Monetisation & Revenue
Demonetisation
Also called: demonetization, demonetised, getting demonetised
At video level, YouTube's ad-suitability systems mark a video as unsuitable for most advertisers, ads are limited or switched off, and the creator sees a yellow icon in Studio. That decision can be appealed for human review. At channel level, demonetisation means removal from the Partner Program, which is a far heavier outcome and follows repeated policy problems instead of one awkward video. Worth separating from copyright: a Content ID claim also diverts revenue, but the money goes to the claimant, and the mechanism behind it is unrelated.
