Not necessarily true. YouTube definitely runs ads on demonetized videos and channels.
- throwaway290 3y agoThere's complete demonetization where videos have no ads altogether (e.g., videos from BBC if you're in UK). There's partial stuff like Content ID matches. If you post my song, YT still shows ads, but you get no money. I now get your ad money (and YT its cut). Not sure what they meant in case of Russell Brand, but I bet they will show ads for advertisers who don't opt out and pocket the profit.
- pests 3y agoRight. YT also won't show ads on graphic content like police shootouts or other violent things.
- wrsh07 3y agoI suspect this is a brand safety issue so complete demonetization Why? Their advertisers might complain about being featured on his content
- throwaway290 3y agoI have noticed quite edgy videos that were ad-free before now heavily feature ads, so not sure about that. Many advertisers are not even based in the US, UK or any western country. Not showing ads is the same as just burning money for Google.
- btown 3y agoI would not be surprised if there is some P(controversy | viewing user, time elapsed since original flagging) metric, and when it goes below a threshold, certain non-prestige or international ads can be shown - ads not likely to cause any problems. Because someone, at some point, got an email that looked something like https://www.justice.gov/d9/2023-09/416421.pdf https://www.justice.gov/d9/2023-09/416421.pdf (via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37572692 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37572692 ) - and one does not simply see an email like that and not implement this kind of thing.
- jxramos 3y agoThat’s what I heard claimed somewhere. Has anyone demonstrated with a screen recording and a video with an upload date after the demonetization event?
- rg111 3y agoI can confirm that Youtube runs ads on demonetized videos. This includes- videos where the creator didn't monetize it, videos that were monetized at first, but got monetization removed after review of reports, and videos where the creator don't yet qualify for monetization.
- robertwt7 3y agoThis is true, I have a youtube channel. When it wasn't monetised yet back then, my friends and family saw the ads at the beginning and the end of my videos. Thinking that I already made money from the first couple of videos that I made
- DoctorOW 3y agoNot monetized != Demonetized. Not being in the monetization program doesn't inherently disqualify your videos from ad placement anymore.
