YouTube Has REDUCED Monetization Requirements!

It’s the news you've all been waiting for! YouTube is lowering the monetization requirements, and here are the details:

To qualify and apply for the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), you now need 500 subscribers and three valid public uploads in the last 90 days. Additionally, you're required to have either 3,000 public watch hours in the last year or three million YouTube Shorts views in the last 90 days. These changes will unlock fan funding monetization opportunities such as Super Thanks, Super Chats, Super Stickers, Memberships, and Shopping.

It’s quite a lot, but to be clear, these changes do not unlock ad revenue—earning dollars from views on your videos. The requirements for that remain the same: 1,000 subscribers and either 4,000 watch hours or 10 million YouTube Shorts views.

In summary, this means you can get into the YouTube Partner Program earlier, but you'll still have to wait a little longer to turn on those ads. YouTube is gradually rolling out these updates to all countries, so keep an eye out for updates.
