We've made updates to the YouTube Partner Program to strengthen our community & prevent impersonators + spammers from harming our platform. We understand this affects many channels, but believe it's necessary to protect our creators. For the full updatehttps://goo.gl/T1pvG3

This update has been in the works for awhile w/ the goal of preventing bad content (like spammers, impersonators, etc) from monetizing. While it will impact some good channels, we believe it's the best compromise to protect our community.
This could be handled in a better way. You place a majority of good creators with the bad. This has been the second time that I know of, where a big youtuber does something to hurt youtubes integrity, and your response negatively affects everyone below them, and not them.
