Hey fuck you
[editline]17th January 2018[/editline]
I'm demonetized too
Same. I'm going to lose out on my hard earned 3$ if I don't acquire 600 subs in 30 days.
Yeah I don't see this causing a backlash at all.
Joke's on them. I was never monetized to begin with. :cool:
Youtube fucks over content creators part 34
Tbf if you have under 1,000 subs what the fuck would be the point of monetizing to begin with?
I haven't monetized any of my videos but I'm more concerned with potentially losing partner-only tools. Apparently any new channel won't get access to endcards.

I'd say its more the time thing. 4000h of view time is really dependent on what you upload.
People who do video essays or upload twitch vods will have an easier time than people who do small clips or animation

True, that. I've got several hundred thousand views, but they're all super short epick maymays which means maybe 1,000 hours of view time. This change is just favoring those Paul Brothers "Every Day Bro" type of vlogger trash.
im being demonitised :(
ah yes let's give a massive, garbage content creator more ad revenue for regurgitating a [url=https://youtube-creators.googleblog.com/2018/01/additional-changes-to-youtube-partner.html]fucking blog post[/url] about how youtube is fucking over the little guy
I got this message last night :c
This is so fucking ass backwards I don't know where to begin.
I'm somewhat amazed, my pretty dead channel actually fucking meets the new requirements, what the fuck.
Also I'm in agreement, this is really shit for anyone trying to start off. Its like its setup intentionally to kill creativity and instead cater to the dudebro vlog style where they can shit out hours worth of footage with zero effort.
I can see from a certain standpoint why they would want to do this, but doesn't this move just further solidify the big channels on YoutTube?
"Alright YouTube team, we're constantly loosing money. What can we do to fix this?"
"Let's just completely fuck over the little people that we get money from."

That happens with many many things, it's why shit like car insurance is so expensive because people think that a 21 year old male driver is automatically a drugged-up racer

Jim Sterling doesn't run ads on his videos, as he uses Patreon.
Though I don't plan on making Youtube money, this totally blows for anyone trying to. Youtube is/was a perfect avenue to get your video anywhere all over the world and get recognition, but this really kills the idea that this can be a perfect income replacement.

For the accounts this would actually affect, the revenue lost is so insignificant if you're talking about youtubing as income replacement.

This very much isn't a response to Logans bullshit, it's obviously something planned and unrelated
But it is fucked that, that is the standard and what youtube DOES deem acceptable
I was enjoying watching my channel slowly gain Views and ad revenue.
Thou it was small I was having fun, for me it is a hobby.
[QUOTE=Handsome Matt;53059592]how is this their response to logan paul's shit, how does this help anyone or anything at all[/QUOTE]
There is no indication it's related.
YouTube's team just is really terrible at many things, including when to time policy changes.
I might have 3 hours of footage on my channel, and the majority of that is gopro or dash cam footage of me racing.
I tried monetizing a video once, but they denied it because they said it wasn't original content (it was me playing a video game. I guess I have to code my own game and use that for it to be OC).
"Remember, we want quantity, not quality!"

Logan Paul, like PewDiePie before him, is a scapegoat. The real reason Youtube is making these decisions is because their corporate advertisers want Youtube to be engineered to generate the maximum amount of revenue possible. Smaller channels are a detriment to this strategy, especially if they are producing content advertisers don't like. So Youtube is doing everything they can to make sure nothing other than cynical, calculated cash grab channels with "safe" content can be successful.
At this point, I'm sure YouTube is waiting for the "right" moment to go full [noparse]blip.tv[/noparse] and remove anyone who isn't one of their big money makers.
"Right" meaning any moment without warning aside from a glorified "fuck off" email.
