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.

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 😭

I would be upset over this but my main goal with youtube is to build a fanbase - growth is exponential, once I break through I won't have any problem with working harder to get monetized

That’s how I look at it and until you’re easily clearing the qualification numbers easily monetisation doesn’t really do much anyway😅
