Starting in February of 2027 the rules are changing for creators who aren't yet monetized on YouTube. As of right now, you need 4,000 watch hours and 1,000 subscribers to get monitized with long-form content. For shorts, you need 10 million views in the last 90 days.
Next year, YouTube is doubling the major requirements for getting into the YouTube Partner Program. It'll take 8,000 hours of watch time for long-form or 20 million shorts views in 90 days if you're a shorts creator.
In this video, we'll be focusing on how long-form creators can get monetized before the Februrary deadline. You're on a #raceto4k and our goal is to run that race alongside you! We want to get as many creators monetized before the cutoff as possible and this is the best video to watch if you're looking to take that step.
