YouTube announced on Wednesday that it will resume advertising on all videos, even if the channel is not part of the YouTube Partner Program. The change will take effect on June 1, 2021 for users outside of the United States.
In an update to its Terms of Service, YouTube said that it has the right to monetize all content on its platform. The company also said that it will share advertising revenue with content creators, regardless of whether or not they are part of the YouTube Partner Program.
YouTube's decision to resume advertising in countries outside of the YouTube Partner Program is likely due to the company's continued growth. In the third quarter of 2021, YouTube generated $5.04 billion in revenue, up 32% from a year earlier.
The move is also likely to be welcomed by content creators who are not part of the YouTube Partner Program. These creators will now be able to earn money from their videos through advertising, even if they do not have a large enough audience to qualify for the YouTube Partner Program.
However, it is important to note that YouTube will only share advertising revenue with content creators who create high-quality content that complies with the company's policies. Creators who violate YouTube's policies, such as by uploading copyrighted content or posting spammy videos, may have their ads removed and their channels suspended.
As a video uploader for YouTube, I would like to ask Cambodians to create videos that comply with the principles and conditions of YouTube to avoid any problems that may eventually lead to the loss of self-interest.
