in November my private youtube account, vevo account and youtube topic account have been merged to my OAC through your support. Thats really great! But the videos from the Vevo and Youtube-Theme account were never monetized. Now, as they are connected to my channel, I am wondering if I get the money back.
The concrete cases are two videos with over 100.000 clicks from the vevo and youtube - topic channel. Do I get the money back from these videos, even if the clicks were generated before the creation of the OAC?
It’s important to know that YouTube doesn’t monetize your content based on the amount of views you collect, but on the amount of ads they place on your videos. Even if you’ve cumulated 100’000 clicks, it doesn’t necessarily translate into 100’000 monetized ad placements. Unfortunately, if YouTube hasn’t provided us with revenue data for your videos, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do about it.
Also, keep in mind that monetization is never retroactive, so you will not receive any money “back” from them I’m afraid
