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 …
Ok thank you, I can live with this! The money I didn't care about it was losing the analytics, scheduling, etc that I was upset about. Also excited to see it doesn't change the search pattern of my videos. I still have the tools I need to reach my goals. Thank you.
