Last week Youtube announced changes to its monetization policy and its going to be a big change. They are adding new requirements to monetize videos. Below is the announcement directly from youtube's email.
"What's Changing
Under the new eligibility requirements announced today, your YouTube channel, Black & Tan Media, is no longer eligible for monetization because it doesn’t meet the new threshold of 4,000 hours of watchtime within the past 12 months and 1,000 subscribers. As a result, your channel will lose access to all monetization tools and features associated with the YouTube Partner Program on February 20, 2018 unless you surpass this threshold in the next 30 days. Accordingly, this email serves as 30 days notice that your YouTube Partner Program terms are terminated.
One of YouTube’s core values is to provide anyone the opportunity to earn money from a thriving channel. Creators who haven’t yet reached this new threshold can continue to benefit from our Creator Academy, our Help Center, and all the resources on the Creator Site to grow their channels. Once your channel reaches the new threshold, it will be reviewed to make sure it adheres to our policies and guidelines, and if so, monetization will be re-enabled."
There are many possible reasons for this, but the worst is the largest channels which historically violate terms and rules will not be affected.
I would love if you could help me by subscribing and sharing my page on your social media outlets! Thanks contact me with your channel and I'll return the favor.
Thanks for reading!!

I’m starting on YouTube and these terms seem quite daunting, but I’m up for the challenge. How long have you been on YT and how many videos do you have?

I have been on for 2 or 3 years but only got serious a year or so ago. I was really excited until the changes. Trying to not lose focus and hope.
