Getting a strike for "spam"?

I have uploaded 4 (so far) videos of a 100 baby challenge in Sims 4. Its a popular sims challenge so other youtubers have done it before. Right after I upload each video, I get a strike and told I am spamming. I have appealed each video so far, strikes have been reversed and the video went up. I've checked my tags and there isn't anything that shouldn't be there, and my thumbnails aren't misleading.

Do I need to change how I title my videos? Is there anything else I can change? It's getting annoying having to appeal each video, since this challenge can be 150+ videos long.

Thank you <3
 
That's kind of strange, I've heard of people getting issues when uploading things too close to one another, something to do with the upload system or something. But I've never heard of videos just getting striked for reasons such as spamming, the strikes should say who/what is the reason for the strike. Such as a section of music, or a game company, so see if you can notice that anywhere.
 
Someone on Youtube's end is not doing their job correctly. Good thing you appealed to clarify the situation.

I've looked through ever email and every strike popup, and it doesn't give me a reason beyond spamming.

Im up to about 6 of these videos and every single one of them gets a strike I have to appeal.
 
How often are you uploading? Are the video titles/tags/descriptions identical?

I did about 2 or 3 a week. The titles, tags, and descriptions are similar, as are every other video in a series of mine. I have 2 other series with similar titles, tags and descriptions with no issues on those. My only thought is because 100 is in the title? But that shouldn't matter... you'd think.
