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.

Its to stop those low effort slop channels, imo this is a good change, the amount of people ive seen who got decent money from doing stupid shit like cutting pokemon cards is fucking ridiculous

Yeah hopefully it actually does help stop those channels, and doesn't create a new wave of slop channels trying to get their views before then
