"Matched Third-Party Content" Youtube Videos?
I have A LOT of "matched third-party content" videos that I have uploaded.
But I just have one question... does anything BAD happen if your videos are matched with third-party content?
Does my account get banned? I'm just really confused...
What ACTUALLY happens when my videos are matched with "Third-party content"? Does anything actually happen? Or will my YouTube channel stay the same?

It usually means that you won't be able to monetize the videos (earn revenue for views). If you "borrowed" video from other sources, the owners of the content would instead receive ad revenue.
Content matches are less severe than copyright strikes, which are when the copyright owner (rightfully) demands that their copyright is respected (because you likely didn't have license to post their content).

No, there is nothing wrong. The videos will be playable. But be sure that it means you have uploaded someone else's content. And it's upto the owner whether he wants to file a copyright claim or not which can get your channel deleted.
