YouTube shouldn’t put ads on small channels videos if they aren’t gonna pay us for it.

[just-another-guy]

I honestly think it's a good idea. It gives small creators a chance to earn a little bit without really angering bigger creators who have already done the old way. Yes small creators are going to make a little, but it's nothing compared to what larger creators are capable of making. It's a boost to get there.

An hidden way of telling us "apply early, you may wait for 3 months to reapply if you get rejected".

It's a great update anyway, and would love to know when it's rolling out to most countries.

i pray every one watching this level up financially, physically, mentally and spiritually this year ! Let’s get to work 💪🏿💰💪🏿

I think they should allow the the smaller channels to tap the ad revenue, but maybe just get a smaller portion compared to the full requirements. Ads run on my videos now, and I don't get a cent. At the end of the day, it is motivation to stay on the grind! Consistency will pay off. DONT GIVE UP!

This is going to be confusing for a lot of people but I think this is huge step in the right direction . A lot of creators have built up good communities but haven’t been able to reach the threshold and their viewers haven’t been able to support them when they wanted to. Now they can and hopefully this will encourage people to keep going.

This is really great. As a small content creator, I know how hard it is to gain traction and attention from the start. I was tired of creating content almost every day and only getting few hundred views on my best days. After that, I used to tools to increase my subs and views (now I am mainly using Famester, as it works for Instagram and Tiktok as well, which are my main platforms). Now I can say that I have no troubles with algorithm, and I have more and more organic views every single day. It's much more easier and much more enjoyable this way.

If you stream it's an amazing news for these small creators, it's a way from the start to build a relationship with their audience and grow faster! I'm happy Youtube made these changes; it makes it a more welcoming place for every creator. Hoping they will extend their country list soon too

[LukesVlogs]

just as i become monetized, they lower the requirements lol. its okay I've worked a long 4.5 years to get monetized. i don't regret 1 thing. i just wish I started earlier to be honest. to any small creators feeling discouraged don't worry! with persistence and patients your hard work will pay off. <3 I love you all, Have a good day!!!

[stephenbahrmarbles]

Good that they’re making it easier for new creators to get into the program . I had to jump through so many hoops trying to get monitized, it was easier for me to buy a house! 💥Insane

[IlseMulAuthor]

I think it's better than the old system. Granted, as a small channel you might not have a grand audience, but fans of your channel now have an option to directly support you earlier on in the "game". So... yeah, I think it can help smaller creators :)

[Bigfoot_With_Internet_Access]

I think lowering the watch time requirement is way more helpful than lowering the sub requirements, getting 1000 subs is way easier than 4k watch hours for a lot of creators

[learningwithlanden]

Build TRUST with your audience. That's my key takeaway from the new YPP monetization update. If we cannot monetize our content but only our audience, then YouTube is indirectly helping smaller channels remember to focus on their audience first and statistics second. Hope all of you around 500+ subscribers and 3000 watch hours keep that "trust" aspect in mind. Ad Meliora!

[fmbray_]

This is actually VERY useful and motivating for me. The fact that it's a tier below and something easier to work towards first while still having a bit of income just waiting for the actual YPP.

[Jdiroe]

To all my Fellow Content creators I wish you nothing but the best of success in your journey. Always remember no one can tell your story better than you. Always be consistent and keep the quality of your work true to yourself. Thank you VIDIQ for all your amazing advice and unwavering support to the YouTube community!! VIDIQ is goated!!

[templumdianae]

I think it’s a strategy to attract more influencers from other platforms like tik tok, instagram, but my suspect is that in future they will lower rpm, like happened in ad sense decades ago in websites

[Panzil]

*WE'RE LOWERING YPP REQUIREMENTS!* Well yes but actually no.

[bottledupchai]

We all got this. No matter what! You're doing great. It's a hard road but we're each on our own journey and supporting each other with positivity and warmth is what keeps us going. I wish you all success.

[relaxingnaturewalks]

It's preferable to the previous system, in my opinion. Even though you might not have a large audience because your channel is small, your viewers now have a way to actively assist you earlier in the "game." So, absolutely, I do believe it can benefit smaller creators.

[TheSonnyChannel]

I like that Channel Membership is unlocked for smaller channels. That was what I was shooting for to begin with to create specific content for members that didn't have to apply to the mass public.
