as you say, maybe you won't want to advertise there at that point. It seems to me that it's so over saturated right now, a sea of endless content, where youtube is having to track earnings for millions of people making 10 cents a day. I don't know. I have a channel that earns about $12 a day with 11K subscribers. I'd imagine this change would reflect positively on channels like mine earning me more ad rev. If not, then Youtube is screwing me over. I think if content creators knew that if they reached the required threshold and boom they start at $3 or $4 a day, then that is real incentive. But, when you have channels with 15K subscribers and a healthy amount of views earning $3 a day, then that's really discouraging. What's the point?
