You know it'll go tits up again. The trouble is de-monetised videos are not promoted and neither are videos that have not been monetised in the first place so we have to click the monetisation button if we want our channels to grow even though our smaller channels will never really see any money from doing so. It is stacked up against us.... just gotta keep swimming!

Again it is in Google's (or YouTube's) best interest in doing what they do.. If I was them, honestly I would be doing the same. We have to step back and understand that this is a business for them, and they need to be making profit, profit comes from advertising/advertisers. If advertisers are not happy with the video content that their ads are running on, they will put out and profits will go down the drain.

YouTube gives us a platform to share our content for free, we don't pay them (unless you use their paid promos which is entirely different aspect), they let us post whatever we like to. In fact, they pay us (even though just a tiny fraction) if they run ads on our vids. So really, I don't see why they don't have the authority to decide which vids are OK to put ads on and which are not.

From our end, we just need to make sure we don't put out hate videos, or violence, or gore, etc. Try to mind our language, use proper titles and descriptions. Avoid click-baiting, trolling in comment replies, etc.

I'm not sure how the effect is on channel growth.

You have some good points but what we are running into is the mysterious yellow warning coming out at random intervals. How is it possible for the algorithm for copyrighted music to hit nearly as soon as you upload and you receive notification but this mess hits without warning and can hit at any point long the way for seemingly no real reason.

Perhaps we are the beta test?

The "Beta" testing thing seems to be what we have to put up with these days, certainly with games and mobile phones!

I do not see myself living of YT's royalties, I do motovlogging because i like it, if one of my videos gets viralized it would be great but i really know that the probabilities are close to zero, YT intention is good to try to clean up its content. Althought is like killing a few cockroaches leanning out the door, while there are people feeding them from the inside.

It's true that sometimes they flag or copyright claim quite unexpectedly.. I believe their concept is, better to make a wrong flag/claim and have you dispute it, than letting them slip pass.. Why? It's safer for them that way because even some similar or totally non-related content gets flagged so the chances of legit copyright infringement happening is much unlikely to happen. Once you dispute and they see it's a mistake they can just remove the flag/claim and close case, rather than deal with a legit lawsuit for copyright violation from the big companies.
