YouTube will run ads on some creator videos, but it won’t give them any of the revenue

 

YouTube has made major changes to its advertising policy. According to the changed rules, Google will now show ads in the videos of those whose channels have not been monetized. But the relevant video makers will not get any money. Although the rule was introduced in the United States, it will apply to all countries by 2021.

According to Forbes, users in the United States are already seeing a section called 'Right to Monetize' on YouTube's Terms of Service. "Some of the videos that are not on YouTube's Partner Program (YPP) will have ads added to their videos from today," it said. This means you can get ads on your videos even if they are not monetized. Since you are not on YPP, you will not get any money from the advertisement. '

With more than a thousand followers and 4,000 hours of views in the last 12 months, many are unhappy with YouTube's new policy of not being able to become a YPP member. They'll make money from less followers and view channels, but they won't pay the producers anything - that's something technicians can't believe.
