Banned from YouTube, but why?
I got logged out from YouTube and noticed I cannot log in. Recieved an email saying my account has been shut down. I have 50k pics/vids on Googlw Photos. I use Google PlayStore, Google Drive, Gmail, and alot more, EVERY DAY, on alot of devices.
I had 650+ YouTube videos and was a Youtube partner. I have not posted anything sexual, anything with violence, anything with hate, any spam.
I filled in the form and they just denied it. I decided to write a more detailed response and I cant send any more requests because their desicion is written in stone.
I seriously wonder, WHAT did I do that was wrong? I want to access my old YouTube videos, I posted them there so I could watch them in the future with my kids. Now its all gone. Years of work, alot of money and hours put in. I can't even contact Google to tell them all of this. What should I do?
What I am thinking might be the reason, was me doing a Spotify tutorial video, and it having around 110k views, alot of "Spam-bots" started commenting my Spotify videos saying "visit www.*********.com" for free Spotify etc. Literally 1k+ comments all over my channel, with different accounts and tons of likes. People probably clicked those links and reported ME for it. Even though I had NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to do with those. I did not buy them, or comment these things myself.
It's wierd that YouTube wont tell me the reason for the ban. I NEED to get my account back, or at least get in touch with Google.
What will happen to my photos and videos on Google Photos?
ALL my thousands of emails and all accounts connected to it and all purchases made on that account?
All my Drive files?
All my Google PlayStore purchases?
I cant just get ignored like this, I need help, and I need it fast!
If they think my video breaks a policy, they could delete it and tell me what was wrong, so I could LEARN from the mistake and improve. I had ZERO strikes or warnings before. I just also got partnered which I was happy about.
Please help me.
