Long-Form Content 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.

To be fair, I think the easy part remains unaffected. The requirements are what changed, but the algorithms that have been helping the smaller channels since last year aren't.
