SXSW 2020
Making Sense of YouTube's Monetization Policies
Description:
When Google unveiled new changes to YouTube’s ad monetization policies, it astonished the creative community as indie creators were no longer able to monetize their channels at all, and other videos were demonetized due to content, captions and thumbnails suddenly being inappropriate. In this session, I will provide tips on how to navigate the inner workings of YouTube, with topics such as: 1) the role of Content ID; 2) identification of assets which represent different types of IP in videos; 3) ad revenue splits among owners of different assets in videos; and 4) criteria for specific works such as films and vlogs. I will also refer to the EU’s new data regulations and their impact on YouTube, and identify other sources of revenue for creators when videos containing their works are played.
