Creator Insider is an informal YouTube channel to share information from the YouTube Creator technical team with the wider Creator community. We will feature different people talking about the products they work on and changes we are making so you have more context.

YouTube PLEASE address the invalid traffic / limited ad's notifications. Have been a creator since 2007 and these notifications are really out of control.

[FelizMusic]

Again I'll say that the algorithm still benefits big creators. Please tune it up to benefit the little creators.

[MichaelBordenaro]

Can you guys address the invalid traffic issue?? Seems a lot of creators randomly get hit with this, potentially lose a lot of revenue and YT doesn't really help them figure it out. No description of what is causing the issue, and it seems to be out of creators control. YT needs to be more transparent with issues like this.

I feel that if the channel has not been monetized, ads should not run on those videos, doesn’t sound fair. I have been working hard and I understand why the requirements are there, that just doesn’t feel fair to me. I have seen ads on my videos and I have never earned anything. Thanks for the explainers tho, greatly appreciated.

[ChaosMoogle]

Love this! Thank you! One thing I can think of, it’s amazing that we can tell the system where we feel an ad would fit, I think creators should also have an option that’s like, “no ads in this area”
Example, if I have a 15 minute video but there is this 3 minute part in the video that is VERY important, maybe, I want it to be impossible for an ad to appear in those 3 minutes as I don’t want anything to distract the viewer from that most important segment

I am so grateful for Youtube and my subscribers.

I love watch these video now. Its helps alot.

[LorraineVesterink]

I'm so grateful for everything youtube is doing for their content creators. Thank you !!

[TeachaMantoFish]

It’s not really a partnership. It’s kind of an abusive parent relationship. So much so, I kind of am scared posting this opinion. 😂

[Anaspassion]

I'm So grateful and thankful to Youtube 🥰. Thank you YT!

[idharmapuri]

Excellent explanations sir thank you YouTube team.

18:30 I propose creating a video series playlist to enhance our understanding of the community guidelines. Each episode would be just two minutes long, focusing on key points from each section. This way, we can break down the guidelines into easily digestible segments that are both informative and engaging.

They should explain the invalid traffic issues coz it doesn't make any sense

I have been on YouTube for a long time. Earlier, you could get into the YouTube Partner Program quickly after making a valid YouTube channel. Now, there are requirements like Watch Hours. I personally love both the times because they have their intriguing essence and spark. The company has always maintained its integrity on the basis of its high quality. I love the unique discussion about the core of the corporation happening in this video.

[tsbrownie]

I like most of Youtube's creator program, BUT one issue is the "you must publish at least once every 6 months or your channel is demonitized." That was detrimental to creators that do long payback content like DIY, science, etc. where ROI does not happen for 5, 7, or 10 years. Also, it pits "live" channels against "dead" channels that are still being shown with ads.

[THEisGOD]

Hi, I’m new to YouTube, and I’m realizing that creating content and having many people enjoy what you do feels amazing.

19:00 "Brand unsafe" = woke

[ABRAKidsTv]

You had an interesting guest, it's a pity there were no questions about the algorithm.
This is a constant problem for creators.
Especially at the initial stage.
Imagine a creator who creates a video for 7 days and gets 20 views. After a few days, the same creator does something "lightly" for 20 minutes and gets 15, 000 views - because the YT view support system has been launched.
How to explain this? There is still no clear explanation of such mechanisms on YT.
I keep my fingers crossed for your next materials.

[AceLuceroTech]

I just hit 100, 000 subscribers. Youtube provides all of the tools necessary to succeed. I love YouTube.

Creators should have to link the video source they are reacting too or using so the original creators can get something for there original hard work
