Creator features like live streams, custom URLs, scheduled uploads (and many others!) are not going away with the YouTube Partner Program update. We just updated our Help Center to clearly outline this info (thanks for the suggestion!): https://goo.gl/mAUaMj https://twitter.com/paragraph_8/status/953663437065936897 …

Smaller channels can still grow and be discovered–monetization doesn't impact how videos appear in search or how they're promoted/recommended across YouTube. Also creator features and tools like cards and end screens, custom thumbnails, live streaming, etc are all still available
My channel has over 1million views, 1039 videos but only 3100 watch hours in the last 12 months. To you I'm not suitable and I can't post 900 hours worth of videos in 28 days. This is appalling and really taking the mickey.
