Youtube's new Partnership requirements

[NintendoCN]

I don't know for sure whether this Thread goes here or not.
I just recently was notified that starting February 20th that YouTube is changing the requirement for partnership to be 1000 subscribers total, and 4000 views per month! After 7 (almost 8 years) uploading videos I only have 69 subscribers at the time of this post, and 3680 views in the last 28 days. I need more subs, I don't want to coome off as begging for subs, that's not my intention. Just wanted people to know and see how many ar against or for this change. Share your thoughts!

Yeah, now I'm kicking myself for not monetizing my videos earlier. I had something like 100 subs last time I checked. Who knows, maybe youtube's kicked them all off, since I haven't uploaded in years.

I was pretty disappointed when I heard, too, but I guess it's fair that YouTube block off monetization for those like me who really aren't putting that much effort into it.

I'm uploading 2 to 3 videos everyday, I have been since last year, it just bugs me that those who put work in don't get much return.

What does partnership mean? Getting paid by YT?

And getting posting to more recommended feeds. It's kind of a crappy way to get paid. I think it's $1 per so many views (i think 1000) and youtube will take a cut.

The biggest problem is that nonmonetized videos don't get pushed to the recommended feed. This more or less kills the chance of small channels to grow on their own.

Yeah, they pay you based on minutes watched, you only get paid when the amount watched reaches $100.00 or more... I haven't achieved that yet.
