One of the strikes occurred last January due to a video I uploaded on a second account I don't use too often and the video was the trailer for VH1's I Love Money 2. Incidentally another user uploaded the trailer on the very same day I did and it is still available to watch today.
On my first and most used account I got one strike for a video I uploaded 3 days ago. I didn't get strikes for the videos that were simply blocked, but they did count for videos that were rejected after only lasting a few days. If I get one more strike then both of my accounts will be terminated and I won't be able to make another one. I do not want to lose my original account because I would like to keep the videos that escaped the claws of copyright claims for people who enjoy them. And I do not know which videos I upload in the future will count as a strike and which ones won't.
The reason I made the second account in the first place is because I wanted to upload videos that didn't fit in with my original account, but I recently found out that all accounts you create are connected and it's the same as having only one. I assume the reason for that is because I entered the same email address for both. Is there a way I can keep my newly uploaded videos from being "rejected" so that if they do get removed eventually they will just simply be blocked? Would it help if I switched the public viewing option to private, or put no descriptive words in the tag section? Or instead of putting my account into further risk is there a way to create a new account with a different email address so that it is not connected to my other ones?
Any useful information and advice is appreciated, I'm not looking for the "Just stop uploading copyright" stuff.
