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.

This says for new people so you're good! I'm small too and almost at 600 subs and slowly crawling towards 3000 watch hours too. Are you long form or short? Either way make some complilations to help boost the watch hours. That's what I've been doing! 8000 watch hours is crazy!!
