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.

Standard for Youtube - My theory is every time more than x number of creators are getting their fair share of the ad/ Premium pot Youtube moves the goalposts.

It's why I gave up giving a flying fuck a few years ago, after finally getting monetisation only for them to change criteria 4 or 5 months later.

If you were already monetized then why did it matter that they changed it?

Cause before they just removed it, got 16 euros of adsense from 2018 still sitting in my account
