YT Customer Service has sucked for me since day 1! It sure seems like they have gigged my account - somehow flagged it so I only earn a fraction of what I should. I don't know. If someone called them something like "pencil necked geeks" in some forum. Do you think some of them might take revenge if they saw it? I mean who are they anyway? Who knows what kind of powers they have. I guess they have some Bot that trolls all new vids for music riffs. I've fought them over several of my vids before only to end up totally ignored in the end. Took one vid down and re submitted and it was monetized right away! Go figure. AND there was NO music in it anyway.
And yes, they ALWAYS send you these BS form letter responses with useless answers and no mention of the specifics of the issue. I recently submitted 2 vids. One was of my cat romping around and the other was me working on my car. NO music in either one. And they gigged me on BOTH of them. Now they have this new [!] Symbol where the [$] should be. You click on that and up pops the same copyright, threatening letter we used to receive in our Google mailbox. Why is nobody mentioning this new tactic? Its been 2 days now. One more day of this and I will try my luck at re-submitting the vids. That has worked before. The other thing I have noticed is that whenever they do this to my vids - they don't get sh!t for views. Its like they send them off into perdition or something! I get so mad at them I could spit bullets. What a lousy, insulting job they do!
