To All Small Channels: As of January 17, 2018. All smaller channels that do not reach/did not reach the minimum of 4,000 hours watchtime/viewtime within the past 12 months and do not have a subscriber count of 1,000 subscribers minimum. Your account will be ineligible for monetization with the YouTube Partner Program.

Effective immediately you will have 30 days to make these requirement changes to your channel. This serves as a notice that if you do not meet the standard requirements within these 30 days your partnership with the YouTuber Partner Program will be terminated.

This law is unfair and unjust to all new content creators and small YouTubers, lets restore YouTube to the way it used to be fairness and equality for all YouTubers. Bigger and smaller channels let's rise together to create a positive change.
