YouTube says it will introduce new icons that will let you know how much your video has been monetized. It will also give you a new way to directly appeal to Video Managers for copyright issues and community guideline issues.
Three new icons (as shown below) will appear in Creator Studio over the next few weeks to show creators how their videos have been valued in cash. The first, the green circle dollar symbol, means you're going to earn enough money through "the broadest group of advertisers," as well as through YouTube Red.
The dollar sign in a yellow circle means that a video can only earn money from YouTube Red or from a limited set of ads because it has been judged "not suitable for all advertisers". Conceivably, it could also mean that it will be withdrawn because it "does not comply with the advertising guidelines", says YouTube's blog.
Finally, the dollar sign without Colour means the video will not earn YouTube Red or ad revenue. "This could be due to a copyright violation, content claim, or violation of Community Guidelines," Youtube explains.
YouTube points out that the new icons don't in any way increase your earnings, but at least "give you a more detailed understanding of whether or not your video has been found to be suitable for all advertisers." If there is a problem, you can make a call directly to the Video Manager. “We want our systems to become more and more better – and help you,” he adds.
Last year Google created a team to deal with monetization and company policy, but the problem that arose from the ads with offensive content forced the company to take stringent measures. Since then, Google has emphasized "Google Featured," or on Channels with five percent more views, and many advertisers have returned there.
With 1,5 billion monthly users, the site has plenty of content to solve, making it difficult to separate legitimate video removal requests from the false. As Youtube thinks, the new three-symbol monetization system will help without doubting the users.
