Well, when
I attempted to log into my YouTube account—that’s linked to my Adsense account—I
got the infamous message:

“If
you've been redirected to this page from a particular product, it means that
your access to this product has been suspended. Read on for more information.”

When I
verified via an sms, I got the bombshell:

Your access to this Google product has been suspended because of a
perceived violation of either the Google Terms of Service or
product-specific Terms of Service. For specific product guidelines,
please visit the homepage of each Google product you're interested in
for a link to its Terms of Service...
Next steps for suspended accounts: If you believe your access to this product was suspended in error, contact us...”
So I logged
out and logged in again, this time into the gmail box of the same YouTube
account. It opened up successfully. I opened one of YouTube’s default mails—the
usual congratulating messages of video uploading etc… I opened the link in the
mail that led to my channel: my videos were still there; still monetized and
ok. I even managed to edit one, re-monetized and re-published it. Today the
account is still fine.

My
concern
is: does YouTube flag accounts through auto bots? If so, does it means
that the
process has such a high probability of error? Was my case was a false
alarm or is it a warning of disaster waiting to happen? I would be glad
to hear someone else’s
opinion. Thanks.

Wink Oh, and
thanks to BBHF, I now can remove the (!) symbol from a blocked video and monetize
it again.
