Will YouTube monetize your channel?
Paste a link to your channel or one of its videos. We read your last 10 videos and check them against the monetization policies YouTube publishes, the way a reviewer would.

What we check, and where it comes from
Three areas from YouTube's own monetization policies. Each finding in your report points to the videos it comes from.
Repetitive or mass-produced content
Scripts, openings and structures that repeat from video to video with only a name or number changing, and templated videos published many times a day. A shared title format for a series is fine on its own.
Reused content
Clips, compilations and re-uploads of other people's material without enough of your own commentary or changes, and footage with little narration over it.
Original value
Whether the narration says something specific, informative or genuinely entertaining, with your own angle, or reads as generic filler.
How it works
- 1
Paste a link
Your channel, a @handle, or any of its videos.
- 2
We read your last 10 videos
Their titles, lengths, dates and descriptions, and what is said in them, from captions or the first minute of audio.
- 3
You get a report
The risk in each area, the videos that show it, and what to change.
What we never do
- Ask you to sign in or connect your channel.
- Keep your videos, their words or their descriptions: we keep only the report, so you can share it.
- Pretend to be YouTube. We're not affiliated with YouTube; its reviewers make the decision.
- Guess at what we can't see: we can't see your pictures, thumbnails or YouTube Studio settings, and the report says so.
Questions about the checker
Is this an official YouTube tool?
No. It's a free tool from Clip-Short, not affiliated with YouTube. It checks your videos against the monetization policies YouTube publishes, and links to them, but only YouTube's reviewers decide.
Can it guarantee my channel will be monetized?
No, and no tool can. YouTube's reviewers look at your channel as a whole, including things we can't see from outside, like your thumbnails and watch time. Use the report to find and fix what a reviewer is likely to notice.
Why only the last 10 videos?
Reviewers look at your most recent videos first, and ten is enough to see patterns like templated scripts. If your channel changed recently, your latest videos are what count.
What happens to my videos?
We read their titles, descriptions and captions, or listen to their first minute, to write the report, and then let them go. We keep the report (the scores, what we found, and the titles of the videos we checked) so its link keeps working.
Are videos made with AI allowed?
Yes. YouTube pays for AI-assisted videos that are original and valuable, and asks you to label realistic synthetic content. What it doesn't pay for is repetitive, mass-produced or reused content, AI or not.
