A policy preventing Copyright owners from making $ on manual claims for:
Short song clips (ex: 5 sec of a song)
Unintentional audio (ex:
from passing cars)
Claimants can still block monetization or the video itself, but timestamps help you edit out the claim.
The best resource to understand why this happens is our ad-friendly guidelines–we recently added details and examples to provide more insight. You can also use this questionnaire to self-rate your content against the guidelines: https://yt.be/help/GsFD . Hope this helps!
