Monetization: What results in a disabled ads revenue

I've Got It
Hey guys! I recently joined this forum and created my youtube account about 2weeks + ago. Upon creating my channel and uploading videos, I thought that I'd try earning a few bucks for myself by testing out the monetization and turning it on for my videos. Things were working out pretty well and it was a nice and slow steady pace. Today, I got a notification stating that my monetization had been suspended and I was surprised to see that I received such a notification.The details of the suspension are as follows :

Hello,

We recently detected invalid activity on your YouTube channel(s). As a result, we’ve temporarily suspended your AdSense account for 30 days. During this time, no ads will be served on your channel(s) or sites.

Why was my account suspended?

We found that you have clicked the ads shown on your channel(s), which is prohibited by the Adsense Program Policies.

We understand that you may want to know more about the invalid activity we’ve detected. Because this information could be used to circumvent our proprietary detection system, we’re unable to provide our publishers with information about specific account activity, including any videos or users that may have been involved.

Anyone mind telling me as to what I may have done wrong? as I am pretty sure that I did not click my own adverts. I may have viewed my video 3-4 maybe even more? but never clicked on my own Ads. Another question I'd like to ask is whether or not letting a skip-able Ad run count as self-clicking? And does liking your own videos with another account of yours count as 'bad'? I would truly appreciate it if someone with more knowledge on this area provide me details so that I can prevent such issues from occurring in the future. Thanks!

I would say liking with another account could be seen as dishonest but I am not sure if YouTube flags for that. I guess a bug?

yeah man, I have no idea whether its okay to do that or not as I did do some research and it mentioned that it is okay to have multiple YouTube accounts. and maaaaann to get disabled over something I'm unaware of is heart wrenching :crying:
