A lot of @YouTubeCreators have their eye on the moment when they hit that magical combination of watch hours and subscribers to apply to the YouTube Partner Program.

@TeamYouTube And I showed even the timeline of how the editing works.

Could you please look into this issue as this is the second time it’s happened?

[Dan Best- Best Path Forward! @LeftNWriteBrain]

I have a long form podcast that I edit and gave the step by step of that edit to the appeal portal.

For the YouTube Partner Program. I know being validated with monetization is a huge goal for a ton of us, but know that I am proud of all the posts that I see where you continue to fight for your dreams.

I know that if YouTube rejects my appeal again … I’ll
