So what problem, EXACTLY, is this YouTube thing solving? Oh, right, that YT sometimes is forced to pay people who aren't multimillion-sub channels that do things to make the platform look terrible to the greater public and drive advertisers away, right. Silly us.
4000 hours is so ridiculous. 1000 hours would be enough to have the same effect 4000 is meant to & keeps small youtubers in the partner program. Nobody who is in the program should lose it. Period @YTCreators @TeamYouTube
