Appealing Rejected Monetization

I

So I have a few videos that have had rejected monetization. Now, that means it hasn't been fully taken away, it's not under review, but it's "rejected." Where the normal dollar sign is, there is a little red cross.

Now some videos have rejected monetization because you miss that 14 day window to appeal when YouTube wants more proof of rights. However, I have 3 videos that never had that happen; they had been rejected immediately when they were posted or have been around longer than you've been able to monetize.

Appealing to YouTube Support is an extreme gamble. In one case, I had a video overturned successfully. The exact same video (without a video commentary) on top of it, was never appealed.

YouTube Support is pretty useless. They just tell you that "YouTube can do whatever they want." From within the YouTube team (through a series of talks with YouTube liaisons who work there), I'm being told my videos are "too old" (which I think is a load of #@$!). And network partnerships have all told me that it's fixable.

Without having to sign to a partnership, is there an easy solution to this issue? Has anyone else ever had these issues?

If they reject it then its likely against copyright
 
To be honest, I would just re-edit the video, make sure the length, title, name, and file size were different and try again as long as it doesn't have copyright issues.

But they aren't copyright, that's the frustrating part of this. Some of the vids have royalty free music (which I bought the license for) and use software visuals that I also have the approval to use.

If it had a few thousand views, I might consider it, but some of them have enormous numbers. Knowing that, would you still can your video?

Yes. I have deleted and re-uploaded a vid that had 10,000+ views. If it is a video that you know will gain traction again and you know that there isn't any reason for it to not be monetized, and you want to monetize it, then delete, edit, and re-upload.

Nowadays with my channel though, I don't necessarily monetize a video if it isn't going to get more then 5,000 views. I don't need the five bucks.
