Sorry you've been waiting so long. Our team would like to take a closer look at your channel before making a decision. Creator Studio doesn't show this, so this may be confusing. If it’s taking longer, it likely means your channel is held for a second review.
A better idea is to get rid of all systems that slow it down and make all of the rules very simple if you qualify you get it if you don't you don't get it but don't make it so hard that you cannot get YPP
