Estimated minutes watched new payment system?

Like I said, it's just something I heard from others which is why I said I would be wrong haha. Maybe there will be different percentages depending on the length of the video or it will all be one

I remember hearing 10-20 seconds sometime in 2012. YouTube does not release this information on purpose so botters don't get around the algorithm

Yes i hope so
I believe in Youtube They should choose a clever solution

What if your video, for example an intro, is less than 10 secs, it should be on a % basis

I honestly have no clue only google staff would know. If the minimum is true and your video is shorter than the minimum it would just adjust to the video length? Makes sense

But what if channel owner video is 1 hour (lets say some kind of TV show) and credit is based on minimum % percentage (lets say its 20%) - it would be insanely unfair with channel owner that only when his fans watch at least 12 minutes of a video he get credit, while another channel owner with 1 minute length video gets the credit when his video watched for 12 seconds.

It must me some kind of a mix from minimum duration or % fro short videos like GKart64 just mentioned.

p.s. regarding video which is 10 seconds long i think its not qualify for the ads at all (?)
Some time ago i read somewhere (if im not mixing something i read maybe on Youtube forums or on Youtube rules, not sure) that video must be at least 30 seconds long to be able to show ads but not sure if its true because i think lately i have seen even shorter videos with ads

Genreally true-view ads and standard in-stream ads do not display unless the video is longer than [insert number] but, overlay ads will display regardless of the length.

If you only upload 10 second videos, you probably shouldn't worry about money anyhow. The staying power of such a channel is probably a bit minimal.

If you just have an intro to your channel that's 10 seconds long, I wouldn't think it would matter if you monetized it or not... It's basically just an ad itself at that point.

They have kept a lid on the exact details of this stuff all along. Bottom line is, if you make good content and people watch it, you'll get paid. I wouldn't worry about doing anything except what you were already doing (hopefully). Tweaking to get those interaction numbers.
