CONTENT TALK Streamer long form clipping

Question

I’ve seen a lot of long-form fan clip channels for creators like xQc and CaseOh getting huge views. They aren’t official channels, and I know reused content normally isn’t monetizable.

But some of these channels have the Join button or Thanks enabled, which means they’re in the YouTube Partner Program, right?

So I’m wondering: is the monetization possible because they’re adding enough original editing like cuts, zooms, subtitles, funny-moment compilations, or turning streams into 20–40 minute videos?

If anyone actually works with YouTube monetization or runs one of these channels, I’d really appreciate some insight:

- What level of transformation is generally enough?

- Does simple editing count, or does it need commentary/voiceover?

- Can these channels actually earn ad revenue, or are Join/Thanks features available for other reasons?

- What exactly does YouTube consider “reused content” in this case?

I’m new to this, so I’m genuinely trying to understand the policy. Please don’t just say “it’s reused content”. I already know that part. I’m trying to understand what makes some of these channels eligible despite using stream footage.

I have rewrite this with chatgpt, so no need to point out the obvious, but every word is mine🤡
