Hands down, your big problem is:
On the one hand you want to be successful but on the other hand you don't want to put in the efforts that are necessary to be successful. That's not how it works!
Some years ago I was is in the same situation as you! I've made up to 4k EUR per month by uploading documentaries. Then my channels got banned and I had to start from zero. At that time when you got a strike, Google deactivated the monetization option for your whole Adsense account. You couldn't use it anymore. You can believe me, nothing was really better than now. It's just differnt today.
Nevertheless I created more Google- and Adsense accounts, re-uploaded my videos ...but got banned again and again when it was running good.
I've done this when I was in school, so it doesn't hurt too much. But when I started studying, rent my first flat, had to pay my bills etc, I realized: You can't build my existence on a blackhat method!
My thoughts were: You can bring it to 3-5K EUR again but if you're getting banned, it'll take some months to build it up again. In this time you have to live off your savings. How do you ever want to make 10, 20 or 30K EUR per month? It won't happen. So I had to put in the efforts to build up a white hat business. But on the other hand: I needed the quick YouTube money to pay my bills. I had to make a decision...
I decided to build up my YouTube channels one last time. When it was running with 2K, I've taken this freedom to build up something legit / stable. Surely, I could bring it to 3, 4, 5K EUR again with YouTube, but I let the quick money on the table to build up something strong with which I'll make even more money in the long run.
You have to break out of this circle and think long term. Otherwise you get stuck to it and nothing will change.
I've started YouTube with some friends in 2011. Some of them have quitted completely with YouTube and the rest is still stuck in to it. I'm talking to them for years that they should stop with that and leave the quick money on the table but they don't listen. They're bring it to some K per month and getting banned again and again. I think it's the greed! If it's working good for them, there's no need to stop. So they continuing until they're getting banned again. Then they've the pressure to make the quick money and because they've nothing else, they continue with YouTube. Do you notice the circle / loop? You have to break out of this!
While I was growing my business to 5K, 10K, 15K EUR per month over the time, they got banned again and again and stucked to 2-3K/month (in average over the year).
Today I've the freedom to do whatever I want. I'm still doing YouTube (because it works) to make some K on the side but I don't care if I'll get banned. It's just for fun.
Conclusion:
You'll have all the time in the world to make the quick blackhat money. Nothing is running away! But first you have to build up something legit / stable. A business you can count on (and yes, it's not easy but it's necessary). You shouldn't try to build up your existence on a blackhat method. That's too risky.
Hope I could help you. Good luck
