YouTube destroyed small channels

It was fun that recently you had to earn 10.000 total views on your channel to get access to monetization, right?

Well that was too easy to achieve in their opinion.

Now to get monetization and custom thumbnails you will need to have:

- 1000 subscribers
- 4000 watch hours in the last 1 year meaning 240.000 minutes watched on your channel

That's a huge thing affecting tens of thousands of Youtubers and it will make many people quit.

What's your opinion on this?

YouTube is retarded again... ever since it went into Google's hands, they screwed it up.

Easier to just stream on Twitch. At least you can get some form of money, hopefully

if i had the Choice i would take Twitch instead of YouTube for earning Money.

Do you even make money with that small amount of subscribers and watcher count

1000 is nothing compared to 240k minutes of viewtime

Yea I basically got fucked too I had a channel with 1 million minutes lifetime watch time over the period of 7 years well say what time to SE youtube!!

Youtube's standards will just get more strict as time passes. This is unavoidable with the growing amount of people using it.

Thats a pretty stupid move

Lots of channels have now moved to pratron to get money. As as the YouTube add system has gone down the tube :-0

Good decision. Less crapy channels and Churn and Burns.

I personally think this is a great idea, This will honestly push creators like myself to stop being lazy and be consistently uploading. however I don't think the custom thumbnails should be a part of this whole you need requirements for it, just because custom thumbnails are very effective when it comes to people viewing your channel and videos.

Can totally agree, was thinking the exact thing.

The viewing part is insane, but the subscriber count seems possible

Good thing I have reached all those requirements
Take out the newer competition

YouTube is really fucking up, they have not been profitable for awhile, and in response Google is trying anything that might increase profits. And the changes they make probably do increase profits in the short term, but they fail to see how these changes will soon cause the opposite effect and end up fucking their profits. They just don't think about the aftereffects of their policies, it's irresponsible and retarded.
