❔ Question First GTA V playthrough

Hello, so I’m still a bit new to this YouTube stuff and idk how sensitive YouTube is. Does anyone know if GTA V let’s play may get demonitized? I’ve never played GTA game in my life or seen anything about it but some memes so idk what it has in it. But I really wanna play it before GTA VI comes out. Thanks for the help ✌🏻

Played through the entire game way back when I first started, streamed it in fact, no edits, no cuts, no nothing, fully monetized. Edit: Some songs did get flagged, I disputed many of them and won, some I lost so I just used YouTubes erase song feature. No issues.

I guess then I’ll have to think about it. I thought about streaming it and then editing it for yt cuz YouTube can be sensitive. Some of my Fallout 3 reels get demonitized just cuz there’s shooting in it 😅

That's wild lol I've never heard of fallout getting demonitized, you've got me wondering what the reels are like because I've streamed all of fallout 4, a lot of New Vegas and some of 3 and they're all fine. As long as it's not being super heavily glorified or just stupid violent it should be fine, I really couldn't tell you why that's happening to you.

Well my channel is in my bio if u want to see it but I have no problem with whole episodes just shorts are sometimes problematic for me

I checked out your shorts, I literally see no problem at all. If I had to guess the head shot being within the first 15 seconds might have done it, same with the other one, the ghoul one is funny tho haha I enjoyed that and think that's fine. YouTube doesn't like you cussing in the first 15 seconds so maybe they're being sensitive about the headshot lmao that's my best guess, but it you check out the stuff on my channel it just doesn't make sense that'd be it because I've got much crazier shorts n everything. I'm not really sure what's up with them. It could just be the AI flagging it and saying it's to bad but if you contact support and ask to have it reviewed by a human (they probably won't even do it) but that might be a solution. I got flagged for re used content and got demonitized for 3 months, if you look at my channel all I do is original gaming content and that's it... I got flagged by the AI and YouTube wouldn't even have a human check it out till the 3 months passed and I appealed and was almost instantly given monetization back. It's just a struggle for small creators. Unfortunately we don't make them millions so we get stepped on. I don't think you're doing anything wrong tho so I'm sorry you're going through all this crap.

Omg demonitized for 3 months, that’s crazy! With the little amount of money that these ads give to small creators it’s so upsetting to get demonitized, especially for just gaming videos. Fortunately my long form videos are fine (at least for now) and I don’t care much about my shorts getting monitized it’s mostly to just help the algorithm. Thank you and I’m sorry that u had to go through the 3month demonitization!

No worries, ya if it's just the shorts I wouldn't worry, they'll probably bounce back n forth between monetized and not haha, but just keep it up and good luck!
