I love @YouTube, and I genuinely love being a creator on this platform, but man, the way they handle YouTube Adsense is so frustrating.
In February, I tried changing from an individual to a business AdSense account. Somehow, I got rejected. Then I had to wait 32 days to apply again.
I waited.
I applied again.
I got rejected again (beginning of April).
I asked for a reason, but I wasn't given any.
All of this, btw, while making $0 on AdSense.
Now, I'm trying to apply again. Normally, you have to wait 32 days to apply again.
It's been 42 days. And I still can't apply again.
I contacted support, and they told me to just wait.
So, it looks like I'm now required to wait an unspecified amount of time.
I don't know what else to do. I thought that 210K subscribers and 9.5M views would have earned me a bit more credibility.
Maybe not, I guess.
@TeamYouTube is there any solution to this? Or should I give up on AdSense (one of my main revenue sources)?

I am IN NO WAY involved with this or any other crypto project. I don't do crypto scams.
Please be careful where you invest your money.
@dunik_7 Hey, I said it in the original article, but I'll say it here again. This was me.
I actually had pretty bad data leakage. That's why I accidentally got 85% (oops).
I have another video where I explain what happened and how I tried to fix this (it's on yt).

a student took the ELO rating system from chess
ran it through 95,491 tennis matches over 43 years, and trained an XGBoost model that predicts winners with 85% accuracy
he tested it on the Australian Open 2025 completely outside the training data
99 out of 116 matches correct
called every single Sinner win through the entire tournament
the champion, before the first ball was hit
no team, no funding, a laptop and free CSVs from the internet
this is the best breakdown of a real sports prediction model I've seen
study it or feed it to your AI agent
@phosphenq Hey! So that was me, hehe. Although everything here is still valid, I actually had pretty bad data leakage. That's why I accidentally got 85% (oops).
I have a second part to my video where I explain what happened and how I fixed it (it's on my channel).
I created a Wikipedia Speedrunning AI :)
Wikipedia Speedrunning is a game where you have to go from one Wikipedia page to another by only clicking Wikipedia's internal links. It's pretty fun!
In the video below, it's going from @karpathy (Andrej Karpathy) to GOAT.
To speedrun Wikipedia with AI, I tried two approaches:
1. Try speedrunning only using word/sentence embeddings
2. I tried hooking up LLMs to do the Wikipedia speedrunning
You can see how I built it in my latest YouTube video (which is live now)! :)
