So, YouTube HATES us now | YouTube Update

YouTube's new monetization requirements are changing in 2027, doubling the YPP threshold to 8,000 watch hours or 20 million Shorts views. Here's what's changing, who it affects, and my opinion. With YouTube's new changes coming in the next 6 months, I thought it would be a good time to rant about what's actually happening, and give my perspective on the new monetization requirements YouTube unveiled on Monday. Thank you so much for watching and supporting my videos! New videos every Saturday at 5PM AEST.
