Video removal on YouTube, specifically the act of eliminating previously uploaded content, can have implications for channel revenue. The consequences are not always direct or immediate but are linked to the overall health and eligibility of the channel for generating income.
A channel’s eligibility to earn revenue hinges on various factors, including adherence to YouTube’s Partner Program policies, copyright regulations, and community guidelines. Historical performance, engagement metrics, and watch time all contribute to a channel’s monetization status. Deleting content impacts these metrics and therefore can have an adverse effect.
