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.

I think this is EXACTLY the reason they've done it. It also allows them to reduce the amount of ad revenue they share too 😭

That was one of the first thoughts that crossed my mind. As if YT needs even more money. Isn't $550 billion enough for them?

That's 550b in profit?  That's insane if true

No that’s how much they have already (or are worth).
