Hi Xah Lee, As you probably heard, we recently announced updates to the YouTube Partner Program (YPP).
We made these changes to address a spike in abuse on YouTube by bad actors like spammers, impersonators, and re-uploaders.
Our goal is to ensure a healthy ecosystem where original creators can grow and thrive.
As of today, your channel, Xah Lee will no longer have access to monetization tools associated with YPP becm.lse it doesn't meet the new threshold of 4,000 hours of watch time within the past 12 months and 1 ,000 subscribers.
If you meet the new threshold at some point in the future, you'll be automatically re-evaluated for YPP.
The reviews typically take 1-2 weeks.
We understand that you may have lots of questions right now, so we've put togetherl some FAQs that can help.
