Youtube really hates me, They de-monetised my 4 latest videos even though they comply with all the rules :( I've requested a manual review but won't get that until they reach at least 1,000 views :/

I mean you could try getting started with your Tags; The issue I was able to tell immediately was your Metadata:


...do I need to keep going?

It's not necessarily YouTube hating you just them wanting to keep advertisements away from anything War or Tragedy-related. You just have to live with it.

While YouTube doesn't want to say it and keeps avoiding the question they do hate FPS Videos. Remember it isn't humans but AI flagging your videos to demonetize them.
or if I do just change my meta and tags?
That helps out in more cases than I'd like it to. YouTube basically punishes channels for having accurate Tags and Titles there.
What about my latest video the recruitment one?
Well it has the same tags so that's probably it.

The main mistake YouTube's done there is that they pushed out the AI too soon. Training an AI is a huge amount of work. You need a huge amount of manually reviewed samples (Even more for videos) to even just get started, once having fed them all in you still need to review everything and add Feedback to it for millions of videos. I don't think they did all of those steps in one month and if they did it's still at the level of throwing a coin to see whether or not the video gets ads.

Games like Call of Duty can't be monetized anymore because of certain ingame emblems and the fact it is about War.
