Question: Who can monetize videos on YouTube?
- Anyone with a YouTube channel.
- Anyone with at least 100 videos.
- Channels that have joined the YouTube Partner Program, or channels that are linked to a label or distributor with an SRAV agreement.
- Only channels that have had Content ID enabled.
Explanation
YouTube allows ad revenue only when a channel has an approved monetization relationship with YouTube. For creator channels, this is handled through the YouTube Partner Program and its monetization requirements. For music channels, label or distributor agreements can provide separate monetization rights for eligible sound recording content. Content ID can support rights management, but having it enabled is not the same as being authorized to earn ad revenue.
Why the other options are incorrect
Anyone with a YouTube channel is incorrect because channel creation alone does not enable monetization.
Anyone with at least 100 videos is incorrect because upload volume is not the monetization requirement.
Content ID enabled is incorrect because rights management access alone does not equal ad revenue eligibility.
