YouTube drops ads on videos with less than 10,000 views
The video-hosting service, owned by Google, announced the changes in a blog post, saying the new view-count threshold gives YouTube enough information to ensure that creators who collect money from their content are following the site’s guidelines and advertising policies.
The company has algorithms that can detect copyright infringement and YouTube recently improved processes to allow users to report channels that impersonate other content creators.
Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens, research director at George Washington University’s program on extremism, said the most extremist videos are now found largely through encrypted apps or on third-party download sites — not YouTube.
