Hey everyone,

I’m reapplying for YouTube monetization on July 8th, and I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from people who understand AI-assisted content.

I run an AI-made sci-fi comedy/drama series with recurring characters, an ongoing storyline, lore, cinematic scenes, vlog-style footage, comedy, music, and action.

The channel has used AI since the beginning. I’ve created the characters across the past year using different tools: Midjourney, Dreamina, Nano Banana, sometimes ChatGPT, and most of the animation has been done with Veo. I also used Sora for a few specific scenes.

I was previously demonetized and tried appealing, but the appeal didn’t work. I was advised to delete anything that could be causing the issue, but without specific details it’s really hard to know what YouTube didn’t like. I deleted two videos that weren’t connected to the main storyline, and I’m hoping that helps.

The frustrating part is that I was never really given the chance to show my workflow properly on video, even after talking with Creator Support.

Since demonetization, I’ve had to reduce the budget per episode a lot, and I even had to pause the current episode for about a month because life and money had to come first.

I’d love honest feedback on a few things:

Do you think this kind of channel still has a chance of being approved for monetization?

Is there anything obvious that might make YouTube see it as reused, low-effort, or mass-produced AI content?

Would changing a channel name help if the original name feels a bit too generic, or is that not worth worrying about right now? (I like the name and my kids too lol).

Is there anything I should improve before reapplying?

I really care about the project and the characters, so I’ll try not to be too sensitive to criticism, but I genuinely want to improve it and give myself the best chance possible.

The channel link is on my profile if anyone wants to check it out for context.

Thanks in advance.
