Youtube recently changed their rules regarding ad revenue for users. According to the new update channels with fewer than 1,000 subs or 4,000 watch hours will no longer be able to earn money on YouTube. When they reach 1,000 subs and 4,000 watch hours they will be automatically re-evaluated under strict criteria to ensure they comply with Youtube policies.

The primary focus of 2018 for all at YouTube is to ensure stable revenue and to protect and better the content creation ecosystem. New channels will need to apply for YouTube Partner Policy , and their application will be evaluated when they hit these milestones. For new beginners, it is not easy to have 1000 subscribers. But if your channel already has 1000 subscribers, are you certain that your videos have such good quality that they are viewed 4000 hours per year.

Paul Muret, the Vice President of Google, said on YouTube monetization, “We will closely monitor signals like spam, community strikes, and other abuse flags to ensure they comply with our Adsense policy. Both new and existing YouTube Partner Program channels will be automatically evaluated under this strict criteria, and if we find a channel repeatedly or egregiously violates our community guidelines, we will remove that channel from YouTube Partner Program. We will remove the user’s accounts and channels from YouTube if the account has been issued three community guidelines strikes.”
