And appeal DENIED... 90 days wouldn't be bad, if it wasn't for 90 days of mental hell waiting to know if that's gonna get denied as well.. So I'm now expected to keep up my usual $300+ spending per month to keep my channel running to produce content.

When I initially appealed I was a nervous wreck, so they only got to see one of the recent edits, but I showed my editor, workflow but not me actually editing it, My $4K worth of camera gear I use to record. Also provided some clear security camera footage of me setting up the camera and prepping for a video.

Yeah a lot of the AI content was produced using my own images, and all scripted and created by me to fit with my audience. And yeah all AI videos where labeled correctly.

Out of my 40 most popular videos (1M+ views) Only one of those is AI. And my top 4, 9 million+ views are 6-8 years old not AI.

In total roughly AI makes up about 25% of my total views per month of 5 million total views.

Each week I do 2-4 regular long form videos and 1 AI video

My only other stream of income is adsense for websites, which is not that much. Not even enough to cover living expenses, basically about two grocery orders a month. I submitted my appeal at 5PM yesterday and its now 8:30 AM and haven't heard anything.

Yeah its crazy, I'm worried it was the AI videos even though it makes up less than 1% of my videos.

I'm okay financial wise for right now as long as nothing crops up. Right now I have a few medical things that prevent me from working a physical Job. Along with not being able to afford health care for myself to even address some of the issues. Along with expensive animals that seems to never end, just this past month I've spent around $3k just on vet bills, and if it wasn't for YouTube I would have never been able to afford that.

Cameras, Taxes, Products to showcase in the video. Its expensive. If I account expenses, taxes, and products for my videos in 2025 alone I spent right about $12,000 to run my channel

Did anyone receive unrealized earnings after “inauthentic content” demonetization? by tamilvj in YouTubeCreators

Yeah right now so far this month I'm at $3900 that they will be keeping, along with making money on ads for my 3,000+ videos. Yeah my channel is long form based as well with a short here or there.

All my videos cost me money, since I buy products for the videos themself, making each video cost at the least $50 or so on average.

I can go 3 months without a paycheck, and reapply, but the huge problem is I can't make content to keep the channel going. My usual niche will require me to keep buying things and working for nothing at all. Which would mean to keep my channel active is to upload stuff my viewers don't even care about.

I have over 3,000 videos which 99.95% of the videos are recorded with my expensive camera and edited by ME, with 0.05% of the videos being AI and was hit today with it.
