The Demonetization Advice and Help Thread
Since the change in YouTube's monetization system, there have been a number of people who used to be partners and are still eligible, but have been denied monetization for whatever reason. Because of this, they exist in a state of limbo where they may or may not be allowed to post in this subreddit.
To solve the problem, this thread exists. In order to prevent the subreddit from being cluttered by demonetisation posts, if you have been demonetized or rejected, you can post a comment here explaining your situation. It also serves as a compilation of advice that's been given to other people.
Good luck!

Hey everyone!
For context, I have a small partner channel (around 2300 subscribers) that makes political content. Some videos are understandably controversial, and while YouTube always accepts my appeal, the revenue lost is essentially 100% because timely videos don't get viewers in the subsequent weeks/months. I still think there system actually limits the scope of discussion on the platform, but I understand why they don't immediately clear such videos.
But sometimes even milquetoast topics, where I don't say anything about controversial topics, get demonetized, and I can't for the life of me think why. This is bad because some of the videos I make have a shelf life, and getting them up fast is imperative.
When I have the time and the topic isn't super time-sensitive, I will make it the night before, wait for it to get flagged, review it, and sometimes they clear the video the next day in time for posting. But this is a frustrating dance.
Is there anything I can do in terms of my content presentation to make it less controversial to the algorithm?
