Q & A

What happens if my YouTube channel is rejected for monetization?

If your channel is rejected for monetization, all the effort you put into creating videos, getting views, and gaining subscribers will go to waste. YouTube's team evaluates whether your content fits within the guidelines for monetization, and if it doesn't, you won’t be able to activate the monetization feature, even if you meet the view and subscriber requirements.

Can I monetize a channel that focuses on relaxing music or ambient sounds?

No, YouTube generally does not approve the monetization of channels that only feature relaxing music, rain sounds, or similar ambient content. While you may find channels that seem to be monetized this way, it is not a reliable strategy for long-term success.

Why are channels that use PowerPoint presentations with background music not approved for monetization?

Channels that rely on PowerPoint-style presentations with background music and text, like motivational or inspirational messages, are usually considered 'reused content' by YouTube. Even if the content seems valuable or educational, YouTube does not approve it for monetization because it lacks originality and added value.

Can I create a channel reading texts like the Bible or other books for monetization?

Reading texts like the Bible or public domain works alone does not meet YouTube’s monetization criteria. Although these texts are free from copyright, YouTube considers such channels as reused content unless you add significant value, such as commentary, analysis, or a new perspective.

Why are podcast cut channels rejected by YouTube?

YouTube no longer allows channels that are dedicated to cutting podcasts, unless they are official channels or authorized by the original podcast creators. Even with permission, these channels may not be approved for monetization, as YouTube tends to reject content that is simply repurposed without added value.

Can I republish content from other social media platforms on YouTube?

Republishing content from other social networks on YouTube, such as reposting videos from TikTok or Instagram, is generally not allowed unless you are the official content creator or have explicit permission to use that content. Even then, YouTube may reject such channels due to copyright issues or lack of originality.

Are compilation channels allowed to monetize content on YouTube?

No, YouTube generally rejects compilation channels that simply gather content from other creators, including memes, music, or viral videos. These types of channels lack originality, and YouTube prioritizes content that adds new value or purpose.

Is shocking or disgusting content allowed on YouTube?

Shocking or disgusting content that is designed to cause discomfort or repulsion can lead to demonetization. Even if your content doesn’t explicitly aim to shock, if it evokes negative reactions from viewers, YouTube may restrict its monetization or even flag it as inappropriate.

Can I create a 'reaction' channel on YouTube and still monetize it?

While reaction videos can be monetized, YouTube frowns upon 'fake' reaction channels where the content mainly consists of reused material with minimal personal input. You must add value with your reactions or commentary to ensure that your content qualifies for monetization.

What should I do if my original content includes a watermark from another social network?

If you upload original content to YouTube that includes a watermark from another social media platform (such as TikTok or Instagram), it could lead to rejection for monetization. Always ensure that you upload the original file, without watermarks, to avoid issues with YouTube's policies.
