That’s an impossible task for most channels. That will probably kill most of the smaller guys out there posting DIY and repair help and product reviews. Those channels account for most of my YouTube views. I have no interest in the giant channels. Bummer.
I know people have said this before on previous changes, but it’s hard to imagine this not impacting YouTube in a severely negative way.
