I still think people are making a massive assumption regarding Jeremy's actual connections with YouTube and it should be assumed he's full of shit and is just reporting things manually like the coward he is until actual proof comes out.
Once your channel reaches a certain size, you have a designated point of contact with YouTube. They aren't a sole community rep for you, but they are assigned to you. As your channel gets bigger, you get handled by... well, flatly, a higher-quality rep. At Jer's subscriber-count, his rep was almost-certainly someone in-house, whereas smaller channels prettymuch universally get overseas vendor/contractor reps. (exceptions, maybe, if the person is a celebrity or politician - ie, Keir Starmer has a youtube channel for some fucking reason, and YT probably wants an inhouse contact for him)
Well, the Kino Casino clips channel was banned due to 'ban evasion', right? That seems pretty open and shut.
The only way it would be ban evasion would be if their editor was the original editor for their run on YouTube, as otherwise he's a distinct entity. I'm not really familiar with how they ran it back then, but I don't think this was the case - I'm pretty sure they just streamed to YT in parallel with other platforms. To my understanding he was the sole one receiving the adsense revenue -- and, for example, Alex Jones clipping channels still exist in broad daylight despite the fact that Jones has been banned from youtube personally. PPP's YT account has stayed up, though Andy's was banned... when it had already once-before been banned, then unbanned, and hadn't been posting in the interim.
Normally, what's supposed to happen in these circumstances is that you get community guidelines strikes if the issue is related to content - and you have to get three of them within a certain period. Critically though, it's a period that starts -after- you get the first strike/warning, so you can't just mass-report a bunch of old shit to get a channel terminated (you could, however, mass-report to get all of those videos demonetized, which is a separate thing: you could have hundreds of videos demonetized which are not grounds for a guidelines/copyright strike). Crucially, if it was just Jer mass-flagging, there would have been a lot longer of an appeals period before the channel was terminated; for it to be fully-monetized with zero strikes and then to suddenly be all-at-once gone is what suggests that Jer pulled some strings.
The reason I personally suspect bribery rather than just nepotism regarding this point of contact is that something like bribery would be extremely hard to prove. The rep can easily just say that he was "strongly persuaded" that the channel violated youtube's TOS and justify his decision to terminate it (or escalate it to someone in the company and have them do it), and short of bank statements you couldn't really prove whether or not the guy had been paid for his trouble. That degree of plausible deniability makes it rife for exploitation, and exactly the sort of thing that hamplanet would brag about.
Last week, he started going on about "taking scalps" before nothing happened, which leads me to believe he figured he could just buy the service again. Had other channels been terminated, that might have drawn attention and dispelled that plausible deniability -- which is why, I think, we started seeing so many more "old-fashioned" flaggings, where the videos are demonetized (or age-restricted) and the uploaders have a right to appeal (which seem to be succeeding regularly and going through quickly). If the clips channel was open and shut, its appeal wouldn't have still been open - that's my read, anyways.
