So it has finally came my turn to share my story...
I have joined YTTalk back in April and was following actively every post and comment from
@KiddieToysReview.
However my content was different, there was no kids involved, only Play doh and surprise eggs.
I have spent Over 6300 EUR on Adwords without any Black Hat marketing tricks. channel grew to around 1950 subs and 600k total views.
Each of our video was created by us only (me and my wife)
We have been hit by the algo's on the first wave - around 50% of our videos became not suitable for all advertisers - so we have appealed for a manual review.
A week ago I have checked my channel and found that that out entire channel has been demonetized. Of course I wrote an email to Youtube.
After receiving 2 replies from Youtube rep I never felt so disrespectfully treated in my life...
They state that I have duplicated some other persons content and they refuse to provide any sort of evidence .... Even after I have uploaded pictures from my harddrive and Premier Pro that all of the videos were created by me with our watermark on it ...

Thank you for contacting YouTube Creator Support and I hope that this message finds you well. I understand the importance in having your monetization enabled to your channel and I'm glad that you've reached out to us.

Thank you for your response.
I understand your frustration and I respect your opinion. However, I'm sorry to say that we are unable to re-enable your monetization and you just need to apply again after 30 days.
Again, I'm sorry that I am unable to help you in getting your channel monetize.
