    This is from a creator I met on Twitter who explains it SO WELL!

    "For anyone still thinking we’re upset about #YouTubePartnerProgram because of the money; here is the real reason why small creators are taking the hit and rightfully upset:

    We don’t care about making money. However, loads of us have a passion for creating, and what comes with that is having the videos we create seen by people who enjoy our content. YouTube is repeatedly making it harder for smaller creators to get noticed.

    If you think that the only result of this will be them taking away our “earnings”, then that is quite naïve. Videos without ads are less likely to get picked up/boosted by the algorithm. I don’t care if YouTube says otherwise, because they are trying to make money.

    The only way that would not be the case is if YouTube is going to still display ads on our videos anyway, which would imply they’re taking all of our money rather than most of it. Obviously their priority is to boost content with ads, as that’s how they make money.

    And with YouTube prioritising the content that makes them money, they are pushing the smaller creators into the ground. It’s demoralising and disheartening for the entire small-YouTube community, and so that’s why we’re upset.
    Not the loss of our $3 a year in adsense."

    YOUTUBE is a business and they want to make $ they will NEVER promote videos with no ads on them why would they promote videos that make them no $. SO YES i 100% agree with you it's not about the $ for us small tubers, it's about our discoverability. we will get shoved t the back of the bus so to speak on the platform and only our subs and pl with the links will be able to discover our content. THAT'S THE ISSUE and why we are all so spooked.

    And am ATM making alot more then 3$ a year.... so I will feel the aprox 40$ a month less out of my retired pockets, but its not gona cost me my rent or anything, just gonna make me work that much harder if i want this. as i am close to the requiremnts.

    Yes it does suck!
    I'm disappointed but not defeated.
    I'm more worried about what I will loose with MGN and Freedom.
    I wish George would let us know more details.
    Cause it's causing me anxiety really bad.

    From what I understand of the situation as it stands now, if you lose the YPP, you lose partnership with any MCN as well, until you can meet the new requirements. However that doesn't mean you'll lose the friends and community you've come across along the way so keep your head up and keep having fun making videos! <3
