Hello site blog readers! I think everyone has heard the news that YouTube is tightening the rules for channel monetization. Now, in order for newly created and young (not popular) channels to start receiving income from videos, they will first have to reach a minimum threshold for views and subscribers, and only then moderators or robots will make a decision to enable monetization or not.
As we see, YouTube continues to gain momentum...
Oh, I remember the times when I first uploaded a video to this video hosting site, it was 2011. If only I knew how this platform would change in 7 years, I would probably bypass it, it would cost more nerves.))
As you remember, at the end of 2017, or disable monetization for those who do not comply with the community principles.
Naturally, many decided to create new channels, in compliance with all rules, including copyright.
But in reality, everything turned out to be a little more complicated, because in the same 2017, YouTube once again changed its rules and now channels are not allowed to access the coin so easily, they must be checked.
And in order for the channel to be sent for verification, he had to dial 10,000 views.
Even though the video hosting service promised to check channels within a week, in reality everything dragged on even longer. This is especially true at the time when they began to remove children's canals (cleaning).
On the forums you can find tons of messages where users complain that their applications have not been considered for more than a month, even though all the conditions have long been fulfilled.
But the coin was still not included in the new channels, then the majority began to buy old accounts where there was monetization.
Even I had 2 such channels, which I created a few years ago, but then I lost the desire to develop them.
And only now YouTube opened its cards when it announced that January 16, 2018 is changing the rules again for creators who want to make money from videos through the YouTube Partner Program (YPP).
These rules are still relevant in 2019:
Now, in order for a channel to be sent for verification, it must meet the following conditions:
- Subscribers - 1000
- Views - 4000 hours in the last 12 months
Here is their official blog statement: youtube-creators.googleblog.com

And a screenshot from the UT help
With such an innovation they immediately killed two birds with one stone:
- They closed down the shop of those who were trading on the old canals with a coin.
- They gave an answer to those who could not approve an application to connect an affiliate program for so long, saying they were adding new rules.
By the way, those who submitted an application earlier, that is, met the specified threshold for subscribers and views, will have to wait several weeks.
For those who have monetization enabled, but have not met the specified threshold, the channel will be excluded from the affiliate program on February 20, 2018, provided that it does not have time to reach the new threshold.
I would be interested to know what you think about this? What other innovations await us?
As a result, I choose the natural development of the channel, so the coin will be 100% disabled in a month.
And now the fun part...
WHERE IS THE GUARANTEE THAT MONETIZATION WILL BE APPROVED?, when all conditions are met.
Imagine a situation where you spend a lot of time, effort, and money creating content and then it turns out that such a channel does not comply with YouTube rules and monetization cannot be enabled.
What to do then?
So at least it was initially clear that you could make money on the channel and the person continued to create content. And then it turns out that you have to work blindly, and then some smart guy from the inspectors will come along and say that the channel is slag. ((
In general, I am against such innovations, so I will sometimes update this post and share information on the next changes to the rules regarding monetization, since I am sure that this will be repeated from year to year.
YouTube is the most popular video hosting site in the world. Many people create their own channels and become bloggers. If you are one of such people, then it will be useful for you to know some things that will be the key to the success of your channel. Namely, the rules of the YouTube channel.
What do you need to know before you start growing your YouTube channel?
Video hosting has its own principles and rules that must be followed and then everything will be fine. Those people who do not want to do this are banned and their channels are closed.
Respect
It is very important to respect other people and video hosting. Be aware and follow all principles. Success is built on respect.
The limits of decency
It is necessary to run your channel within the bounds of decency. This means that you cannot post videos that are sexual in nature. YouTube is monitoring this and if anything happens, it is reported to law enforcement agencies.
Threats and insults
Under no circumstances should you post content containing threats or insults. You cannot call for violence and humiliate other people. Such channels are blocked and videos are deleted with various ensuing consequences.
Spam and fraud
Channel creators are prohibited from posting any information that is duplicated and spam is also not welcome.
Visitors must not be misled
This rule especially applies to political-themed YouTube channels. If your channel is about politics, then you should shoot and create videos about it. If a user comes to your channel with the goal of finding one thing, but sees another, then this is misleading him and is prohibited.
Tags
It is important to correctly tag each video. You need to write and select tags that fully reflect the essence of your video. For example, you cannot tag “sex” if your video is about cooking.
Community Guidelines warnings are issued if the creator's video does not comply our rules.
In other situations, such as if we remove a video due to privacy complaints or court decisions, we do not issue a warning.
What happens if you receive a violation warning?
- what content was removed;
- what rules were broken (for example, about adult content or graphic violence);
- how will this affect your channel;
- what can be done.
If your content violates our Community Guidelines, we will take the following actions.
Notification
We understand that most users break the rules unintentionally, so the first violation will only result in a notification. Please note that the notification is issued only once and remains on your channel. For subsequent violations of community guidelines, we no longer issue notifications, but rather issue warnings. If you do not agree with our decision, you can file an appeal.
First warning
Repeated violation of the rules will result in a warning.
Within a week after receiving it, you will not be able to:
- upload new videos, broadcast and publish stories;
- add your own video icons and create posts in the "Community" tab;
- create new playlists and make changes to existing ones, including indicating who has the right to add content to them;
- manage playlists on the browsing page using the "Save" button.
Access to these features will automatically be restored after a week, but the warning itself will last for 90 days.
Second warning
If you receive a second warning before the first one has expired, you won't be able to post content for another two weeks. Then access to functions will be restored automatically. Please note that the second warning is also valid for 90 days. Removal of inappropriate content does not affect this period. Warnings are automatically removed 90 days from the date of issue.
Third warning
If your channel receives three strikes within 90 days, it will be permanently deleted.
What to do if you receive a warning
- Check out rules and make sure your content matches them.
- If the rules were not truly violated, file an appeal in the section Status and functions.
Please note that YouTube reserves the right to prohibit the publication of content and set restrictions at its discretion. If any
If for some reason you have not yet heard about the new YouTube rules, then this material on the site will help you figure out what happened and why many are now discussing this issue. In this post we will talk about the latest innovations and rules introduced by YouTube in 2018. We’ll also talk about YouTube rules on children’s channels, which began to apply back in 2017. Many may say that they have not heard of any rules. Everything as usual. There is no need to post prohibited content on the site, behave correctly with other users, etc. But that's not all. Before you start creating your channel or simply leaving comments, read the video hosting rules. Don't know where to find them? No problem. Type in the address bar the link that you see in the image below or you can copy it directly from the text of the article: “youtube.com/intl/ru/yt/about/policies/#community-guidelines”.
All rules are divided into three large categories:
- Basic principles of the community.
- YouTube user safety.
- Combating a variety of disorders.
These three categories have their own subsections that deal with a variety of situations, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. Let's start from the end, that is, let's see what YouTube has introduced recently, what new requirements are now for filling channels or monetizing projects.
You can read the new YouTube rules, introduced just a few days ago, already in 2018 on the official Google Russia blog (see screenshot below). These rules relate to the affiliate program and, as it seems to the administration, are intended primarily to protect YouTube authors. Link to official blog: “russia.googleblog.com”. Still, it’s worth briefly telling you what will change this year.
The most important thing to know is that a big “purge” is coming. In other words, now, in order to be able to monetize videos on YouTube, you need to have at least a thousand subscribers. If you don't have that many loyal fans, don't despair. The employees of our company number your fans to the desired level. The changes also affected views. Previously, to participate in the affiliate program, the channel author had to collect 10 thousand or more views on all his videos. Now things have changed a little. You now need to have at least 4 thousand hours of viewing time in the last year. This does not mean at all that the number of views itself is no longer important, because the more views, the more hours subscribers and other users will spend on your videos. You don’t have to worry about views either, because you can do the same with us. The blog notes that these rules were developed after a long and thorough analysis of YouTube statistics and lengthy consultations with the authors. The administration and developers see their main goal as protecting authors who create quality content from ill-wishers, spammers or content thieves. For “old” channels, the developers delayed the introduction of new rules and requirements until February 20.
From the above it follows that YouTube has taken a good approach to unscrupulous users. All this “cleaning up of YouTube” began at the end of 2017. New rules have been introduced on children's YouTube channels. Things could get even tougher in 2018. For example, a channel called “Vlad Crazy Show” was closed, which had almost 10 million subscribers.
Of course, the parents of the channel’s heroes, as many believe, did wrong to their children, forcing them to constantly drink sweet carbonated drinks and eat chocolates from famous brands, but the closure of channels should at least be discussed with the authors, and not unilaterally closed just because the rules have changed . This is the opinion, for example, of one of the most famous bloggers V. Petukhov, who is better known as Vilsack. By the way, we also talked about the history of his success in one of the previous articles. The channel was closed for non-compliance with YouTube principles. There are other formulations, like the one shown in the top picture. Many bloggers, especially the so-called “letplayers” with millions of subscribers, huge income and even more views, also began to fuss, because their content could also be considered unnecessary, incorrect and unsatisfactory with the principles of Youtube.
