Well with the new policies that @YouTube has put into place I have no choice but to work even harder. I will say it's frustrating knowing that I don't meet the new criteria yet but it'll make for a fun challenge. Best of luck to everyone and don't give up!!

You're welcome. This also brings up a good question. Now that these changes are being made, would I even be able to live stream to YouTube at all?
Mind if we jump in? You'll still be able to access most of the features including live streams and custom thumbnails. Only those related to Monetization like Super Chats would be removed. Hope this helps clarify!
