Deep dives
Invalid traffic affecting YouTube creators' revenue
YouTube creators have been experiencing a significant drop in their ad revenue due to what YouTube calls 'invalid traffic.' Invalid traffic refers to any activity on a channel that does not come from genuine users or users with genuine interest. However, YouTube has not provided clear explanations or details about the specific videos or sources of this invalid traffic, making it difficult for creators to address the issue. The lack of transparency and support from YouTube has left many creators frustrated and searching for solutions. This issue has been ongoing since November 2022, and creators are now banding together to raise awareness and push for a resolution.
