I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone has gone through something similar. Over a year ago, I received 7 copyright strikes (around the same short time) that ultimately lead to my YouTube account being terminated. At the time I believed a YouTube copyright message meant certain uses were permitted and I misunderstood the rules.

I’m not seeking to become a creator again. My goal is to simply be allowed back as a regular user for basic Youtube features and to participate in the community.

I’ve explained my story in full detail with evidence in the Twitter link - https://x.com/marktonna1/status/2069400624739795071?s=46

However, I understand that not everyone may feel comfortable using a link so I've made a short video that quickly shows the Main tweet and replies I made along with documented evidence.

for those of you that have a YouTube channel, and have succeeded in your own eyes whether that be through acquiring 1000 subscribers, or gaining monetisation, or making $100. How does it feel? and is it genuinely worth all the time you have put in? basically what I want to know is what milestones you have achieved and how you felt in the moment. Reason why I am asking is I just made my first video. It took me hours of finding photos and building a story and in the time it took I could've done something else perhaps more productive.
