Hey everyone,

Anyone else got this on their channels? This channel is not monetised as I dont meet the requirements yet it is showing the yellow eye icon for the majority of videos and only a handful are showing as green. This looks VERY suspicious to me, as if these videos have been pre-disapproved before I even reach monetisation edibility. I am aware there is a warning at the top that states: Monetization data is currently unavailable for some videos. As a result, some information may be missing or inaccurate.

But honestly this looks fishy to me.

Dear Michael,

This is a known bug and YouTube's coders are working to fix it. Even with channels still using the older Creator Studio, non-monetized channels are suddenly showing gained revenue where none should be. The bug was first reported around May 5th; and to date it continues to spread, to the confusion and anger of YouTube creators.

Yep! The same happened to me!

Most of the videos had the color change, if there was something to it then I kinda can tell why on the first batch of videos... (swearing, even though in the later half I did try to censor). The most recent ones though which are different than what I started with in the channel are different, so can't see what's flaggable besides the word 'cache', as I say my channel name in it, and it sounds like cash. *shrug*

I still dont understand why swearing is an issue as long as it isnt constant. YouTube censorship although a lot of it is necessary it has become a right laugh.
