This week I ordered a Titan Security Key for my Google account.

The purchase wasn't driven by fear. It was driven by a simple realization:

Over the years, I've accumulated a significant amount of digital assets tied to a single account, including email, cloud storage, business records, websites, social media accounts, and 4 YouTube channels containing thousands of hours of original content.

Many of us spend years building professional networks, creating content, managing businesses, and storing important information online. Yet relatively few people take the time to consider how vulnerable those accounts might be if a password were compromised.

A hardware security key adds an additional layer of protection that cannot be easily duplicated through phishing emails, stolen passwords, or other common account takeover methods.

This isn't an endorsement of any particular product, nor am I suggesting that everyone needs the same security setup.

I'm simply sharing this as a reminder:

Sometimes the most important investments aren't the ones that help us build something new.

They're the ones that help protect what we've already built.

If your email account serves as the gateway to your business, finances, content, or professional identity, it may be worth taking a few minutes to review your security settings and authentication options.

A little prevention today can save a great deal of unexpected grief tomorrow.

I'm validating a tool that uses AI to automatically filter out spam/"first!" comments and groups the remaining comments into actual categories: video ideas, technical questions, and constructive criticism.

I know there are already a few established tools out there that touch on this, but from my experience, they often lack certain features, or are too complex or expensive.

For those of you dealing with a high volume of comments: what are the current tools missing? Are there specific daily headaches you have with audience feedback that you would happily pay to make disappear?

I’d appreciate any feedback on whether you'd use a tool like this, and what you'd consider a fair price for it. Thanks!

I've seen some post saying that accounts that has an ongoing strikes, experience a shadow ban (which I believe the penalty youtube does). I was wondering if it's true, how long do they wait to finally recover from their penalties?

Does the algorithm go back after the 90 days period, or do some users recover their algorithm during the 90 days period?

I've seen some posts about their reach/views going down from 40k to 5k and the revenue went from $20 a day to $2.5 a day. Is it true?

Edit: Also another question, do youtube re-evaluate the channel after the strike is lifted up to check if your channel is still eligible for monetization?

pretty much the title, just got enough watch hours to apply for monetization and applied for ad-sense, now just wondering how long it usually takes for step 3, get reviewed take. ty!

Our channel has been going for just under a year with a video roughly once every four weeks. The videos are very high production value and take a long time to make so this is pretty much the most regular we can feasibly make them. They're presenter-led documentaries and how-tos in the area of history and heritage.

We got to around 16k subscribers fairly quickly with three videos being over 100k views and most others being between 5k and 40k. However, for the past few videos our channel has been a complete write-off. We've struggled to get any videos over 1k viewers and I'm becoming increasingly exasperated wondering why.

For our more recent videos:

- The quality is consistently improving

- The CTR is good, around 6% (Studio is telling us "People on YouTube are choosing to watch this video more often than usual")

- View duration is above average for our channel, our latest one is literally more than double

- We're promoting them on other social channels as well as via shorts and community posts

- And they are all very relevant to our core viewer base

And yet our impressions are rock-bottom, our videos aren’t being put in front of anyone (even our own subscribers) and I really just can’t work out why.

I understand that not every video will be a viral hit. But for a channel with 16k subscribers and 700k views, not being able to have a video get more than 1k views is absolutely appalling. Does anyone know if there's anything we can do to improve things? Happy to send the channel in a DM if anyone feels like helping.

My content has not changed. Still uploading as per my usual schedule.
Hell of a drop off that I cannot explain.
I still enjoy creating which has always been my main aim.

I have a gaming channel around 15k subs and average 75-100k views a month with purely longform content. I'm thinking about reaching out to companies for ad partnerships and was curious about the rates similar-sized channels get.

For context on my content - I do challenge runs for the types of games I play. The videos plateau anywhere from 5-20k views on average. I see a lot of similar channels throw in ads 20-30 seconds into the video so they seem easy enough to work in.

Not super interested in deals purely based on affiliate links, so if it seems like that's all that would be available for a channel my size I'll hold off for the foreseeable future.

I go to the video on Channel Content. It has been set to private. I click on the down arrow & get the window showing it's marked private & click on edit. I enter my gmail address, then click on send email. Click DONE. Click Save.

I get an email that says I've shared a private video, & I click on the link. I very briefly get a window on YouTube that shows the video preparing to play, then the window switches to 'Video Unavailable. This video is private.'

What am I doing wrong, please?

Hi guys, I'm new to all this. I have two YouTube channels, and I know I can link the same AdSense account to both. However, I don't want to do that. I want to link a separate AdSense account to each channel using different IDs and different bank accounts belonging to my family members. Is this possible? Any help would be appreciated.

If you Divide your earnings for the past month by how many hours you think you have spent on making videos.

Does anyone have a specific process they found works quite well for finding video ideas that will be hits with their target audience based on what other videos have already been popular on Youtube for other similar channels?

I know one option is using the outlier tool on vidIQ, but I don't find it to be the most helpful. Does anyone have a different process?
