As some of you might have heard about the shocking news on Youtube. They are trying to change their rules and platform in order for bigger creators to benefit. I dont think it affects me in any way, as I dont make much money on youtube and I am not a small creator but I am also not a huge one. Up to this date, i still only make under 200 dollars a month!!!! and that is pretty much full time work! So the news is that you have new regulations now to be able to monetise your content.
That is why I am telling everone now FORGET YOUTUBE - you missed out and even I missed out!!! but dtube IS THE FUTURE!!! All creators should start using DTUBE!!!
Email from youtube :
Starting today we’re changing the eligibility requirement for monetization to 4,000 hours of watchtime within the past 12 months and 1,000 subscribers. We’ve arrived at these new thresholds after thorough analysis and conversations with creators like you. They will allow us to significantly improve our ability to identify creators who contribute positively to the community and help drive more ad revenue to them (and away from bad actors). These higher standards will also help us prevent potentially inappropriate videos from monetizing which can hurt revenue for everyone.
On February 20th, 2018, we’ll also implement this threshold across existing channels on the platform, to allow for a 30 day grace period. On that date, channels with fewer than 1,000 subs or 4,000 watch hours will no longer be able to earn money on YouTube. When they reach 1,000 subs and 4,000 watch hours they will be automatically re-evaluated under strict criteria to ensure they comply with our policies. New channels will need to apply, and their application will be evaluated when they hit these milestones.
Even though 2017 was a challenging year, thanks to creators like you, it was full of the moments that make YouTube such a special place. Creators large and small, established and emerging, transformed their talent and originality into videos that captivated over a billion people around the world. They made us laugh, taught us about our world and warmed our hearts. We’re confident the steps we’re taking today will help protect and grow our inspiring community well into the future.
Its a long email, but yeah what are your thoughts??
