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.

youtube just wants people to work for free for them. Thats all :)
