Flairs:

Flairs can contain your channel name, your network name or both. Your channel name should be styled as a single name that can be searched for to find you. Please avoid putting a full or /c/ link.

Desperate with Fonts. Help me

I see this font used by everyone and it looks a lot like or is Biennale Bold. I'm not sure everyone has bought the license. It's free, but it doesn't do some symbols, like exclamation marks or quotation marks, which is frustrating. I edit with Filmora and it seems inconvenient to use another font for symbols not supported by the free version of Biennale Bold, so I was almost tempted to buy it. But I don't understand the differences between the licenses and I don't want to take any risks. Someone help me🥲

Fear of Copyright when exposing channels…

Hi guys. So I’ve been wanting to make a video exposing a.I automated channels within my niche which are getting immense amounts of views with no one seemingly knowing that it’s for the sheer purpose of making money. I am afraid these channels will copyright strike the video when it comes out damaging my channel. I really want to pursue this video. What can you all suggest to avoid this situation? I will be as objective as I can, emphasizing I want no hate directed to them, but to simply enlighten people about the content they are consuming and the goals behind it.

Almost There But a Small Problem

Hey guys, i’m past the 10 million shorts views and 1000 subs mark, youtube will process my views i think by 4-5th of February.

I have some videos which are partially blocked with the yellow warning sign on it due to music copyright issues used in the videos.

I read somewhere that if i apply for monetisation with these partially blocked videos, my application will be rejected.

Now my question is, should i delete these videos or make them private?

Or, this is false information and i should let my videos remain on my channel?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you 🙏

Original Content Still Reused

Hi, i started mid November and completed my criteria 3-4 days ago and applied that day but today i received mail being rejected from monetization program because of reused content. I am shocked. I made a video showing my setup how i made my videos. I just use AI pics and told them in video i have commerical rights for these as piclumen state it. PS it was faceless YouTube channel. Can someone tell me after how long i will get response and are there any chance they will approve it. Or any creator who upload his own content(not reuse) still got reuse content issue and then solve it?

Question About Multiple Adsense Accounts

Hey Everyone, I have a question that is kinda a unique situation. Me and my ex had a channel that we made a living from. During the divorce she took the channel (amicable) and the Google account associated with it. I started a new Gmail account, and a new youtube channel recently and was in position to monetize within 2 weeks. Here is the issue. The old adsense account was under my name and info, but it's associated with my old email address. My ex (we are working together on this) needs to change it to reflect that she is now the sole recipient of funds. I cannot have 2 adsense accounts so im hesitant to apply for monetization until this is figured. Is the best bet for us to completely delete the old adsense, then she applies for a new one under the old Google account with her info, and I create a new one under my info? Or can we swap the info on the old account so I technically don't have 2 adsense at the same time? Any i sight would be welcome. Thanks

Copyright Strike I reviewed their product?? (no freedom of speech?)

I need some guidance on product reviews, I've purchased the nail dip powders from Sassy Saints and did an honest review on the product. But now they've strike my video claiming the whole video is copyrighted.
i wasn't rude in the video, i was honest with some improvements for them. It was filmed by me 100% of the time, yes i should the products i've purchased.

this is what they've sent:
"The copyright claim is still legitimate after our investigation. Unauthorized use of our copyrighted content in your video is clearly against intellectual property laws.

Details of the Violation: Unauthorized commercial usage of our goods and brand name without authorization.
use our proprietary material in the video, such as product photos, descriptions, or other proprietary content.
We have the right to defend our intellectual property, and this infringement is against platform policies and copyright laws.

Required Action: You have to remove the illegal video ASAP. We will remove the copyright strike from your channel after it was officially deleted. Such legal action, including potentially DMCA activation and enforcement, will follow violation.

After the video was successfully removed, kindly confirm."

i've responded with the US Code 107 fair use policy but they is what they responded with:

"Your claim of fair usage is not valid. It is not authorized for you to use our goods in your film. You can review it without displaying it if you want to.

This serves as your last warning: take down the video right away or upload it again without our product. Legal action will follow noncompliance.

If the issue remains unresolved, it will be handled by our attorney, [persons email]."

i've also got a DMCA Rights Legal Team with this:

According to a complaint we got, video include copyrighted content that hasn't been properly authorized. Unauthorized use of copyrighted content is forbidden by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a law in the United States. Additionally, it gives copyright holders a way to ask for the removal of content that violates their rights. need your explanation on the reported content in order to resolve this issue. Kindly submit any supporting documents or information proving your authorization to utilize the content in question.
Sincerely,

DMCA Rights Protection

do they have the rights to take my video down just because i showed the product i've purchased? Also i dont think this DMCA is from the youtube team? their email doesn't have yt or anything in that nature but i dont know enough of it to be sure.

My Fiverr experience.

Thanks to this subreddit, I decided to give Fiverr a try. I used about 10 video editors. I eventually found two that were great. They really get it, and they create amazing videos that completely match my audio narration. However, the other 8 have been complete and utter garbage. I describe them as totally low effort and garbage, and they will steal copyrighted material and use it. But primarily, they don't seem to understand my narration. I'm pretty certain what is happening is that they google translate my script into heir language, and then they take one word and google image that word and use it. Therefore, I can some really weird image choices. One time, I mentioned the 1975 James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me" and they put an image of Melisa Macarthy in the 2015 movie Spy. And they kept using the same image anytime I mentioned the Spy Who Loved Me. Lots of really weird examples like that. However, I am so glad to have found the two good ones.

Big Accounts asking for content permissions?

Just recently started getting some offers from big aggregate accounts that post other people’s videos and give credit. They are not paying me, (of course) but simply want to post some of my already successful clips for extra exposure in return.

Was just curious if anyone had experience doing this and if it was helpful for you guys or if there was a major downside I’m not considering?

Heeeelp

Acabo de despertar con unos correos de YouTube diciendo que había subido a mi canal un video íntimo con otros contactos y que tenía 24 horas para eliminarlo, de no ser así se contactarían con la policía de mi país. El correo decía algo como "Warning YouTube", lastimosamente no tome capturas de pantalla debido a que estaba muy asustado por lo que bloqueé el usuario de Gmail y borre todo por miedo, ayuda

Just got monetized, what is a healthy amount of mid rolls?

I’m currently enabling ads on all my videos and I can choose mid rolls apparently. What would a solid amount be for 8 minute videos, and 20 minute videos?

Also kind of a double question, sorry. I make tutorial videos, so does YouTube take in consideration to maybe make an ad break just be one of the little banner ads at the bottom, or is it always a full on ad that plays?

Edit: I ask the second question to know if I should be wary of where I place the ads specifically or just kind of toss them in the video.

should I make a separate shorts channel?

Minecraft youtuber with 30K subs here!

I've only posted long form videos onto my channel because that is what I only post, and I don't want my analytics ruined with "shorts views / subscribers".

But recently I've decided to make my long form videos into tik toks for extra exposure.

I have made a separate channel for my YouTube shorts, and just link the main channel in it's description, but is that a bad idea? Is it better to just upload the shorts onto my main channel too?

What would you guys do?!

my first video (long video) hitting 100.000 views

After a few years of occasionally posting on YouTube, one of my videos has finally reached the magical number of 100,000 views.

This happened more because the video was in demand rather than because YouTube pushed it through its algorithm.
79% of the views came from YouTube search, while browse and suggested combined had a miserable 2.5%, which is really disappointing considering the video still managed to reach a respectable 100,000 views.

In total, it has 362,000 impressions, with browse and suggested contributing only 21,000.

Its CTR is 21.0%, but the average video duration is only 0:58 min (for a 5-minute video).

What has always frustrated me with some of my videos is that the ones I spent the least amount of time preparing, editing, or working on somehow performed the best on YouTube, while the ones I really put effort into turned out to be complete failures.

This video was no exception—I threw it together super quickly. I don’t even know if I spent a full 20 minutes on it.

What can I do when google refuses to pay me for more than 6 months?

Google has kept me in a support email chain for the past few months, telling my my bank information is incorrect despite providing documents directly from my bank. I'm starting to believe I will never get the money out from google adsense and that they will keep me in some sort of support loop until I give up. I'm sorry for the wall of text but here is the email chain from google support for the last few months:

21st Aug – Verified payment adress

9th Sep – Test Deposit Failed

9th Sep – Test Deposit Failed

11th Sep – Test Deposit Failed

28th Sep – Test Deposit Failed

28th Sep – Test Deposit Failed

4th Nov – Test Deposit Failed

19th Nov – Test Deposit Failed

23 oct – First reply from support ”You need to be above the threshold”

I was already above it.

24 oct – ”Please contact the youtube support team instead.”

28th oct- ”Please provide a screenshot of the error”.

I send a screenshot of the error

30th oct – ”…deposits failed due to an "Invalid beneficiary account", please retry with the correct bank details” Email #1.

I contact my bank, they confirm the bank detail I have provided are correct. I enter the bank inforamtion while I have my bank on the phone, confirming each detail is correct.

1st Nov – ”Please retry”

I confirm that I have retried the information several times. I also retry again.

4th Nov – ”Our internal team is checking”

I ask for an update on Nov 6th

7th Nov - ”Our internal team is checking”

I ask for an update on Nov 8th

11th Nov – ”We are sorry we do not speak you language, is english ok?”

I reply that english is ok.

14th Nov - ”…deposits failed due to an "Invalid beneficiary account" please retry with the correct bank details” Email #2.

I contact my bank, they again assure me my details are correct. We again enter the details for a new deposit, with the bank on the phone.

My bank sends me a document with a confirmation of account number and all bank details so that I can pass that on to google. I attach it to the reply I send to google.

20th Nov – The Deposit fails again, google has still not replied to the email with the document. I email and ask what is going on.

20th Nov – ” We are currently investigating a possible technical issue affecting your account and will keep you updated on the progress. Could you confirm that bank account details on the AdSense account correspond to the information provided by your bank? Providing this confirmation will help us ensure there are no discrepancies and assist in resolving the matter quickly.”

I reply that yes, I can confirm that the details are correct.

28th Nov – Still no reply. I again email asking for an update.

29th Nov – “We are still investigating a possible technical issue affecting your account and will keep you updated on the progress. Could you confirm that bank account details on the AdSense account correspond to the information provided by your bank? Providing this confirmation will help us ensure there are no discrepancies and assist in resolving the matter quickly.”

I reply that this is the exact same email I got the last time, and that yes I confirm that the bank details are again correct.

3rd Dec – Still no reply, I email and ask for an update. I remind them that the Nov 20th email said the matter would be resolved quickly if I ensured there were no discrepancies.

4th Dec – “We are still waiting for your confirmation for the email sent on 28th November. Could you confirm that bank account details on the AdSense account correspond to the information provided by your bank? Providing this confirmation will help us ensure there are no discrepancies and assist in resolving the matter quickly.”

I reply that no, they are not waiting for my confirmation and that I confirmed it on nov 20th and on nov 29th, even confirmed it on the 31st of October. I once again confirm that the details match.

5th Dec – “Thank you for confirming your bank account details. Please note that your document is currently being reviewed by the relevant team, and they are working on processing it. We kindly ask for your patience as we wait for their update. Rest assured, we will notify you once the process is complete.”

I wait patiently for the update.

26th Dec – I ask for an update, as I ran out of patience and assurance.

26th Dec – “Thank you for reaching out. We understand your concern regarding the delay, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Please be assured that we are actively looking into this matter. However, the process is taking longer than expected due to unforeseen circumstances. We kindly ask for your patience while we complete the necessary checks. We will provide you with an update as soon as we have more information.”

21st Jan, 2025 – I again ask for an update, almost 1 month later.

23rd Jan – “We understand your concern regarding the delay, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Please be assured that we are actively looking into this matter...” Exact copy of the previous email.

I reply that I find this unacceptable, I ask what the unforeseen circumstances are, how long will I be expected to wait, if this matter will ever be resolved or if am being run in a loop by ai answers.

24th jan – “I want to assure you that I’ve consulted with the resolver team regarding your issue and am actively following up with them for the latest updates. While I don’t have a resolution to share at this moment, I’m committed to keeping you informed as soon as I receive any new information.”

31st Jan - ”…deposits failed due to an "Invalid beneficiary account" please retry with the correct bank details” Email #3.

What can I even do at this point? I've entered my bank information several times, twice with my bank on the phone.

I have provided my bank details with an official document containing my bank information.

I'm just at a complete loss on how to proceed now.

How was your channel hacked? How to prevent it happening again?

Hi all, I realised that I don't know if I'm properly set up to prevent my channel getting hijacked/hacked/taken over.

- What was your experience? I'm worried I've overlooked something obvious.

- It's linked to my personal gmail with 2FA - I thought about changing it to another email but that would mean converting the channel to brand channel, meaning I'd lose my comments (is this is a big deal?)

- I often get emails with URLs, but they generally all linked to steam - I'm usually pretty aware of sketchy links, but just not sure how they can access my account

Copyright claim and Submitting a retraction

I uploaded my first 5 shorts a few days ago and just this morning I received 2 copyright claims from an indonesian youtuber with 5k subscribers who used the same stock video in their short months ago. The shorts in question have the same video but said video is not owned by that channel and is a free stock video from Pixabay called Sunset sunrise lanzarote free stock video by Matthew Groeneveld. The texts/content in both videos are not the same as they are different topics and different languages.

Screenshot of one of my shorts

Screenshot of the claimant's shorts

I submit the retraction and gave the links to both the video and the original owner/uploader/creator's profile. What's your guess on the chances of it being accepted?

Is this CPM abnormally high?

So I was just monetized 2 days ago for my mobile game channel, and my CPM is $43.60 CAD, around like 29 ish USD I think, from what I've seen this is really high? Will this drop drastically and only looks high because I was only just monetized?

Publishing your channel on any Reddit Sub = RISKY Business !!

Publishing your channel on any Reddit Sub = RISKY Business !!
I'm older and been around the block a few times and sadly know what humans are capable of and how spiteful and hateful they can be. I reckon your dicing with danger publishing/advertising your YT channel on Reddit. Always remember what EVER you post, regardless of how benign you think it is.....you're going to piss someone off (even if you're just to successful!). Then you're vulnerable to a hate campaign on your channel that who know where it could lead to and the consequences for you.
Its ridiculously easy for someone to cause you grief.
Just something for you to ponder.

The Vertical live saved my channel

Hey folks, I just wanted to share something with those that can take advantage of it. This new vertical live feed basically gave my channel a new life. I had been doing Live content for about a year, was lucky if anyone got a notification about it on the horizontal feed... I was still able to get over the 1k subs needed but Maxed out maybe 20 concurrent viewers on any live stream. So one day, I decided to try the vertical live feed, since I have general success with my shorts, it seemed like a good spot to drop into. Let me just say, the vertical live is what monetized the channel... A year of the full screen content and no traffic was moving.... 1 MONTH in the vertical live feed and the channel more than doubled in subscribers from 1500 to 3500.

That being said, I don't really like it... When I started, I put a lot of time into thumbnails, titles screen graphics and overlays etc... No one was seeing that stuff. Now I am literally just talking crap for an hour and get 40K views and 1000 hrs of watch time. No graphics, no cool overlays and pictures, just talking crap. I got into youtube to be creative and to raise awareness for a couple of causes I am heavily invested in. Granted, it is nice to see all of the new subs, but it feels like I am cheating because I am doing a fraction of the work I was doing before, but getting 10x the viewer interaction. Either way, it is a good thing for the channel to finally grow and for my new audience to be as interactive as they are; I just feel like youtube gave NO LOVE to the previous content even though CTR was over 10% for most vids. I honestly think if they could stop the shorts feed from sending me 40k sets of eyes and 100 new subs in an hour it would definitely stop it, but something is preventing that from happening. So for now, I will ride this little wave on the vertical and hopefully be able to get back to the full screen content later.

For anyone getting little to no traffic on the horizontal, try the vertical(if you are a live creator) and if you are not doing LIVE videos, create the video then play it through OBS (screenshare a scene) with the vertical live plugin Aitum and Youtube will treat it like a live. For anyone feeling down on the growth of their channel, it is worth it to try vertical to get your numbers going. Lastly, I ALWAYS do Subscribers only Live videos with a 5minute wait time. It gets people to subscribe faster and they have to give you a sub and 5 minutes of watch time just to be in the chat. Keeps the trolls down to a minimum and allows the faithful subscribers to be more interactive. If you feel like checking out my channel, it is Purge the BS on youtube. I would love to see you in the next live chat!

How to actually get people to subscribe?

Have much more watched hours than subscribers which i would say is ok, but all of the videos are 100% not subscribed views or 99%. It would be good if you can share your personal experience on how to gain more subscribers from new videos. Thanks

Will making content where I talk little stop me from being partnered?

I currently only upload short tech related content (5-8 minutes) like my last video "ChatGPT Vs Deepseek - I asked them both to create the same 3 applications". I used my voice in these videos.

I am planning on doing voiceless long coding tutorials 1 - 4 hours on things like "Building a Pokémon Game in Python" or "Building a Mario Game in 10 minutes"

I noticed that ASMR and Lofi are high on Google trends. Those "No Copyright" Music Videos, can I use them over the videos while I code?
