Definition
Watch time that counts toward a public monetization threshold under a platform rule. Private, deleted, unlisted, or ad-campaign views may not count.
Why it matters
Creator monetization programs often use this concept to decide whether an account can apply, stay eligible, or receive payouts. When the exact platform rule is unclear, check the official dashboard before making decisions.
