Yeah I don't necessarily like that they are more strict about the content approved for it, but I think it's a good system so that creators can make more off of ads.

They did it to cut out the bad actors. The people starting channels and flooding the site with bad content, or worse, re-uploaded content. You can effectively not do that anymore. Also, any site that is terminated can't just create a new channel under another name and resume their bad behavior. They have to get to the threshold first. It keeps existing channels in check, and the re-uppers? They have been terminated pretty much.

I'm a little bitter, but only because I made it past the first requirement, which was 40,000 hours watched or something, and then once I did, they added the sub requirement.

For those wondering about current wait times- I made the requirements on October 15th and was approved November 20. Keep at it!

thank you for sharing that info.
You're welcome! I know there were many questions about wait times and I saw posts saying they'd have to wait until the end of the year (which I thought was going to be me).
