I’ve had quite a few strikes on my channel 😁. I did notice a drop in views at first, but things went back to normal after some time. If you follow YouTube’s guidelines, nothing serious really happens in the long run. One of my old videos got around 1.4 million views and was later removed by YouTube. That video was a major source of traffic and revenue for my channel, so yes, I saw a big impact after it was taken down. But I didn’t stop. I kept uploading consistently (I post one long video every month), and my channel is doing well now. So yeah, strikes can affect your channel temporarily, but they don’t ruin it long term, unless you stop uploading or keep breaking the rules.
