Here's why your YouTube Channel Monetization is still pending

Since the beginning of 2018, officials from YouTube had decided to strict the policies for their monetization program that allows the content creators to earn while making videos for YouTube audiences.

Before that, YouTube was using an automated check algorithm that certainly decides whether to accept the application of monetization or not. And due to this process, most of the YouTube channels were successfully able to get their monetizations.

Now, this process has become a nightmare for a YouTube content creator. Whether you have a hundred thousand of subscribers or you're having a total of 1000 subscribers, you have to achieve the target of a minimum of 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time. After this rigorous process, YouTube Studio allows a content creator to submit their application for monetization review.






Here comes the interesting thing, now YouTube does not use that old automatic algorithm for the approval of channel monetization, instead, they have inducted employees to physically check whether a YouTube Channel should be approved for monetization program or not.

Why your YouTube Channel Monetization is still pending or rejected?
There can be several solid reasons. Some of the reasons YouTube has mentioned in their support forums are:

1. Your YouTube Channel contains duplication content/Copied Content from other platforms.
2. Your Content contains controversies or language is abusive etc.
3. Videos containing nude, sexual activities, terrorism, violent or repulsive things.
4. Videos containing harmful and dangerous acts that might be harmful to viewers too.
5. Your content is basically for spamming and for misleading etc.

Also, video title and description also play an important role while reviewing the process for monetization.

So, if you keep following the YouTube content guidelines and all the necessary stuff, I' sure that you can easily get approval for your YouTube channel monetization.
