Well i receive an email from youtube today in which they say that they are making changes in their partner program and friends this is shocking change and i think according to their statement the you tuber's won't be able to earn anything from youtube unless they have 1k follower's and 4k hrs watch time on 20th Feb 2018 and this is absolute joke 4k hrs watch time is not an easy thing to achieve, now my channel is about 6 to 8 months old and i only have 760 hrs watch time and their is no way i able to achieve that target in such a short spade of time.
Below is their email which i receive and it consist of two portions, see the below image to read the first potion.
Now according to the above portion youtube says that they want to support as many channels as they can but on the other hand they are setting up so high requirements for creator's, it means youtube only want big channels and their is no more space for new youtuber's, so i think with this change youtube is no more youtube it looks like celebratorytube to me now because they are only giving the monetization to big channels, who uploads a celebratory video's or music.
below is the second portion of the email
i just want to say that this is harsh and youtube is doing absolutely wrong, they only going to support the huge channels and no more support for new or small channels and i think the end result of this change will be bad because peoples will start leaving the youtube and youtube will only have certain viewers and creator's and this is not going to produce any good results for them, well if you guys have youtube channel then you surely receive this email too, so go and check your email and see your channel fulfill the requirements of 4000 hrs watch time and 1000 subs.
Have a nice day.
