So, I have arounf 2k subs and I own a gacha gaming info channel. i use to get around 4-5k views per video but since the may started I got hit by something very unusual. I had no strike, no warning and no other issues. My reach suddenly went away over-night. I did nothing out of place just normally posting my videos.
Please give me advice how to fix this? Any way I can fix this?
I've heard that once a channel is monetized youtube stop suggesting the content, I monetized a channel last year and same thing happened but I didn't made the relation with monetization but this is my second channel and the same thing is happening, any suggestions ?
I’m currently promoting my indie mobile game on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Facebook Reels.
The thing is: I’m posting the same video in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Italian), because I want to reach different audiences around the world.
The visual part of the video is the same, but:
- the voiceover changes,
- the subtitles/text change,
- the hashtags and captions change too.
Recently TikTok hit two of my spanish videos with what they call “duplicate content / unoriginal content” and having it blocked from the for you page.
I tried appealing it but it didn’t work.
I’ve also noticed similar problems on Youtube and Facebook by having some short videos having 0 views
I just want to show the same game to different language audiences.
So I wanted to ask if there is a known workaround for this?
Would really appreciate advice from people who’ve dealt with this before.
Should I upload another video or two before applying? I just don't want any issues with the application process. I'm making the same type of content I do on my main channel but in a different niche, so there shouldn't be an issue with the content itself.
I just don't know if they want me to have more than one video uploaded. Last year when I applied for monetization I had 3 videos live, so I'm unsure if 1 video will suffice.
Yo if i got rejected from monetization for reused content and it's been a month and im reapplying should i delete all my past shorts or can i just make them unlisted / private? Because i really dont want to delete my viral videos with 10mil+ views
Hey, im running channel about programming stuff, my latest video did this numbers:
11 min video, 1 mid roll
Countries:
This is new channel, first video uploaded 5 weeks ago and I get monetization 2 weeks ago
For this video CPM is 9$ but rpm is 1.5$ - Why? What can I do?
its not a lot but im still proud
Hey everyone,
I'm a small creator and I'm feeling a bit anxious about a situation that just happened. I want to make sure I'm 100% in the clear.
A couple of days ago, I made a YouTube Short using the official, built-in Remix button on a larger creator's video (they had the feature enabled on their upload). I did a split-screen edit, putting some Minecraft parkour gameplay on the right side. The Short automatically links back to their original video as it’s supposed to.
Today, I got a comment from someone claiming to be on that creator's moderation team saying:
"Ey you, why are you stealing [Creator Name] content, cause i'm part of his moderation team and this is not a real collab with [Creator Name]'s consent, so you either delete this video or we will take legal actiosn against you."
I know I used a native platform feature exactly how it was designed, but seeing the words "legal action" has me a bit stressed out.
If a creator leaves their Remix button enabled, isn't that automated consent through YouTube's Terms of Service? Can their team actually give me a copyright strike or do anything to my channel for using a built-in button?
I already hid the user from my channel, but I just want some peace of mind from fellow creators. Thanks in advance!

Not just the editor or your team. The whole thing. Subscriptions, plugins, stock footage, thumbnail tools, music licensing, etc.
I added mine up recently and it was way more than I expected for a channel that isn't making that much yet. Curious if others have done the same math.
I understand this might be a bit of a sensible topic, so any answer (even without details) is much appreciated!
Hey there everybody! So this is the first successful video that I have had, All my other videos were around 500-1200 views, this one obviously broke 50,000 which I am very excited about! The question I have is with this video, YouTube automatically put in 50 add placements, Now the video is two hours 45 minutes long just for context and the ads are anywhere between 3 to eight minutes apart. My average view duration of all these views is 36 minutes. I didn't know where to edit the ad placements until today, when I uploaded my next video which is two hours long, I do Minecraft 100 days content by the way.
I personally feel like the ad placements worked, because my AVD, views, and watch time reflect something very positive, But I wanted to hear from some other people that may have more experience than what I do. Thanks a lot!
EDIT: I want to be clear, my RPM is floating around $13, so I am VERY happy with that! I am NOT looking to increase that by plowing more ads into the video, I was thinking maybe there are too many ads? I just got monetized April 27, and this was the first video uploaded and monetized AND my first semi 'viral' video 😄
EDIT 2: People seem to be asking about the ages of my viewers, here is the break down straight from my analytics:
13–17 years 19.2%
18–24 years 26.5%
25–34 years 39.2%
35–44 years 11.9%
45–54 years 2.8%
Hey, I’m around 4 months into this channel. I am at ~30k subscribers and last week I finished it with 19.5M views but the engagement views were way less. I have been posting every day for the past 4 months and haven’t been monetized yet.
Any advice helps thanks
ey guys, so recently I got accepted into the YouTube Partner Program, but only the first level that unlocks features like Supers and Shopping. The problem is, surprisingly, after I got accepted, my YouTube Shorts views dropped from 30K–3M views to not even passing 100 views after 2 days of posting.
First, I will share the email here because this format is not out in the public domain yet. This is surely not their usual tactic.
A small note about music attribution

Hello,
I wanted to contact you as the owner of a track that seems to appear in one of your uploads.
I realize music can sometimes be added through an editor, a music library, or a third-party source, so I wanted to ask before drawing any conclusions. I just couldn't find a clear mention of the source or license related to the music.
Could you let me know how the music came to be used in the video?
I'd like to understand the situation and hopefully handle it calmly and respectfully.
Best,
Sophia Bennett
After receiving this email, I replied, and asked her to share video details. Then comes the most interesting part. She shared a link, and suspecting a scam, I opened it using Brave browser.
Here's the email text:
Hi,
Apologies for getting back to you late - I've been pretty unwell over
the last few days and missed your message earlier.
To keep the details clear, I created a short page with the relevant
details with the relevant timestamps and video details. You can find the
details here:

Report ID: ANT-2026-90234718
I'm sharing this so everything is clear and help us stay on the same
page.
If possible, could you review it before the weekend? I may be harder to
reach then, as I'll be at the hospital.
Thanks again
My Brave browser does not have any logins. It took me to a nice interface (created with Google forms) claiming to be ANTHEM ENTERTAINMENT's Copyright Appeal Portal. It asks for channel URL and case number. Now, our character Sophia did provide a case number in the email, but she did not share any channel URL despite specifically asking for the same. Again, I emailed her for the channel link as I manage many of them. But she did not revert.
What's the catch? Scammers have changed their email format. They don't use those common tactics anymore. The subject deserves a special mention. Now they don't use copyright claim as subject line because people are already aware about scams. Thus, they shifted to "A small note about music attribution," so that the email won't be marked as spam, and you would at least open it. And once you reply, they shift the goal from a mere attribution to a copyright appeal. She has not reverted yet, but I am sure she will. She may even ask for a quick settlement as she requires this money for her hospital bill or something.
Hi everyone,
Quick note: English is not my native language, so I used an AI assistant to help me draft this post to make sure my ideas are clear. Apologies if any phrasing sounds a bit robotic!
I'm reaching out because I'm stuck in a productivity and learning dilemma. I'm feeling a bit frustrated about where to direct my efforts since my free time is currently very limited, I'm a bit old to start at 43, but it is what it is.
My current workflow: I run a personal brand where I got used to CapCut's speed. I usually shoot on an iPhone 16 pro or an Osmo Action 6 (in D-Log), drop it onto my laptop, and have a video edited and published in 10 minutes. I'm doing well with scriptwriting and audio (I use Rode Wireless Pro mics), but CapCut is heavily limiting me now when it comes to advanced color grading and complex local effects, or integrating with ai generated b-rolls. I am a lawyer and mechanical engineer, on top of that, the overwhelming part is: I recently started film school online, so I absolutely need to make the jump to an industry-standard software. I'm also planning to add a DJI Mini drone soon to incorporate more D-Log footage.
The real bottleneck: My main constraint is TIME and the learning curve. I can't afford to learn three different programs at once. Budgeting for software licenses is fortunately not an issue right now, but my study hours are very limited, and I want to pick just one ecosystem to master 100%.
Available Hardware (For workflow viability context): Because of gaming and because I run local AI inference tools to automate tasks for my day job, I have a powerful hardware setup that I'd love to fully utilize, both at my desk and on the go:
I know that performance-wise no software will lag on these specs, but my question is more about day-to-day workflow efficiency versus the technical depth required for film school. My options are:
Looking for a realistic balance between the speed required for social media and the professional depth I need for film school: Which of these three would you recommend I invest my time in, and why? I truly appreciate your experience and advice so I don't waste my few available hours. Thanks a lot!
I make "greenscreen meme" videos where I cut a person out of a TV show and put them in a different show/game/etc. You might have seen ones from other channels like "Sopranos in Skyrim" or "Gordon Ramsay in Minecraft".
How do I let my audience know that I made my video "by hand" and it's not just pieced together from AI-generated videos? I spent over 100 painstaking hours manually creating my most recent video and I keep getting comments accusing me of using AI and how terrible it is.
I totally understand why people are wary of this but it's clearly not AI and it's just frustrating to keep hearing. Do you do anything to try and remedy this? I've put in the description what TV shows I used footage from and that I made it with After Effects etc., and I've also put a pinned comment to say the "Altered or synthetic content" label YouTube makes you put on videos like this doesn't actually mean it's AI generated.
I feel like putting a big red "[No AI]" stamp on the thumbnail but I think that would make it more cluttered. The title is also long enough as it is so maybe adding a label/disclaimer to it would be too much.
I bet the easiest and best solution to this problem is probably "Just ignore it" but it's hard. I don't want to end up losing lots of views because people assume AI before watching.
Last time I posted a similar video in 2025, I didn't really get any of these comments, have things changed a lot recently?
Hey everyone,
I’m posting here because I honestly feel lost right now and could really use advice from people who understand YouTube better than me.
I’ve been editing videos for years and YouTube/content creation has basically become my whole career. I worked with creators, edited shorts/long-form content, and built everything around this space. Recently, my own channel got hit with monetization/suspension issues and ever since then everything has been falling apart financially.
The worst part is that this happened at the exact time when I was already struggling with money. Most of my income depended on YouTube/content work, and now I’m stuck in this situation where:
I already submitted appeals and contacted support, but the waiting + uncertainty is killing me mentally. Some emails sounded hopeful, some confusing, and I can’t even tell whether I still have a real chance or if I should start preparing for something completely different.
I’m trying not to give up because content creation is literally the only thing I’m deeply skilled at, but right now I feel stuck between:
If anyone here has:
I’d seriously appreciate it.
Is the amount listed under “your payment has been sent” after text, or before?
it shows me the amount of there were no taxes, which i should be gettin, as my tax info is under the treaty.
just curious is the amount listed in the earn is after taxes
Has anyone here ever run a raffle/giveaway through their social channels?
I’ve been thinking about doing one for a while because brand deals are getting more inconsistent.
I’ve got a decent audience on Instagram + YouTube and feel like it could be an interesting way to monetise.
Curious if anyone here has actually done one themselves and whether it was worth it.
