It would be interesting to know what your account was actually doing if it was doing things you weren't aware of. If YouTube's accusations against your account were accurate, which sounds slightly likely considering you didn't even accurately know what you had uploaded to your own account so possibly maybe your account wasn't as secure as you thought and it could have been doing the things that they accused it of.

But remember it's just an account you had. Separate yourself from the account. Don't take it personally because it's not personal.

Check the login history on your Google account itself and make sure that no locations are logged in or have logged in in the past.

Because, yeah if you weren't aware that your account was posting comments on things that were spam or deceptive then it totally makes sense to close that YouTube account. You might not have been doing anything (yourself actively bad) but also, yeah you weren't doing anything (yourself proactively good).

But yeah let me express my sympathy and empathy to this situation. I had a similar thing happen last year with my twitch account. I got banned due to machine learning auto moderation for an out-of-context chat message that out of context yes it makes sense that I was banned but in context no it does not make sense that I was banned. But The situation ended up fixing itself because twitches moderation policy is that they can't pull favors and unbanned people for a minimum of 90 days. And there was a perfect storm where 90 days after my ban it happened to be my birthday and TwitchCon was going on and I'm friendly with a twitch ambassador so I think they brought something up and it was my birthday and it was 90 days past and with zero fanfare my account was allowed to log in again. But those 90 days was mental torture and hell.

At least you weren't doing what I've heard and seen a lot of people who get banned from YouTube were doing which is the strangest thing to my head, using YouTube the way you are supposed to be using Google photos... By just blasting YouTube with public and or unlisted personal family videos... Which is a highly unadvisable thing to do.

It definitely would be interesting know details. SOmeone using my account for spam was first thing I suspected as well, but at least the Google login history does not show anything out of ordinary, all my devices from locations I know with timestamps that I can match with something I did. Also the account has strong password with 2FA enabled, which I assume should give some amount of security.
