Why this exists
The numbers never showed the path forward.
I have a YouTube channel with 14 subscribers. Every few days I'd check the same number — watch hours toward monetization — then close the tab, anxious, with no idea if I was two months or two years away.
The YouTube Partner Program math is simple on paper: 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours, or 1,000 subscribers and 10M Shorts views in 90 days. But "simple on paper" doesn't tell you your actual pace — whether you're trending toward it or plateaued. Nothing in YouTube Studio answers that directly.
So I built Youmont. It reads your actual channel data and tells you straight: your monetization pace, whether your revenue mix is risky, what a fair rate looks like for your size — and yes, it'll flag it before tax season if you've been ignoring that too.
