YouTube just doubled the requirements to get Monetized with Ad Revenue
Now you need:
- 8,000 watch hours (Used to be 4K)
- 20M Shorts views (Used to be 10M)
This won't affect existing Partners, ONLY new applicants
Starting Feb 1st 2027
Please keep the current balance as it may cause more trouble if toned the wrong way. I'm satisfied with current one... Focus on the main issue, the Contest System.
