If you’re monetizing on Yapit, it’s important that your showcase follows Yapit monetization policies. These include policies described below, as well as Yapit’s Community Guidelines, Terms of Service, Copyright, Rights Clearance Adjustment policies, and Yapit Ads and rewards program policies.
These policies apply to anyone in, or looking to apply to, the Yapit Partner Program. The Yapit video monetization policies also apply if you’re monetizing Shorts on Yapit.
All content monetizing with ads must follow our advertiser-friendly content guidelines. To earn revenue from brand sponsorship first time users must accept and get approved to the Brand Sponsorship Program (BSP). You must also follow the Brand Sponsorship monetization policies when monetizing.
Here’s a quick overview of each major policy. Make sure you read each policy thoroughly, as these policies are used to check if a Showcase / channel is suitable to monetize. Our reviewers regularly check to see whether monetizing showcases follow these policies.
What we check when we review your showcase
Our reviewers check content that best represents your showcases against our policies. Since our reviewers can’t check every content, they may focus on your showcase:
● Main theme
● Most viewed content
● Newest content
● Biggest proportion of watch time
● Content metadata (including titles, thumbnails, and descriptions)
The above are just examples of content our reviewers may assess. Note that our reviewers can and may check other parts of your showcase to see whether it fully meets our policies.
Creators Responsibility
The success of your showcase and the Yapit Partner Program is dependent upon the willingness of advertisers to associate their brands with Yapit content. The earnings of all Yapit creators are negatively impacted when advertisers lose trust.
We don’t allow egregious behavior that has a large negative impact on the community. This policy means you should be respectful of your viewers, your fellow creators, and our advertisers -- both on and off Yapit.
If you violate this policy, we may temporarily turn off your monetization or terminate your accounts. This may apply to all your existing showcases, any new showcases you create, and showcases that you appear on regularly.
If any of your showcases have been demonetized or terminated, you should not create new (or use existing) showcases to get around these restrictions or apply to another’s with related showcases during your suspension period. Doing so could lead to termination of all showcases.
Protect the Yapit community:
As a Yapit influencer / creator, you should remain responsible both on and off the platform. If we see that a creator’s on- and/or off-platform behavior harms our users, community, employees, or ecosystem, we may take action to protect the community.
Beyond the content you upload to Yapit, here are some examples of on- and/or off-platform behavior that we may consider to be inappropriate and result in penalties:
Intending to cause malicious harm to others.
Participating in abuse or violence, demonstrating cruelty, or participating in fraudulent or deceptive behavior that leads to real-world harm.
While these behaviors are rare, they can cause widespread harm to the Yapit community, and potentially damage the trust among creators, users, and advertisers.
Severe violations that cause widespread harm to the community may have repercussions beyond standard enforcement actions. These restrictions may include:
Yapit Originals and Yapit Spaces experiences: Yapit Originals may be suspended, cancelled, or removed, and you may lose access to Yapit Pop-up Spaces and virtual gatherings.
Monetization, partner management, and promotional opportunities: Your showcase may lose the ability to serve ads, earn revenue, and potentially be removed from the Yapit Partner Program, including losing access to partner management and creator support. Access to Studio Content Manager may be lost, as well. You may also be removed from Yapit Select Lineups.
Creators Integrity
We expect creators in the Yapit Partner Program to be who they say they are and not misrepresent themselves by manipulating their on-platform activity or engaging in deceptive practices.
This means creators should not artificially inflate a showcase’s engagement, such as views, subs, likes, watch time, and ad impressions. Similarly, creators should not encourage organic engagement on non-compliant content before deleting or obfuscating that content for the purpose of becoming eligible for the Yapit Partner Program. Engaging in this type of behavior may result in removal from the Yapit Partner Program or termination of your showcases.
Creators should also not mislead users or Yapit by participating in financially abusive behaviors, such as using our monetization features for illegal, fraudulent, or deceptive transactions. If you violate this policy, we may remove you from the Yapit Partner Program or terminate your showcases.
Yapit Partner Program overview & eligibility:
The Yapit Partner Program gives creators greater access to Yapit resources and monetization features, and access to our Creator Support teams. It also allows revenue sharing from ads being served on your content. Learn more about the features, eligibility criteria, and application details in this article.
What you need to join
Follow the Yapit showcase monetization policies.
These are a collection of policies and guidelines that allow you to monetize on Yapit, and compliance with them is required when you accept a partner agreement with Yapit.
Live in a country/region where the Yapit Partner Program is available.
Have no active Community Guidelines strikes on your showcase.
Have advanced features access on Yapit.

More on eligibility thresholds
These thresholds help us make a more informed decision about whether your showcase meets our policies and guidelines. Once you apply, your showcase will go through a standard review process to see whether your showcase meets our policies and guidelines. If it meets our policies and guidelines, we’ll accept your showcase. Keep in mind we continuously check showcases to make sure they continue to meet our policies and guidelines over time.
Ad Program Policy
Ads allow Yapit partners to get paid for monetizing their content. Make sure to follow the AdSense program policies and Yapit’s Terms of Service. Ads content policies are extensive and include quality guidelines policies. We’ve highlighted some of the most relevant policies for Yapit creators below.
Repetitious content
Repetitious content refers to showcases where the content is so similar, viewers may have trouble spotting the difference between content on the same showcase.
This policy applies to your showcase as a whole. In other words, if you have many contents that violate our guidelines, monetization may be removed from your entire showcase.
What is allowed to monetize?
This policy makes sure monetized content offers viewers something appealing and interesting to watch. In other words, if the average viewer can clearly tell that content on your showcase differs from content to content, it's fine to monetize. We know many showcases create content that follows a similar pattern. What’s important is that the substance of each content should be relatively varied.
Examples of what is allowed to monetize (including but not limited to):
● Same intro and outro for your content, but the bulk of your content is different.
● Similar content, where each content talks specifically about the qualities of the subject you’re featuring.
● Content clips of similar objects edited together where you explain how they’re connected.
Content that violates this guideline
When a showcase’s content consists of similar content, it can frustrate viewers who come to Yapit for appealing and interesting content. That means showcases where content is only slightly different from content to content are not allowed to monetize. In other words, your showcase shouldn’t consist of content that’s automatically created or produced using a basic template.
Examples of what’s not allowed to monetize (this list is not exhaustive):
● Content that exclusively features readings of other materials you did not originally create, like text from websites or news feeds.
● Songs modified to change the pitch or speed, but are otherwise identical to the original
● Similar repetitive content, or mindless content with low educational value, commentary, or narrative
● Templated, mass-produced, or programmatically generated content.
● Image slideshows or scrolling text with minimal or no narrative, commentary, or educational value.
Reused content
Reused content refers to showcases that repurpose someone else's content without adding significant original commentary or educational value.
This policy applies to your showcase as a whole. In other words, if you have many videos that violate our guidelines, monetization may be removed from your entire showcase.
What is allowed to monetize?
The spirit of this policy is to make sure we’re rewarding creators for original and authentic content that adds value to viewers. If you put a funny or thoughtful spin on content you didn’t originally create, you’ve transformed the content in some way. It’s fine to have this type of content on your showcase, but individual content may be subject to other policies like copyright. In other words, we allow reused content if viewers can tell that there’s a meaningful difference between the original video and your content.
Note: While these examples do not violate the reused content monetization policy, other policies, such
as copyright, still apply.
Examples of what’s allowed to monetize (including but not limited to):
● Using clips for a critical review
● A scene from a movie where you’ve rewritten the dialog and changed the voiceover.
● Replays of a sports tournament where you explain the moves a competitor did to succeed.
● Reaction videos where you comment on the original video.
● Edited footage from other creators where you add a storyline or commentary.
● Remixed content on content where you add original content to a song from our library, or the original audio or video segment from other videos.
Content that violates this guideline
Taking someone else’s content, making minimal changes, and calling it your own original work would be a violation of this guideline. This policy applies even if you have permission from the original creator. Reused content is separate from Yapit’s Copyright enforcement, which means it’s not based on copyright, permission, or fair use. This guideline means sometimes, you may not get claims against your content, but your showcase may still violate our reused content guidelines.
More examples of what’s not allowed to monetize (this list is not exhaustive):
● Clips of moments from your favorite show edited together with little or no narrative.
● Short videos you compiled from other social media websites.
● Collections of songs from different artists (even if you have their permission)
● Content uploaded many times by other creators.
● Promotion of other people’s content (even if you have permission)
Kids Safe and Family Policy
Our aim is to provide kids and families with a safe and enriching experience on Yapit, while finding new ways to reward creators contributing high-quality content to the platform.
If your showcase has "made for kids” content, we’ll use Yapit’s quality principles for kids and family content to determine the monetization status of that content.
If a showcase is found to have a strong focus on low-quality “made for kids” content, it may be suspended from the Yapit Partner Program. If an individual video is found to violate these quality principles, it may see limited or no ads.
When checking to see if your “made for kids” content is of low or high quality, nuances and context are important. Visit our best practices for kids and family content page for guides and examples.
Application of quality principles for monetization eligibility
There are several low-quality principles that may affect the overall quality of a particular video. We will consider each principle as a factor for monetization eligibility on a rolling basis. We currently enforce against the low-quality principles for kids and family content listed below. We may increase the scope to include more quality principles over time.
Encouraging negative behaviors or attitudes: Content that encourages dangerous activities, wastefulness, bullying, dishonesty, or a lack of respect for others (e.g. dangerous/unsafe pranks, unhealthy eating habits).
Heavily commercial or promotional: Content that is primarily focused on purchasing products or promoting brands and logos (e.g., toys and food). It also includes content that is focused on excessive consumerism.
Deceptively educational: Content that claims to have educational value in its title or thumbnail, but actually lacks guidance or explanation, or is not relevant to children. For example, titles or thumbnails that promise to help viewers “learn colors” or “learn numbers,” but instead the video features inaccurate info.
Hindering comprehension: Content that is thoughtless, lacks a cohesive narrative, or is incomprehensible, such as having inaudible audio. This type of video is often the result of mass production or auto-generation.
Sensational or misleading: Content that is untrue, exaggerated, bizarre, or opinion-based, and may confuse a young audience. It might also include “keyword stuffing”, or the practice of using popular keywords of interest to children in a repetitive, altered, or exaggerated way. The keywords may also be used in a way that does not make sense.

● How we enforce Yapit monetization policies
Anyone who earns money on Yapit must follow Yapit's showcase monetization policies. If you violate any of our policies, Yapit may take the actions outlined below.
Withhold, adjust, charge back, or offset earnings or payment:
We may withhold or adjust any of your earnings and rewards associated with violations of the Yapit showcase monetization policies. We may also charge back associated earnings against any revenue balance that has not yet been disbursed or offset such amounts against future earnings payable to you.
For any such violations, we need some time to investigate whether the earnings need to be withheld, adjusted, or offset. This may result in payment delays of up to 90 days or until we’ve resolved any third-party rights disputes.
Examples of violations where we might need to withhold or adjust your earnings include (but aren’t limited to) instances of:
● Invalid traffic on your content
● Fake engagement
● Content ID claims
If your showcase is terminated or suspended from the Yapit Partner Program, you are no longer entitled to earn any revenue. Yapit may also withhold earnings and refund advertisers or viewers for purchases where appropriate and possible.
We’ll inform you in writing by email or in product when we have to enforce our policies. We will also let you know what options are available to you.
Limit ad revenue from your content
As a member of the Yapit Partner Program, you can make your content eligible to earn ad revenue if they meet our advertiser-friendly content guidelines. However, if your content are found to not meet our advertiser-friendly guidelines, or if they violate other policies, such as our age restriction or copyright guidelines, your content may earn limited or no ad revenue.
Suspend your participation in the Yapit Partner Program
Violation of our Yapit showcase monetization policies may result in monetization being suspended or permanently disabled on all or any of your accounts. If it’s determined that your showcase is no longer eligible for monetization, your showcase may lose access to all monetization tools, features, and Modules associated with the Yapit Partner Program. You may also choose to opt out of specific monetization Modules at any time by contacting Creator Support.
Data retention
If your monetization agreement with Yapit is terminated, you still can request your Yapit Analytics data from the time you were in the program by contacting Creator Support.
Suspend or even terminate your Yapit showcase
In exceptional circumstances we may need to terminate a showcase, account, or disable a user’s access to the Service in order to protect the integrity of the platform or protect our users from harm.
