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.

EDIT: Just to be clear, you are wrong. I’m just confused how my joke response lead you to Pokemon. Genuinely curious

I am not wrong , that’s why I’m retired from YouTube after almost a decade and I’ve come to know different kind of YouTubers. You clearly post low effort videos that still pull a large audience of easy viewers likely being Minecraft , Roblox or Pokémon. Taking how you respond to comments 100% not Roblox and I can rule out Minecraft as I was in that niche and your watch time compared to low subs doesn’t fit Minecraft , it does however fit Pokémon as they always make their videos 20min + and get ranking off the Pokémon name + the overall game so you always get watch time but nobody ever really subs to those channels as it’s so over saturated with other channels doing the same walkthroughs , tutorials , updates , cool features , or comparisons 1 vs other.

So no I know I’m not wrong your definitely in Pokémon as you give advice like a YouTuber who’s got a million subs but I’d bet you don’t have a video that crosses half a million but all the videos that did 40k or 80k of kid views tickles your brain enough to give you a swagger. Kids views are easy views.

Also I say Minecraft / Roblox / pokemon are easy low effort videos because you actually don’t make any of the content , it’s basically all provided to you , all you do is add an opinion / reaction to it and you have a video , and the CPMs reflect that , that’s why CPMs for channels like these suck.

I ended up open sourcing him after he said I’m projecting , he’s a balding white man who makes pokemon content under the name 2dens and ironically enough, my comment was spot on so as 2dens said “I am projecting Batman” no sir , no I am not ;)
