… a movie distribution company. I even exec produced an original feature film based on a story I came up with. So YouTube is still part of my every day but I don’t teach it anymore But if you do ever have a question or just want to follow my adventures I’m now @C_E_OhNo on X

If you’ve wondered where I’ve been all these years loyal followers, I stopped YouTube consulting and as @TomFrankly once challenged me on once, started to eat my own dog food 13 channels, and almost 4 million subscribers and 1.6 billion views later I built …1/2

You guys still here? What I miss?

Tuesday nights are for the lads

@TeamYouTube Hi there - i tried that but it sadly doesn't work - maybe because it's geo-blocked in the usa? I am the channel owner and it's not private - thanks

@channel_fuel appreciate the URL! if you haven't yet, you can check if your vid is eligible for an additional yellow icon review here: goo.gle/3yc0Wv1

Hey @TeamYouTube we have a video that has almost 10 million views in 4 months & has been flagged for monetisation and been confirmed. This happens all the time of course but since this is so big can you please re-review the decision as we have trimmed all the bad stuff out?

@TeamYouTube of course that would help - d'oh! youtu.be/bje4lTTXVRM Thank you (we are a movie distribution company not a pirate uploader)

@channel_fuel want to make sure we're looking at the right video! can you share the video URL so we can take a look?

@TeamYouTube and it was working fine about an hour ago

@channel_fuel to confirm, is this happening across all devices? if you haven't yet, clear your cache & cookies + update your browser. on mobile, reinstall the app and restart your device. lmk how it goes

@TeamYouTube experiencing major issues with maning monetization and rights across all my channels. Known issue?

@TeamYouTube yes multiple users in my team on different machines

@TeamYouTube multiple channels, multiple videos, multiple users - rights management and monetization settings

@channel_fuel mind sharing more context about your issue so we can point you in the right direction?

@TeamYouTube are you able to provide time codes? As i say this is a PG film . When something is limited monetisation we get time codes - why not for age gating? This doesn't make any sense!

@channel_fuel after careful review, we've confirmed that your vid was correctly age restricted as it's not appropriate for viewers under 18. you can learn more about child safety policy here: goo.gle/43kFs8V

Hey @TeamYouTube on a new channel I have a video went viral then got age gated. This is an officially licensed movie which is **PG RATED** in the uk - suitable for families - yet YouTube have age gated?! Please can you reconsider or tell me why? youtu.be/Q_9AmPpDyaw

@TeamYouTube thank you. as i said this is a new channel but i have a network of big official movie channels - so i'm not a pirate! :-)

@channel_fuel we'll take a look into this & let you know what we find! hold tight, it may take a couple of days to hear back

@TeamYouTube a million thank yous!!!!! Have a blessed new year

@channel_fuel following up! after careful review, your vid (DiQbQc4yVE8) is eligible for monetization & we've corrected its previous rating. you should now see a green $ in YouTube Studio

Hey @TeamYouTube my video youtube.com/watch?v=DiQbQc… was reviewed & seen fit for ads & then one week and one million views later it was reversed. I think it may be a fair judgement due to language used so if i use the editor to trim the offending scene can it be reviewed again?

@TeamYouTube thank you - if you can make an exception here that would be great as it has done over a million views and was originally viewed and passed as suitable. If it had been rejected at the time I would have edited before release

@channel_fuel sorry for the confusion on our end! videos can only be submitted once for review so making any changes & re-uploading it won't help. we'll see what we can do & get back to you w/ more info

@TeamYouTube hey @TeamYouTube i've edited the offending scene out but there is no option for a re-review after processing has completed - can this please be looked at again?

@channel_fuel once you've made changes, you can appeal for another review. more info here: goo.gle/3jxIUvQ

@TeamYouTube It has already been checked and overturned multiple times! Please check back through this Twitter thread . YouTube have admitted an error in this case and overturned the judgement on multiple occasions

@channel_fuel appeals are carefully reviewed & if it's confirmed that your content is not suitable for ads, then we won't be able to overturn the decision. it's best to check our ad-friendly guidelines and self-rate your content here: goo.gle/3FAEX0P

Hey @TeamYouTube this is about the 4th time this has happened to this movie. Please can you fix this asap - it's already been viewed and approved about 4 times!

@TeamYouTube This has been reviewed and approved 3 times and passed! You can see from the Twitter thread please reconsider

@channel_fuel update, after review we have determined that your content doesn't align w/ our Ad-Friendly Guidelines & the yellow $ icon will remain. due to sexually suggestive depictions, this video isn't suitable for full monetization
