Facebook Monetization Requirements 2026 — What Blocks Creators (And Why)

This episode examines the Facebook monetization requirements in 2026 — published by SMMNut.

Facebook's in-stream ad program requires pages to meet specific follower, watch time, and video upload thresholds — but meeting those numbers is not always sufficient for approval. This episode documents four categories of silent blockers that disqualify pages during the review process: inauthentic engagement signals, content policy violations in page history, page category mismatches, and payment infrastructure issues.
