I just received an email from YouTube and this is @myfirsttime hating YouTube. I've used YouTube since the early days when it was first launched and up until now I honestly feel angry/upset/angrier and here's why.
Only a few hours ago I received an email saying that my YouTube channel will no longer be earning any money from ads. Here's the email:
Apparently, YouTube is changing their terms and you need to meet a certain threshold before you can monetise your videos.
I need 4000 hours (not minutes by the way) of watch time within the past 12 months and 1,000 subscribers. I don't meet those figures and I'm not sure how many NON-VLOGGERS actually have those stats.
So YouTube is giving me 30 days notice before they terminate Video Monetisation on the channel - 20th February 2018 to be exact. Mind you, I don't have that many videos or earn a massive income but I was hoping to grow this.
Are you having the same problem? Do you hate YouTube now and will you be switching to D.TUBE?
I guess it's a good thing I came across D.TUBE
