As some of you know we produce educational bitcoin videos. Well our last one was taken down for violating youtube guidelines. Of course no one tells you what exactly you have violated. At first I was sure it's mistake but they just rejected my appeal confirming they see reason for the suspension, without pointing the actual reason though.
So please help me figure out the reason and also to make some noise around this case, beucase we shouldn't leave thinkgs like that.
Here is mirror of the video at Vimeo:

They don't watch every video obviously, maybe someone actually watched that one and saw you were soliciting donations. Not sure if that is against their TOS, I do it on my channel so I hope that is not it.
Edit: I think I know why actually.
Did you copy and paste the link to that specific video on a bunch of forums/posts? If you copy a specific video link they will get you for that. Especially if you don't get many views.
The views from someone searching you up vs. the views from a direct link can get you banned. Too much direct views on a single video sets off their alarm for the % of views on it vs. natural views(people clicking your channel, subscribers, search engine results).
Especially if you have ads enabled, direct views to a VIDEO will kill your site man. Just do links to your channel for the most part, if you want to help yourself even more, do a link that brings up Youtube search with your channels named typed in, that way it counts as someone searching for your channel then it counts as a "natural search".
The reason I know first hand about this is because I used megayoutube views one time to get some views on another channel, it gets you the views from tons of different ip address, but the percentage of direct link views was too high and they suspended my ad sense. be very careful!
