The life you want is not impossible, is not out of reach, it's not waiting for the right time, it's waiting for you to stop been afraid of the person you need to become to have it

This is why I want to be rich.

I have no interest in buying lambos.

[Zorro @wayofzorro]

Am I wrong?

I don’t think most people trying to make it on YouTube want to get rich just to buy lambos or sports cares.

I want to get rich so I can own my time.

Go to the gym at 2 PM on a Wednesday.

Treat my parents and loved ones without worrying about a budget..

That’s my idea of a rich life,

not the fake consumerist version that’s been shoved down our throats.

ive responded to so many people in the last few hours who say:

“this youtube update is great because it will reduce the amount of ai slop on the platform!”

this is really really really wrong, and a pretty ignorant statement lol

the people who will suffer the most from this update are not faceless creators like me tbh, most of my channels hit the requirements (although it is annoying that you can’t have many small shorts channels making money every month)

the people who will be hit the hardest by this the most are regular people. average people who are not “shorts creators” but maybe they do shorts on top of their 9-5 and it pulls them an extra $300-$500 a month, helping them out in this economy.

these people will go from that —> $0 on Feb 1st. these are the real people, the real creators that YT and everyone claims to want.

the “ai slop” people have enough time/money to pump out double the volume of videos (bc now they need more views than ever) and not to mention they can make this content at record speeds now, whereas people who aren’t using ai and are spending lots of time/effort to make 1 short will be completely screwed.

for the most part, the only people who will be able to achieve and maintain these youtube shorts requirements are people who do youtube shorts full time.

even long form YouTubers who make occasional shorts for their viewers but dont hit 10m engaged views in 90 days will not make any money from their shorts.

I’ve seen valid arguments and other points, like it might reduce competition, and rpms might rise, and these may be true

but the idea that this mainly impacts slop creators is so far from the truth that it almost pains me

attached is a pretty concise back and forth I saw

tl;dr this youtube update hurts all small creators and does nothing to combat ai slop, in fact I predict there will be even more of it as people desperately have to spam upload even more now just to reach and maintain monetization.

YouTube is currently experiencing a generational delay in pushing videos.

He spends $20k-30k per video.

And now he’s begging for money on Patreon.

He is panicking.

His revenue has gone down by approx 66.7%.

He blames AI because AI has leveled the playing field.

Now he’s competing with kids in India who don’t care about his Anti-AI virtue signalling.

He could adapt. But he won’t.

You know why?

Because to him, his channel is “too high quality.”

“Look at these hand-made animations that cost me $20k to make”

But there’s only 1 problem with that thinking: the market doesn’t care.

Sure they care a little bit.

But they don’t care enough for AI to not win in the end.

It doesn’t matter how long your video took to make.

It doesn’t matter how expensive your video was to make.

And the biggest branded channels are starting to learn that very painful lesson.

But this is just the beginning.

More pain is coming for them.

Stop chasing vanity metrics.

Post the best AI slop you can.

Make your money.

And go live your life.

While the market continues giving economics 101 to the masses.

@Adi1564369 first answer this,

do you care abt code quality or the working functionality.

if it's just that u want a inhouse tool thta needs to work then don't think abt code being messy.

I officially won the case against YouTube!

A legal body officially certified under EU law has ruled on my demonetization case against YouTube and found in my favour on every point, i.e “I won”.

Official decision:
— YouTube’s demonetization was declared unlawful
— The measure must be overturned
— YouTube pays the costs

The Arbiter found:

YouTube contradicted itself. My channel was reviewed and readmitted to the Partner Program on April 15. Nine days later, YouTube demonetized it again for the same reason. If that reason still applied, the readmission would never have happened.

The remedy YouTube offered was impossible. YouTube said monetization could only return if the related channel was readmitted, but that channel was deleted and cannot be readmitted. The Arbiter called this “a permanent measure with no defined path to resolution.”

No human reviewed my appeal. My video appeal was rejected automatically within hours. Under EU law, that’s not allowed. The Arbiter concluded no human reviewer was assigned to my case.

The policy was hidden. YouTube relied on a rule that only exists in its internal resources, creators couldn’t read it.

YouTube offered no defence. They argued only that the case didn’t apply to them. They said nothing to justify what they did.

Under EU law, YouTube has a duty to cooperate in good faith with this ruling.

So @TeamYouTube please do the right thing, manually clear “related channel” flag and restore my channel’s monetization.

I’ve been waiting half year now.
