YouTube RE: Important updates to the YouTube Partner Program

[Digu Casillas]

It killed me when I heard about it when I just completed the monetizing for 10,000 views.
For 1000 subs I guess it will take year

 

[CronusMaker]

these new policies
they will screw people could leave open the check
who was already a partner
more will disable everyone

I feel for you when hitting the goal, and a new one is announced. Although about the hitting 1k subs, it really depends on a few things, sometimes it can take a year or sometimes longer. Let's hope for it to not take that long for you.

I guess this is the end for my part even thou I had some real life issues, I seriously doubt I will continue with YouTube. Twitch might be hard, but my guess it will be worth it once I have home.

My channel will remain, but my content is still meh.

I see SO many people complaining that their channel is now dead, and that they won't be making content anymore. Let's be honest. If this truly ends your channels. Then you were doing Youtube for the wrong reasons. Many of you, including myself were making peanuts, and in all honesty your focus should be your viewers and community. I don't care about how much money I make as long as I can crack a smile on someones face each day. That's my focus. So in all honesty think to yourselves why you are so upset over this and why you're ending your channel, cause for many I'm pretty sure they believe the focus is on them and no one else.

Sorry if this message sounded rude, I don't mean it to be. But the realization that Youtube is not a quick-money grab needs to be clarified.
Just like any company, organization, actor or anything that's famous, work needs to be put into it.

I couldn't agree with you more, as long as I make even one persons day just that little bit better, then I am happy.
As Alli says in the YouTube Vlogumentary trailer
"If you can turn on the camera for one minute and make a connection with just one person, youre a YouTuber". This is why I do it[DOUBLEPOST=1516308466][/DOUBLEPOST]

looks like im up Sh!t creek with out a paddle "(

If that is the case, why dont you vlog it? Thre is a;ways something that can be done, Papa George uploaded a video today where he said that Freeedom is looking ito ways where those of us who do not meet the requirements can still make some revenue.. if we need it

#FreedomFamily, Hi
My God, why are you doing this?
I struggled so much with the channel, the monetization will be turned off, since I only have 325 subscribers, besides that I will lose the shipping schedule too, people of freedom are all counting on you, because there are great producers.

This isn't Freedom!'s doing, neither can they do something against it. If they could they would, they don't want to lose channels to this either.

 

[nologic]

It's a shame that small content creator has to go from the YPP. :\

Sorry for the error of pronunciation, I meant youtube.

Hey #FreedomFamily,

At this point, you've probably already heard of the changes to the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). And in case you haven't, here are the main points:

Under the new eligibility requirements announced today, the new threshold to be in YPP and have access to all monetization tools and features is 4,000 hours of watchtime within the past 12 months and 1,000 subscribers.

Creators need to surpass this threshold in the next 30 days. Failure to do so results in losing your access to YPP. For our partners who have reached this threshold, you have nothing to worry about as this change will not affect you, your partnership and channel.

For everyone else, we want to address the fact that this is not Freedom!'s doing at all, just in case this part is not clear. We would not build this business just to kill it. As to what we are planning, honestly, we are looking at ways we can maintain the amazing relationships with all our partners through the community and possibly figure out ways of offering certain services. We are working on plans to maintain our relationships even if the channels are not partnered any longer. Rest assured that this is our number one priority and please be patient with us. We will be releasing our plans once we have them agreed upon across the leadership.

Hmm...I think that I will be trying very hard to accomplish the new rule...let's help each other grow together as a Family as George said! Everything will be great!! Thanks everyone here...!

 

[Kelly]

I am really mad about this. I mean, REALLY youtube?

 

[Smart Facts UK]

I think youtube is doing this because all the small transactions cost too much Money to manage.

I hope @George and the team, find a way for us to keep some tools

Thanks for the up date @Row

Thank you for the information. Looking forward to hearing more.

While YouTube may be be removing small channels from their partnership program, we shouldn't lose hope. Even if you lose your partnership, you will still have the community and friends you've made along the way. Build one another up, and have fun with it!

I only got 355 Subscribers but i do meet the 4000 hours watched. In all of 2017 i got 14,000 hours watched. What will happen?

You will be removed from the MCN by YouTube but Freedom! Management is looking into keeping the network's services available to old partners.
