Hi all, Thank you all again so much for your support. In an interesting turn of events, Google has begun issuing apology letters to many recently banned accounts and overturning their ban. This isn't to say all of us will suddenly get back on monetization but it is a ray of sunshine breaking through a bleak forecast we'd had before! There's no way to know if we made a difference at all but I'd like to think our efforts had something to do with it - I have it on relatively good authority that a big name at Google DID hear about our campaign in the very least. This isn't victory, but it's a huge step and definitely one we're thrilled about. Below is the text from Google's letter: "Dear Publisher, We thank you for using Google ads on your YouTube channel, and hope you continue to use YouTube and AdSense as a monetization platform in the future. Unfortunately, as a result of an algorithmic change made on our end designed for compliance purposes, your account was inappropriately flagged for invalid activity and disabled. After noticing the error, we’ve taken steps to prevent this particular issue from occurring again, and have re-enabled your account and restored its prior balance. In addition, as a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to AdSense publishers, we will also apply a courtesy credit to your account based on your recent earnings and the time your account was inactive. Please note, this might take a few weeks to appear in your account. We sincerely apologize for the error, and thank you for understanding. Best regards, John Brown Head of Publisher Policy Communications"
