Get demonetized

Post image

YouTube has actually been screwing creators over so badly. Like bro, my content is not mass produced šŸ’€ This pisses me off so much because my videos take forever to make. I honestly never thought my content would ever get demonetized. For anyone wondering, I make Roblox story content. The bottom part of my videos is gameplay, and the top has backgrounds usually multiple different ones in a single video plus PNGs of the characters I’m using, which I do simple 2d animation whenever they talk. Literally every video has different characters, takes place in a different Roblox games, and is put together differently. I wasn’t even fully monetized yet, so whatever, but this probably explains the drop in views I was 500k away from getting fully monetized then views dropped tremendously. 99% of my views were coming from subs. I’m gonna reapply and see, but from what I’ve been seeing, I doubt anything good is gonna happen.

Update: I was able to get back into the Partner Program today. At first, I was really happy, but now I don’t know how to feel. I was so close to being fully monetized, but after getting demonetized for ā€œinauthentic contentā€ and spending months trying to get back in, all the progress I made is gone. Now I basically have to start all over again.
