I was wondering if there is any kind of workaround for this problem that will allow you to keep revenue/views while creating a duplicate...

I had a video get a 120k views today then it was age restricted & demonetized. I was curious whether or not it would be possible to create & monetize a duplicate & make the original video private & still keep the 120k. Basically I am trying to keep the profit from the the 1st vid I uploaded that was restricted & store/make it private & then create a duplicate & try to remonetize to continue where I left off before the video was flagged & demonetized.I realize you might ask why try again if it was age restricted, & that is because I was wrongfully flagged & my appeal was almost insta rejected w/out consideration. Censorship is on the rise & political channels are being targeted if they don't go along with the narrative, but thats another story. Any help would be greatly appreciated. tyvm

I moved this to the Video Monetization / Partnership discussion forum. ^^ The YTtalk support forum is for specific forum-related questions and suggestions. The staff at YTtalk are not YouTube employees. :)

YouTube is looking into enhancing/fixing their restricted mode:

As for your video, I don't think there is a way to transfer views to another video. You might be able to use the YouTube editor to remove the part that you think may be making it demonetized/restricted, but I honestly wouldn't do that. The YouTube editor is a bit buggy.

If it were me, I'd leave things the way they are, and continue to make new videos, but that's probably not the answer you want to hear....

There's no way to do what you would like.
