Then all of a sudden, you've lost a huge amount of those Watch Time hours. What on Earth just happened? Now if you have been a regular visitor to vidIQ, you will know that I love to keep you up to date with all things monetization on YouTube.
But this little news story came out of nowhere, and caught me completely by surprise. If you are a video creator working towards 1, subscribers and 4, hours of Watch Time, you'll be very familiar with the monetization eligibility screen which tells you exactly how close you are to meeting those requirements. That screen is very much part of the classic YouTube Creator Studio, and if you are a video creator, you should know by now that there is a new Creator Studio with lots of new analytics and features.
For more information about that, check out this post. But this screen is old and it needs updating, and YouTube has done just that. Creators working towards their monetization goal have a new much cleaner and simpler screen to reference. But what they also seem to have is new and much-reduced Watch Time hours than they saw before. I'm sorry if this has raised any alarm bells for you, but you might want to go check your monetization page right now. The problem is unless you have a real eagle eye and have been checking these statistics every single day, you might now be sure whether or not your numbers have changed.
As of yet, the company has not decided the actual cost for the pilot feature and are still in the process of tallying how many creators would actually be up for paying. YouTube claims that they are planning to broaden the system in the future. And possibly make it available for all creators. But initially, they will keep it limited to selected creators. The YouTube representative further explained that human review takes a lot of time.
And they get around hours of videos per minute. This is primarily the reason for keeping the process monetary and open to limited video creators. Can I monetize private or unlisted videos?
