For years one of the biggest issues on YouTube was the unclear reasons for demonetization or limited monetization (yellow icon). In June of 2024, YouTube creators posted on twitter that there would be an update which would share timestamps on where a video violated policy which led to a demonetization.

At the time of this announcement it was only available to creators who use the Self Certification workflow.

This is a big upgrade for YouTube because one of the biggest issues with demonetization is that YouTubers never knew what they did to receive the demonetization; they would just guess, edit something out, reupload, and try again. This will remove that guess work and allow you to know exactly what caused the demonetization so that you can correct it and upload a new version of the video if you want.
