Hot take but this is good, people should be creating for the love of the game not for an easy check

If you are becoming a content creator solely for the purpose of monetization, you are already losing in the game.

Garfunkel :
8,000 watch hours is only 24,000 views on a 20 minute video. You have a full year to accomplish this. Its not that bad.

ANGRY SQUIRREL PRODU :
Yeah, they're making YouTube corporate now. They're gonna be like old school cable t.v. and cherry pick the creators they want then game over. It's corporatised now.

It forces quality, and consistency. No more shorts based channels, no more ai slop, no more uploading one video every three months. If you wanna be monetized, you have to produce quality content on a consistent basis and actually promote that material across different platforms. No more just uploading whatever or vanishing like YouTubers love to do

Slightly Haunted YouTube :
That first sentence is wrong. If you can’t hit 8k watch hours then you’ll never get paid to begin with. If you hit the creator rewards at 4k then never hitting 8k you’ll make $50 a year.

TikTok also has a problem where the 10K follower requirement is basically mandatory in order to get paid lmao, and apparently they're paying creators less

If you’ve been doing content for YouTube for 12 YEARS & have not been paid, it’s not cause of YouTube.

alyssa :
basically if they wanted to, they could use an AI detection system to prevent AI creators from monetizing off their platform, but they'd rather just make it harder for real human creators lol

Been a full time YouTuber for 8 years. I’ve started 3 channels in that time. One of which got monetized in 11 days. It is not impossible. You just have to make content that people want to see

they already made it impossible for most due to their algorithm

They don’t want the average person to be able to make a lot of money from their own creative thoughts unless they control the narrative.

✨Natalie✨ :
It’s about them controlling the narrative, period

they just want to make it harder for people to break into this since it wasn't originally supposed to be a new form of breaking into the entertainment industry
