I don't know if you have monetzied your Youtube demos and vids over time, but I logged into my account only to be met with the following announcement.

Seems we will no longer receive any monetisation if we do not get an annual 4000 hrs of views PLUS 1,000 subscribers: Dictatum reads:

"In addition to 1,000 total subscribers, channels need to have 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months to qualify for YPP."

I was never gonner be rich off mine, but I had slowly started to make a few £ and now is being grabbed back... I will not even get my sub £60 balance by Feb...

    There is a lot of outcry about this.  Same with Ad-pocalypse 

    YT is great for so many reasons, but they seem hell bent on getting a bad name with these decisions.

    TPS mentioned in their comments the other week that they’d had videos de-monetised due to swearing. They’re hardly A**l Housewives XIV are they.

    Today I had a video from a channel I subscribe to talking about the changes in respect of the numbers and swearing and expecting to lose his £60 per year. So he inserted lots of clips of Susie Dent saying c**t into his video. 
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    Youtube are run by Google, motto "Don't Be Evil"

    I guess building up a platform to provide a new outlet for creators, signing up 100s and then Weinstening them doesn't count as evil...?

    I guess they can just say "my gaff, my rules" - no rival in the space comes even close in terms of name or reach.  Might mean a few less anti-semites and people who can crack jokes at a dead body becoming global stars, but shame if it screws over some others at the same time.
    We have to be so very careful, what we believe in...

    A lot of the guys I used to follow on YouTube gave up a while ago and moved to twitch and make their bucks on there live streaming now.

    I think a "Downfall" style vid of Hitler ranting about having to shoot some more Kitten Videos will do the trick... :)

    That sucks. I never made much out of YouTube, maybe $50-$100 per year in ad revenue, but it's not worth bothering with now.
