Community Guidelines Strike For No Reason

It depends.... YouTube has just terminated my account because of a random guy claimed and reported my videos for copyright infringements, through different accounts, for which he doest not have any copyrights in order to illegally close my channel. When I dispute it via the free form, it says "it seems that you have not the right to dispute". And the guy was just a person like you or me...[DOUBLEPOST=1394848324,1394848026][/DOUBLEPOST]Btw my channel was pointing at 20 million views/month. :)

That's still not related to CGs though. He abused the DMCA system, YT has to act on every complaint they receive.
 
There's a gaming category for people who have deals with game devs, basically.

Also, I can't believe you aren't getting copyright strikes left, right and center for your lip sync videos. There's so much stuff on your channel that you could potentially get into trouble for.

When Google says "we're taking your video away", it's always good to just be grateful that they didn't say "we're taking your channel away", like they have done to so many people.

I had a friend who had her partnership revoked, she was never told what she did wrong (and couldn't figure out what it was that had happened) and Google just do not give a crap. If you appeal and they reject it, you're done. Forever. Without ever getting an explanation from them. Because that's how they roll.
 
There's also some deal about commentary on video games. I'm not a gaming person, but I did hear someone yesterday talking about gaming videos with commentary being ok (and again, it's all about which system you're using and who the developer/owner of the game is) but straight gameplay with no commentary/voice over being a problem.

You probably heard all that from monetizing gameplay, that's another story but we're not talking about that in this thread :p
 
Actually, we are. OP's main gripe was that they were making "livelihood" and "a lot of money" from it and now their adsense is down 90%.

~edit~ I mixed up the OP and this dude above, so I have edited this post.

So the action taken is not against my video, but against the fact there are excessive tags in the information section of the video. Why can the video not be re-instated with the surplus tags removed?

I have read stories about websites breaking Google's Adsense rules and they get de-listed from being indexed through Google search. This is a death sentence for many businesses. Google has to take a hard-line stance on people breaking the rules or doing things that cheat the system. They are sending a message and now you are spreading the word so that others can learn to not do that as well.

To be blunt, you were profiting by breaking the rules. You just got away with it for quite some time and now enough is enough.
 
I remember back in the days where everyone was cramming their descriptions full of "keywords", glad youtube stopped spammers being able to dominate the rankings. But since they are useless now can you still be banned for them? After all it is now just a bit of useless text in a description.
