Hey!

So, basically I was very much excited to you know join the Freedom network, and have been waiting for around a couple of weeks and finally my application was reviewed, but it got denied saying

"After a manual review, we cannot accept this channel as we have concerns about copyright content or other potential violations of YouTube’s Community Guidelines or Policies. You may request a further review at right up to 3 times."

However, I checked my channel and saw that I had 0 copyright strikes.. Here's the overview of my channel.



As you can see, everything is absolutely fine there yet I got the following message on my Freedom Dashboard.


Can anyone please explain how did this happen?

Thanks.

It might be that you have some content ID claims or that the type of content you produce won't fall under fair use or contains material that is against the community guidelines or policies - from what I can see from using TubeBuddy it seems like the issue of your video tags could be a factor behind this. As some of the tags your have used are misleading

I have also included below a couple of screenshots of your videos in order to outline the use of incorrect / misleading tags on your videos

Hey!

Thanks for replying.. Ugh, I see it now. I had been using this auto-tag thingy I found over the internet and wasn't really paying attention to my tags while copying and pasting since I thought they weren't a big deal, but now I perfectly get it..

I'll definitely look into it, and edit all the tags which cause this misleading from all my videos, and from now on I'll be more careful and will pay close attention to these tags.

Thanks!
