Why people seem to think we need to hear about the childhood memories of running inside after a day of playing in to cold to come back to some winter comfort food cooked by her grandmother, i dont know...
I just want to check what temperature and time again ffs!
I wasn't commenting on the hours bit of the change.
The requirement for a minimum number of hours of viewed content is fine, I was just saying the subscriber count requirement was stupid and easily bypassed.
You likely wouldn't have to create a bot, multiple likely already exist so there's no effort involved.
Yes it isn't worth it, but it's also not worth YouTube putting in that requirement.

Not really my sort of things but subbed because you do a marvellous job the with Secret Santa so it's nice to be able to try to help you out.
To be fair when it started it was more about people doing it for the love of it than for the money. They are not stopping anyone making videos for fun and using their unlimited free upload bandwidth to share to the world.

Depends on what you do in your channel and how popular you are.
I follow two Japanese youtubers, one has 9k subs, the other has 16k subs. They stream each day and make about anything between £200 in superchats (donations) while their streams by views alone will make them anything between £30~ plus the users who buy sponsorship with them that gives them £5 per month, think they both have around 20-30 sponsors? They make a few grand per month.

true, the best channels are the ones who love what they do.
the thing that gets me is a youtube video might be demonitised for the creator, but there'll still be adverts and you can be damn sure youtube is making money from it, kinda double standard morality right there.
its like when they went hell for leather against the various gun related channels, almost as if it would be impossible to find an advertiser who'd be more than happy to have their ads shown with that kind of content, y'know, people like gun manufacturers? the smart business move would have been to simply categorise what ads can be shown on what content and sell advertising space accordingly. not everyone who watches youtube wants or needs all family freindly content.
I don’t think OP is ready to make the jump from fruit machines to letting nerds ogle at him wearing a sexy battleship costume.

My first sub.
Got the same email too, kinda sucks as I have over 4000hrs in the last year, but obviously don't have 1000 subs. What about all those channels that "bought" subs along the way? I bet they stay...
Lifetime revenue is nearly £1000 for me (over around 2 years of video views mostly). Not much in the grand scheme of all things YouTube I guess, but still.
It does say once the criteria is reached, they'll review the account and re-enable monetisation I guess.
Edit*
I have 938 subscribers! Balls!

I haven't watched an advert on YouTube in years on my devices. I used to block adverts using uBlock Origin, but I've been subscribed to YouTube Red for a while now; for Google Play Music, no adverts on YouTube, and background audio streaming on YouTube's mobile application.

Oh i'm not bothered by the ads, compared to traditional tv network youtube barely advertises (5-30s every 20 minutes as opposed to 5 minutes every 15).
Its just the hypocrisy that theyre not giving the content producers money for moral reasons but happy to make money themselves from that very same content.
