The Types of Rejected YouTube Videos

Many people really hope to be able to monetize their videos

but some channels may not be eligible according to YouTube

I will discuss about channels that won't be able to monetized and how to deal with it

Check it out

hello YouTubers!

This is important if you plan to monetize your channel

In November 2018, YouTube announces the channel that was rejected

is no longer in terms of "duplication", but "reused content"

this is the main reason YouTube rejected your partner program

or even demonetize your channel

well, channel that was rejected mostly because of number 1,

reused content

what is reused content?

if large portions of your channel either completely match other content, or are noticeably similar

even if only 1 or 2 videos, can be rejected

what are the things that considered reused content?

try to look at your channel, are there any of the following

number 1, you use public domain footage

These are the clips that don't have copyright

You can check on the internet, there are a lot of footage in the public domain,

you can see the example

number 2, you use royalty free music

copyright free music

weird? free royalty, why can it be rejected?

it turns out this is from Law of the United States, even it's free to use,

but when dealing with monetize, where you will get money from there, it's not allowed

number 3, video from others

this is re-upload, it will be rejected

even with millions of viewers, or only ten viewers, this will be rejected

number 4, compilations, this is the same as re-upload

I will explain this later

watch until the end

number 5, videos with Content ID or copyright

Well, if you use a copyrighted video, YouTube will not reject immediately

it depends

if most of your videos contain copyright, it will definitely be rejected

if it's just one or two, still acceptable

even if you can't monetize a video that has Content ID claim

the revenue goes to the copyright owners

except if you cover songs

it's eligible for revenue sharing

you steal a content from the website and use it in your video,

although this rarely happens, it's not allowed

for example you copy online news and read them for your video

it will be rejected

number 6, this often happens

I got a lot of questions about why their channels were rejected

it turns out their videos contain live concert recordings, from DVD,

TV shows, and other content that has copyright

if the most of the contents are about those, certainly be rejected

YouTube copyright bots is sophisticated

even if we use it for backsound, it can still be detected

I tried once, and I even merge the audio

I merge the original song with the other

number 7, gameplay without editing and narrative

If you want to create a gaming channel, pay attention to this

Videos simply showing a user playing a video game

or the use of software for extended periods of time may not be accepted for monetization

if you make a content about game, make it fun, with narrative, a joke,

with some editing, you can be approved

If you want to create a new channel, pay attention to these things

What can be done if you're rejected because of reused content or duplication?

delete the video

what if all the videos are reupload?

then I don't know what to do

the problem is, if you delete all your videos, your watch time will decrease

and this won't guarantee if your channel will be accepted

because you only have 30 days to reapply

My advice is forget about adsense, use your channel for other things

For selling stuffs, or create a new channel, and promote your new channel from the previous channel

Well, within a month, keep uploading original and good-quality videos

Then you can reapply, who knows YouTube can reconsider once again

now, for compilation videos, this is the most frequently asked

what about Calon Sarjana, YT Crash, and the other channels?

Calon Sarjana channel was created in 2016,

long before the new rules

In February 2018, there is a new requirement of 4000 hours and 1000 subscribers,

Their channel has already passed, won't be reviewed anymore

because they have met the new requirements

So, why are the ads still appear, those are reuploader

they take advantages in fair use systems

the explanation is here, it's still allowed by YouTube

according to that, as long as we can add new values ​​in the reupload videos,

the compilations are still allowed

Adding new value, for instance adding narratives, re-edit, so it's not 100% reupload

so, they have to choose footage which is free from Content ID claim

if it's risky, they will re-edit it

add vignette, put watermark, flipped, etc.

I notice that some videos on their channel that don't show ads

maybe some content is claimed to have the copyright

I have tried once,

I made a video similar to Calon Sarjana's

sea ​​lions

wow, who doesn't like to see their adorable behavior?

you can check the link here

the channel has been monetized and has met the requirement of 4000 hour watch time and 1000 subscribers

no need to be reviewed again

the ads appear on the video

this is proof, the channel that has been monetized

and met the requirements before February 2018, is possible to make compilation videos

lucky for them, Calon Sarjana doesn't need to be reviewed

but, the channel review is conducted periodically

any channel can be demonetized if it violates the rules

there was a channel that cast the voice of Africans using Sundanese

after reaching 100,000 subscribers, they want to apply for silver play button

in the end, it was demonetized

it sucks

it's a big channel though

they have a greater risk of making compilation videos

because it is related to copyright

now the big question

can we monetize our videos if we make channels like Calon Sarjana at this moment?

theoretically yes, because of the fair use system

but it's hard, because the rules regarding the reused content are very tough

see this one

first, third-party videos stitched together with minimal to no changes, it will be rejected

Third-party content compiled without a narrative, it will be rejected

Content uploaded somewhere else first, it will be rejected

Content uploaded many times by multiple users, it will also be rejected

This is from YouTube, so it can be accounted

Is that enough?

there's more

this is the hardest

during review, it was done manually

no matter how good you edit the video, it can avoid the Content ID, but won't pass the human intelligence

YouTube employee

so in my opinion, based on these things, and from the stories of some folks,

if you make a channel similar to Calon Sarjana now, you won't be accepted for monetization

with a heavy heart, I say this without intending to scare you

I just don't want you to waste your time

but, if anyone succeeds in making a channel similar to Calon Sarjana and can be monetized

after the new requirements, please let me know

continue to number 2, the type of channel that will be rejected

impersonation

pretending to be some, for example, like this

I got a report yesterday

discover a channel using the exact name, Den JC

the videos are reuploaded

For now, I will just let it be

I want to know what will happen later

who is this guy?

You'll get into trouble

Your channel can be rejected because it impersonates other channel

same avatar, same channel name, same banner, same thumbnail, same video,

the point is, if your channel is confusing and can be considered another person by the audience,

you will be terminated by YouTube

just be yourself, don't pretend to be someone else

next, fake YouTube views

buy YouTube views, subscribers, sub4sub, pay people to watch your videos, stream your own videos

for example, you play own videos while opening the other tab

while browsing Facebook, or playing a game

this can be considered as view count spamming

fake YouTube viewer and watch time

Let me tell you, don't do those things

YouTube can detect

next, video spamming

this happens if you upload videos with similar content over and over again

learn to count using balls, learn to count using elephants,

using cars, and so on

this may be rejected, especially if the audience can guess the contents of your video

for example, why do they just watch for a while, this can be detected by YouTube as spamming

so please pay attention,

I once suggested trying to make a video based on the video that is popular on your channel

this doesn't mean you make the same video

but about the same topic

which is still related

make it unique, about the title too

you make the same video, just a little bit different, make a unique video

next, the thumbnail is misleading, or clickbait

doesn't related to the video, you lie to viewers

This is prohibited by YouTube

put arrows, circles, but there's nothing there

your channel can get rejected

so, upload thumbnail that is related to the video

pay attention to the text in your thumbnails too, okay?

next, it's because you don't comply to YouTube policies and guidelines

the content is not advertiser-friendly, etc

You can see more in this video

yesterday someone asked why the content was rejected, it discussed about pigeons

possibly because it is considered animal abuse

another is about fishing, I was also confused about that

YouTuber from Bandung, if I'm not mistaken, how is that?

another is bout poetry, whose videos are only images, rejected twice

I suggest him to appear in the videos

I checked, hopefully he will pass the review

if there are other topics that are rejected, please write in the comment below

I hope this is useful
