In the vast world of YouTube, where creators share their content and build communities, monetization plays a crucial role. Monetizing a YouTube channel allows creators to earn revenue from their videos through ads. If you’re curious about whether a specific YouTube channel is monetized or not, you’ve come to the right place. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the various methods you can use to check if a YouTube channel is monetized.
Method 1: YouTube Super Thanks
Yes, having YouTube Super Thanks enabled mean that a channel is monetized. YouTube Super Thanks is a feature that allows viewers to show their appreciation for creators by donating a small amount of money. This feature is available to all channels that are part of the YouTube Partner Program.
