I'm sure all smaller YouTubers are getting the axe notice today, too... My heart goes out to you as well!! I have 1.3 million views across my channel, & over 5,600 subscribers, but I only got a little over half of the watch hours they now suddenly require (My # is at 2130 watch hours) somehow I gotta get 2000 more in 30 days.
Y'all gunna have to forgive me, but I'd love if you check out my collection of video tutorials this month, and maybe watch some a few extra times, so I can get the watch hours up to keep getting revenue from Youtube ads. https://www.youtube.com/user/MatricesOddity
To put it in other words: I still meet all other criteria for earning on Youtube, except for their new "play hours" requirement at the moment. So it means that people watching my tutorials don't play them over and over again (taught em too well I guess!!) Watch them again this month to help, pass it on to your friends interested in making fursuits!! The "play hours" requirement is for a 365 day period normally, so having a 30 day notice of it is really a sudden cruch :( Thanks for your time and support. I appreciate it and hope that I have been able to help you make your fursuits over the years with these videos.
