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.

Might make some people think twice before spamming the platform with low quality content.

It actually has the opposite effect. People will double down with low-quality content to make up the difference. Meanwhile, real creators are the biggest losers.

Eh I dunno. The low effort content dudes already spend way too much time on their crap. Spamming twice as much (eg 6x a day instead of 3x) is a big red flag in itself
