You tube Demonetized My channel over a policy !!!NEED HELP ASAP!!!
I have had my faceless 3D animation channel for over three years. Recently, my channel was suddenly demonetized by YouTube. I found out that I violated a policy called “Harmful Content Involving Minors.” I understand the concern, but the characters in my videos are not real children, they are imaginary animated characters who play, tease, and fight with monsters, just like in many other cartoon TV shows and YouTube channels.
Many other YouTubers with millions of subscribers are facing the same issue. YouTube says you should not harm a minor, and I completely understand that. However, many official TV cartoons that also have YouTube channels show scenes where adults hits or discipline minors. Why are those channels not considered to be violating the policy?
Most of us have tried to appeal, but YouTube either does not respond or instantly rejects the appeal without clear explanation.
Now my AdSense earnings, which amount to thousands of dollars are stuck. The strange part is that after demonetization, my reach has increased almost three times. It feels like YouTube is earning 100% of the revenue from my content while I receive nothing.
What should I do in this situation?
