It provides a step-by-step solution to regain monetization by fixing the main offending channel within 90 days. ### Key Points - **New Policy: All Channels Affected** [00:06] — If one channel gets monetization turned off due to reused content, all other linked channels also get their monetization disabled. - **Common Scenario** [01:03] — Many creators have multiple channels; a mistake on one (using others' content) leads to all channels being demonetized, even without copyright strikes. - **Reason: Suspended due to related channel** [02:06] — The notice says 'suspended due to related channel', meaning the main channel's issue affects all linked channels. - **Solution: Fix the Main Channel** [02:22] — To restore monetization on all channels, you must resolve the issue on the main channel (the one with reused content). - **90-Day Window** [02:36] — You have 90 days to delete all videos with reused content from the main channel. Deleting them reduces watch time and views. - **Upload Original Content** [02:52] — During the 90 days, upload original content on the main channel to rebuild watch time and views. - **Re-apply for Monetization** [03:07] — After 90 days, if you have 4000 hours of watch time (or 10 million short views) from original content within the last 365 days, you can re-apply. - **All Channels Restored** [03:49] — If YouTube approves the main channel, all linked channels get monetization back automatically. ### Conclusion The key takeaway is to fix the main channel's reused content issue within 90 days; once that channel is monetized again, all linked channels will follow. ## Transcript mean, you had three channels on YouTube, you made a mistake on one channel and useless content came, well its monetization got turned off, well the monetization of the remaining two channels also got turned off, so brother, this is happening, right? Yes, yes brother, if useless content comes on one channel, then the monetization of all your other channels will be turned off, brother, a new policy has come, friend, I keep making so many videos about the policies, why don't you watch it? Now let me tell you the solution brother. Let me tell you also. You should also listen because this is happening a lot these days brother. So brother, I do one thing, I make a proper video on this. I will send you the link on WhatsApp. You should also see it and our audience, brother, will also come to know about this new policy. So look friend, these days I am really getting a lot of such calls that sir we had three channels. Channel One, Channel Two, Channel Three. We really made a mistake on one channel. We had used other's content and brother, reused content also came and the monetization of our channel was turned off. But while we are watching the remaining two channels, they have also been switched off. So in today's video we will talk about this. What is the policy and what is its solution? If your monetization has been turned off for all the channels, then I am going to watch the video completely so that you do not face any problem. If you like it, please like it too. Please as I always make such videos for you. Look, let me explain with an example. Like your channels were Channel One, Channel Two and Channel Three. This was your main channel or maybe channel three was your main or maybe channel two was your main. Now let us understand for example. Your channel was one main channel. The remaining two channels were yours. You used other people's content on this channel. Even if you did not receive any copyright strike. Many not even receive a copyright strike. So even though you did not get a copyright strike, but you used others' content very well, so you got reused content on Channel One and its monetization got disabled, so the remaining two channels, their monetization also gets disabled, nowadays this policy has come and you know what will be written on it, it will be written that brother, suspended due to related channel, now what is its solution, now the question is that whatever problem you had on Channel One, which was your main channel, you will have to get this problem solved from the same. Channel two and three will be solved automatically because they were linked to it. What can you do now? This Channel One has ruse content on it. So now you will get 90 days time. What you have to do within 90 days is that you will have to delete all the videos on this Channel One in which you have used other's content. And if they delete it, their watch time and views will also be minus. Now you have time for 90 days. For 90 days, you should upload your original content on this Channel One and whatever watch time you are getting on it and if yours is a short channel then the views you are getting on short, is a short channel then the views you are getting on short, re-applying, at that time if you have uploaded your original content on Channel One because the first one has been deleted. If you complete 4000 hours of watch time from that content within the last 365 days, then If you complete 4000 hours of watch time from that content within the last 365 days, then You can re-apply. And the same is the case with SSH, if you complete 10 million short views on your original content within 90 days then you can re-apply. And when you re-apply for Channel One and at that time if the YouTube team feels that yes brother, now there is original content on their channel. There is no ruse content and they have also completed the eligibility criteria for monetization through that content. So the views from this channel will be removed and this channel will be monetized again and the remaining channels two and three will also be monetized because they had got into trouble because of this. So This is Channel One, in which the main problem was that you have to solve its problem. Only then will problem was that you have to solve its problem. Only then will it works. So whenever this happens to you, do not panic. Solve the problem of the previous channel. Then these two will also get corrected automatically. So this is how the policy is working nowadays. If this has happened to any of your friends, then tell him that this is the matter and write your opinion about it in the comments. See you in the next video with a new topic. Till then Jai Hind.
