Even Galactus is not amused...
So... YouTube is changing the eligibility requirements for monetization to 4.000 hours of watch time within the past 12 months and 1.000 subscribers.
The watch time is not a problem for me but the subscriptions are. So I am hoping for your support here.

YouTube just made it insanely hard for small creators to keep doing what they are doing. I would go as far as to say that they made it almost impossible to gain ground for people with a full time job and real life obligations.
Non-monetized channels get featured less. So how are small creators supposed to actually extend their viewership in a noticable way?
YouTube's reasoning is mostly based around being able to control problematic content in a better way. What they did though is making it insanely harder for small creators and still allow huge creator (like pewdiepie or Paul Logan with all their scandals) still run wild.
They pretend to care for the quality of content while we all very well know what kind of "quality" content of big YouTubers generates revenue for YouTube...

So I kindly ask you to support us small creators. Not only myself but also other people that you might be watching without having hit that subscribe button, yet.
Thanks a lot for taking your time to watch and read this and thanks a lot for all the support so far!
