Im at the point I have lost all hope getting my channel looked at by someone at .@TeamYouTube for the #YPP I have been waiting for 5 months! They say my channel will be looked at with in a month or so. It sucks when you try your hardest & work hard only to get nothing from YT 
HUGS always the youtubesmate never the youtubesbride, but maybe in time they'll come to realise how amazing you are and monetize... sooner rather than later...
