Could you upload them as unlisted, so they don't yet accrue views, then you can appeal the demonetization, and then set them to public once they are approved? Would mean a bit of a delay in each video going live but *might* be financially beneficial. Just a thought.
I don't think it's a case of their system sucking, but rather, you've been flagged for automatic demonetization based on a history of wrongthink. They want you to go away, so you're going to have to find a way to beat the system. I got you on Patreon though
