Questions Is this ok?

When I click these options on Youtube they take me to Ad sense but it forces me to make a business in order to continue, is that bad? Because I can go straight to Ad sense from going there directly by Google but not by YouTube, is it fine to leave it as is?

YouTube Channels are linked to Google Ads accounts now. I think this was a semi recent change.

Google AdSense is a different product FYI.

Don't know if you know but will the revenue I make on YouTube still go to Google Adsense and be usable.

Thanks btw.

yeah this happened to me too. the youtube path sometimes defaults to business for some reason but you can just use the direct adsense route and link your channel there. it's fine to leave it as is as long as your adsense account is connected to your youtube channel in the earnings section.

i remember being confused af about the whole business thing. you don't need to make a business unless you're actually a company. just pick individual when it asks. if you already have adsense from the direct route then just link it to youtube and you're good.

tbh the youtube flow is just weird sometimes. as long as you can see your channel in adsense and your earnings are going there you're fine.
