YouTube has just announced some major changes to its video monetisation policy, which will allow the company to run ads on all video content. However, it will only pay creators who have qualified for the YouTube Partner Programme (YPP). Understandably, creators are pissed.
A recent update to YouTube’s term’s of service, particularly regarding the company’s “right to monetise,” has ruffled a few feathers.
“Starting today we’ll begin slowly rolling out ads on a limited number of videos from channels not in YouTube Partner Program,” the company said in a statement.
“This means as a creator that’s not in YPP, you may see ads on some of your videos. Since you’re not currently in YPP, you won’t receive a share of the revenue from these ads.”
Charlie Bit My Finger Will Be Deleted From YouTube After NFT Sells For $760,000
The viral video picked up more than 880 million views, but now it s going away.
The famous viral video Charlie Bit My Finger is being deleted from the internet as its owners sold the video as a non-fungible token (NFT) for more than $760,000.
The user mememaster opened the bidding at $99,999, and after a series of increases, someone with the username 3fmusic paid $760,999 to purchase the video as an NFT. The video itself remains available on YouTube, but it s been unlisted. Presumably there is a holding period for now before it s deleted forever and always.
The sale of the 2007 YouTube video marks yet another creator breaking into the non-fungible token (NFT) space and profiting off of early viral content.
