But suddenly, out of the blue, I received a message saying that videos from a few years ago could not be monetized.
The reason is copyright infringement
It is said that the sound source used in the video is the problem.
But the strange thing is. I have never used paid music or music with separate copyrights.
And the song name seemed familiar, so I looked it up.
A person named YouTube Audio Library filed a copyright report for this sound source.
For reference, that music is

This is music.
This is the music that is often used when explaining something simply through YouTube shorts or long forms.
Now, YouTube has lost the copyright to the free music it provides to a third party and has issued a warning to YouTubers who are regularly using that music for copyright infringement.
Even now, there are three videos that have been reported for copyright infringement, and at this point, you can choose whether to remove that music or replace it with something else.
When I changed the music and replaced it with music with the same title that was in the original audio library, it was changed to monetization normally.
What on earth are you doing? It’s not even the beginning of the music section in that video, but it’s said that only that section was the problem.
Absurd
