Creator features like live streams, custom URLs, scheduled uploads (and many others!) are not going away with the YouTube Partner Program update.

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
It seems like Discovery and loss of features are important to a lot of people. It’s one thing to lose out on money but, no one wants to make things people won’t be able to actually find and see
