I had a small problem with monetisation for this most recent video as it was under review for 2 days without
monetisation, they are usually monetised instantly. I spent quite a while trying to sort it but YouTube
personal customer service is not existent. The most predominant recommendation
I found was to go on Firefox, remove monetisation then re-instate it. I tried
this but it did not work after many attempts. To see if there was a problem
with my account, I uploaded a load of videos including the same one as I had
the problem with. They were all monetised instantly which was good and proved
there wasn’t a problem with the account.
Eventually I tried making the problematic video very similar
to the identical re-uploaded video that monetised instantly. I removed all the
tags and the video description. I then removed the monetisation and waited 5
minutes, and then I re-instated the monetisation and closed Firefox. I opened
it about 5 minutes later and it was monetised! Just replaced the description
and tags and done job, just cost me about 30,000 un-monetised views.
