May Take Up to A Week To Update – Youtube Delay Issue and Solution

Youtube constantly updates their platform and the way the algorithm operates. The recent update quickly showed especially to vendors in the business of social media monetization the disparity between Youtube channels. Yes, there are currently two types of Youtube channels, the ones that will update watch hours within 24 to 48 hours and the problematic ones that will take a week or more to update.

How to differentiate Youtube Channels for Quick Watch Hours Update.

Youtube has been very open with this information. It is very easy to know if your channel takes a week to update or takes just a couple of hours. Go to Youtube studio, then navigate to the Earn page, right under ELIGIBILITY, you may see a message like this – “may take up to a week to update”. This means that your channel is one of those that will require some patience to update or move watch hours from the dashboard to the Earn page and then activate monetization. See diagram below.

 

On the other hand, if your channel updates watch hours faster, you will not find such message or any message for that matter in that space as you can see in the picture below.

 

Why is this an Issue for watch hour vendors?

If you are planning to buy watch hours for monetization, you are probably going to be buying monetization activation watch hours. These type of watch hours as the name implies only allow you to monetize and after you must have achieved monetization, they will drop. A couple of months ago, this would not be a problem because Youtube updates at the time allows these types of watch hours to last up to a month, so even though you have a channel that will take a week to update, you will have the watch hours intact until you can monetize. These days these types of watch hours typically last five days, just enough time to update watch hours to the earn page, apply for monetization, get reviewed and approved. You can now see why this is not possible with a channel that will need a week to update every new watch hours before you can apply for monetization.

What is the solution?

If you have a channel that takes a week to update, you may discover that whenever you buy watch hours, you will lose the watch hours even before you are able to apply and in some cases, you may be lucky enough to apply but will not get a response from the youtube team before you lose your watch hours., and then you will need to buy a new set of watch hours. Please stop going around in this circle.
