YT Shorts Channel 200M Views Fail

Sergeant said:
Hey guys, I want to share my YT story and maybe get some advice.

One of my shorts randomly hit the algorithm in the ass and blew up with 200M views and gained me almost 250,000 subscribers.

My other content was doing kind of "ok", about 10-35k views.

I applied for monetization as soon as I reached the threshold.
But the problem is the video that blew up is just a stupid compilation of 4 videos and minimal editing. I finally applied for the YPP and got really excited. I got accepted in 2-3 days.
The day after I got hit with the reused content and instantly demonetized. It's like they are fcking edging me.

In that short period of time (1,5 days) I managed to make about 120 dollars off ads. I don't even know if I can claim it..

I tried to appeal but got rejected again, and now I have to wait 3 months.
The thing is, I don't even know which video is meant as "re-used content". It could be any one of my videos since they all got monetized OR are they targeting the video that blew up.
Now I'm in a tough situation, it really feels bad to delete a video with 200m views. But I think its the only way around, if I want to get monetized again..

TL;DR fuck youtube, delete video with 200M views or not? :(

Did the video have your narration?

The flagged content was likely the viral compilation video.

It sounds like a really difficult situation. Here's what I would recommend:

If the main goal is to bring back monetization, you should focus on cleaning up the channel from content that can be classified as reused. Removing a video with 200M views is a painful but potentially necessary step if it was that video that caused the demonetization.

Try this first:

Analyze videos that may be considered duplicate content.
Learn YouTube's Reused Content guidelines to avoid similar situations in the future.
Prepare unique content to relaunch your channel.
Don't be upset - even with this experience, you already know how the algorithm works. Success is possible, the main thing is not to give up!

That is heartbreaking lol. I already got all hyped up and then they take it away
 
Just don't delete yet the viral videos. Just wait till they die. Main goal is to make millions of subs fro them.
 
Does all your videos are into re-used content or only few of them ?
 
there is a method for shorts to upload and earn money without the need of adsense ,sesrch for it before it gets patched

You will have to delete that video. Follow their rules if you want to make money using their platform.
