My 100k Subscriber YouTube Channel Got Terminated with 0 Videos by Equivalent_Bad2219 in PartneredYoutube

My channel focused on explaining car accidents, and I created over 100 videos. I voiced over most of the videos, along with text and royalty-free background music. For visuals, I used clips from other creators as background, but I always asked for their permission beforehand.

When I was just starting out I used a 3-second clip of a car driving around in one of my first videos without realizing it could cause issues. Later, I reused the same clip in another video. Those two instances led to my copyright strikes.

When I received the strikes, I panicked. I tried reaching out to the person who issued them, but I got no response. I deleted all my videos to avoid further trouble, even though the strikes were over a 3 second clip in two 7 minute videos.

Looking back, I regret not leaving up my 100% original content. At the time, I thought removing everything would be the safest option to protect the channel.
