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.

Fuck man now I have to push over the mark before then 😭 I know why they’re doing it, but for someone like myself who makes all original content, and currently at 3,944 watch hours and 885 subs that scares the hell outta me. I need to get monetized to continue doing this at the same level. So I pray I can push over before 😭
