YouTube Monetization Not Enabled Despite Thousands of Views
I have been using YouTube since 2018, and for approximately three years I have been regularly posting Shorts almost every day, as well as occasional long-form videos, on my channel, @dünya_oyuncusu. Despite this, I have not earned even a single cent from my channel to date. My videos receive thousands of views, including Shorts that have reached 30,000 views, and some of my content has become recognizable enough that people recognize me in public. However, I have not been able to generate any income from my channel.
I believe YouTube is earning money from advertisements displayed on my channel's content while I, as the content creator, have not received any payment. The monetization feature has never been enabled on my channel, and I have never received any violation notice, warning, or explanation regarding this issue. I have contacted YouTube and sent emails about this matter several times, but I have never received a response. Despite consistently putting in significant effort to create content and achieving substantial view counts, I believe this situation is extremely unfair.
I am also a person with an 80% disability and am unable to work, and creating content on YouTube has become both a hobby and an activity into which I put significant effort. After years of earning nothing and not receiving even a single explanation regarding my question, this situation has been emotionally and financially difficult for me. People assume that I am financially well-off simply because I am a “YouTuber,” but the reality is completely different. Knowing that I have not earned a single cent from the system has been extremely disappointing.
I request that YouTube conduct a detailed review of why monetization has not been enabled for my @dünya_oyuncusu channel and clearly explain to me in writing why I have not received any payments despite advertisements being displayed over the years. If my channel meets the eligibility requirements, I request that monetization be enabled. If it does not, I want YouTube to clearly explain the specific reasons why my channel was not approved and which eligibility requirements I do not meet.
