what now
Yep. They gave very little context, but from the initial email I think it was from a video that I added to a watchlist(or favorited) with a satirical album cover. But of course, the actual video didn't get taken down. My account just got axed and this was before YouTube had even a minimal workforce, so even big time content creators(Like Pat McAfee and Maximilian) had serious issues actually communicating with them when their channels had issues.
This is the album art in question,

But again, it was never made explicitly clear why the account was banned.
I fought it for a couple weeks, knowing that I was dealing with their bullshit algorithm and automated service.
I just tried appealing it again ~3 years later as kind of a throwaway effort and it got overturned in 1-2 days.
