YouTube recently announced changes to the content tab in studio and you had some really legitimate questions. I'm Rene Ritchie, a long-time creator working inside YouTube and here's what's up. So, where did the green and yellow dollar sign monetization status icons actually go? Well, historically the green and yellow dollar sign icons indicated only ads and premium monetization status and weren't comprehensive about all the revenue streams for any given video. YouTube heard feedback that creators would like to understand in detail how different restrictions might be impacting each video's earnings. So, to make things simpler, YouTube replaced the previous icons with a notice-based system that highlights specific impacts for each video, such as limited ad earnings, no ad earnings, or sharing ad earnings. YouTube also added a new estimated revenue column so that we can see a direct snapshot of each video's earnings at any given point in time. Next, has YouTube's policy on limited or no ads changed? Why are creators only now seeing that a video has no ads? Well, the content tab redesign was initially in direct response to creator feedback calling for clarity on video restrictions and how they impact revenue. Limited ad status means that brands who have opted into only running ads on safer content will not be running ads on that video. If a video has limited ads, a creator should expect to see lower ad revenue from that video compared to videos that are suitable for all advertisers as a direct result of fewer advertisers choosing to run on that video. No ad status means that this video is not eligible to run ads as per YouTube's advertiser-friendly content guidelines and will not earn ads revenue, although it may be suitable for other revenue streams. Next, what happened to the likes-dislikes ratio and where can I find this information now? Well, in order to simplify the content tab and make it easier to see the most important alerts on each video, YouTube moved some information off the main content page, including the likes-dislikes ratio. Now, you can still find this information on a video by hovering over the video in the content tab list, selecting the analytics icon, and then selecting the engagement tab. And of course, you can also find it in advanced analytics. Creators can also go to Ask Studio if we want deeper insights on the likes and dislikes on a video. Just ask a question in plain language, and Ask Studio will give you a detailed answer. Thanks for watching. I'd love to know your thoughts and questions in the comments.
