YouTube Creators - Inauthentic & Repetitive Content Demonetization 2026

Gathering info on the May 2026 "Inauthentic Content" demonetization wave I’m looking to talk to anyone who has been affected by the recent wave of "Inauthentic Content" or "Repetitive Content" flags this month. I’m trying to see if there are specific patterns in how these are being handed out and how the appeal process is actually working. If your channel was demonetized for these reasons in 2026, could you share some details? What is your niche? (Gaming, commentary, research, etc.) When did it happen? What was the exact wording in the notice? The Appeal: Did you try the video appeal? How long did it take to get a response, and did it feel like a real person reviewed it? I’m just looking for the facts to help document how widespread this is. You are welcome to link your channel or message me if you'd rather talk privately. -- Im slow to respond but TIA
