Frequently Asked Questions

Can I check if someone else's YouTube channel is monetized?

Yes. Our monetization checker works with any public channel or video URL. Analysis uses publicly exposed ad placement indicators, connected AdSense configurations, channel membership join buttons, and Super Thanks enablement flags.

Why do non-monetized channels still show ads?

Under YouTube's Terms of Service updated in November 2020, YouTube reserves the right to monetize all content across the platform. On non-monetized channels, ads may run, but 100% of that revenue goes directly to YouTube rather than the creator.

What are the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) requirements?

To qualify for Tier 1 (Fan Funding & Memberships), channels require 500 subscribers and 3,000 public watch hours (or 3M Shorts views). To qualify for Tier 2 (Ad Revenue Sharing), channels need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours in the past 12 months (or 10M Shorts views in 90 days).
