Hello

I received two emails last night, that my vidoes are in violation of the community guidelines, simply saying they are "inappropriate."

Not sure what that means, because they were product reviews in which I did not violate any of the terms listed on the community guidelines page.

The only thing that both videos shared was that they both linked to their product on amazon.

I'm wondering if that is possible? I appealed them last night... waiting on a response. I also contacted partner support. Luckily I do meet the 15,000 hours in the past 90 days, so I do atleast have someone to talk to. They escalated it to someone and will get back to me in a few days.

How do I prevent this in the future? Will I have to go through all my 300+ vidoes to check for affiliate links?

Any similar experiences?

Thanks,

Jeremy
 
The only thing I could think of is if your reviews were negative in any way. I did a product video for a couple of guitar pedals and both manufacturers have seen them and no issues (one featured it on their facebook page!).
 
The Amazon affiliate links are your problem. YouTube doesn't like affiliate marketing on creator's videos, especially if you use URL shorteners.
