UPDATE: 08/20/2019
The fuck twits at YouTube are up to their old shenanigans again. I have had over 10 videos recently flagged as “Not suitable for most advertisers”. Four of them were “confirmed” as “Not suitable for most advertisers”.
I have a new policy with regards to these videos flagged as “Not suitable for most advertisers”. I now delete all of these videos from YouTube. I now upload them on my own content delivery network and make them available here on my website AnetComputers.com.
I have noticed that this occurs on a yearly basis. In the summer of 2018 the scumbags at YouTube flagged a handful of videos as “Not suitable for most advertisers”. I have had a total of 16 totals videos that I have deleted from Youtube and hosted on my own website.
Two of those videos received strikes and not flagged as “Not suitable for most advertisers”. Also, I fucked up and did not download them before I appealed the strikes attributed to them. As of this update in 2019, I have a total of 14 videos hosted on my own content delivery network that were originally hosted on YouTube but were confirmed as “Not suitable for most advertisers”.
Every summer now Youtube starts flagging older videos with their bullshit “Not suitable for most advertisers”. I go ahead and have them manually reviewed. Most times these videos are then once again approved for monetization and the dumb shit yellow icon disappears and the proverbial green icon reappears. Also, I have noticed that any of my videos flagged permanently as “Not suitable for most advertisers” never receive any more views.
The view counts on these videos do NOT change. I think this is all by design to possibly censor certain YouTube content creators. Also, this could intentionally make it difficult for new and or smaller Youtube content creators to keep making content.
After all, why the fuck upload content to Youtube if it is not suitable for most advertisers. I guess for some content creators, Youtube is just a hobby. For many others, they rely on the income generated from their Youtube videos to a certain extent.
The video at the top of this blog post titled “Youtube ad Monetization – Not Suitable For Most Advertisers” was also confirmed as “Not suitable for most advertisers” after a manual review, shortly after I uploaded it to Youtube.
I recently uploaded two Youtube videos to my Anet Computers channel about Coffee Lake Intel core i7 processors and PS4 Can t Connect to Internet Fix CE-33992-6 Error Nobunaga 5. These two videos Youtube ad Monetization is disabled. Both videos received a “Not suitable for most advertisers” message.
However, Youtube has a policy where if your video does not reach one thousand views within a week they will not review it. Also, Youtube claims they are back logged with videos to review, so they won’t review your video until seven calendar days. This past May I noticed a video that was not monetized with this same message.
That was my first ever video that was not monetized. Now I have a total of six videos that are not suitable for most advertisers. Obviously, Youtube’s algorithm is going back and flagging some of my older videos.
I went ahead and requested manual reviews for all six of these videos. However, unless these videos receive a thousand views or more within a week, then they may never get reviewed. You see I run a smaller Youtube channel.
Some of my videos have received over two hundred thousand views a piece. However, many of my videos do NOT receive one thousand views. Youtube claims that these not suitable for most advertisers may receive some revenue if not no revenue.
These videos may still receive revenue from Youtube red subscribers. However, I think I have made less than twenty dollars over my channel’s life time in Youtube red revenue. The video about Intel core i7 processors made a whopping two cents before it must have been demonitized.
The other coffee lake video was made too soon. It generally takes Youtube two to three days for their analytics data to show up for newly created videos. My solution as of now is to just delete those videos that were not suitable for most advertisers and see if they get monetized this time.
As far as those older videos that were demonitized, since they didn’t receive that many views to begin with I might just leave them demonetized. You see I use search engine optimization for all my videos.
I do NOT rely on my subscribers for view counts. Since two of these videos were created in the past two days, I will remake them and hopefully they get monetized. That way if they go more viral and receive thousands of views, then I get compensated for my creations.
I am not the only Youtube content creator that has noticed Youtube ad monetization not suitable for most advertisers messages. Another solution I have is that I have started using other video platforms. Currently, I have DailyMotion and Vid.me channels.
They don’t pay out anywhere near what Youtube does. However, I can possibly supplement some of my income I am losing from Youtube’s constant shannigans. A third solution is to start getting support via other video platforms that offer monetization and Patreon.

John,
Yes, when I re-made those videos I was able to get them monetized. However, in the last eight days, I have had six total videos flagged as not suitable for most advertisers. Two of them, I was able to get monetized by requesting a review and disabling the subtitles/closed captioning.
The last two videos I had to upload a blank thumbnail in order to get them monetized. However, one of those videos with a blank thumbnail now went back to “Not suitable for most advertisers” status. Also, just like you I have noticed some older videos being flagged as not suitable for most advertisers.
Luckily, there are only four or five videos not monetized and those videos did not receive that many views. However, this problem is getting worse as six videos were flagged in the past eight days.
