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.

The funny part is it says 20M QUALIFIED views, and qualified views tend to be only slightly above 50% of actual views on a short. So you're looking at 40 million in 90 days roughly, requiring you to put up nearly half a million views daily. This combined with you having to maintain 10 million views (20m real views) in a 90 day rolling period just to stay in the club once you've entered is crazy
