Ducky Bhai breaks silence on post-release YouTube earnings

YouTuber Saadur Rehman, alias Ducky Bhai, has said that he does not have owner access to his official YouTube channel and has earned no revenue since his release.

In his latest vlog, the YouTuber told viewers that the channel visible to subscribers is being operated through an editor’s account, not his own. He explained that he only has limited access and is unable to view revenue or manage key settings.

“I do not have access to my own official YouTube channel as an owner,” he said. “Before my arrest, I gave editor access to my team so they could upload videos in my absence. That access only allows video uploads and basic editing.”

Reading out YouTube’s access rules, he said that editors can edit content but cannot add or remove users, enter contracts, delete the channel or videos, or view revenue details. “This is true that I do not have my YouTube channel,” he added.

He also said his AdSense account has been disabled, adding that while he was in custody, authorities changed passwords and authentication details, which resulted in his AdSense being blocked.

Addressing reports that he earned large sums from his first vlog after release, he rejected those claims. “All reports about money earned from my first vlog are not authentic. I have made zero revenue from my YouTube channel after my release,” he said.
