Can somebody explain the reason YouTube shut down my channel.
They didn't explain the reason, and when i appealed they said it was legitemate.
Can i do something now to bring back my YouTube channel.

Circumvention policy usually means one thing: you got linked.
YouTube thinks you're a repeat offender trying to bypass a previous ban. If you’ve had a channel deleted before on the same IP, phone number, or even the same PC, their Relatedness system flagged you.
Since they already rejected your appeal, that channel is 99% dead. Don't waste your time trying to get it back. Your only move now is to go stealth—new device (or antidetect), new 4G proxy, new phone number, and zero connection to your old accounts. If you try to open another channel on your current setup, it’ll be gone in a week too.
 
YT thinks you tried to bypass a previous restriction, like creating another channel after a ban, reuploading removed content, or using another account to keep posting. if you never did that it could be a false flag so your best move is to appeal and explain your situation clearly, did you have any old channels or shared accounts before?

i actually have a gmail account that had a youtube channel that was terminated back in 2016, and i sometime access this gmail from my computer where i also was accessing this channel that is now terminated, could that be the problem??
Also i was opening this gmail account in an EC2 amazon sever and posting from it probably most of the time.
The frustrating thing is i was working on this channel for one year now and suddenly boom it is gone.
But okay , now trying to diagnose the situation to avoid future problem like this.
 
If YouTube didn’t give a clear reason, it’s usually a policy-level issue (spam, reused content, automation, or copyright), not a single video. Appeals get auto-reviewed a lot, so “legitimate” just means it matched their detection signals.


If your appeal was already rejected, chances of getting it back are low unless you can provide new, specific evidence (like proof of original content or a clear mistake).


What you can do now: double-check your content against their policies, and if there’s a real case, submit a detailed second appeal or contact support (if you had access to it). Otherwise, it’s usually faster to start fresh and avoid the same patterns.
