So sad to hear that story from banning your youtube channel.

I know that feeling, when everything goes well and then boom you lost everything, you work hard for it.

I had some problems with fb and yt. My fb fanpage lost recommendation only my followers saw my rolls.

From 700-5k views to just 3-20 views for every video.
I decided to appeal and my fanpage back, but for month my views were just low anyway max 200.

Yt is not better they without any reason just cut my views. From shorts from 1k to 100, because why not.

I don't know, if is still possible to get monetized and earn money from both of these platforms, because is harder anyway. My friend told me that now you need 8k watching hours on youtube to get monetized. It's crazy it's 2x more than before. ;/
