They are their own worst enemy sometimes. I often simply need YouTube. To get permission to publish I often have to send an unlisted or private link to the various parties involved; this is a feature missing from DTube. Since the material is already on YouTube it's much easier to publish once I do have the proper clearances. In this respect, DTube in it's current state, is not an efficient platform for me to use so I don't upload much anymore. I still had one more incomplete render that I started for DTube and forgot about. I uploaded it 26 days ago since it's HD (not my usual 4K), but it will likely be my last.
So what was YouTube's reason for pulling your video?
They never pulled the video, just the ads. They said it wasn't commercially viable or some crap, even though it was gaining views every day. I didn't have enough subscribers to appeal the decision.
Later they removed me from their partnership program because I didn't have 1000 subscribers and I wasn't generating 4000 hours of watch time per year. I would need to be uploading at least 5 videos a day in order to get anywhere near that level.
At least here, when DTube works, I can generate SBD (which currently isn't worth much).
