What's Changing
Under the new eligibility requirements announced today, your YouTube channel is no longer eligible for monetization because it doesn?t meet the new threshold of 4,000 hours of watchtime within the past 12 months and 1,000 subscribers. As a result, your channel will lose access to all monetization tools and features associated with the YouTube Partner Program on February 20, 2018 unless you surpass this threshold in the next 30 days. Accordingly, this email serves as 30 days notice that your YouTube Partner Program terms are terminated.

Or that reffer to viewing time, for example let say if you have video with 1 hour duration which has been seen by 4000 people ?

Youtube = sick.

Their CEO is an SJW cunt, who hates free speech and wants Youtube to essentially become 'disney tube', to make it the safe space humorless people like her can safely surf without being offended by everything that doesn't match their opinion.

the past month i had 500,000 views. You know how much i got paid, with the 'too offensive' filters of Youtube firmly in place for my channel? 50 bucks.

TV shows get less views. Creators on youtube work their asses off, and they don't get paid jack shit. Every single time there is a new hoop put into place we have to jump through. Fuck them :2 cents:

Also before these filters were put into place my content was much more prevalent on youtube and got millions of views a month. Once the filters were put into place, your videos are shown a lot less in search, related videos, etc. They really try to demotivate channels that do not fit their agenda by cutting the money and exposure off. It's a form of censorship.

In the meantime, YT will be monetizing the channel while you don't qualify.

Therefore until you qualify, you're working for them for free.

I love Google more and more each day.

Whatever way you look at it the aim is to make it a better user experience. Not a better service for small fry affiliates.

Who they pay their ad dollars to doesn't affect regular users who are just there to consume content, so it has no effect on the user experience in any way.

That's a theory with absolutely no proof or anecdotal evidence.

People are posting content for free all over the internet.
Nobody is getting paid to post on Facebook, reddit, instagram, etc...

People kill themselves on live cam for free on Facebook.

They have a search algorithm to improve user experience.

They have suggested video ...
They have a rating system ...
They have html5 video ...
They have no pop up ads ...
They limit types of ads ...
They limit types of content ...

If the user wants a better experience on youtube then they can simply avoid typing "Guy with firecracker is ass" into the search box.
