Why does youtube keep blocking my videos?

Youtube keeps blocking my video where I show how to get free giftcards. It's 100% legal and i'm NOT violationg the community guidelines. Do you have any idea? If I do a completely new video of the same topic it gets blocked as well. Please tell I saw thousands of other tutorials like mine and those are not getting blocked

There have been a few videos that show you how to get things such as software and gift cards for free that have been taken down in the past. I think it's that youtube doesn't like it or it may be the companies the gift cards are for might get angry so youtube takes percautions. That might be the case, i'm not sure, but it's a 50/50 with those kinds of videos...

YouTube has some strict guidelines in that area, I'd avoid uploading videos of that kind if possible.

Thank you. I just don't understand why is it always my video! Btw my gaming channel got deleted for this reason. 2 years of hard work 250+ videos and 3300+ subscribers . Now I'm just vlogging

I would also assume you're using an affiliate link for the website that gives free gift cards. Google do not like affiliate links

That's true! I'm using! Might that be the problem? But I see other people using those links as well
