The YouTube Partnership Program (YPP) has implemented a number of changes to its appeal process.
In a video by YouTube’s Creator Insider, the platform detailed these changes, which were implemented on July 31. In short, the biggest change for creators is that they can appeal suspensions from the YouTube Partnership Program. They can do this for seven days before the ban takes effect.
Lauren, a YouTube Program Manager, said that “the goal is to provide our reviewers with more information about your channel, while creating minimal or no disruption to your monetization status.”
What are the YouTube Partnership Program appeal scenarios?
As mentioned, creators will be able to appeal during this seven-day period. There will be no suspension during the appeal review process. If this appeal is rejected, the channel in question will be demonetized from the YPP.
In addition, the creator will not be allowed to make any subsequent appeals but will be allowed to re-apply for the YPP after 90 days.
If a creator does not issue an appeal during this seven-day period, suspension will occur.
What other changes are being made?
YouTube also announced that it was making a number of changes to the channel home tab. The tab will be removed from creators who have not modified the tab, have less than 10 public videos, and haven’t published more than one content type.
Lauren also said that YouTube merged the branding and basic information pages on YouTube to a single tab named ‘Profile.’ Meanwhile, YouTube’s ‘Layout’ tab has been renamed the ‘Home’ tab.
