In my opinion, it all about of the amount of the encouraged creators. New Monetization threshold will reduce this amount (percentage) because in order to start a YouTube channel, it will need to be a serious project owner. This possibility is not available to ordinary people but only to full-time people working as a free film producers, while the majority of current content creators are not full-time producers.
I agree that the new policy will lead to a more professional approach towards Youtube. I disagree, that ordinary people can't produce good videos, if they don't do it as a full time job. You don't have to work on your videos all the time to create good content.
some youtubers works as auto mechanic and publishing videos about auto just as a tool to market their main business, promote their experience and gain money from Youtube Ads as well. Moreover, most vloggers are not full-time producers.
Again I believe that compared to what they earn with their job as auto mechanics, Adsense is simply a joke. Although I agree that it can be an additional motivation.
I believe, the majority of Small creators will not waste their times into building surrounding community and start editing efficient contents without getting any cents in return.
Building an audience and community is never a waste of time. The community is what keeps your channel running, unless you want to produce one viral video and get rich from it. One of the most satisfactory things in Youtube is interacting with the community, with the very people who watch your videos and wait for them.
Finally you are right, that some people will be discouraged. But so will spammers and other people that don't abide to the rules. If you really like Youtube, you will continue creating, 36$ should not decide to go on with your hobby or not. Although they were an additonal motivation.[DOUBLEPOST=1517853566,1517853353][/DOUBLEPOST]
A good move, anyone can get views and subs by spamming and asking for subs. But actual watch minutes (240k of them) takes work. Being honest even this level of action on your videos will earn a very small amount, so i don’t see how it negatively affects anyone really. Unless you just monetized and now will be removed from the partnership - that would suck a bit from a milestone point of view. Its just making me want to work even harder on my videos and post every week to build my fan base. Challenge accepted!

The funny thing with my channel is I have the watch hours, but not the subs. I think this might be due to the fact that I never asked for them, because until those changes I didn't think they are important - they were just a number for me.
But I think that I will make my way through to the 1000 subs. We all will, if we really want to!
