RE: I'm an editor currently getting screwed over by YouTube.

Thanks wolv! It's almost laughable how bad the site is for creators nowadays. Just yesterday they sent everyone an email saying channels who don't earn 4000 hours of watch time a year are going to lose the ability to monetize their videos.

There's no way I am going to meet that threshold, so I guess when they start rolling out these new changes, I'm going to lose monetization completely. I'm glad I've found steemit in time!

Sort:  

Yeah they are killing the people the platform was made for... the small content creators... Hell in 4 or 5 years you will only see Hollywood like budget channels on there releasing their movies in order to get to that 1mil hours watch time and 2mil views a week threshold...
Its a sad day for the small guy

Official YouTube Update: to monetize videos on YouTube you now need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours watch time https://t.co/ksNSsiW4yj
