#YouTube monetisation

[adventures-in-a-world-of-fiction]

My suspicion that I will never make enough on YouTube to cross the withdrawal threshold grows.

I passed the watch time threshold to apply for monetisation and, as I expected, almost every video I'd ever uploaded got instantly flagged as unmonetisable because of containing copyright material. Which, given that they're fanvids and made pretty much entirely of copyright material, is fair enough. The ones that haven't been instantly flagged are mostly shorter ones for more obscure shows (although, weirdly, one MCU vid has so far slipped through the cracks) that don't get many views.

So I figured I would record a video which they would definitely let me monetise because it would be my own stuff, and recorded the audio of me reading the first few pages of one of my books. Two birds and all that, because I could promote my book with links of where to buy it, as well as having a video that wouldn't get demonetised.

So I uploaded First Few Pages - Wolf Unleashed and it instantly got flagged as "limited monetisation" due to containing non advertiser friendly content. Presumably because the word "rape" appears in the first chapter of the book. I'm not going to censor the words in my own book for the sake of keeping YouTube happy, so I guess it'll be unmonetised.

At this point, I'm just curious to see if I can make a single penny.

How do you feel about the increase in really weird NSFW ads on here (advertising panels that look like sexual encounters, and AI art apps that pride themselves on porn) but will take down NSFW posts from their users, even if it isn't technically sexual.

i hate all social media and it's consistent prioritising the advertisers over the users and the internet simply was a better place before capitalism sunk its hooks into it

maybe this is just me being a skeptic but i really hate how social media-oriented yagp has been getting in recent years. it's my fault for always clicking on their story but damn

i’m so sorry for the constant posting but i still need financial aid!

for those who don’t know me, i’m jess and i’m disabled. i’m currently not getting any aid from my government but i am in the process of applying to it.

i need financial help so that i can afford helpful treatments like the chiropractor and my massage therapist. these two help lessen my pain a considerable amount and make my day to day life bearable.

i’m at £25/£100 of my goal!

if you can donate, i’m more than happy to make you sims, builds or pets. if you can’t donate, please signal boost to get this to people who might be able to! i love you so much

✨ donate here ✨

I just watched for the second time Super eyepatchwolf's video on influencers courses to became YouTube famous.

This time I decided to read the comments. I came across a comment quoting SEW with statement going something like that ""There is nothing wrong with you if other people don't pay attention to your art. That art is for you That is enough. I promise." -Super Eyepatch Wolf".

This simple comment sparked huge discussion in replies. While some agreed with the sentiment others went on a bittersweet tirade that all that publishing their videos for themselves did is made them nervous. What really made them happy was comments and engagement from watchers. That saying that you only need to make art for yourself is a privileged position from those who made it.

It's hard not to empathize with this sentiment.

Especially as someone who has been publishing stuff on the internet for around 9 years now with little to no success. My most successful venture was a webcomic that gathered 2k followers.

Yet, with all that said, with all that empathy, I think that those people are missing the point. What this comment was trying to say is that if you need validation to make your art then there is very little chance of you not burning out and in the end succiding.

After nine years I still feel disappointment if I didn't gather any attention with my artistic ventures, it won't stop me tho, and I really hope it won't stop you.

jesus fucking christ i am so tired of how every thing has to be censored online now?? i hate hearing grown ass adults say "unalive" and "grape". to me it feels like the intensity of those subjects are being watered down and im so goddamn sick of it

Webtoon is having the same destiny of Wattpad, from being a place where people can write and show their stories (Im not talking about the "quality" of said works) with the possibility of even being published and/or getting other medias involved (that's more of recent years but whatever books where getting published when I was still reading Wattpad), to having the worst fucking time as a reader. The orange one with all the ads applied and idk what the fuck they're doing at this moment, probably worse, the green one with raising coins per episode, needing daily passes even for old comics and shit.

im a youtube partner dan and phil im coming for you

was not 100% surprised with the watcher announcement but the people in the yb comments r going craaaazy. obviously splitting content across multiple streaming sites sucks overall and not everyone can afford the monthly price, but as a dropout subscriber im kind of like.....why are you guys acting like this is the first time this has ever happened on the internet....?
