It's so easy for them to say that a channel that can't hit that level shouldn't be considered for monetization, but in reality it's not exactly easy for someone to hit those numbers, even with good content.

4,000 hours of watch time + 1,000 subscribers.
1,000 subs is tough but fair in most cases; and yet, combined with the 4,000 hours requirement, this is gonna run a lot of small creators away.

1,000 subscribers is nearly impossible for 90% (give or take) of users, especially those of us who lack the ability to market our content to wide audiences. As I said, good content isn't what drives people anymore. It's just not.

That much is true, but I can respect them trying to change it and make content king again. But if they’re going to do this, they need to adjust the algorithm to give unmonetized channels a boost. The barrier to entry is too high, otherwise.
