How to check whether your channel is eligible for monetization

If you monetize on Gan Jing World, your channel must follow our Terms of Use, Community Guidelines, and Monetization Policy. Monetization eligibility is not determined by any one factor alone. When we review a channel, we may consider the overall channel experience, including the types of content you publish, how original and authentic that content is, and whether your channel complies with our monetization rules.

These policies apply to creators who are already monetizing on Gan Jing World, as well as creators who are applying or looking to apply for monetization. Depending on the monetization feature you use, you may also need to follow additional program-specific terms, including the Content Monetization Terms and Monetized Products Terms.

Below is a general overview of the main monetization requirements. Please read each policy carefully, as these policies are used to assess whether a channel is suitable for monetization. Our reviewers may also continue to review monetizing channels to determine whether they remain in compliance with these requirements.

Community Guidelines

All content on Gan Jing World must follow our Community Guidelines. This includes rules on user safety, intellectual property, authenticity, and other platform standards.

If content on your channel does not comply with our Community Guidelines, your monetization eligibility may be limited, suspended, or removed.

Rights Issues

To monetize content, you must have the rights necessary to use and monetize that content on Gan Jing World.

Your channel may have monetization issues if some content:

  • does not have all necessary rights for use or monetization
  • is subject to copyright or other rights concerns
  • is reported to Gan Jing World as infringing or unlawful
  • includes third-party material without sufficient authorization

Reused Content

To monetize on Gan Jing World, content should be clearly original to the channel, or should include a meaningful original contribution by the creator.

Content that is unoriginal or reproduced without meaningful enhancements, such as commentary, parody, or creative editing, cannot be monetized.

Your channel may have monetization issues if content is not clearly original to the channel or is reproduced from other sources without meaningful enhancements.

Examples that may raise monetization concerns include:

  • reuploaded videos from other creators
  • compilations of third-party clips with little or no original input
  • reused footage with only minor edits such as trimming, filters, subtitles, or transitions
  • content that does not clearly show your own creative contribution

Inauthentic or Repetitive Content

Creators should share authentic content and monetize content consumed by a natural, authentic audience.

Your channel may have monetization issues if it contains content that appears mass-produced, highly repetitive, or primarily intended to increase views or engagement without clear original contribution.

Examples that may raise monetization concerns include:

  • content produced at scale with little variation or creator input
  • videos that repeat the same format, script, or structure with minimal meaningful difference
  • content that appears designed mainly to generate traffic or engagement rather than provide meaningful original contribution
  • channel activity that appears repetitive, low-value, or not clearly original

Content that is repetitive, templated, or produced in ways that do not add meaningful original value may not be suitable for monetization.

Authentic Engagement

Creators can only monetize content consumed by a natural, authentic audience.

Your channel may have monetization issues if it involves:

  • artificially boosted views, follows, or engagement
  • coordinated or manufactured sharing intended to inflate reach
  • engagement bait or content designed mainly to trigger clicks, likes, comments, or shares
  • other behavior primarily intended to increase monetization without authentic audience interest

What we review when we assess a channel

When reviewing a channel for monetization eligibility, we may assess the parts of the channel that best represent it. Since reviewers may not check every video, they may focus on:

  • your channel’s main theme
  • your most-viewed videos
  • your newest videos
  • the content responsible for the biggest share of watch time
  • metadata such as titles, thumbnails, and descriptions

This means monetization review is based on the overall channel experience, not only on one video.

What can happen if your channel does not meet monetization requirements

If our review determines that a channel does not currently meet Gan Jing World’s monetization policies, monetization may be paused, limited, suspended, or disabled.

Depending on the issue, Gan Jing World may take actions such as:

  • withholding or adjusting revenue or payment
  • limiting ad revenue earned by content
  • suspending participation in a monetization program
  • suspending or terminating channel monetization
  • taking action under the Terms of Use, Community Guidelines, Monetization Policy, or applicable program terms

Unpaid earnings may also be withheld in accordance with Gan Jing World’s monetization terms and applicable policies.

If monetization is paused

If our review determines that your channel does not currently meet Gan Jing World’s monetization policies, the review may identify one or more of the following issues:

  • Community Guidelines
  • Rights Issues
  • Reused content
  • Inauthentic or repetitive content

If you believe the decision was incorrect

If you believe a monetization decision was incorrect, you may submit an appeal form to provide additional information about your channel and content.

When submitting an appeal, it may help to explain:

  • what changes you made
  • which videos were removed, replaced, or updated
  • how your current content is original
  • how your channel now complies with Gan Jing World’s monetization requirements

Our team will review your appeal and notify you once a decision has been made.

If you want to improve your channel before applying again

You may also choose to make changes to your channel before seeking monetization again.

This may include:

  • editing or deleting videos
  • improving content originality
  • reducing repetitive or low-value uploads
  • addressing rights-related concerns
  • updating titles, thumbnails, descriptions, or other video details to better align with our monetization policies

Best practices to maintain monetization eligibility

  • publish original, creator-led content
  • make sure you have the necessary rights to use and monetize your content
  • avoid reused, repetitive, or low-value uploads
  • build your audience through authentic engagement
