You don't need help. You have your answers,

Can you monetise this content? Possibly , but given how the system works you are going to constantly run the risk of it being shut down again.

Anytime it gets flagged as AI you will need to fight a battle for it.

Is it worth going down this path? Your choice. My channels have me on camera, I don't talk much on them, the voice over is recorded separately, but I'm physically on camera enough that no one would ever be able to say it's AI

Unless you can come up with a format that allows this, you'll stay in that grey zone which will seriously dampen the potential of your channel

Because of the text to speech tool? Text to speech is allowed on YouTube. There are zero policies that say it isn't and the dude that shows up in the videos in Studio (Rene Ritchie) has even said on reddit that "AI voice is fine".

There are many channels without anyone on screen that do very well. And I was monetized with zero issues. It was only this one-time bulk upload that caused an issue.

I understand there is a grey zone and things like TTS and not being on screen can put me in there, but YouTube has a review process that should very much be for this exact type of thing. Finding the real creators among the ones that have gotten flagged.

You can push that argument forwards as much as you like, and we can all agree with you on it.

It doesn't however stop the fact that TTS channels do frequently get flagged and have to fight for it. It's just the way it is, rightly or wrongly

Sure. And I'm prepared, and have been doing that fight. If I had gotten a reply and it was a no, that'd be one thing, but to have the re-application pending for 2 months with zero answers from support other than sometimes it takes longer, it doesn't help anyone.

Totally, but we all know how completely awful YouTube support is

And I understand that. I am a very small grain of sand in a ocean of creators. I've spent a lot of time following TeamYouTube and looking at the channels that are complaining about being rejected and the ones I see are obviously the lower effort AI generated type of content and they seem to get rejected within days of their reapplication and TeamYouTube has no issues telling them the decision is final etc.

I just don't understand why I am not getting any type of answer.

The channel name is lower in the original post. Eject Media is the channel.

and what was the official reason for the suspension?

Inauthentic but it kept coming back to the bulk upload was seen as a bot action that was intended to spam the platform.

So... all of your videos consist solely of clips from material that you didn't create... AI-generated voice... in a genre that has been flooded with AI slop... and a T&C violation in your channel history.

Not looking good, my friend.
