Thanks for the overview. Thought they already made this change before.
Anyways, I welcome this change. Recently you saw a lot of small youtuber who directly went to try to monetize their channels without even having a big enough fan base or sometimes even without the quality. I think it's giving and taking. If someone wants to get money for ads, it's ok, I have no problem with this, as he puts time into making the video etc. But first she should start and give something to his community through content which has at least some quality and not forcing people right away to see ads.
Often the money is the only matter, therefor I appreciate these people who make this because they have fun doing it and where money comes as behind this.
I do believe they Introduced the 10,000 view before monetization earlier In 2017, prior to that you could monetize straight away on Youtube.
Exactly, I look at It as a business venture, you don't expect to make a return straight away, you expect to put long hours and hard work to make a name for yourself and make your business thrive. Youtube Is seen as a quick get rich platform for many and It just Isn't the case.
I think 1000 subscribers Is a good benchmark for decent content, after all If you have that many people watching your videos then surely you have something worth watching. Im a long way off that number and I'm happy to work hard towards It.
It will also force users who spam content, off Youtube, which can only be a good thing.
Yes, can just agree. People should work for their money and get a name themself, then they will also get followers and views in a organic way anyways. Beside that, it makes nearly no sense to monetize before as they would get not much money anyways for it. Probably the administration costs are also too high in this case for Youtube.
I really hope this will help bring back more quality to youtube. The bad thing is, if someone really want, he still can buy subscribers and views, I assume.
Yes I do believe you have to gain a huge amount of views to make anything near decent from being on Youtube. I have had people say they have 1,000s of views per video but are still earning pennies monthly because It's still not enough. Rightly so.
Youtube had been on a slow decline for a while now. And even harder to find decent content. Most of what I see Is clickbait.
I'm hoping Youtube manages to find a way to prevent bought for likes and subscribers, after all, It doesn't buy watch time and viewer base so unless you buy likes on every video you make what Is the point.
I think the point is, that it makes a video more attractive for potential viewer if the video has a lot of views and maybe likes. Something else I can't think about.
Yes, youtube is probably filled more then 60-70% with clickbait probably, and that's a pity.
I didn't think about that actually. Views do attract views. I heard a while ago that Youtube now have ways of knowing where the views come from, same IP Adress maybe? Whether this Is ture or not I don't know.
I don't know where the future of Youtube lies with all of the negativity In recent years which Is why I turned to Steemit and Dtube.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment :)
