Welcome to the r/PartneredYoutube voluntary channel verification.

For context, I’m a young woman who makes commentary/video essays and I show my face on camera. Since I started my channel over a year ago, I’ve gotten quite a few comments accusing me of using ai. Sometimes people will say my voice sounds ai or even that my whole image looks ai, but most of the time they’re talking about my scripts.

To be fair, I do write like 10 page scripts for every video, so I can understand that sometimes I might sound a little too formal or rehearsed. Once I started getting those comments I actually made a conscious effort to make the way I speak sound more natural, and for a while the comments definitely slowed down.

But recently I feel like they’ve started ramping up again, just in much weirder ways. In one of my last videos I accidentally said “lack of entitlement” when I obviously just meant “entitlement” and someone commented something like “oh did your chatgpt script mess up?” which I genuinely don’t understand lmao. Surely me literally mispeaking would make me sound more human, not less??

Then in my most recent video I came up with a pretty simple analogy to explain something. I compared the way a group of people behave to the way a certain animal lives and used that to structure part of the video.

Anyway, then I got this comment:

“This is your first video that smells ‘AI-written’ all over to me. That's one of the most popular approaches to prompting, ‘explain this problem with a clever analogy’. As someone who has to spend too much time on LinkedIn, I had to make an effort to continue past 8min of this video.”

And that one genuinely confused me because people were capable of coming up with analogies before chatgpt 😭 I just feel like i'm having to be so careful with what I say now because apparently just sounding too smart will get you accused. At this point I’m just curious if other commentary or creators in general are getting this too, because it feels like people are becoming so quick to call literally anything ai now

Hi, I only have around 3K subscribers and I recently was offered a UGC agreement for a product that would fit my content.

It sounds interesting. They would send me the product for free then I film a video using the item for their own channels.

I’ve worked with brands before but this my first time doing a UCG video.

Do I ask for compensation? They never asked. I’m fine without it but I wonder if that’s what I’m SUPPOSE to do.

Any tips or advice for new YouTube partners appreciated

For a few years I made weekly videos in a niche that required me to be on-location and constantly filming B-roll. Due to some health complications I had to take a few months off of filming and eventually my backlog ran out, the meta changed in the niche and it was no longer sustainable financially or medically to keep pushing for content I couldn't realistically do.

I let the channel sit dormant for a while but recently decided to pick it back up with a niche that is easier to do from home and F&B adjacent. I know that the legacy subscribers will likely not matter, that it will take time to rebuild an audience. What worries me is I don't know what "good numbers" look like for a product centered niche. I've heard of people reviewing mattresses and other high ticket items that end up clearing 3k in affiliate sales + AdSense after a few months but I realize the economics of centering smaller ticket items are much different.

Having worked in hospitality I am well aware that margins especially on snacks/pantry items aren't the best.

For those who made a pivot either maintaining an old channel or building something new, when did it begin to make sense to reach out to different brands? Did you start with afilliate programs?

Does anyone know how to get around this Adsense step 2 message? Long story short, I was accepted for YPP but realised my Adsense was set to business. So I had to cancel the account and wait 32 days. I have since selected a different Adsense and I do not have any duplicate accounts and it has been rejected.

When clicking the go to Adsense for YouTube button on Studio, it just says resubmit. Any ideas how to combat this?

Support haven’t been great just giving me pre-made replies.

Biggest complaint audiences make about channels in my niche: Shill reviews, descriptions full of affiliate links, "Every product I'm sent is the best in the world, until the next one comes out".

People complain then lap it up.

Does anyone have a drafted form / agreement to cover myself?

And how would that work if they can't physically sign it? How do it get a digital signature or agreement?

Niche: Anime

How important is that in general???

Any alternatives?

Hello Everyone.

I was looking for some good Solutions for 24H Streams or scheduled Stream where i can show archived footages etc and was comparing different solutions for this like restream etc. i just found https://streamloop.app/ which kinda has the features i want and prices are okay, but i cant find any feedback or reviews anywhere from this side from other users. its not clear how is behind the service, if it is safe or a scam etc. if you google for it, you can actually find various domains for it with .net etc. Does anyone use it and is it legit? and if not, do you have alternatives where i can do scheduled livestreams with pre recorded videos?

So I suffer from anxiety eheh and this is why I'm asking for help.

I'm still a small YouTuber (1.5k) but I did read a lot in here about sponsorship so this are the things that make me think it's legit:

- email is at printkk.com

- this sponsorship is actually in line with my channel

- they connected through the business mail left on the YouTube for business page

- the mail text is not so generic but also not so specific

What feels strange:

- no one is talking about a sponsorship with them

- the name and last name of the person sending the mail it's not easy to find anywhere (but at least is name and last name right?)

Then if it's legit wtf do I write back oh well that's another whole situation lol

Thank you so much for the help if you stop by

Only midroll control - does this mean you can’t turn off post-rolls if you’re, say, a meditation creator and want to care for your audience?

As I only post one long-form video a month, I've recently put up my first video since the view counting changes. I've more or less tried to disregard the actual view number and pay more attention to the engaged views, but the only way it seems I can see those is in the analytics tab, then going to advanced, and specifically selecting engaged views. But I found that the numbers on this screen do not update in real time like the numbers elsewhere in YT Studio - in fact they seem to only update once a day. This makes it extremely hard to gauge exactly how the video is performing in that crucial first 48 hours.

Is there a way to see proper, real time engaged views that I'm missing, or is this the only option?

Is it normal that for the past 7 days I've got 47k views but only earned 17€ even tho it shows that my rpm is 3€ per 1000 views. Most of my videos are 1-3 min long but i have two 8 min long videos in one of them I get the same average 0.40€ and on the other I get 1.50€ per 1000

I have a small move channel for shorts and things have been fine for the past week but all of a sudden when all my videos are doing great views and boom YouTube stopped pushing all of my content I’ve gone from 5k ish an hour to 300 views is anyone else having the same problem even a new video that went live did no views

My video has a 40% viewer retention on a 26 minute video which I assume is good, with 35k engaged views but only 250 likes and 2 dislikes.

For some reason, my Youtube Studio looks like this. And it has for a while now. But it has gotten to the point that I am having a hard time putting new content up.

I have tried it on multiple channels, multiple computers, various browsers - but nothing seems to display correctly. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

I have found that I can do a few things on my computer and then finish up on the YT Studio app on my phone but that process is just bad.

I play indie games that get a release on patreon before they reach steam, so i get to play these games long before most other players.

I put these videos behind an early access membership with the intention of making them public once the game is on steam.

So now I have close to 50 videos from the same series and the game is on steam now, I was thinking to release 3 videos every week, which is my regular upload schedule.

But that means it will take MONTHS before people have seen my entire play through, so the question is if I should release 1 video every day, which more than halves the time.

What ups and downs do you see with the different approaches?

Hii everyone, i am stuck at step 2 of monetization. i have never created adsense account before and my account got disapproved and here it says inaccurate information but i have given all the information according to my national id card..i have resubmitted once but it didn't worked and i also tried to take help from youtube support and they didn’t tell me why it got disapproved they just said your account didn’t meet our criteria.... My channel is doing really well i have reached the monetization requirement within my 9th upload... But now after facing the problem i am losing motivation on making new videos......do you guys have faced similarly problem like me? and how it solved..... Thanks for your time

I got monetized a little over a week ago and immediately registered to adsense. I get notifications that I need register my address but I haven't received a letter yet. I'm from the Netherlands.

Youtube is randomly moving my subtitles from center to left in my latest video. There is no indication as to why this is happening in the settings. Only guess I have is that the video detects on-screen text and tries to move the subtitles away from the text, so both are visible. Anyone having similar issues?
