Monetization taken away from a video with no copyrighted material on it

I Love YTtalk
I have a video called "I love yoga pants" and I deleted the comment but a person from this forum commented on it saying "Then suddenly... taken off for copyright." However, I used absolutely no music and I was singing a song I made up myself goofing around, if you google the lyrics that video is all that pops up. There wasn't tv playing in the background or anything. Nothing. Anyway, that was a few days ago and I thought he was just being a hater, well now suddenly that video's monetization is disabled. I know he must have flagged the video or something, but I don't even know what for! And now he messed up my account. There is no copyright strike or Content ID claim or anything against me and I have received no notice of why it is disabled. I want to know why it is disabled, and how to fix it because I don't like it being on my account. Maybe he will see this post and tell me why he couldn't just message me and explain why he thought it was copyrighted, even though nothing was, instead of being like that. That's what I would have done.
 
Wow that's pretty unfortunate, I hope you get things sorted, maybe contact youtube? o:
 
I will I'm just not sure who to even contact. There is no copyright strike or Content ID claim to fight, and they sent me no notification or anything. If its that easy to gets people's stuff taken away with no notice, what is to stop people from doing it to all of your videos?
 
Let me dig for a few minutes, let's see what i find.[DOUBLEPOST=1412209645,1412209188][/DOUBLEPOST]I found nothing pertaining to your issue, like at all;_; here's youtube's customer service number provided by google lol
  1. 1 (650) 253-0000
    YouTube, Customer service
 
It's actually a bug that happens once in a while, very random and very rare, although it's more common when you monetise and unmonetise vids or set them to age restricted. Call that number to see if they help or use the send feedback option, it normally gets fixed in a few days or up to 2 weeks.
 
Really? I hope that is it! If it is though, I would find it very ironic that someone would say a comment like that, and then the next day have that happen to the exact same video.
 
One of my first videos had something similar happen to it. I uploaded the video and monetized it. After a week it had very few views so I changed the title to something a little more catchy. I used a title that was a play on words. Almost immediately the monitization went away and there was no notification. I assumed that somehow the title change and loss of monitization were connected. I did a google search of my title and sure enough, what came up was the title of a popular book. AARRGGGHH!! COPRYRIGHT!! I removed the book title from within my title; but, was never able to remonitize the video.

This left me with feelings of inadequacy as a video producer. Sadly, I've been compensating ever since by shoving hundreds of videos up YouTubes upload A....
 
I've moved this here for you. There have been a few threads about this recently - makes me wonder if something has changed.
