, I don't know what will!

I just saw a video by a lawyer about false strikes, and in the comments section there's tons of people who get strikes when their channel gets popular. It's exactly what I noticed - when video gets popular I get a strike. The hell, how I'm supposed to have a channel if it gets removed the moment it gets popular.

Anyone had that problem? Hell, I could send false copyright strikes all over the place and take down other's videos too, but that wouldn't help me because it wouldn't prevent others from doing the same to my videos. *sighs*

what kind of videos you make?

Game hacks. One game that has nice traffic, to be exact. On my keywords there are 3 types of channels that rank: bigger kinda-grayhat influencer channels (and these seem to be throwing these strikes around), smaller channels on bought aged accounts (multiple accounts per person, it's quite obvious), smaller channels on fresh(er) self-made accounts (obvious multi-accounting as well).

Maybe these people that multi-account do it to protect themselves from loosing whole revenue... But still, how I'm supposed to multi-account if each single one gets terminated... Also, how come these bigger influencer channels still exist after all these years? They must have figured out a way to protect themselves from strikes.

And these other channels that I read about are from completely different, various niches...

Would like to know more about the greyhat influencer channel who is able to protect himself while striking others.

Yeah bro, me too, me fuckin too. I don't know how they do it. They have these channels for years and they're not taken down even though they're about hacks.

Can you pm me the link if it's okay with you

Add "this is for educational purpose" and they will let you in

You're right .... It's possible I might not know either but I am not a God who can see what's troubling you. I can only advise to copy your competitors strategy. Good luck.

On what grounds does he strike your video? Like he claims your video is his own?, or the music or what?

There's more than one person walking around and claiming other people's videos as their own. Right now I don't even get the strikes anymore and can't tell for sure why my channels are terminated because youtube won't tell me anymore. I just get 'spams, scams and multiple violations'.

When I check competitors' (other than these influencers, I mean) videos that get removed it says video was removed due to copyright claim by *username here*. Even though video was original. But usually my competitors are better at multi-accounting and I guess their accounts aren't connected and they just get video removed, right now yt removes my whole channel without saying why.

in the game hack niche some Game Developers do strike videos promoting hacks of the games, are you sure you are not actually getting a copyright strike by the developers of the game or are you getting striked because of false copyright of Regular Users?

No, they're influencers from that sub-niche that do that. Like, people who post hacks and have huge accounts and some of them also develop hacks... But for example, there was strike by developer who develops lookalike hacks, ie. his hack is copyright or at least trademark infrigement IMO. His hack is ripped of paid hack, so it's not really his either.

Plot twist: I think one of them is using multiple accounts, after all, heheh. And is striking people. Heh. But there are others who really do have like, one strong account, some very old... Dunno how they survived. The people who do the striking are the ones with videos on upper part of first page. So they're basically striking people who might compete with them on these keywords.

It's been like this for a long time man. They don't need to strike you on copyright grounds ... they can report you on whatever they like ... if your vids get enough reports and the title contain blacklisted words ... it gets take down automatically ...if not then someone will look at your videos and see that it's blakhat or gray hat and they will take it down.

Game hacks will always get strikes, the only thing you can do with it is to prolong its stay in the web

You mean they can report for breaking community guidelines or something like that?
