Ok, it seems like YouTube has made another update this month. They will now monetize every video on the platform, even the channels that never applied on the YouTube Partner Program yet. This might seem like a good thing but, the channels that aren’t part of YPP wouldn’t make money from it. All the revenue goes to YouTube. Even if you disable ads, it will still be monetized. I guess this is a really bad thing. Man, YouTube have a lot of problems.
Comment what you think about it. And yes, I guess SAMTIME will make a Funky Monday video about it. Or maybe a full video or even a song like COPPA.
I don’t even understand why they did this. The videos from the big channels get the vast majority of the views, and those videos are usually monitized. They’ll probably make very little money from doing this
@Kalle69 they will make a lot of money, there are lots of videos with many views that came from channels with less than 1000 subscribers (not eligible), and they will monetize those and take all the money. Or maybe the channel have more than 1000 subscribers but the video is too short and it’ll never reach the 4000 hour watch time requirement. YouTube is getting worse.
Well, yes there are many videos on youtube with less channels with under 1000 subscibers or 4000 hours public watch time. But what I was saying was that the vast majority of views are from channels that are already monitized.
Just look at your watch history, or recommended and try to find a video by a channel with under 1000 subs.
To be honest, I’m still thinking about this, but Youtube needs money. Server hosting isn’t cheap, especially for millions upon millions of users.
hosting in itself, isn’t really that expensive, what is expensive is video hosting. But like I said, those videos will probably not earn youtube a lot of money anyway
hosting in itself, isn’t really that expensive, what is expensive is video hosting. But like I said, those videos will probably not earn youtube a lot of money anyway because they get way fewer views
This new update will be only good if the creators will get more share in the ad revenue, I guess.
This is really f-ed up, I tried of getting soft-p*rn ads in YouTube, I have ad personalisation disabled, and I keep resetting my advertising ID in my Android whenever I do a reboot.
At the end, people will either use Ad-blockers, or will use Modified YouTube Apps on Android or buy their shitty Premium subscription which contains nothing worth paying for.
I used Google Play Music for a year, and that’s a straight garbage service, Spotify is way better than that.
