What is the immediate consequence of a video violating YouTube's monetization policies?

The immediate consequence of a video violating YouTube's monetization policies is demonetization, meaning the video will no longer be eligible to generate revenue from advertisements. This means all ads will be removed from the video, and the creator will not earn any money from views. In some cases, repeat or severe violations can lead to channel-wide demonetization or even suspension from the YouTube Partner Program, impacting the ability to monetize any content on the channel. YouTube actively monitors videos for compliance with its monetization policies and takes action against videos that violate them to protect advertisers and maintain a safe platform for viewers.
