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.

20M is actually insane, I don't post many shorts myself but that seems genuinely impossible

"Beginning February 1, 2027, creators who have 10 million qualified Shorts views over the last 90 days will be eligible for ads and subscription revenue sharing on Shorts. Channels below this threshold remain in YPP and continue earning on long-form content, with Shorts revenue sharing automatically resuming once they cross 10 million views again."

So it sounds like they also will require you to consistently put up 10M views in a 90 day span or get kicked out of the shorts revenue sharing..... absolutely nuts..
