YouTube did not give me a reason why my video was in violation of their TOS

    YouTube is owned by Google

    Some users must have flagged a video I had up which was titled "Paid surveys are NOT a good way to make money online".

    It wasn't a spammy video, there were not even any links in the description. It was a screen cast in which I did show some footage of a website which was not mine. Could this be the reason why?

    I appealed, and in their response it did not give me a reason why they've decided it was in violation. This even seems kind of fishy.

    People who report content that hurts nothing need to get a life.

    have you read YouTube's TOS ? if you think your video is safe you can contac them, maybe it was a mistake but I really don't think so...

    I think some one got jealous about your video and reported it.
