Good news to everyone who’s watching this video because YouTube has changed their monetization policy! Yay! There are new rules and regulations for getting monetized, and it is no longer 4,000 watch hours and 1,000 subscribers as you usually know. These requirements have been reduced, and aside from the reduction, there are other things that YouTube added that some persons are not talking about, and I actually want to talk about them. If you're looking forward to making money on YouTube, just know that initially, you need to have 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours, but right now, it's not like that.
Let's use an example of a channel that is not yet monetized. This channel currently has 15 subscribers and six views. When I click on the monetization button, it reads:

If you ask me, I prefer you to monetize with the 1,000 subscribers and the 4,000 watch hours because if you're not a live-stream kind of person and if people don’t fall in love with your content, achieving significant income will be more challenging. When you reach the 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours milestone, you can post videos and generate passive income from ads, providing a more stable revenue stream.
Your Take?: So which monetization route do you prefer? Do you think the new requirement of 500 subscribers and 3,000 watch hours or the original 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours is better for you? Let me know in the comment section!
