Youtube won't let me monetize!!!

[ForeverAlonePrick]

yeah unless its you talking into a camera they get all wierd. They are overboard now to the point of silliness. I made a software tutorial and they gave me a hard time over that.. that is when I decided to submit it again and say "i did everything in here i own it all i did all the recording all the music is made by me (which it was) no one owns any rights to anything in this video" The tutorial was for open sourced software 3d modelling and texturing lol. That one got stalled so I pulled it down and said those words and it was fine.. /shrug

I am wondering if they are training people or something because with the strange responses and the trouble peopel are having its usually what happens when a large company hires a ton of new lower level customer service types.

If you're showing someone else's software, you have to explain how you don't own the rights, who DOES own the rights, and how you are using it for a tutorial, which is an educational setting, making the footage fair use. Youtube's very specific with these things. Music and gaming in specific are very difficult. It's best to wait for your channel to grow, and see if you can attach yourself to a network. That's about all you can really do.

I sent them a letter telling them to please allow me to monetize those videos, I told them what equipment I use, I told them that the music and lyrics were 100 percent my creation, and that I own the copyrights. I just hope they don't ask for proof of the copyright documentation cause that's another weird thing. copyright.gov won't let me see what I have copyrighted, they claim that I was informed to make copies of it and print it off my computer and was made aware that it would become unviewable to me after that. Why on EARTH would you not let me view the copyrights I OWN?? This whole system is so infuriating sometimes... people have just made life BEYOND complicated, and so unnecessarily.

Yeah man, like I said, I don't think there's much that you can do at this point. All I can think of is seeing if you can get recruited by a network, and let them handle the monetization of your videos. I know that some people end up doing that, because they have no other way to monetize. That's all I've got.

Appreciate it man. It'll work out I suppose. Time to go upload to itunes!

not showing someone elses software it was open sourced software called blender on another open sourced platform called opensim neither is owned by anyone in fact i am one of the contributors lol so in this case its mine and no ones I had one rebranded to be mine so its MINNNNE lol.

kinda like explaining to them "my website is run on apache linux is that okay with you guys?"

Anyhow my channel is ancient and I am not interested in much of this craze for subs or anything. Its a channel composed of the geekiest stuff that barely anyone understands. I sit in front of a black dos panel typing in commands and blab about what they do as people watch a virtual environment change that runs on my pc 24/7

I've got the same problem! There is no notification why my video is not monetized. The thing is that when I uploaded my video (where I was just sitting in front of the camera and talking with no music on), it was monetized all right. A couple of days later I entered my Video Manager page and saw that the monetization icon was gone completely and there was not a sinlge word of explanation! I deleted the video (although it had quite a lot of views by that time) and reuploaded it. The same story repeated step by step. What I'm really annoyed with is that in case you have any sort of problem, there is no normal link to its solution, no desent FAQ center.... whenever you write an e-mail to youtube support center, you are being answered by some robot which automatically redirects you to youtbe forum....... What the hell is goin on???

I'm guessing it was denied for monetization by YouTube. They do this crap a lot with no explanation. This is one of the main reasons people seek out partnership with networks. You don't have to worry about this nonsense adsense and youtube puts you through. You can monetize your videos immediately and they always stay on.
