That's one option. Another would be that you need to pay for your service on a monthly basis.

Some way that for a user to have faith in the appeals process and purchase peace of mind. Just knowing that a backstop is there would help a great deal.

OP mentioned that they are a paid YouTube member, so they do pay monthly for the service.

Yes, you're right. I guess I couldn't let go of the idea that an an appeals process should be scalable for paying customers. I still believe that.

He says he's a subscriber to YouTube music. So he is paying.
