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.
You can get banned for WATCHING CONTENT ALREADY ON THERE!? I'm pretty positive they form their automated enforcement in some ways like this. I've always been suspicious that they've taken something I've said once or some videos I may have watched at one time and tagged me as "undesirable" but have no idea what it could have been. But to think they'd outright delete your channel over this is insane.

YouTube has a history of ignoring any and all complaints unless one of their larger content providers complains about something on Twitter and it catches traction.
Rather they'll do a bit of damage control to appease the masses temporarily and sweep it under the rug. Remember that time CoryxKenshin got hit with the same ridiculous auto-modderation everyone does and made a big stink because "he's black". Got Markiplier involved and it was reversed immediately and never talked about again. Funny how these issues are always forgotten about once the big names get their payout.
