YouTube Shorts: Beyond Subscribers, YPP & Views Drive Earnings

• YouTube Shorts monetization requires joining the YouTube Partner Program (YPP).
• To join YPP, creators need 1,000 subscribers and 10 million Shorts views in the last 90 days.
• Revenue is generated from views after accepting the Shorts monetization module, not from past views.
• Creators receive 45% of the ad revenue from a creator pool, after music licensing costs are deducted.
• YouTube Premium earnings also contribute 45% to creators.

Why It Matters: It clarifies YouTube Shorts monetization, emphasizing views and engagement over just subscribers.
