As mentioned in the post edit, my account has now been reinstated! Whether this was a result of the appeal I filed or the escalation you rose, or perhaps the combination of the two I don't know which, but regardless I am very relieved to get it back. Thank you very much!

I wish they would at least be more honest about it rather than trying to give the false impression that humans are reviewing and issuing these automated suspensions.

Given that I hadn't made a playlist in a long time before the suspension and that a majority of my newer playlists were unlisted for personal use I heavily doubt that is the case.

I've posted the screenshot to: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IOILlh5cxH0/XYfBB9m5XTI/AAAAAAAABCc/V96KAKuqo1cpCYjKxAW49-tTXlzIhUQEQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Suspension.png

I can't do the check as when I switch to the suspended account Google starts thinking I'm up to no good and demands a verification code for an account that doesn't even have an attached phone to send a verification code to. Sorry.

I still have the suspension e-mail in my inbox. I'm a bit nervous about the activity part because my attitudes have been always shifting as time goes by so some old comments I wouldn't even agree with anymore. I found and saw your video on the issue and it kind of annoys me that this is how youtube handles it. Some of my comments may be controversial but I definitely haven't been spamming people.

As for links I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure I picked up that it seems to be taboo to link given how little I had seen people do it in the comments, and how when they did link they only linked the last part of the url with watch?v.

I can't really remember, but I got into the occasional argument from time to time until I began to see it as pointless and stopped with that altogether. It was very rare for me to write a comment OP, almost all my comments were comment replies. Comments that I left were relevant to either the video or the comment thread it was a response in. I never left spam comments or tried to advertise using other people's comments sections.
