If you don't already know, YouTube is soon going to make it where you need a million subscribers and four thousand hours of your channel being watched in order to be allowed monetization..

Real soon we're going to find out just how many people actually end up making it. The ones who don't end up making it are most likely just going to quit.

A lot are going to probably have a slow melt down..

What do you guys think?

It's 1000, not a million. It's a higher barrier of entry, but not as extreme as you've mistaken it to be.

Also the amount of money you're going to get for views on videos for under 1000 subs is probably going to be literal couple dollars anyway.

And if you get 1000 people to watch a ten minute video, you're already closing in on two hundred hours.

So it's really nothing that grueling.

I mean by this point most full time youtubers who aren't at that level are already monetizing their content though sites like patreon or some other means outside of youtube itself.

At around 100k-200k I notice some people get show sponsors and people less than 100k have some patreon donors. I doubt everyone under 1m were going to quit if this was true.

This, it's 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time in the past 12 months. One million in order to get monetized is way too much and will never happen.

Also this 1000 subs rule came into effect in February of 2018, so your a bit late to the doomsday conversation (nothing actually happened either, people with less than 1000 subs were getting paid pennies anyway).

Smart youtubers have patreon now. If you're not taking advantage of your viewer base by taking their money, then you don't deserve to be in the entertainment business.

Also, I have no Netflix, Hulu, nothing. No cable, no antenna, nothing. Also don't own a pc.

All I have is my phone, so YouTube is about all I have.

I don't like watching people play video games so twitch is a no go.

I was wondering. A million subscribers seems like an incredibly high bar.

It's possible this may just be a troll topic though considering it's also old info and is already happening.

Thats weird tbh. They made content that people wanna watch and made a living off it.

Do you also hate pro athletes and actors?

You literally have to be an actor to make a lot of money on Youtube anyway. So there's not really a huge difference.

Thats fine if true. The only two channels I ever enjoyed were the Super Best Friends and Game Grumps (much less, but they have their moments).

The former is dead and the latter seems to have given up on playing more than two games at a time now (so fuck you if you dont wanna watch Zelda or Ace Attorney, I guess).

honestly I don't think youtube auto ads funding a channel are a particularly good or sustainable source of income anyway. My impression was that most of the people who actually make a living off youtube videos do it with sponsorship deals for other companies, not the ad revenue itself
