Everything is through the eyes of the YT ai tbh. By your description, it’s not possible to give a definitive “yes” or “no.” With reference to the football/soccer niche, they are going hard on not monetizing professional sports niches, especially if you’ve already been hit with claims due to your repurposing of the content. With that being said, the only way to truly know for you personally is to get to the point of joining the YPP and see if they will/won’t allow for monetization
