I don’t know why, but I misread “4,000 watchtime hours” as “4,000 views” and upon clarification I suddenly have different feelings about this YouTube change. Especially since I had plans for the Sidekick channel this year.

Get this shit, dude, I only have half the required watch time. I only make $100 a year but fuck man, that was my $100 a year. If not for my patrons, I'd have nothing from all this work.

Dude YouTube is feeling less worth it all the time, i was finally starting to make progress, 10,000 views was becoming in reach and now I'm not even remotely close to their requirements

I have 40k views and I'm discouraged. I won't give up though. I'm making this happen because it makes me happy to do it.

I'm not gonna stop making videos but I think I just have to accept I'll never get montenized, I like making videos cause it's fun, but I'm not gonna treat it like a job if it never will be.

To be fair, I only make $100 a year on YouTube (my patrons on
@Patreon give me much more). So if a channel picks up and gets popular, the threshold won't be hard to cross. What really bothers me...1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
Replying to @parksjay @JediJoshNC and
...is how it effects the people who don't care about popularity. The people who do this for the love of doing it who only want to make that $100 to pay for the editing software and break even.

All I've ever wanted was to have a community that enjoyed my content, not to make me popular, but to give people something to look forward to, to give them just 15 minutes of joy a day something to give people a break from their life and smile like so many channels do for me.
