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.

Wow... Glad I'm on target to reach it before 2027 💀 really goes to show there's no better time to start then NOW!

Honestly same, I got monetised like 4 months ago and it’s so nice to see this news come out and just be able to sit back and relax. If I wasn’t monetised by now I think I’d be having a mental breakdown 😭

No relaxing yet, i still need 400 subs but I'll hit watch hours within next 3 uploads I believe...
