Demonetized for "Reused Content" **SOLVED**

- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- As vague as UA-cam is about their bots demonetizing UA-camrs I believe I have figured it out when it comes to "reused content". I appealed and lost my appeal from an actual individual, but it gave me even more information regarding why I was demonetized (although I disagree) and potentially how to fix it.

they hit me 4 times in 4 years its the way they keep all the add money for our work. they are scamming thousands of people like this for years out here .
Rumble
4 times? Oh my gosh. Did you figure out why each time?
@beautybytiffanyrose always something different reused material witch is almost everything on Pube-Tube
Time for a civil suit. I’ve heard SO MANY of these lately. Sounds like TT keeping peoples $ once they get a lot saved up.
you upload content that involves violence and don't blur faces for privacy and half of it isn't your footage its TV channels and random stuff aka reused content
so what they stealing?? when you are the one breaking TOS and stealing yourself you absolute toss pot
I got demonitized with reused content. I worked my butt off for it. My competitors who make similar videos are monetized. Just doesn’t make sense…
Fail army does this with every video
you make content asking them to like, comment or subscribe to vote aka artificially growing your stats (so your demonitized for more then just reused content, also just cause someone else is doing something don't mean its allowed they just ain't been caught yet) also the fact you have 1.01 million subscribers but not the views or stats to back it up so clearly some fakery going on with your channel too
UA-cam forgot that their whole business model was to give the amateur creator/producer/editor (one man band) a platform to gain a viewing audience.
I agree!!!
@JasonAlexzander1q47 that is true back in the day before the Internet grew, but also they use creators content and save on hiring content creators YT doesn't create its own content and then they treat content creators badly it's unbelievable how UA-cam is today
youtube didn't forget, youtube got brought by google (it changed before you noticed or even had an account on here
(JasonAlexzander created Jan 20, 2013) - (youtube brought on October 9, 2006) = (6 years earlier)
I understand your pain 1000% everything you said happened to me. I had a spike and huge growth in November. Wake up December 7th and I have refused content. Sent an appeal no luck, it's been 2 months now. Now I'm getting the lowest views since I started.
Did you find a solution
It’s completely ridiculous. They make money with all creators no matter if they have good videos or not but yet when it comes to pay creators now they come with that quality bs. If it’s not good to be monetized it’s not good for them to place ads on creators work simple math. Now we have to be all media experts ? Where is the content focus, the message we wanna share, teach etc Content means share informations doesn’t mean visual quality and not even mean 100% original. Crazy.
Same here! Good luck 🍀🤞
I just got Monetized on the 6th November for the very 1st time after being on UA-cam since 2006, then yesterday 8th of november, I got demonetized and youtube excuse was I used reused content, I used Friends videos, I edited so much, added extras, did cut the length of videos of over 1 hour to 5 minutes, 25 minutes etc. I spend years working so hard for nothing
@@TheHillsAdventuresInPortugalI got approved yesterday and rejected today. This is an actually so frustrating. I was so loving UA-cam so much more but now I am put off
UA-cam hates small creators these days, I'm thinking being montizied on YT just isn't worth it anymore unless you have really really great content, and even then.. they just keep finding ways to not pay us
yes true
I feel your pain! Although I'm a brand new channel, not yet monetized, I am feeling sooooo scared now! What if I work hard and get monetized then suddenly get demonetized through no fault of my own? I really miss the days when it was so easy to pick up the phone and talk to a real LIVE person about issues, instead of having to depend on bots....
Well at least you know about it, I had no idea this could happen
Just happened to me, can't wrap my head around it.
I've been making original content on my main channel for 10 + years.
Yes that’s completely ridiculous. Channels are not good to be monetized and yet are good enough for them to make money with ads on that supposed not good videos. Nonsense …
UA-cam's "reused content" demonetization is a bunch of crap, and their appeal is nonesense and unfair
They monetized my channel too
UA-cam do not even let you know which video or videos got you demonetized. All they say is "Reused Content"
Yes exactly, then you have to work out what's bad and delete it before reapplying.
@@electricmotosgood advise😂
@@electricmotosI saw a vid where the creator deleted a ton of vids & edited others after getting demonetized for reused content, and STILL couldn't get monetized.
I just received the same thing. I'm don't know what video it was so I can correct it😢😢😢.
I subbed due to your PURE HONESTY !!!!!! I'm in the middle of it all right now and its CRAZY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel you I have been denied 5 times and I still don't know what to do
Same problem here. I did an appeal video. I even showed them myself filming, myself editing, screen shots of my work, all of it. I also was very careful to either remove, or make sure any copyrighted flagged material was removed from my channel. I'm also a professional video producer, and my channel isn't filled with junk. I was still rejected. I don't believe an actual human watches your appeal. Only bots and AI.
I've concluded that the only way is you have to remove almost every last video that isn't yours in any and every way. All compilations. All video done by someone else, even free-license, copyright free, etc. should probably be removed. Sound crazy? It seems the only way. If someone else has another suggestion, I'd like to know.
UA-cam moderators, chat, email and such will do nothing to help. They are ordered to not tell you anything more than sending you the same links you can easily find on your own.
nah, even deleting everything that isn't yours in any way wouldn't work; i've done research into other creators who've gotten demonetized for "reused content" who have uploaded wholely original content, but still got demonetized for reusing what is literally original content.
the closest violation most of the others have is "creating content others have already," because making music or telling stories isn't original because mozart and shakespeare did it before you did.
The real reason is because too many people are exposing mainstream media lies with their small channel content. UA-cam doesn't like creators who will show their audience the truth about things and expose the lies. By rolling back the tape so to speak.
If you show how the mainstream narrative is wrong (using mainstream video clips etc during your videos in order to support your talking points). UA-cam will demonetize you. Google/YT are not your friend and are anti freedom. Google and YT act like publishers but are exempt from prosecution concerning their ability to censor people's content.
The appeal process is wild. They want you to make a video showing how you make videos, and talk to them about why you think you deserve another shot all in four minutes and 30 seconds.
Thanks for the video… I don’t see the other link you said you were Gonna post. UA-cam has been telling lots of people lately they have reused content and it’s not true :(
The link is on there now, thanks for reminding me.
@@EricWillard20 thank you!
I as well I have a good following but I am starting to think this is a scam . Like you said they are still making money off my videos. So I am thinking screw youtube making money and just use them as a push platform to something else.
Thanks for the great, honest video.
This has happened to me. It's ridiculous! Or in your words B.S.
I can relate to a lot here.
I don't think a human being has watched my appeal video. The whole thing is a joke and a money making scheme.
You only get 5 mins for the appeal video, do they realise how long it takes to create content?
So many hours and effort wasted, I feel like creating a new channel and scrapping everything.
Good luck to you and wish you every success. 😊
You just needed screen shots of your programs you use to edit, your voice over and editing process frame by frame on your computer etc. And show your scripts etc. I did a video to appeal and it got accepted in 24 hours. Did you follow the format and mentioned your channel url in the first 30 secs. Maybe you didnt follow the format
I did all that and it was very thorough and still got rejected, for the reason that it didn't represent the whole channel even though it did and I have 280k subscribers
This just happened to me. Iv'e seen a spike in my channel being that iv'e gotten time to work more on my channel due to no longer working my regular 9-5. I'll do an appeal video now and try to be as descriptive as possible.
I did all of that, I showed everything and they rejected it saying it didn't represent the whole channel even though it did.
happened to me 3 days ago.. but I have a "gaming channel".. so I saw it coming a mile away :)
However.. my appeal was well received and after two days I was remonetized... Pretty cool.
I'm pretty much on the same part, except I'm trying to get monetized in the first place. I specialise in Japanese videogame content, but get littered with claims of re-used content despite recording all of my footage myself
Been there. It's a painful process.
They rejected me and I appealed and got the same messages you did. I'm also using envato and uploaded all the licenses as required. My niche is meditation and relaxation. They can 'look at the backside of me' too (love that). I'm deleting all my videos now and will upload them with a commentary box of me talking for the first part in attempt to validate the 'creative process' for content creation. How do channels like Fail Army get past this with ONLY reused content of stupid people doing stupid things..?
I don't think Fail Army is monetized. They make their money other ways.
they hit me with this aswell and i honestly don’t know what to do
I'm actually having to deal with being denied for reused content as we speak supposedly I have been reusing content when my content is all filmed by me edited by me sucks I grinded all the way to 13,000 Subscribers was trying to join the UA-cam Partner Program and then they ripped me a new one now I'm having to go through a headache to fix it!! Not being able to talk on the Phone anymore for services is probably one of the following things that NEEDS to come back LMFAO
Look at some previous replies. The best thing to do is appeal the decision by contacting UA-cam via Twitter/X. Also, you may have to delete some content as painful as it may be and repost it. I figured out my “problem” was that I had used a “collection” of songs in my video that triggered this bs. What I do now is just use a royalty free song at a low volume in my videos and then just repeat it throughout the video so it doesn’t break their stupid rule of “collection of songs” despite the fact they were all royalty free. Best of luck, if you have more questions search my name and you can find a way to contact me.
Use the second option. Delete those videos you didn’t create or those with copywriter, wait for the date to reapply
It was take how many days because my channel they say it take 90 days.!! But many creators told me that it take 30 days to reapply if options 2 all instruction is better or okey
How could they cut you off from search engines? A lot of channels without monetization have been denied several times and yet they have not been cut off from search engines.
In my channel 100% is original with no stock videos or clips from third parties, everything is created by me and music is from the youtube library or licensed, despite that UA-cam claims I "reused content".
Did you ever get reapproved?
I was demonetise right now too because of "reused content" I didn't know which of my video does but atleast they'll tell mr which one so I could fix it, If I actually made a mistake
theyve done this to me for over a year went hard on shorts and went from 3k to 10kand they started messing up that too. I hate that we get no customer service
Same thing happened to my channel end of last year
did u fix it
I am going through this right now. It is so frustrating, just when I thought I was going to get my first payment they demonitized me.
It's happened to me now to my other youtube ,and the same day today I start earning to this account my other one...but hoping I can fix the other one
@@delbarnesadventure Are you going to try for the appeal? Or are you going to wait to reapply?
"I am planning on sending an appeal, but I am facing a problem as I have already deleted two videos. However, I am still going to try sending the appeal this weekend. In case my appeal gets rejected, I will have to reapply, but I am confused about how to do so, as the reapply button is not available for clicking."
@beautybytiffanyrose I replied to you using my Drag Racing channel I forgot to switch lol. This channel has a reused issue. ..it's me #delbarnesadventure
@@DragracingUSA Ifeel like I'm going to just pass on sending the appeal. I have to work on now getting my 4000 long form watch time because I got monetized for 10 mill shorts views in 90 days and I'm not going to hit that again
Just woke up today Monday morning August 7th 2023, and checking my studio app, I can't find the monetization section. I can't see earnings. I refreshed the app and checked but nothing. Then something ringed on my mind to quickly check my email and behold, on checking, the email says I have been demonized. I launched studio to check why and it says reused content. That's on my other channel. Not this. I suspect it relates to some of my videos appearing on the two channels.
And yes, my main channel began having a spike in the last few weeks, more views, more revenue. Just when I am having a spike in views, growth and revenue, they demonized me 🤦♂️🤦♂️. But the channel I have which is normal, not too much of a spike but monetized, they didn't bother about that. They will monitor you when you start getting too much growth.
This is so right. They are after the growth of people
This happened to my channel
After getting over 60,000 subscribers..
They demonetized me
Just happened to me a few hours ago! I've made the video and appealed, but have to wait up to 14 days. Really frustrating. None of my content is reused, it's all recorded, edited and uploaded by me. Each video is unique in it's own way, no two are the same. I've also never used other creators content in my videos either, with the exception of a few AUDIO clips in ONE of my videos. Other than that, none of my 2500+ videos contain ANY reused content.
How’d your appeal go? I don’t even bother anymore
@@SCP-BACKUP It was denied within a few hours. Apparently, my old non-commentary gaming videos are considered "reused content" so I had to delete them all, 600+ videos in total. Can't reapply until 28th June. But now struggling to reach the 4000 watch hours in the last 365 days requirement.
@@PureChaosX sometimes I think there’s a room full of billionaires laughing at us all while they send us running in circles trying to meet these requirements
@@PureChaosX are you 100% sure it's non-commentary gaming vids? I also got demonitezed last night but don't know which video is considered reused. My vids are mostly non-commentary gaming footage. If it's true that now we have to add our own voice that's huge L from youtube😢
@@KitsuWasTaken Honestly? I'm not 100% sure... but it's the only thing I can think of. I do not have other creators content on my channel that could be considered "reused content" and my channel consists pretty much of gaming videos. So my non-commentary gaming videos are all I can think of that caused the demonetization. And I think you mean ANOTHER huge L from UA-cam.
Same Exact thing Happened to Me today, I hope I can get it back :(
It has happened to me and I have 227,000 subs.
This just happened to me, it sucks i make all my own content myself
Same thing happened to me, it’s like being penalized for getting attention. Unfair for smaller/startup channels
UA-cam becoming the TV I through out 20 years ago
It also happened to me now. And i am looking for some ideas how to fix it and i found this video of yours and a lot more in comment section. I will try to fix it through appeal, i hope it will work. Goodluck to me. Thank you for sharing
I am a streamer and I was hit with reused content when 99% of my videos are mine. I also got 200$ in super chats and youtube is withholding it now
i’m here trying to figure it out
Just got my first viral video and two weeks later, Boom.....Demonetized.
Me too
I'm trying to get monetized and just realized some of my videos are not complying with policy. Whats the best way to fix that? Re-upload the same videos, but correctly complying, then delete the old ones? Or just moving forward make sure all comply and don't delete? Whats the best way?
This channel that I am writing my comment on got rejected for reused content. And my back up channel got demonetized Thursday. For no reason
Is there a RULE for what’s considered “lazy”? Are there stipulations for how hard you must work? It’s odd how they’re demonetizing people when their #s spike! Just in time for them to swoop in and get the $!
"Your stuff isn't good enough to be on our platform, we realize we content ID all your videos, so you make pennies on the dollar, and now we're making sure you make zero dollars, but what we're going to do, is keep your content on our platform, your edits, we're going to monetize them and cease payment of the pitiful amount we were providing for the edit.
You're edits are worth zero, that's why we'll not let you monetize them. We'll profit off your poor edits, but you get nothing."
My case is much sketchier than others, but I don't think they realize, it is work, there is 5-10 hours PER DAY. Don't underplay making intros and thumbnails either. Those take work too.
It's only the person who has never edited content that will claim that no work was done.
I'm fine with content ID claiming my videos. Great...but if you cut me out of the monetization process, I'm not uploading content for you to profit from while I only ever incur debt.
How did you resolve your issue? It would seem to me that yours was a genuine mistake, whereas mine can be up for debate.
From my POV, if you aren't willing to pay me 1 to 5 hours of monetization before the content ID hits, you have no business allowing the content to stay up, and it should be a strike. As it is, the copyright holder actually allows content to be used on YT. So...IDK.
Soon as your channel starts getting good views BOOOM.... DEMONETIZED
This is true
😢same that's hàppenn to me when my channel. Have lot views
I had a spike since last week my channel just starting to get more views, viewers even share my content which never happened before not just get demonetize for reused content.
I was demonetized on one channel and did a simple video appeal and got my monetization back within days. I got demonetized this channel and did the same type of appeal video and got rejected because they said I only described a small portjon of my videos and they werent representative of my entire channel.
I feel they didnt look at my channel. 95% of my channel is my and friends giving opinions of the New York Knicks. The videos are really high quality and we give commentary to any highlights. Its really frustrating.
It happen to me aswell😂 3 times they are saying reused content…All content is mine i only had once songs from a payed website(music for creators).Apart that all content 100% created by me.I end up deleting 90% of my videos because i got mad and now need to start all over with the hours only got left 270h from 8k😂.So is not a easy journey because lack of comunication from UA-cam end.
You don't get reused content just for reusing clips. Looking at your channel, there is no theme in it, its a bunch of videos about everything and your thumbnails aren't any different from eachother for a user do tell what the difference between the videos. These are some of the things why UA-cam may have hit you with Reused content. It's not just about reusing clips, I know it may sound wierd but that how UA-cam works, and those video appeals never work. Make these few changes specially to yor thumbnails, then reapply. I hope this helps
I’d reread ALL (every line) of their do’s and donts” of making and uploading content.
i got 30 days to reapply so is it necessary to delete reused videos earlier i mean can i delete them later like after 28 days so that i get some more subscribers if i delete them later not earlier
Same here with me.
I will officially start uploading videos in 2 weeks. I pray it all works well.
same problem here, just got demonetised cause of reused content when my channel features original content only. i had a spike of views and was making decent money, they took it all away and the support chat line is totally useless
Same just like you 😢. Just happened to me
did you sorted your problem? my 2nd chance to reapply its on the 5th of october, but i still dont know what is the actual problem in my channel as they dont want to tell me what is the problem@@SquallRanger
Another funny thing too, since I got nixed yesterday, a couple of my videos have picked up steam that my channel hasn't seen in weeks.
Yep, they do that so they get free ads out of your video without having to pay. That happened to me too.
Me now I don’t know what to do 😢
UA-cam just ran one of my shorts to 6 million views, (no that’s not a typo), and as soon as it started to slow down on views.... whammo...demonitization
Bastards…
This video is just facts.
My two cents.
Good luck Adaptive Traveler. Berlin will be your "new start". 😉👍
UA-cam's "reused content" policy is designed to prevent people from using other people's videos or images without permission. The policy states that content creators cannot upload videos or images that they do not own or have permission to use.
"This includes footage or images that are offered on other websites for a fee or for free".
The policy also specifies that videos or images that are reused without adding "significant original content or value" are not allowed. This means that content creators must add their own original commentary, editing, or other creative input to videos or images that they use from other sources.
Have same problem...😢
I also demonetize for re used content 😪😪
It's really confusing 😕
When i used another channel content with 100% edit they accepted it
But I deleted everything cz the content creator asked me to delete it even i worked hard for it cz they didn't edited it
So I made my own content with better editing and better in everything
But they said reused content i really don't know what's the problem...i don't have copyright claim or any content used from another channel or another app!
Maybe bcz i post it in another channel to check if it's copyrighted?(cz something i add some music to it but 2%)
I added the link, sorry I didn't before. I sort of borrowed some of his concepts, but applied them more to my situation. Check out the video and hopefully his coupled with mine will help you. It seems like UA-cam is "slimming down" those that it monetizes in order to make its content more like a streaming service, but I don't have any evidence of that. What is clear, is that UA-cam is demonetizing people then significantly upping the standards by which they can reapply.
They just Demonetized me yesterday after a huge spike in my channel too.
@RATED CREATIVE im sorry to know that
But i think they don't accept u when u have only one viral video and others don't have many views
I really don't understand their algorithm neither their system of monetization
@@sor173 yep it's something that their system just isn't use to.
@RATED CREATIVE yeah u don't understand their system i think sometimes it's randomly, the first channel that i had i monetized it in one week they pushed my content so hard
But i deleted it cz i deleted the content of it and tried to create my own content in the same channel they didn't push it like the first time so i deleted everything
And i created another channel while the same idea maybe better as the first channel they didn't push its content!
And i saw so many big channels got demontized without any reason
I totally agree with you
Bout time to boycot YT! Past time really
Dude I’m having similar issues !!
Let me know if you can help me
Google search my name and contact me. I can try and help
Thank you so much will do
sorry bro for your pain especially if that was your only income sorry , first of all start an new on , personally i only two or tree i was rejected for monetization for the first account wich i made too many mistake i used people content , but i still working on second one is clean i do every myself dont trust even buying music i go to studio make my own song and track i pay i shoot things on my camera myself from first experience just start over if you like your job
i ended up giving up on my channel
there should be a different platform like youtube, youtube is just became ridicules day by day
Happened to me last july 10 i don't know if i will continue or what😮
So that means reused content is not allowed
Dude so many have hit the u tube wall . you can't fight the wall. You have to make multiple channels so many creators are diversifying sources goto Rumble etc.
Reused content is content that you buy on stock cites like adobe stock, shutterstock...etc. That is exactly what you are doing. I don't get your explanations. You are describing what not to do. Create your own content and that's it. Buying videos is not the way
Thats not true because people buy sounds and images to create MEDITATION videos or HEALING/ASMR videos and it can be up to hours long.
@@HookahAnonymous Yes, but they cannot monetize the videos.
I can't find that Twitter username. Can you share the link?
@teamyoutube
super bro
Did you get monetize??
Yes, after some waiting and messaging them multiple times
Did you do the video appeal?
I got demonetize to,im motovlogger and got reused content from my original video...
I remember making some videos that i recorded with NCS after some time pass i see a message of reused content like wtf did i reuse😤 i play games that i purchase that i own so whats the deal with youtube bullsh%t
I really want to improve my videos. They're pretty crappy but I dont have enough subscribers anyway. I want yo get abetter phone an a laptop. The i can download an app to edit and improved the overall quality of my videos i may even make some art montages!! LOL any app you can recommend will be useful! I've subcribed, so enjoy Europ. I went solo age 18 for 2 years...what a blast. No social media then. ❤ these videos of creator getting scammed by youtube
Sounds like excuse to cut off smaller channels . They want me to pay adobe subscription for photoshop n premier to make peanuts 🥜 😂no thanks ☺️
12:59
0:22 95% of the content is original, aka ( 5% is not problem solved its not the stock footage and your own video start shows you ain't being truthful with yourself or you'd of said 100% took you till have way through the video to now say its 100% so is it 95% or 100% ....) lastly if you are asked to prove copyright ownership you have to prove it or people would just steal content and they want to see you working on a project and licensing documents simple provide that and youtube will whitelist you then in future (and yes come on really they want a screen recording of you editing its now hard to click record you dimb wit but then you make videos about moving to china so not supprised not the smartest bird in the nest are you
Why would UA-cam pay you if people keep uploading videos and using their platform?
