YT update: after 15 hours of uploading my video is at 70%. It's going to be really hard to publish a video every day if YouTube needs more than a day just to accept a file. @TeamYouTube creator support ignored me, could use some investigating.
Cap, Maybe try contacting through their email support instead of twitter? I have had better results contacting them that way for problems with my own channel. I'm sure you have already probably done this but wanted to mention it just in case. Hope you get it fixed :(
