| YouTube Shorts Views Do Not Count for YouTube Monetization: eAskme |
YouTube Partner Program allows channels to monetize their content if they fulfill all the requirements.
Your channel must have 1000+ subscribers and 4000-hour watch time, excluding YouTube Shorts.
All the watch time should come from regular videos on your channel.
YouTube has answered about this in their YouTube’s Creator Insider Channel.
Here is what they have said about YouTube watch time.
Shorts Views Count in 4000 hours of watch-time or not?
Not only you, but many others are looking for the answer to this question if YouTube counts Shorts views toward 4000 hours watch time requirement.
