The new YouTube monetization rules are hardcore. They just killed all small

Anyone under those requirements weren't making much anyway...

But why discourage the $10/month earner... you never know when they'll break out

They earn the money when they earn the following. Seems fair to me. The

It's not the view hours that scares me, it's the subs.

I feel your pain. That makes sense. You're right, people in that niche

1000 subs is pretty low. Mid-tier channels are in the 100,000+ range.

I earned about $1/day after I got to 10k views and that’s what made it fun

cheezedawg

I'd do it for $30/month as well.

Bert609

I made $70 last four weeks

I know my limits. I will never reach 1000 subscribers

cheezedawg

honestly, the way I see it, is a dollar a day isn't worth your time or youtube's

As someone who advertises on YouTube, it doesn’t seem to make sense

Yes, it should drive up the cost of adrates per video. Which helps creators. But

But maybe fewer people will bother making helpful videos. That was his point.

Surely this will give birth to a new service somewhere.

There's talk of conservative investors working on this right now...

Oh goody

Even lefties can join and not get their content demonetized...

ocmyhome

No one is getting persecuted from YouTube based on their politics

1/16/18 9:52pm

What is your explanation for Prague U having videos age restricted?

cheezedawg

1/16/18 9:56pm

Because no one over 12 should watch them

Dillinger

1/16/18 9:59pm

Yeah, instead they should be watching fart jokes

cheezedawg

1/16/18 10:04pm

Petty viewers who reported them and automated systems for dealing with reports

joelvandyne

But deleted assured us no one was getting persecuted for their politics

They aren't. There's no secret YouTube content control cabal

Yoshinobu

1/16/18 11:22pm

The "GunTubers" that were systematically demonetized in 2017 would disagree with

cheezedawg

1/16/18 11:45pm

That's more on advertisers being topic-shy than YouTube being jerks

Yoshinobu

1/17/18 6:26am

False.

CrimWalCoug

1/17/18 7:05am

Again, age-restriction isn't censorship nor is it demonitization

Yoshinobu

1/17/18 8:31am

Age restricted videos do not earn any money

How so? They still get ads, as far as I'm aware

To pretend the ratio of demonetized videos is similar on both sides of the political spectrum is silly.

CrimWalCoug

1/17/18 9:22am

I doubt that, but I'm really not interested in a pissing match this morning.

joelvandyne

1/17/18 9:27am

When you’re ready for a pissing match let me know.

CrimWalCoug

1/17/18 12:50pm

So what’s your explanation for when the humans actually review the videos and still keep them demonetized?

CrimWalCoug

1/17/18 6:41am

The left: free speech sucks

Carlos E. Queso

1/16/18 9:44pm

So a lot of creators get their content demonitized to begin with, because of their political opinions. Is this

This sets a very high bar before any channel can monetize anything

Tell me where to go. I just reached my 10k views and am under review, but if I need 1k subscribers, I won't even bother

I hate Youtube. My revenue has dropped steadily since this adpocalypse crap.

The subscriber problem seems like the perfect problem the internet can solve.

YouTube can spot fake subscribers in any of their many forms.

No those are the channels with millions of subscribers.
