Youtube launches pilot program to facilitate the monetization of videos

YouTube has been quite controversial in recent months with the monetization of videos. Since the rules have changed several times. But the website is now launching a new pilot program that seeks to facilitate the monetization of videos. Something that the company itself has now officially announced through a statement.

Creators are going to have to add detailed information about the content in the video, relative to advertiser guidelines. So it will be known in advance if it meets the monetization rules.

The idea of ​​the page is to make the monetization process easier this way, in combination with its algorithmic classifiers and human reviewers. So the process is much more complete and reliable. This way there will be less false positives about the videos. YouTube has already started testing this idea with a number of users to see if it works as expected.

They are also testing supporters' sponsorships to supplement the income that channel owners earn by monetizing their videos. This appears to have worked well as revenue has increased dramatically.

These measures come after the tightening of the rules that YouTube introduced in February, which caused a 50% decrease in requests for monetization. Something that also affected the website itself. So they hope with these changes that things will improve and channel owners can make money and have more advertisers.
