YouTube Lets work it out - Demonetized

[Smart Facts UK]

Hey Everyone, to try and work out what is causing the evil yellow dot...

I thought we should start posting examples and start talking about in more depth.


Here is a couple of mine I have 5 out of 57 yellow.

Well most of the time its done based on a computer algorithm aimed at specific key words or phrases which may be included in either the title, tags or descriptions. Or it could also be a target on a specific type of content, which is deemed by the meta data of the video - for example title of the game being played, the type of content you outlined you do. Not overly much more to say about it, unfortunately.

Most times it is due to certain words in yiur title, description or tags. My gaming videos sometimes turn yellow for maybe a day but go green afterwards so there isn't really much you can do since YouTube has this new policy.

It's a few things that cause it.
The used SEO's, Game title, just overall the meta data present is what causes the gold coin fiasco.

In the end if you can't find stuff under your tags (Fun Fact: Google takes every tiny soft swearword, to give you a perspective there their Beta API using artificial intelligence to notice rude comments and stuff marks everything using the word "stupid" with high priority so try getting rid even of words that are even remotely controversial, no matter how far fetched that may be) it's just them scanning the video and finding something random. You'll never know what it is in the end.

People are talking about they want their channels whitelisted by Youtube. I don't know if that's an option, but I do know that you can get blacklisted! A collab friend to me uploads a lot of GTA videos, with no swearing from his end (although the game itself can be quite rough) and always gets his videos yellow flagged. He also uploads other videos, such as Ark, Minecraft and so on and they also get flagged. In the end he uploaded a video with just a blank screen on it and no sound. The title was a dot and no tags or description. Still got flagged! So yeah, if you get a lot of flagged videos to start with, you apparently can be blacklisted. I think the AI needs to be removed, honestly.
