Was suspended on my Youtube channel in 2017. I reused videos from other channels/manufacturers and used affiliate links to Amazon. I was quickly suspended.
Id like to get back on with a new channel to create my own voice commentary related videos and it appears Youtube follows the same "1 account per person" rule as Amazon. So a linked account = suspended.
I dont want to invest time/money into a channel and have it destroyed because Youtube.
Anyone have experience with Youtube suspensions?
