To prevent spammers, impersonators, and other bad actors from harming and taking advertising revenue from inspiring and original creators. We know this update affects many channels but believe it’s necessary to protect our community.
And remember, if you don't have 1,000 subs, Youtube thinks you're one of those "bad actors" and don't deserve a chance or incentive to grow your channel!
