Theres an update coming to monetisation on YouTube, at the moment you need 1000 subscriber and 4000 watch hours to monetise but its going to be increasing 8000 watch hours in the past year or 20million Shorts views in 3 months. The changes become effective on the 1st of February 2027.
Do you think 8k watch hours is too much for new creators? Why do you reckon they are implementing this change?
