Got mine denied today. No rules broken, just not eligible apparently. This sucks

[LivingWithTheGuzmans]

"Among other criteria" is always going to be the main problem. Let me translate that in YouTube terms "If we like you"

[rosemindepulco]

My Husband received Silver Bottom, without being monitized on YouTube. He was upload copyright claimed videos like music, that not YouTube count as a watch hours, but he is eligible to claimed silver bottom if he is atlist 6months no copyright strikes.

The only YouTubers didn't received Silver Bottom is the channel that using a fake subscribers or bot.

But channel that having 100k subscriber organicly is possible to received a YouTube play bottom is their subscribers are real and organic, monitized or non monitized channels, because play bottom is base on subscribers and not talk about the monitizations or non monitizations, but YouTube got some conditions to non monitized channels that is a 6months without copyright strike. If you have a copyright strike you need to wait 6months until the copyright strike was removed by YouTube then wait 1month to 6months email from YouTube to claimed a silver bottom.

It's very hard to claimed a Silver Bottom if you get a strikes and also a non monitized channels.

I was really afraid not getting mine for any unknown reason, but it finally arrived in my country! Good luck with your channel, cheers!

[Kyoko__]

Seems pretty logic to only receive them if you're playing by the rules.

[TheNoobMaddie]

Yeah this is absolutely disappointing. I know I do not make the most respectable content in the YouTube community but I still hit the milestone and followed all the requirements. They even stated in my email that they can’t provide why I got rejected but I just did. But oh wait I can always reapply within 90 days on sending the email! But what do I even fix? And to top it off they end that sweet email with a note that says to keep creating content despite not receiving my award. They just want to use creators to make money and not even reward them, and cheap out on the award and make it smaller. Thanks YouTube 😐

[OldManArmStrength]

I'd probably just throw it away. It's just some useless pontification

[AyeMarie]

Due to my cyber bullies doing copyright claims on vids they stole from my channel. I now gotta wait a year before I can get the silver play button and I feel like I'm not good enough and want to cry. I wouldn't have been in this situation if my cyber bullies wouldn't have done what they did

[YoungKKBandz]

100k to get the first one, I'm 1.5% there

[KingRiverVlogs]

I got my silver play button from YouTube a couple days ago so everything is good!!!

[HunDev_PL]

Yeaa... If you don't have money to buy microphone, rich pc and everything best, it can take 10 years for example.

[Rami]

Youtube: hmmm you got a copy right strike no play buttons for you
Me: you know the rules and so do i. Say goodbye

[virginiaperaltareynante]

I hope I could received
at least one of those play buttons YouTube awards someday.

[RiversideHomesteadLife]

Almost 200k subs and they won’t give me one.
And they will not give me a clear reason.

[FrostyFragz]

Oh man If I got one I'd make sure it's somewhere everyone can see but that's still a long way away unfortunately

[brandonemmanuel]

Lecturing us about YouTube awards before getting one himself. Bold, *clap clap*

[soyjeffe__]

So essentially they won’t give you one if they believe your followers are paid for which makes sense or if you have some type of strike/ban on your account mostly likely uploading something you shouldn’t have.

[biancastreegan]

Is there a way where you can just not get it? There are some youtubers that don’t want a play button because they don’t want their family finding out. Is it okay if you don’t want to receive it or something?

[zarkplayz]

What if you broke a rule after receiving a play button?

[MandoMahri]

So if you only get one strike you're unable to get it?
