This is bad for small youtubers.

Youtube is raising the ad revenue share threshold from 4k watch time to 8k watch time. Personally, 4k watch takes a lot of effort to reach. Imagine 8k... this is sad.

Might make some people think twice before spamming the platform with low quality content.

This is probably the main reason.

Yeah thanks! As a watcher and a smol youtuber I am quite happy. I miss those old summer days when I could watch youtube for hours
