Questions about the rules on showing specific earnings data in a video

[SandSeven7]

The embedded video below is the content in question. I have heard in several videos that as partners we are not allowed to discuss specific numbers in a video. So, for now, I've put up an unlisted video with copy right music and not monetized it until I can figure out what the rules are on this. If I find that it's not breaking terms and conditions to post exact numbers, I'll commentate the video and take out the copy righted music, and only then make it public.

From what I've read, I have not found anything stating that it's breaking terms and conditions outside of using the information for monetary gain. Such as asking people to click or watch all the commercials, and other tactics of the sort. That is the last thing I will be doing in the video.

My goal for this content is to educate current and future YouTubers on the earnings since when my channel started to take off, I was unable to find even a decent ballpark figure towards what I would make if the growth continue or slowed or whatever since no hard numbers could be found. The socialblade stats showing things such as $10-$2000 for a month aren't helpful. When I had to make the decision to cut "x" number of shifts in a month to give myself time for the channel, it was a guessing game that I got right, but I was lucky.

Any advise on this would be appreciated. Thanks!


PS
If it's a slap on the wrist offense with the video not being taken down, I'll happily post it without monetizing it to get the information out there for others, but no reason to go through all the work if it'll be taken down along with a strike on the channel.

If the music is copyrighted by a third party, that video could earn you not only a contract violation, which may or may not come under Community Guidelines, but also a Content ID or even a copyright strike. I believe violation of contract terms might lead to your partner contract being ended by YouTube, or by your network if you are member of an MCN; I invite any member who has more information to speak to this question.

I would at least replace the third party copyrighted music with royalty free music for which you can provide evidence of licensing.

The 3rd party music isn't the issue I'm worried about or would even be in the public version of the video. I simply want to make sure the analytics showing detailed earning numbers such as cpm, monetized number of views vs total views, gross earnings, net earning and so on. Is it a YouTube terms and conditions issue or a network one? I didn't find it in my networks or YT's terms and conditions, but I could have missed it.

I'm going to just comm it and see what happens. Act first, screw up second, then finally gain knowledge and wisdom using the perspective gained. It's usually my model for all things in life.

I wouldn't be in the TOS but in the contract you signed when you joined your network if your network does indeed work via a contract; it is a standard clause in agreements of this type. Also I would check the YT terms for using web site screen shots and software captures which would be found in Youtube's Help section. I wish you luck.
