Hello eveyone !

My channel got demonetized for 'Duplication'. I upload almost exclusively videos created by me. . I never re-uploaded or stole any video. my account showing that I have no strikes in terms of copyright or community guidelines. and my channel is partner verified..! and have over 100 k sub and 50 million view and got the silver award... can anyone help me resolve this problem please ! i have been working on this channel since 2009 !
any help plz ! i trust your experiences

thx in advance.
 
I think Youtube has nothing better to do. Never heard of this happening before, hopefully someone here can shine some light.
 
You said almost exclusively upload videos created by you? Does that mean you sometimes upload videos created by others? I have seen some channels with over 100K subscribers re-upload my videos with their voice-overs etc. I've claimed my materials through ContentID, and they deleted the videos after. But if the original copyright holder decided to not claim the videos, you still have content on your channel that is not your own, even without strikes. So YouTube can see there is duplicate Content on your channel and demonetize the channel, to be on the safe side. Not that I am saying this is your specific case, it can be error from YouTube side, but having other people's videos on your channel is risky and asking for trouble.

I'm pretty sure that I own all the videos and they made by me and never uploaded a video of others ! I don't understand the point of YouTube from demonetizing my channel, and wondering what I should do now ?

I appreciate your help thanks : )
 
One small problem here!

If the OP's channel has been demonetized, he is no longer in the YPP and won't have access to Partner Support. May I ask the OP what kind of videos he is creating, as he has not linked his channel in his signature?
 
It's kind of strange that you are not 100% certain. What is the link to your channel?
My channel username is : /Goldfinchfans[DOUBLEPOST=1528229040,1528226948][/DOUBLEPOST]I can see that many channels stole my videos.. Is YouTube punishing me the real creator and not them !!! I have a list of all my stolen videos .. Should I email YouTube with that ?
