Livestreams and monetization[]
She started live streaming more to work towards monetization, and it couldn't have gone better for her. Not only were her streams frequent and long, but also entertaining enough to keep people there for hours, effectively raking in watch hours.
However in recent days she hasn't "felt like streaming".
Despite surpassing the watch time requirement for YouTube monetization, YouTube denied Julie's monetization because too much of her watch time came from streams. Because of this, Julie of the Arts is not monetized on YouTube.
VidCon[]
Julie of the Arts attended VidCon 2019 and made a 30-minute video that raked in many watch hours and pushed her over the edge for being eligible for monetization. However, Julie of the Arts still hasn't heard back from YouTube. She initially planned on attending VidCon U.S. 2020, but due to its cancelation, she has no plans to return anytime in the future.
