My 433K subscriber YouTube channel is blocked from monetization due to a “related channel” suspension.
The problem:
The related channel was suspended
I deleted that channel
YouTube Support says: “If the channel is deleted, we cannot help further.”
This creates a dead end:
Related channel must be readmitted to YPP
But it’s deleted and can’t be restored
So my active channel is permanently blocked
My current channel is compliant and active.
This looks like a system/policy loop, not a real violation.
If anyone has successfully resolved a similar related-channel case or knows a legitimate escalation path, I’d appreciate
