I'm really sorry to hear about this, mate. I've been watching your channel since I was a kid and it's been a pretty big part of my life since. I really hope you get this sorted out soon. Good luck.

$10 says it was Tomato's "OH MY GOD, HUMANITY" line hat the bots caught.

Criken, you and your friends have gotten me through some extremely hard times and it's hard to see you through the stress I have to go through but please remember that all of your community has your back.

I still cannot believe they don't have a system in place for "trusted uploaders" or something like that. A system where if the automatic process flags the video or channel and they're considered trusted, it has to undergo manual review before any sort of action can be taken. Especially for somebody who has been on YouTube making videos for 11 years, this should never happen. It should be assumed in good faith that channels like yours are highly unlikely to break rules like this. Instead, they just sic the bots on everyone and have no means of discerning between a dummy channel that uploads a full TV episode and a creator that has been active on the site making original content for over a decade. Get real, Google. Fix your shit.

Two channels play the same game and make a video about it. Youtube: they're stealing off each other

I’ve grown up watching your vids starting with funny moments of getting owned in l4d. You’re a staple to my and my friends childhoods and bring back many great memories. Hope you resolve this issue quickly. Love you criken!!!!

The hell is up with these damn bots doing this, youre the 4th one of my subscriptions this week that had been flagged* for no reason*.

YouTube's bots are most likely so stupid that they think you're stealing your own videos from the VOD channel

Could the reason for demonitisation be the stream channel? Since both are monetized and your main channel consists of edited streams that are already present on the stream channel?

Hey guys, unfortunately I discovered a couple days ago that my channel has been flagged by a YouTube bot for 're-used content' for some reason and consequently lost all ability to monetize. This is obviously a false claim and has already been brought to the attention of the content review board at YouTube. All the same it's a big stress for me as not only have I been running this channel for 11 years as my main job but also brought on editors that rely on the income made from these videos to support themselves.
I'm hoping it'll be resolved soon but in the meantime we're going to have to put a pause on the new uploads as I simply can't afford to keep up an upload schedule of free content. I'm not asking for anything from you all besides your patience as we work through this difficult time. In the meantime you can of course catch more of me and the boys playing games on my stream VOD channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCflF... or live on my Twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/criken
Thanks for understanding, love ya
