Youtube Giving Me Issues

I found out recently my ability to upload videos past 15 minutes has been taken away. I'm not entirely sure why, but it's frustrating. I had to cut down on my 1300th video special to make it fit into 15 minutes instead of the original 19 minutes. What's worse is, I have future videos that go a little past 15 minutes that I can't upload in one video because of this.

After much research, no one seems to know the story behind why some YT users lost the ability to upload past 15 minutes. I can't see why mine was revoked. I've had a strike on my account since 2007 that I've been too lazy to take care of, but if that were the issue, I wouldn't have gotten the ability to upload past 15 minutes in the first place. Other users claim to have no strikes and lost the ability as well. YT doesn't seem to be responding to this either.

I'm hoping I can get it back. I applied for YT Partnership in hopes of gaining the ability to upload past 15 minutes again. If it doesn't work, I'm stuck at the 15 minute cap, which will make some videos annoying to upload, such as the final boss of FFIV TaY, which was originally able to fit into two parts but now will likely have to be 3-4 parts. If any of you know what's up with this, feel free to comment.

1300th Video Special Next Week?

Almost up to my 1300th video! It's all ready to go. It IS Brawl related, but it's not another Silly Moments special. I don't want to reveal it until I upload it, but it'll be different. It's about 19 minutes long, which is the longest video I have ever uploaded yet. Thank god for Youtube dropping the upload cap.

Donation Fund?

I've given some thought to this. Others do it, and I wonder if it could be a big enough benefit to me. The reason I don't buy games often, is quite simply because I can't really go around blowing money like that. If I had a donation fun, I could use the money raised by my subscribers that feel I'm worth donating to to buy a new game every now and then to record and upload.

I worry that it would be taken the wrong way, though. I mean ultimately, any donations would be mine to keep regardless of whether or not I feel like I should actually buy a game with it, but I've always been curious how much I could raise off of subscribers, and I thought it'd be nice to put the money towards games for my channel if there were enough of it.

I wouldn't want to be viewed as a scammer or sell out, or anything, because that wouldn't be the intention.

So what do you guys think? Feel free to post your thoughts on whether a donation fund for my YT channel is worth a shot or not.
