I run a small tool that guesses whether a YouTube channel is in the Partner Program from what’s public on the page. YouTube stopped showing that status publicly in late 2023, so the tool works from other signals. I put the per-country counts into a dataset.<\/p>\n
One row per country: channels checked, how many came out likely monetized, possibly, likely not, and couldn’t tell, plus median subscribers. Countries with fewer than 30 channels are left out.<\/p>\n
The channels come from each region’s trending videos (YouTube Data API, 111 regions, 10 categories), so they skew big. A country’s number is about the big channels we checked, not the country as a whole.<\/p>\n
About 20% we couldn’t call either way, and that column is in there.<\/p>\n
One thing I got wrong: the bottom eight countries (Kazakhstan, Tanzania and Bangladesh at 0 of 60) are exactly the eight where YouTube doesn’t offer channel memberships, and the September rule needed the memberships Join button for a “likely” verdict. That rule has since been changed. This file is the September snapshot; the repo has a comparison of the two.<\/p>\n
