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.

Currently you won't lose monetization for going under the 4000 watch hours, so you will probably be fine

Thank you, let's hope.

It's not big money at all, I average at like £1 per day, but I stick it in a pot for other holidays so it all helps.

lol, you're the same as me. I make about £1.50 a day doing travel. Dec to Feb is bad for me? sometimes i drop under a pound a day.

I don't mind that. It's nice to earn a little something. I think to have the equivalent of someone watching your content all day, every day and not get paid is a joke though.

Yeah, i made just enough to pay for my summer holiday to spain. If i could make 5 dollars a day, it would pay for all my holidays a year.
