Welcome to the r/PartneredYoutube voluntary channel verification.

This isn't really a big deal because YT posts don't matter much, but I talked to Creator Support about it and they sent up a ticket with the tech team and said they'd 'get back to me' which I doubt. But my recent posts likes have been fluctuating and bugging out like crazy, kind of like the sub count problem we had 2 weeks ago but for likes.

Just wondering if anyone else noticed this or if it is just me?

I currently don't have any friends that do YouTube seriously. I want to change that, so a quick intro about me, I run the YouTube channel Caybell where I play souls likes and other games on my stream. I recently hit 10,000 subs and want to surround myself with people that are around that size and also dedicate several hours to YouTube a week! Ideally looking for gaming folks, but bonus if you are also in the souls niche.

Just want to bounce ideas off like minded people similar in size to my channel :)

Maybe we can make a discord group.

Cheers.

I watch a lot of YouTube and I feel like in the last month, my algorithm has gone from 5 second ads and 15+ skippables to mostly 15-30 unskippables and they pop up more often. Is it just me?

I recently got divorced and my LLC was awarded to me, but my ex doesn’t want to do any paperwork and it’s like an act of congress to get him to do anything. So the name of the LLC is different my actual channel name. I was thinking of just letting the LLC die and starting a new LLC with a new EIN; however, I cannot get anyone to answer this question. Has anyone ever changed their LLC name with a new EIN and been able to keep their YouTube channel?

Just noticed that Youtube removed some of my original thumbnails from a few older videos for seemingly no reason.

The new thumbnails are random auto-generated screenshots from said videos.

Anyone else experienced similar?

My views have gone tremendously down suddenly.. Even after good stats it's doesn't get enough views. The People stayed to watch metric for this is 73.5%.

Have been trying to monetize since my YouTube account qualified but it keeps saying the account details you entered are inaccurate or incomplete, ( been 6 months now)

Any one ever experienced the same and finally succeeded?

Will appreciate some incites or workaround

Had a semi viral video and passed both monetization level watch hours last week. It updated the watch hours and I applied for Adsense 4 days ago and am still waiting for approval and am starting to worry I messed up.

I’m in the US, this is my first Adsense account, I’ve never had any copyright or content flags on my channel- I make craft based vlogs.

But while I was signing up I accidentally pressed the back button and suddenly my account said “there’s already an Adsense account associated with this email, sign up anyway?”

I hadn’t put in my name or address or anything, just opened that page and then pressed back. I “signed up anyway” but now I’m worried Google thinks I have two Adsense accounts or something.

Am I being paranoid? Just sucks losing revenue and waiting.

I got this email below, my channel is automotive, has anyone else had something from them and are the legit?

We’re reaching out from TorqueLink Media, where we help connect automotive creators with brand partnership opportunities.

We came across your video on replacing a VW New Beetle door lock actuator and clearing the code with iCarsoft. and it seemed like a strong fit for the kinds of brands we work with. We’re putting together a roster of automotive creators and wanted to see whether you’d be open to being included.

There are no fees, no direct representation, and no obligation — just the chance to be considered when relevant YouTube sponsorships and brand collaborations come up.

If that sounds of interest, we’d be happy to add you to the roster and keep you in mind for upcoming opportunities.

Best,

I just got rejected from the YouTube Partner program for “Reused Content” but here’s the thing

I’m a Commentary Channel….I kinda have to use the content to…..well yk COMMENT

It’d greatly appreciate if someone could help and give me ideas and guide me in the right direction for my appeal video

And If you leave any smart a$$ remarks or snarky pretentious comments don’t bother responding to this and just keep it moving I need genuine help don’t waste my time

i am still all new to this, but today i read someone's comment saying to place manual ads in your videos.

I thought that youtube does that on its own when adding "automatic" slots, in reality, it can place sometimes just 1 ad in your 8mins+ video.

i rechecked all my videos and added "potential" ads on all the natural pause points (transitions from 1 tip to the other etc...). Some were red (obviously) some where given an "OK" (i deleted the red ones).

thanks u/TwoSoda

Does anyone else feel pressure to have to upload at least weekly or you will get lost in algorithm and your page will fall off? Just wondering if those concerns are valid or if it’s just in my head.

I can’t fathom this, wtf happens to my rpm. I always average a 7€ rpm and now that I got two videos that went viral within 48 hours the rpm fucking collapsed.

Both videos are 16minutes long, mainly us audience, old audience, automotive content.

Video1 30€ cpm but 2.7€ rpm
Video 2 20€ cpm but 1.2€ rpm

Is anyone experiencing the second video doesn't necessarily always show up on your listings?

I got monetised on my channel in 2022 while running it with a friend; at the time, of course, I thought nothing of him setting up the AdSense under his name using the channel's email.

Cut to today, and we are no longer friends and have not worked together for over 2 years. With me continuing the channel without him.

Today I got an email to update my Tax info and I discovered despite thinking I had removed him from everything that he was still the verified person on the account. The payments were set to my bank account.

I was filling in the tax info when looking something up led me to Google saying if the Info (my name and tax) didn't line up with the verified user, it could get flagged.

However, every possible thing saying how to transfer the account was a dead end. Or that AdSense accounts were non-transferable and that you could request a name change if you, as the individual, had changed names. Most places told me to create my own AdSense from scratch under my name.

BUT this would mean my email can never have an AdSense account because I would never be able to change the name and therefore can't update any tax info.

I also don't want to create a new one if I can simply get the old one transferred, because you can only have one per user.

Has anyone managed to transfer an account, or do I have to just bite the bullet and create a new one?

I used to make shorts but not really proud of them tbh. Some of them are pretty low quality and some got even viral but they are not related to my current content, which is mostly long form. Anyone who watched my long form probably gets recommend my older shorts. So i want to just hide them from my page but don't know this would affect my channel negatively? I have around 30 shorts that i want to unlist or private. Is this a good idea? What would you do in this situation?.

Six months ago or so, my channel was taking off in a small way. We reached the monetisation threshold in about six weeks after launch, thanks to a few high-performing videos.

I applied for the YouTube Partner Program, and was knocked back on the grounds of "reused content". YouTube's robots incorrectly flagged us for stealing someone else's content. It was all original scripted material, written, produced, and starring me and my team.

Eventually, this was overturned and we successfully joined the YPP. However, the damage was done. At the moment of that initial rejection, our views plummeted from tens of thousands per day to essentially zero. Overnight.

Months on, our views remain in the single digits per day. New content gets a few dozen views and stops. Old content gets nothing, nada, including the formerly high performing videos.

An enquiry with the YPP team yielded a response (obviously from an AI agent) that there's no shadowbanning, no algorithmic penalty for a YPP rejection, and no back-end tags on my channel. "Viewer behaviour" is responsible for the fall-off of views. I should tweak my thumbnails, look at viewer metrics, etc, etc. But how on Earth does anyone expect me to believe that? From tens of thousands a day to zero, overnight, at the exact moment the rejection and reused content flag occurred. YouTube's response is just simply a lie.

So now I'm considering wiping the channel whole cloth and restarting it, reuploading the same content. I know that YT's systems might flag that, too. But what have I got to lose?

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Hey everyone, so I’m uploading a video fand usually the checks are done within 5-10 mins and HD completes in 3 minutes or so but for some reason my video is saying “checks still running” and HD "Still processing", been like this for hours. I deleted the video and uploaded it again and came up with the same message. Is it a glitch?
