Just got my first Copyright Strike

[conceptual23]

I made the mistake of using some music that I apparently wasn't allowed to. This was my first strike and as of now I still am able to monetize videos via my partnership with Machinima. My question is will this strike eventually affect my monetization option or my partnership with Machinima? My channel is just beginning to grow, I'd really prefer not to have to start over.

You'll be able to continue to monetize while you're still linked to Machinima but if they unlink you because of it then your monetization tab will be disabled until you're back in good standing. I'm not sure what their policy is on copyright strikes.

I thought machinima only partnered people with around 100k Subscribers? I haven't looked at machinima in a while so I guess they changed their ways.

They've changed up their business model to have a LOT of smaller YouTubers partnered and only a few larger YouTubers featured as directors. Turns out that helps their business pretty well.
