Frequently asked questions
Can this tell if a channel is definitely monetized?+
No. YouTube doesn't publicly expose monetization status — this checks the public subscriber threshold only.
What are the full YPP requirements?+
1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 public watch hours in 12 months (or 10M Shorts views in 90 days), plus policy compliance.
Why can't watch hours be checked?+
YouTube only shows watch hours to the channel owner in YouTube Studio — it is not public data.
Is meeting the threshold enough?+
No. It is necessary but not sufficient — watch time, review and policy compliance also apply.
