YouTube Monetization Changes announced major updates to the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), doubling the entry thresholds for new creators seeking full ad and premium revenue starting February 1, 2027. Existing monetised channels are grandfathered in and unaffected.
Long-form watch hours: Increased from 4,000 to 8,000 public watch hours over the past 365 days. Shorts views: Increased from 10 million to 20 million qualified views over the last 90 days. Subscribers: Remain unchanged at 1,000 subscribers.
YouTube has now doubled down because most content creators are also updating every day, and this update is being made as soon as possible. Because it is very difficult to grow so much, it is also very difficult for new content creators, and it is not very easy. It is also very difficult because it is very difficult for ordinary content to reach YouTube, and now it must be very difficult for YouTube content creators to come.
Now, if you are still working on YouTube and have been working, you need to understand these things, and you need to work by understanding these things and taking them into account, and you need to explain this matter even more, and you can also email the company and chat with the company to say that this is not the case. We also need to raise this issue ourselves. We all need to do this work together; we need to make the YouTube team proud.
If this comes with a rule, it will be very difficult for many people, it will be very difficult. It will be very difficult for small users, but it will be very easy for big ones; it will be even more difficult for the small creators who come.
