I just received the "your YouTube channel is no longer eligible for monetization because it doesn’t meet the new threshold" email

We know this might be discouraging, but believe this update is necessary to protect our community. You can focus on growing your channel and benefit from resources like our Creator Site or Creator Academy: https://goo.gl/G151Av 

What are you protecting us from? It's hard enough to work and be seen as a small YouTuber your algorithms don't work for us and the little reward we had and built up is being stripped away. Allow our videos to be seen give us a platform to grown on then your changes make sense

It's because we don't really matter. They're doing this out of pressure from advertisers who are paying them top dollar for ads. They don't want their ads being associated with negative or sloppy content so this is @YouTube lazy answer. Penalise the little guy!

It's obvious we don't matter but I'm going to keep going despite YouTube's lack of attention. They don't listen to their content creators even some big guys say how YouTube is broke and doesn't work now.

I'll probably keep going with it too, because there isn't really another platform like it to turn to. But their concept here still seems warped and ill timed. These changes are meant to reduce offensive or inappropriate content being monetised...
