After X, YouTube Is Changing Who Gets Paid

YouTube is making major YPP changes from February 1, 2027:

• Shorts: 10M qualified views in 90 days will be required for Shorts ad + subscription revenue sharing.

• New creators: YPP ad/Premium entry rises to 8,000 watch hours OR 20M Shorts views.

• Premium Lite: Expanding globally where YouTube Premium is available, creating another potential revenue stream for creators.

The important part: existing YPP creators keep their status, and fan funding + Shopping thresholds remain unchanged.

After X's creator monetization changes, YouTube making its own adjustments is interesting.

Are platforms raising the bar for creators - or simply trying to reward the ones who consistently deliver?

@unkonfined Honestly, just getting another day to try again is something we take for granted. Some days that's all you need

Anthropic says it will watermark text generated by its AI models, but it will be invisible

Then how it is a watermark , Anthropic! 😭

@XFreeze I think the real lesson is don’t blindly trust any AI company with something as powerful as superintelligence. Companies, incentives and missions can change

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@OLTOAK Yes , people are using ai slop and not just X is getting filled with it also other social media like linkedin and instagram are also full , platforms should now take strict action against them

@greg16676935420 Good morning here

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@brockpierson X for sure and another one is ChatGPT

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

WhatsApp has told us to reserve usernames , but when they will be activated ?

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@BillyM2k Yes bread and butter is all time favourite dish of many

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@wisdomslices_ Yes, actions speak louder than words

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@skill_of_life Yes , they may teach you life lessons

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@Palak3312 Nope , no one can , except the developers of previous generations who did all production based code without ai hats off to them

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

Youtube ads are now overpowering like in 2 min video 2-3 ads

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@monetization_x I am not eligible, making content to become eligible

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@unkonfined Yes that's true, followers are easy to gain but people you love your content and want to support you are difficult to get

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@TeslaModelDoge Yes thank you , people like you are helping others so the community on X is growing so fast

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@interesting_aIl That's actually a good move as ai slop is increasing taking strict action against it is necessary

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@steipete Yeah I find that part funny too, a harness can add some guardrails , but it doesn't make the capable model harmless

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@dogeofficialceo This is hilarious, but also kind of brilliant. He basically discovered the most expensive version of a human-in-the-loop AI system

[GenZ Dev @RealGenZDev]

@teslaownersSV That's a great milestone , this shows how a platform can reach top when community starts adopting it
