@Don't bullshit us brother 's post brings this change of Youtube's policy changes into attention.
In this video it's somewhat explained:
From what I can gather and besides monetization on YT-shorts, Youtube now reserves the right to "charge back or offset such amounts (Partner earnings) against future Partner Earnings payable to you "
(capture of that at 1:08 in video above), when a breach of Terms has occured, or anything that violates their monetization policies.
Language is kind of vague and open for exploits, so I'm not sure how it will go. But "
in theory", if the above happens in one of his videos, DSP will get a chargeback from Youtube on the video's earned amount, or if cannot be done, future earnings will have that amount substracted.
Unsure if this affects old videos (it should, as it's phrased), and also YT
may do. They're also garbage at enforcing their rules, but in the unlikely event everything goes down in flames (to the delight of Twitch), I'll have a glass of orange juice on hand, take out the deck chair and have the sunglasses ready.
Hopefully things get spicy, there's nothing like Youtube/Twitch shooting themselves in the groin.
