Confidence scoring

How accurate is the monetization checker?
The checker uses multiple public YouTube signals such as ad indicators, channel details, video status, and eligibility clues. Results are best treated as a high-confidence estimate because YouTube does not expose a public official monetization flag.
Can I check a YouTube channel instead of a video?
Yes. Paste a channel URL such as youtube.com/@channelname and the checker can analyze the channel with available public signals and recent video data.
What does Likely Monetized mean?
Likely Monetized means strong monetization signals were found, but not every signal could be confirmed. This can happen when some YouTube API responses are limited or unavailable.
Why is the result Unknown for some videos?
Some videos return too few public signals to make a confident call. This can happen with new uploads, private or unavailable videos, regional limits, or videos where YouTube returns restricted data.
