Ignoring the content of this channel (as I have not watched it, so dunno if it breaks YT monetization rules or not), pretty much the "fastest" way of getting a channel "re-reviewed" is twitter. But you also need some high profile, "high engagement" account tweeting @teamyoutube about your cause. This method is often quicker than and/or more favorable than YT own appeal tools.
YouTube's own human appeals process is often done by a low paid contractor who often won't view the video as a whole to gain context and only watch the section flagged by the AI, may have the language of the video as a second language, so may miss certain idioms of your speech. These contractors want to process as many reviews as quick as possible so they aint got time to look more closely / get another opinion of what was actually said or not actually be reviewed by a human at all and an AI takes a stab at trying to figure out if you "heavly reuse content".
One of the current "tricks" to getting a video monetized is to upload multiple copies of it with very slight changes (a perfect hash match triggers a "you already uploaded this" error iirc) and playing the numbers game, waiting for the bot to review them all, if none are "green" for ads, request review on all the uploads, chances are they will be reviewed by differnt people and hope of them sees that your content follows the guidelines and approves it, delete the ones that don't get approved, if you get multiple approvals pick one to make public and delete the rest.
The Twitter path (if you can get enough engagement) usually gets it infront of a YT employee to have a closer more indepth look and may come to another decision, if you can't get the engagement then with a whole channel demonetization then your next best thing if to still pump out the content as best as you can to YT's specs and re-apply in 30 days.
But the Twitter method can also "backfire", we have seen on multiple occasion when one channel got a video agegated or demonetized, complaigned on Twitter that other channels covered the same thing and were fine, got the restriction removed and then got the restriction reapplied and also getting the other channels videos restricted/demonetized.
I understand why YT don't publish a CLEAR set of guidelines (much like why game dev's don't publish extactly what they use to detect cheats) because someone will always game the system, however I know more and more YT creators getting highly frustrated with YT because they follow the guidlines, get struck/restricted/demonetized and on follow up get told they broke a rule YT have never publicly published. So they feel its a bit like playing football blindfolded, you know roughly where the goal posts are but you can never be sure when you kick the ball if you are going to hit the goal esp if you feel that YT are moving the posts and changing the size of the goal without telling anyone.
