We're on track to clear the backlog of YPP applications by early next week! If you applied and met the eligibility criteria before June 1st, keep an eye on your email and Creator Studio! Details and further updates will continue to be posted here → https://goo.gl/49yaQS
"Backlog" has a new name now "held for review". Team YouTube approved few small channels for monetization and put all good growing channels in "held for review". There is no any space for serious & talented new creators on YouTube now. Thanks for ur disappointing update.
