Please help, question about possible demonetization or getting kick out of partner?

Question

Hi, I'm pretty new to youtube (posting), i usually watched videos. I made some videos that took off recently, so I'm an artist and I played a game called gartic phone on people's twitch streams, they reacted very happy or positively, and I keep those short clips and make reaction videos out of it, I sometimes draw fanart or draw a portrait of them in the vids. I got accepted into the youtube partner program like 3-5 days ago, I only have about 7-8 of these videos uploaded and I have about 14 made in general waiting to upload the rest. I just recently googled and heard it doesnt count as transformative. I really need some advice because It would be a very big shame to lose my channel or get demonetized after getting partner in such a short time frame, my channel gained 9k subs in about 2 weeks.

  1. I got permission from about the first 30 streamers I used but I didn't ask every other future streamer (so far everyone who has found out they are in the video are happy about it, and I even put in my description that Im willing to remove them from video if they have an issue about it. I stopped asking permission since it was so many streams I played with and it almost sounded like self promotion which i hate doing. And sometimes they dont get back to me on discord with a yes or no.
  2. Should i private or unlist the videos i already made? even if its making me money right now.
  3. If I add my own voice in the intro, and in some parts of the video kinda like daily dose, would that make it safe? (im also okay with deleting parts if a streamer has issue with it)
  4. If i ask every streamer in those videos if they are okay with being in it, would that make all future videos safe?
  5. How likely is youtube to take action against me and how much time do I have? I also post some other content too like timelapses and tutorials, but i do have about 8 videos that are reactions to my art.

I can dm you my channel if that would help you, just message me on here, I would appreciate this so much ty.
