It's been two weeks since YouTube has demonetized my 2D animation channel, DoggyZuko, on YT. I'm reaching out to @TeamYouTube once more as I think this is still an honest misunderstanding.
To those curious, I've attached my video appeal here. Let me know if you think this is still considered mass-produced or fits the criteria for an "Inauthentic Content" violation.
I’ve still been hit and was denied twice in my appeal. Content that, I must admit, is generated with AI PNG files but then hand animated by me to create, authentic, video content on the world of animals and their behaviours. I hope someone as close to YouTube as you has a chance to look at it.
Funny how YouTube can suddenly solve false demonetization issues in 48 hours when the right partner contacts them
The problem is that regular creators don’t get the same attention: auto-rejected appeals, copy-paste support replies, and no human review
Proper support shouldn’t be reserved for CMS partners and insiders
UPDATE: @TeamYouTube has denied my appeal for the channel, DoggyZuko, in the same way hundreds of other creators were denied... with an automated message.
I am extremely convinced that a human employee from YouTube hasn't checked through my appeal, as I have even made a 12-minute YouTube video in my Studio that has yet to be seen (despite being linked in my appeal).
Each video takes 3-5 days to make from scratch, from the script-writing to the animation process. I am ironically getting denied monetization with an automated message that was sent to hundreds of creators trying to appeal.
If anyone outside of YouTube has any solutions, please reach out to me via DMs. I'll keep updating this daily.

YouTube has demonetized my 2D animation channel, DoggyZuko, for inauthentic content.
I believe this was an honest mistake by the team, as I have sent a video appeal detailing the extensive process it takes to make these animations.
Yes, I use AI as a tool, for image generations (backgrounds, characters, etc.), as well as my voiceover for these videos.
But my intentions are never to mass-produce my content and provide little to no value to my audience. Everything from the ideas, to the scripts, to the editing process, are all intended to provide a unique perspective on the world of animals and their behaviors.
I believe this is a mistake, and hope YouTube recognizes the unfortunate situation. Please don't hesitate to reach out via DMs. @TeamYouTube@YouTubeCreators@YouTube
@TeamYouTube "If it’s your first rejection, you can re-apply to the YouTube Partner Program 30 days after you get your rejection email."
The fact that you don't even read your FAQ makes me think this is an automated chat. In the nicest way possible, do better.
