Youtube new Partner program explained 2018 . 4000 Hours watch time ?

Youtube sent me this email Today we are announcing changes to the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). While our goal remains to keep the YPP open to as many channels as possible, we recognize we need more safeguards in place to protect creator revenue across the YouTube ecosystem. LEARN MORE What's Changing Under the new eligibility requirements announced today, your YouTube channel, M.R.H Channel, is no longer eligible for monetization because it doesn’t meet the new threshold of 4,000 hours of watchtime within the past 12 months and 1,000 subscribers. As a result, your channel will lose access to all monetization tools and features associated with the YouTube Partner Program on February 20, 2018 unless you surpass this threshold in the next 30 days. Accordingly, this email serves as 30 days notice that your YouTube Partner Program terms are terminated. One of YouTube’s core values is to provide anyone the opportunity to earn money from a thriving channel. Creators who haven’t yet reached this new threshold can continue to benefit from our Creator Academy, our Help Center, and all the resources on the Creator Site to grow their channels. Once your channel reaches the new threshold, it will be reviewed to make sure it adheres to our policies and guidelines, and if so, monetization will be re-enabled. Some extra info YouTube adds stricter rules for creator ad monetization Every video in its elite ad program will be scrutinized by human reviewers, while the bar has been raised for joining the program.YouTube is raising the bar for what videos can take advertising and vowed to add human reviewers to its most popular content, part of an effort to address marketers' concerns their ads are appearing alongside offensive or controversial content. The video site said Tuesday that human reviewers would scrutinize every video in Google Preferred, its elite ads program accessible to top creators. New videos uploaded to Google Preferred channels will also have to be manually verified to meet YouTube guidelines before they can run ads. There's no denying 2017 was a difficult year, with several issues affecting our community and our advertising partners," Paul Muret, a Google vice president, wrote in the blog post Tuesday. "We are passionate about protecting our users, advertisers and creators and making sure YouTube is not a place that can be co-opted by bad actors." The changes come in the wake of an advertiser boycott of the Google-owned video site over videos with children that were the target of sexually inappropriate comments. YouTube killed hundreds of accounts, removed more than 150,000 videos from the platform and turned off comments on more than 625,000 videos targeted by alleged child predators. YouTube is also raising the threshold for channels that want to carry ads. To qualify for the YouTube Partner Program, channels must now have 1,000 subscribers and have accumulated at least 4,000 hours of watch time in the past 12 months. The previous threshold, announced in April, required channels to acquire 10,000 total views to be eligible for the program. YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said in December that changes were coming to the site, including an increase in the number of content moderators and other employees reviewing content and training algorithms. She also said YouTube would take a "new approach" to advertising on the site, deciding which channels and videos should be eligible for advertising. YouTube said in November it had removed ads from nearly 2 million videos and more than 50,000 channels that tried to pass off as family-friendly but that featured inappropriate content. The company also outlined new rules to make YouTube safer for kids. The Smartest Stuff: Innovators are thinking up new ways to make you, and the things around you, smarter.
