All I can do right now is try to look at this logically.
Logic Point #1:
For 9 months I was shot gunning with my content to try and get traction. I talked about alot of things that barely anyone looked at, making it hard to qualify what the Main Theme was of the channel, something they look at. I may have had over 500 videos, but it was not focused content the likes of which I’ve narrowed down to over the past 2 months.
Logic Point #2:
Some of my shotgun attempts at traction took me away from what I was interested in doing. I like reviewing, I like discussing, I like giving an opinion. At some points I veered into news content, and that’s not what I am about. I’m about talking, not reporting, and some of that stuff I reported on was not stuff YT liked. Therefore, that could have been a mark.
Logic Point #3:
I might have cussed too much in the early days. I’ve ratcheted back on the F bombs now.
Logic Point #4:
The reviewers are fucking lazy and saw hundreds of videos with low views and interaction, and decided I was not good enough, ignoring the major traction I’ve gotten in the past 2 months.
In the end, all I can do…and have done already as I see it, is clean out all the old irrelevant content from most of last year and hope I catch what was keeping me from being monetized. The worst part of it all is they say “Review our feedback and make changes” but the feedback is worthless without telling me exactly why I got dinged out.
The next biggest problem is that because there is a 30 day cool down to reapply….I’m gonna lose my watch hours, which means Feb 2022 is going to be a hard push to rebuild those watch hours as quickly as possible so I can try again.
Needless to say, I’m pretty bummed out today. I’ll get over it, but this just sucks.
