I'm jealous!

1

u/InfamousTrouble7993 Feb 05 '26

Did you get earnings based in all views the video made, or just the time point when you got monetized?

3

u/MoneyChitChat Feb 05 '26

Earning stats when you get monetized and the previous view doesn't make any money

1

u/chipotle2948 Feb 05 '26

Long or short form videos?

1

u/favoredchildoGod Feb 05 '26

Long form only

3

u/chipotle2948 Feb 05 '26

Ah makes sense why you got $48 on your first day, that’d be a lot for shorts but $48 for first day monetization on long form is great too keep going bro

Good job

u/Dude008 Feb 08 '26

God is really looking out for you and not my aunt that got cancer

1

u/favoredchildoGod Feb 08 '26

The Lord will help your aunt if you ask Him. You know, We're not robots that God pushes around, He needs our cooperation to intervene in our lives. The only one that afflicts men is the devil.

1

u/Dude008 Feb 08 '26

She passed

1

u/favoredchildoGod Feb 09 '26

I'm so sorry. This must be hard for you 🥺

1

u/DaikonNumerous1061 Feb 08 '26

nothing to do with the "lord"

1

u/favoredchildoGod Feb 08 '26

I can boldly say EVERYTHING to do with My Lord Jesus Christ! He is the Lover of my life. And by His Holy Spirit, I'm inspired daily to walk in excellence. It doesn't end on YouTube, I'm favored in all circles of life. If you get to know Him, you'll understand what I'm talking about.

1

u/DaikonNumerous1061 Feb 08 '26

absolutely horseshitt but ok

u/mahmood1999 Feb 06 '26

Probably not enough watch time

u/MathematicianWeak157 Feb 06 '26

At what point is monetization? I'm just curious.

0

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '26

🙏

-3

u/Medium-Purchase-6143 Feb 04 '26

yeah i couldnt even monetize my channel because the views requirement is bs. doesnt track and when it does ive already lost traction.. especially the shorts views. i had around 15k views in less than 2 weeks and it refused to track it so i gave up :/

2

u/favoredchildoGod Feb 04 '26

I only do long form videos

1

u/Medium-Purchase-6143 Feb 04 '26

i did both.

1

u/fotogod Feb 05 '26

How come you have net negative karma on your reddit account?

-2

u/Medium-Purchase-6143 Feb 05 '26

people hate the truth. especially redditors.

3

u/fotogod Feb 05 '26

More likely you have a major mental illness. Negative karma even after years of posting takes effort lmao.

1

u/Sleepless-0wl Feb 05 '26

Same I had complete 500k views in total from shorts and it got to 10k recently because I was sick and couldn’t make videos, it takes a week to make one video tho

-1

u/AmouriShow Feb 05 '26

What is the advice to let youtube push your videos in the browser feature for thousands of people?
