I'm going to leave this video in place as a reminder of the growing pains of a new media industry. YouTube gets a massive amount of new video content continuously. Too much to have mere humans monitor in real time, so they use an automated system. Because the rules are changing so fast the system does occasionally blip. In the case of science and engineering channels it's not uncommon for a video to inadvertently get flagged as dangerous or controversial because of it's subject matter being similar to that used in malicious videos.
In Cody's case he had two videos flagged in quick succession which put his channel at risk of being locked or terminated. When you depend on your channel as part of your income it's a terrible feeling when you have no real control of a situation that could potentially result in complete loss of that security.
All technology and science YouTubers have had random videos subjected to demonetisation, and while it's disappointing when you've done a lot of work researching and presenting a video for effectively no reward, you just get used to it as being collateral damage associated with our area. I still put up videos that I know are at high risk of demonetisation because their randomness and sometimes risque nature makes YouTube more fun.
The text down below is the original description of this video when things went a bit scary for Cody.
Cody explains what's happening himself in this video from his new backup channel.:-

Those of us who follow Cody's Lab know it's one of the best hands-on science channels on the Internet. Despite having over a million subscribers Cody has fallen foul of the same issues that are affecting all the serious technical and scientific channels on YouTube.
He's currently got two strikes on his channel for videos that absolutely do not deserve them, and at this point in time he can't upload new content. In a worst case scenario his channel may be shut down.
If you love hands-on science then definitely subscribe to his original channel, but make sure you subscribe to the backup channel too:-
