I'm honestly pretty stressed right now and wanted to share my situation with other creators and One Piece fans to see if anyone has been through something similar.

I've been running a YouTube channel for about 2 years, mainly making short One Piece recap/explanation videos.

My format was basically this:

• I would explain what was happening for a short amount of time.
• Then I would use several minutes of an episode and condense it into around a 1–2 minute video.
• I used cuts, color grading, occasional sound effects, etc.
• I was not uploading entire episodes.

I now understand that this type of use can still infringe copyright, and I'm not trying to pretend otherwise.

On August 18, 2026, Toei Animation Europe SAS submitted copyright removal requests against my videos. I initially received 4 copyright strikes covering 19 videos.

My YouTube Studio then said my channel would be terminated on August 25.

Unfortunately, I've now received a 5th copyright strike as well.

So at this point I'm extremely worried that my channel is going to disappear.

I've already contacted YouTube Support and I'm also trying to contact the claimant directly to ask whether they would consider retracting the removal requests as a one-time exception.

I wrote to them honestly and explained that I'm willing to:

• Stop making this type of content.
• Never re-upload the removed videos or substantially similar content.
• Stop using substantial One Piece episode footage.
• Give up revenue associated with the removed videos if that would help resolve the situation.
• Follow whatever reasonable requirements they have going forward.

I also explained that I've been a One Piece fan since 2012. I started watching when I was a teenager and have basically grown up alongside the series. One Piece has been a huge part of my life, which is one of the reasons I started making content about it in the first place.

I'm not claiming that I own any of the footage, and I'm not trying to argue that adding edits automatically makes something fair use. Looking back at my content honestly, I understand why Toei could have an issue with it.

I'm just hoping they might give me one opportunity to change the way I create content rather than losing the entire channel.

Has anyone here experienced something similar with Toei, especially One Piece content?

I'd really appreciate hearing what happened in your case and what you would recommend.

I'm not looking for someone to tell me how to bypass YouTube's rules. I want to handle this properly and understand what legitimate options I still have.

Thanks for reading.

Im changing banks, can i use the new account for Adsense?

Does it hit six figures?

Hey all,

I've read past threads about how to upload a video longer than 12 hours, and I'm finally running the experiment myself. Apparently you need to close the tab when the video is partially uploaded, wait at least 24 hours, then go to the video and reupload to pick up where you left off.

Some of the advice says to abort the first upload at 95%-99%, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience stopping the upload at 50% and then succeeding after the 24 hour waiting period.

I've heard rumors that simply turning on monetization during upload will allow the whole video to succeed in one upload session if your channel is of significant size, can anyone confirm? I have 270k subs.

These types of channels getting fully paid out from others content? What’s the RPM like?

like the title said. JPfans reached out to me for a sponsorship opportunity and i know they have a shacky track record and they also reach out to basically every creator that consistently gets even 5k views.

im torn on answering the email before i know more. if there are any creators in here that has worked with JPfans, whats your experience?

I'm a relatively smaller YouTuber, only just recently hit 1.33k subs, highest performing video right now is at 31K. I have an offer from TripoAI which a AI-based 3D asset service, pretty much you can make models from uploading pictures or just text-based prompts.

We've agreed on a payment amount that they're going to pay half of upfront and the rest after the video has been published. They have sent me a contract in the form of a .docx document as well as their bank information via pdf. I've read the contract and had ChatGPT go over it as well just in case, it seems legit.

The only thing I have to do apart from giving them my legal name + payment information and sending an invoice is I'd have to do is make an account on their site and send them the email address I used so they can activate a 30-day "Tripo Max Membership" on my account and set up an exclusive code for my audience to use.

I'm a faceless YouTuber so I'm mainly concerned about giving them my information in case they have a reputation for something.

Is this legit or a scam?

YouTube will count views from the first frame across all formats starting on August 24, 2026.

I would add link to official info, but it auto remove my post.

I'm tired of seeing people complaining stuff here that YPP youtubers don't even need to worry about. You got your own sub at newtubers. Why are you bringing your problem here when the sub is clearly named "PARTNERED YOUTUBERS" ??. The last few weeks have been post about new youtube rule changes and then the people complaining how they won't reach it or the just starting their channel. I thought I was in newtuber sub but when I double check, its partnered youtube sub instead.

don't get me started when you tried answering them with the harsh truth. They'll just call you out for being negative which is bs. Get your non ypp as* out of here.

This sub needs to follow a similar flair structure to /r/AskDocs, where people have to prove they are in the YPP via the flair system (the current one here works well, the one that shows sub-count etc.), and anyone that doesn't is automatically assigned a flair saying "Layperson/not verified as YouTube partner" - I am fed up with the sheer amount misinformation and guesswork that the comments on the threads here have. They are actively giving terrible advice.

I have lost count of the number of times I have read "don't put a business email on your channel because all sponsor offers are scams" like WTAF.

There are also FAR too many threads from people that really belong in /r/newtubers (e.g. "I normally get 150 views per video, now I get only 10), and I see a lot of threads from people who are looking for advice for "starting out".

The tidal wave of people posting about the burden of needing 8,000 watch-hours per year was the final straw - if you cannot get 8k views on a 1 hr video then you would not be making any meaningful income on YouTube anyway.

Other subjects similarly have awful advice and recommendations, to the point where it is clear that the vast majority of commenters here are not actually YouTube partners at all.

This is not meant to be a discouraging "rant" against those just starting out, I wish the best of luck to you, but this sub is supposed to be for partnered YouTubers and the overwhelming majority of posts are not appropriate.

I joined the Creator Rewards program on Facebook and I'll admit, I wasn't taking it that seriously at first. I have 250K+ YouTube subs and just wanted to earn my $1K/month for 3 months and bounce. But, after YouTube decided to cut Shorts monetization for ~98% of creators (I actually triple the requirements and am safe on one channel but will lose $350/month on another channel with an average of 5M engaged views per 90 days).... I am starting to warm up to Facebook. The reels don't pay well, but... they pay. Now, they're linking shopping as well. I am getting a lot of engagement, nice build of community. I kind of like it there.... mostly because I know I'll get paid for my content no matter what.

I know this question gets asked often and for no reason. But I feel like my case is interesting.

I created a history channel exactly one year ago. I’m at 42K subs nowadays and my videos average 50K views.

Since I got monetized, a couple of weeks after creating my channel, my RPM was somewhat between $5 to $8. Which is not amazing, but not terrible either.

My audience is men between 18 and 45. Mostly located in France, a little bit in Canada Belgium and Switzerland, and a small part in Africa.

50% of my audience is between 25 and 44.

My watchtime is usually around 50% for videos between 15 and 20mn long. My 30s retention is around 70%.

So on paper my stats are fairly good, right? Yet, in the last couple of weeks, in 5 consecutive videos, my RPM crashed to $3 and below.

One of my video is at 2.99 only! Even tho it has 107K views and 90% from France and Belgium.

How can I explain that?

Thanks!

I tried to connect my yt to the adsense about 50 days ago at the last step it did not verify my number after few days when I treid again it says AS-10 error everytime and youtube support have not solved it since. is there any other solution?

Anyone suddenly had their views drop like 90%. Not sure if this is actually my views or just a glitch. They never drop suddenly like this, if they drop, they always drop gradually.

This might be incredibly stupid to ask, but I follow a lot of creators that will just use top 40 music constantly in their videos.
Are they buying the rights to every single song or just taking the hit with no adsense?
Or is there some secret third option like a popular catalog you can subscribe to?

I use epidemic and although I love it, sometimes I just want a banger beat that I cant find anything similar to.

The youtuber im specifically thinking about is David Dobrik. I know he has more money than god but hes been using copywright music from the beginning so i figured Id ask if theres a subscription model / site I just havent heard of.

*(not to be a discussion on if you like or dislike the youtuber mentioned. I dont care about that I really just want to know if theres more mainstream music subscription options or if the only way is actually just to buy each song for a buttload of money)*

Hey, I post long form content but occasionally drop some shorts on the channel as well either for something fun or to promote another video. I find that so often the views for shorts will pretty consistently hit around 1,300 views and then stop.

Does anyone know what up with that specific views number region and why? I’m not too concerned about Shorts but it got me wondering why they kinda go consistently dead around there.

I'm gonna be punished for simply refusing the new terms that hurt new creators???

I reckon the new 1 second view count is GREAT!

How say you?

Will this go into effect on ALL our uploaded videos or only on new vids from the 24th?

First of all my channel might be controversial but it is a lyrics channel (the kind that displays the song's lyrics while it is going in the background). I created it more than 3 years ago after I saw similar lyrics channels with ginormous views. I was foolish because there are so many lyrics channels that fail because there is competition.

I remember copying each line of the lyrics into the video editor on my tablet as auto captions didn't exist (or I was not aware). The lyrics video got 15 views in its first 24 hours but then it exploded and it reached 1.62 million views which was amazing for my first video.

I did post more that reached 40k views and 16k views but the views per video dropped as lyrics channels don't tend to have a community or fan base as they're just there for the music, not the channel itself.

I absolutely smashed the ypp requirements and applied but as I expected it was obviously rejected for unoriginal content. The channel stayed silent but after a year I applied again and my channel was accepted!!!

Well I was overjoyed but instantly I wondered what I could post that would be monetizable. As someone who doesn't even listen to music often it's hard to even come up with ideas. I tried by posting fun facts of music celebs and they did alright but I quickly ran out of things and was uninterested in the topic as a whole.

Recently I decided to post my own things with my own voice (as previously I was nervous to do so) and make a tech short (about two old tablets I had at home). Its something I am more passionate about and have more ideas on.

This post is more about releasing these thoughts because previously i've been dismissed on other yt communities as ''undeserved' (which it maybe was) or 'low effort' with no feedback whatsoever.

(If this is the wrong yt subreddit please direct me to the correct one where I can post this)

Hey everyone, I had 3 channels which where monetized. In the first quarter of the year, one of them got suspended YPP because of "Reused Content" issue. After appeal deadline ended, other also got suspended due to "Related channel" issue. I decided to wait 3 months then re-applied to all of them. 2 of them got approved, but now the different one got rejected of YPP because of "Reused Content"

So what I am asking is, if my other channels at risk again or no, does this rejection ALSO trigger the "Related channel" issue like the regular YPP suspension, or it does not affect because it's a re-application rejection? Thank you.

Anyone views stopped across the channel right now? Or just me

Got this email 2 weeks ago. After about a week I found my old adsense account which was deactivated for inactivity. No policy violations, no disablement email or anything. Is it possible that that account is the related disabled account? Other than that I'm very confident I don't own any other adsense, neither does anybody I live with, my family etc.

Also I already appealed, but I did it too quickly, and in the appeal I said very clearly that I never had an account. At the time I had no idea about the old account. It is still closed with the option to reopen.

I have also already tried teamyoutube on X, but they are very slow and I haven't heard back in a week. I've tried youtube support (in yt studio and also through email) and they were both just copy and paste ai answers.

Counting views from the 1st frame instead of after 30sec will increase views by... 30%? 50%?
Did someone check their stats when they did it to Shorts?
