I guess so as I have found others with no ads.
Comment on Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers.
Shadow@lemmy.ca 8 months agoI thought YouTube posters could choose if their video is monetized. Isn’t this kinda on the person who posted it?

You need a certain amount of watch time over the previous year. I have 2k subs and can’t even get half of the required watch time, my videos show ads I cannot turn off

YouTube will prioritize monetized vids

That setting is now only available to accounts that meet certain criteria (subscribers, views, whatever), or so I’ve heard. Depending on the videos you frequent, they may or may not meet those criteria.
And yes, this means that if you’re a small channel Google can force you to show ads without giving you any of the revenue.

If true, that’s kinda fucked.
