Apparently YouTube just decided to disable my monetization

Well if an MCN suspected that clicks weren't valid, they would be the ones deciding to take action and withhold payment instead of YouTube... since the past year the Content ID protection was taken off and then sometime any affiliate partners channels monetization will have to be reviewed, not sure if that's still going to be a thing but the point is that things that were previously left for the MCN to handle since users were under contract with them are now being taken by YouTube, nobody was ever protected as in "invincible" but the MCN was previously a kind of middleman against some issues that affected people only on AdSense.

When there are invalid clicks/activity/bad traffic, etc the advertiser is the one who gets hurt. Since it's Google's job to make sure that their advertisers are happy, they are the ones who pay attention to the invalid clicks and administer the punishments pertaining to those invalid clicks.

It is red sadly. Only the monetization.

OMG! noooooo

What did the email say exactly? Can you post screenshot or copy/paste? It's not always 'clicks' that cause those emails.

The problem could be one with the quality of your traffic and not actually invalid clicks. Invalid activity covers views that come from places that Youtube doesn't trust or a pattern that their algorithm recognizes that is consistent with those reciprocating watch sites (sign up, watch others' videos, earn credits that can be put toward views for your videos, etc). There are a number of things that can contribute to 'invalid activity' traffic. Buying YT views from those YT views for sale websites and using bots also triggers this monetization shutoff and corresponding email wording. You are fortunate that they didn't terminate your adsense.

I never opened adsense nor created one. Though I accidentally created one, I never opened it. I became a partner without turning on monetization.

My top 3 demographics is:
USA
Brazil
Philippines

I never bought bots nor buying subs and views because I know they are scammed and I know a friend of mine does it, and they shut his channel down a month later. I did use Adwords before, but it's a google product.

:/ So how about Curse support now?

They replied yesterday asking for a screenshot. No reply since then.

Ok I didn't realize you were with an MCN. Well that's good. Hopefully this doesn't mean that any future attempt at getting an adsense account will be met with rejection. If you had an adsense account there is a good chance it would have been terminated.

Hopefully this issue can still be fixed, and see how MCN can actually help their partners through this.)

You have quite a few number of videos stuck at 301, which might mean invalid clicking. Either you refresh your videos hundreds of times or you receive invalid views.

Most people who get banned from adsense are actually guilty. They simply don´t admit it, or live in denial.
