Here are the answers to my conversation.
Thanks for patiently waiting. Content intended to impersonate a personal channel is not allowed on YouTube. YouTube also enforces trademark holder rights. When a channel or content in the channel causes confusion about the source of goods and services advertised, it may not be allowed. If you feel that your or another creator’s channel is being impersonated, you can report the channel by following the instructions here. And here is the url, how to report a video, Short, channel, et cetera. It says, I hope this helps a lot with your concern. I want to make sure we’ve got everything covered. Have we discussed everything you need to?
My answer
I’ve reported a channel, but it was not removed what to do?
YouTube’s answer
I see. If that’s the case, then it would be best to report the channel again.
My answer
Is there anything else I can do besides reporting numerous times?
YouTube’s answer
Unfortunately, this is the best possible way we can provide for you at the knowledge. Other than that, you can always send us feedback with any suggestions you may have so that our engineers may look at it, may implement it in the future.
If I click on this link, it takes you to Google’s send feedback form where you can report a YouTube issue.
Here’s how YouTube uses the feedback.
Your feedback goes directly to YouTube and we use it to troubleshoot issues, make product improvements, and fix problems. Video creators do not see any feedback that are sent through the Send Feedback tool. While we may not reply to every report, we’re reviewing and working to fix issues as fast as we can.
