Youtube it was good while it lasted .....

Well that's a shame. Just reading the mail from Google about the new ad revenue rules.

4000hrs and 1000 subscribers min.

I have a channel that I started in August 2016. It only has about 120 videos but I have uploaded steadily over that time. Its mainly aviation videos that I have filmed and edited myself over the years.

When the chance to make a little money via monetization arrived I had a go and was pleasantly surprised when my vids started to make a few quid. At the moment I usually get a small payment around every 5 months or so.

Not a massive amount but considering the time editing etc was a nice little bonus.

Looking at my stats I have over the yearly hours but only 350 subscribers so come Feb the payments will stop.

I have a feeling that a lot of interesting content will vanish.

So you need 650 PHers to subscribe to your channel so you continue to receive payment?
They don’t even have to watch your videos, just bump up subscriber numbers?

Hey that's a great idea haha !

Thanks for the offer gents it's appreciated.

I've considered what I'm going to do and decided to leave the channel as it is now but will not add any more content.

It was created before it was possible to garner revenue from advertising for like minded enthusiasts so that's how I'll leave it :-)
