| Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 4/20/12 4:16 AM | Hello, Youtube has been recently disabling monetization on multiple videos I uploaded for no reason that I can find. All of these videos contain gameplay of Minecraft which allows monetization according to their terms here: http://www.minecraft.net/t |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | NunoTmp | 4/20/12 7:16 AM | Same is happening to me. I upload shooter games and I was getting all my video's monetized. But since yesterday I have had 3 rejected. Not sure why because they have commentary but youtube will not monetize them. |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | PeggyK | 4/20/12 11:08 AM | Did you provide documentation that you had rights to use the music - just linking to the creative commons license would not be sufficient. You would need to provide a link to the information about the specific song(s) you used. Read this: support.goo |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 4/20/12 11:56 AM | Here are word-per-word (no letter-per-letter) copy of what I submitted as documentation EVERY time, during the initial upload of the video & in the link Youtube sent in their emails. --------------------------------------------------------------- You |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | PeggyK | 4/20/12 4:35 PM | The one thing I notice is that you are linking directly to the MP3 file for the songs, rather than the page on the music site that indicates which license terms apply to the song. The license information you link to is not associated with either web |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 4/20/12 7:43 PM | I only started linking to the download link after Youtube started disabling monetization, as per Kevin Macleod's instructions here: http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/youtubeFAQ.html But you have a point. I did consider the fact that CC itself h |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | PeggyK | 4/21/12 9:34 AM | There should have been a link to provide additional documentation in the email notification your received. |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 4/22/12 2:21 AM | Those are what I meant. I'll resubmit the updated documentation but I'm not very hopeful after an email like that from youtube pulling rank like that :( |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | PeggyK | 4/22/12 9:29 AM | Note that in general videos that are primarily gameplay may not be approved for monetization, even if have the necessary documentation. http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1311196 "Videos simply showing a user playing a vide |

| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | PeggyK | 4/22/12 10:17 AM | Many gaming channels are Partnered through networks like Machinima as you mention.

| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 4/22/12 10:27 AM | An LPer friend of mine became an independent partner in February. Is that considered to be "before there were a million competing channels" ? But you're right, it is up to the discretion of Youtube. Unfortunately for me, I fall on the long end of the |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 4/25/12 8:55 AM | So I have resubmitted the documentation & now waiting for YT's reply. But I very recently discovered while uploading a video that now we don't have to submit any kind of documentation whatsoever while monetizing a video for the first time (neither du |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | PeggyK | 4/25/12 4:42 PM | I agree the system is not ideal when you know documentation will be required. But it is what it is. |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 4/26/12 5:25 AM | & as predicted, here is that video in question, with monetization disabled. Enjoy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYzE78yvu1k |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 5/2/12 11:08 PM | I bet you ANYTHING that monetization on this video WILL be disabled. I BET YOU. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyO9wcSFUF8 |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 5/3/12 2:25 AM | Dear anistuffs, Thanks for submitting your videos for monetization. We have disabled monetization on the following videos because we were not able to verify that you have the appropriate commercial use rights for all included content: "Let's Play Lev |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | PeggyK | 5/3/12 12:03 PM | If you don't want to go through the hassle, consider applying to join a network like Machinima. |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 5/3/12 12:14 PM | I would but my channel is WAYYY too small to even be considered :( The same reason I can't apply for direct YT partnership :( |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | GigMan | 5/3/12 3:26 PM | @PeggyK Here's one for you. Care to explain why these videos were disabled for monetization when like 2 dozen others just like it were approved? I'd really like to know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHGoniRnXaM and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | PeggyK | 5/3/12 4:04 PM | Mike1800: no idea - audio in the background maybe? All you can do is submit the additional documentation form explaining the source of all the content in your videos |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | GigMan | 5/3/12 9:43 PM | The only 'audio in the background' is just the wind and the sound of the engine in both videos. I submitted the forms as best I could using the recommended 'I created this video and own all rights to all content in video' and will see what happens. S |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 5/4/12 4:32 AM | The best part is, Youtube will likely NEVER respond like they haven't to most on mine. & sometimes, they do respond saying (copy-pasted from the mail) "Hi there, Your documentation does not appear to give sufficient COMMERCIAL rights for your video t |
| Re: Youtube is disabling Monetization on videos for no reason | Anistuffs | 5/8/12 8:25 PM | Little Update on what's going on. I've stopped monetizing any future videos I upload because Youtube WILL disable them so why bother. I just got these 3 mails from Youtube: 1. Regarding this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5CTiGOu8UQ "Hi, Thank |
