Did your YouTube ad revenue in November suddenly decrease?
Did your RPM or earnings dip to the ground even though your videos are getting consistent views?
Many YouTubers are complaining about the revenue decrease issue that happened from the 3rd to the 8th of November.
“Hey, @TeamYouTube. There may be a glitch or something in the system, 3rd, 5th, 6th & 7th November 2022 revenue dipped to the ground suddenly. Is there any update regards this YouTube revenue drop?”
User @Harley_Nagu first tweeted about the issue on Twitter.
The tweet got over 40 likes and 40 comments and YouTube replied that they’ll look into it.
Here are some other reports, “Content creators, is anyone else seeing some weird revenue adjustments on #YouTube Studio?”.
“Has anyone else who is earning ad revenue on YouTube noticed that their RPM has suddenly crashed from the 3rd to the 8th of this month? I’ve only earned half the money I’ve made for this month. I’m hoping that this is only a visual glitch and not a reality here”.
Why Did My YouTube November Revenue Sudden Decrease?
Your YouTube November revenue suddenly decreased because of a bug in YouTube analytics.
The bug caused an incorrect report in YouTube analytics in November which displays your revenue as $0.
In the YouTube Community, Mayya from the official YouTube team posted about the issue in detail.
Here’s the official post by YouTube:
“Hi Creators, we’re receiving reports that many of you are seeing no revenue being reflected on YouTube Analytics for November 3-8”.
“We’re currently working on fixing this reporting issue in YouTube Analytics and will update you here when it’s resolved. Thanks for reporting and appreciate your patience!”.
