Newfoundfreedom Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi all. I've been posting a few videos from rehearsals on our band's fairly recently created YouTube channel. We don't have many subscribers at this point, and obviously we're a million miles away from hitting the kind of targets we'd need for monetisation. But I've noticed, when I go to one of our videos on my phone, I sometimes get ads playing before the video starts. Are they allowed to do that? Obviously I'm not receiving any proceeds from advertising. I always thought they only put ads on the monetised channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 No, I thought they just don't pay you until you get enough followers to monetise the channel. You need 1000 followers, something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need 1000 followers, something like that? Yeah you also need something like 4000 hours watch time over a 12 month period. I don't think I'm ever in any danger of hitting that 😅 I just assumed that they wouldn't be putting ads on until / unless you were monetised first.

nilebodgers Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 They changed the terms of service a while back to allow them to insert ads anywhere, you have no choice in the matter. You don’t make anything yourself until you can monetise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
