HELP! Your video has been removed from YouTube!

I went on to YouTube this morning to find that one of my videos was removed which really saddens me considering the time and effort I have put into it. I checked my email and have attached screenshots of the removal to this post. I have not received any warning about the removal of the video which I believe is unfair. I not exactly sure why the video was removed but I suspect it was because my description was too long or had too many links in it. Is it possible for YouTube to reinstate my video and allow me to fix the issues?

I don't believe the word 'Cinematic' is the problem because the title reflects accurately the content within the video.

That's the problem with YouTube. I can't think of any other way to contact YouTube unfortunately. It has a reputation for not responding to feedback.

Nope, it's gone and you'll likely never know why.

The best you can do is repost it (as it says you can), move on, and try to forget that it ever happened.

I had the same thing happen a few months ago and even spoke to someone from YouTube (both on a phone and via email) and still couldn't get an answer on why my video was taken down with the same 'Rejected (re-upload allowed)' message. Except for me it was 1.4M views gone overnight. Thanks YouTube.

How did you manage to contact YouTube?
 
Jizas! I read the title and thought you ment MY VIDEO!? Phew! Panic over!
Have a check in your settings if you've had any copyright infringement/strikes or complaints dunno. Could be worth a check.

I have checked my account status and it is in good standing and the email says 'Please note that this removal has not resulted in a strike and once you fix the issues highlighted above you are free to reupload the video(s) listed above.' How do you fix the issues?

Partner channels that have more than 15,000 watchtime hours in the last 90 days can get help by emailing YouTube. Luckily enough, I was also recently approached for a consultation (which is how I was able to talk to them on the phone). Sadly, they still weren't able to help me, let me know why it was pulled, or offer any assistance outside of saying I could repost it.

That's the fun part, you won't know how to fix them.

Make sure that the description is accurate and is an actual description- not simply a list of tagged words, that the tags are all absolutely relevant to the video, if you have links, be careful where they go and, if you have a custom thumbnail, that it's from or describes the video.

I don't have more than 15,000 watch time hours in the last 90 days but is it possible for me to contact YouTube through an email address. Also I can not edit the description or tags as the video has been removed.
