Content ID is dead?

Your channels need 4k hours watch time and 1000 subscribers to show ads, even if you do Content ID.

In your case, Do you have to click on the "APPLY" button and link adsense before ads displays?

or Is that once you reach 4k hours watch time and 1000 subscribers, it starts to show ads?

Im not sure about this. Those channels i use content id are all refused monetize, meaning they already applied before.
I havent test a channel doesnt apply before

Hi guys, I have recently started the content id method. I have multiple songs in multiple networks such as cdbaby, tunecore, distrokid etc. I generate a lot of views, however I do not see a single ad on any of my videos.
I have tested this already with vpns, different devices etc. My videos simply do not show ads at all, no matter what I do.
All my videos get claimed by me with 1-3 different songs depending on the video. All my content is copyrighted material, however it never gets claimed by anybody else, only my own songs.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have 20+ channels and a lot of them have over 1k subs and 4000 hour watchtime aswell and are also not showing ads, so this can also not be the reason. The content is mostly educational and documentaries so it is also not nsfw in any way.

Does anybody know the reason why ads are not showing? Even on videos with 50k+ views and channels with high traffic?

Its different from monetized channels.
Do you have any channel like it, but still doesnt show ads?

I recently read in this forum (I don't remember where), that that trick you are thinking of using to make money, is no longer working.

That may be why what you are hoping to do is not working for you.

Do you mean if some new channel will upload videos lets say with Lady Gaga songs and this channel does not has 4k hours watch time and 1000 subscribers and does not applied for monetization - youtube will not show ads and Lady Gaga gets 0 revenue?

Yes, something like that. Or a video needs to have x views so it can shows ads, i dont remember x.
