YouTube Launches New Monetization Update... And It's Helpful π€
Summary
TLDRYouTube introduces a new policy update that offers creators a chance to appeal their suspension from the YouTube Partner Program before losing monetization.

π’ YouTube Monetization Update: Appeals Before Demonetization
This paragraph discusses a significant update to YouTube's monetization policy that allows creators to appeal a suspension from the YouTube Partner Program before experiencing demonetization. Previously, creators would receive an immediate demonetization notice, which could be emotionally and financially devastating. They had 21 days to appeal, but YouTube might take up to 14 days to respond, and another 30 days to reinstate monetization, leading to potential six weeks of lost revenue. The new feature provides a 7-day window for creators to submit additional information about their channel to YouTube reviewers while still monetized. This change aims to address the frustration of creators who may have their channels demonetized and then reinstated after proving their innocence. However, this new opportunity is only available for certain suspension reasons, suggesting that more severe offenses will still require immediate action by YouTube.

Transcripts
so I have a really interesting and good
YouTube monetization update for you
today that should prevent your channel
going from this directly to this without
at least being able to defend yourself
what we're covering today are incidents
of when a channel is suspended or
basically thrown out of a YouTube
Partner program and is no longer able to
monetize their Channel but before I
explain what's change let's establish
what currently happens so this I'm sure
you'll agree is a terrifying email to
receive because it's immediate your
channel is instantly demonetized no
doubt you'll be shocked devastated
stressed out of your eyeballs as you try
and pick up the pieces of your channel
and this is where I will open up a
question to the vid IQ Community has any
of this happened to you please do share
your experiences in the comments below
if you're willing to do so now you can
appeal this decision within 21 days but
it can take YouTube up to 14 days to
respond and then another 30 days is to
reinstate monetization on your channel
that potentially is up to 6 weeks of
loss Revenue which is especially
annoying if you win your appeal because
it proves you did nothing wrong in the
first place so in the timeline of
current events YouTube will demonetize
your Channel first and then allow you to
appeal within 21 days if that appeal is
accepted then YouTube will eventually
REM monetize your channel which can be
incredibly frustrating and that's what
YouTube is attempting to address right
now with an update to the policy the
plan which has already started to roll
out is a new feature that allows
creators to appeal the suspension from
the YouTube Partner program before
losing monetization creators will have a
7-Day window to provide more information
about their channel to YouTube reviewers
before removal from the partner program
the appeal process itself is something
that already exists and involves the
Creator recording a video that
demonstrates how they make videos on
their Channel at the time of recording
I'm not sure if this will change at all
but the important thing is you now have
7 days to do that while your channel is
still in a monetized state there is a
but to all of this however this feature
opportunity whatever you want to call it
is only available for some suspension
reasons not all I'm speculating here but
my guess is that this 7-Day appeal
window is designed for creators who are
hit by suspensions such as reuse and
repetitious content for more serious
offenses YouTube will still need to take
strong and immediate action but here is
the best case scenario going forward
your channel receives a demonetization
notification or email you appeal that
within 7 days and YouTube accepts that
appeal there is an unbroken chain of
Channel monetization without impacting
your Revenue now you do still have 21
days to appeal Le suspension decision
but after seven of those 21 days the
channel will be demonetized and if your
appeal is rejected suspension from the
YouTube Partner program is still 90 days
from a Creator's perspective YouTube
does have this reputation for making
snap decisions about channels that
damage thousands of hours of work and
years of emotional investment so this I
would say is certainly a step in the
right direction to give creators a
moment to compose themselves digest
what's happened and then work with
YouTube to fix a problem before any
lasting damage so what I would say to
YouTube is can you introduce a similar
policy for invalid traffic because it
does feel like a very similar scenario
to creators that could do with a little
more collaboration from YouTube
