Cars and travel! Maybe some douchey fitness posts...
Unfortunately, I will soon be removed from the #YouTubePartnerProgram Looking at my analytics, I must be just outside of the requirements. I will continue to produce content, but it's a shame for smaller content creators with aspirations... #YouTube @YouTube

Smaller channels can still grow–monetization doesn't impact how videos appear in search or how they're promoted/recommended across YouTube. Also, our Creator Academy can help you grow your channel: https://goo.gl/7yN83M
Thanks for the reply. I feel there is less insentive for smaller creators, and production costs will now greatly outweigh the benefit of initially growing a channel, but i understand the need for more control over advertisements.
