@TeamYouTube Here’s a very important question that needs clarification: If a channel reaches the threshold and is then “in” the partner program, will they lose their status if the channel ever goes under the threshold?

So, in cases of temporary drops (eg: 1k subs drops to 999 for a day, then returns to >1k), your channel may not be affected. If affected, your channel will be automatically reviewed again once it reaches the threshold. Hope this clarifies!

I’m wondering more so about watchtime. Because if your channel is unmonetized every time you go below the threshold, you have this looming cloud of tension at all times, and it prioritizes quantity over quality.

If your channel watch time drops below the threshold for just one day (as an example) we won't remove you from YPP. We're still finalizing these details and will share another update before Feb 20th.
