Do videos uploaded via the YouTube API respect default monetization settings?

Question

I experienced that with with Google-cl there is just no option to enable monetized content; imported from the command-line.

Is it even possible via api?

I set the default settings in youtube to monetize new content and via the youtube website manual uploaded content gets configured correctly. But using google-cl this setting is ignored.

Can someone point me in the right direction or is it just not possible?

I have 4 Videos per day which get uploaded and don't want to edit everyone by hand.

Answer 1

Videos uploaded via the YouTube Data API (which is what google-cl uses under the hood) should ideally respect the default settings in your account for new videos.

I'll follow up internally to see if there's any reason why you're not seeing that happen in practice.
