life on youtube - the rules

this post is about the rules of youtube's new rules on monetization and a group for the youtube (and blogging) community to join with a few basic rules and reasons for them. if there is any questions or comments to add feel free to ask and enjoy the read :)
monetization rules? 
the concept of the new rules on youtube is confusing to so many people that is still so very hard for people to understand what is happening to their channels. the use of monetization youtube was pretty much accessible to everyone until a lot more recently. as you are aware it is the smaller YouTubers who are getting hit the hardest by these new rules by having their Adsense cut. to now get monetised you need to have 4000 hours watch time and 1000 subscribers and you have to have both of these in order to get the monetization. if your channel used to get monetised this will be stopped till you reach this target and only when this target is reached will you be able to get your Adsense working again. as soon as you hit this target you can get monetised and if you get an average of this mount of watch views a year then you will be able to sustain the monetization if not it may be taken of you again.

Was this in the works for a while, is it a good thing?
 I do believe that this was a long time coming for youtube as surely there is only a certain amount of money they have to give out, not only this but it can help them look at the videos getting monetized more closely to ensure there isn't anything that is classed as rude, disrespectful, racist, sexist or illegal and so on in videos. a prime example of this is as most of you would already know the logan paul saga with the video containing a dead body which definitely shouldn't have been uploaded but after that, it should have been spotted straight away. this now gives youtube more time to look and ensure that the videos in which advertisements are on are more suitable and better videos in which the ads are on.

the future for youtube?
 the future of youtube is bright and I guarantee everyone doing their creative uploads are amazing at what they do however it will take time and it will all work out in the end. I feel personally there is a strong future for youtube it is getting bigger and bigger by the day with more people joining and uploading and it is such a strong a the majority of the community are so freindly and helpful (except the minority who are trolls but always stay positive and ignore them) and your chanel and the future of youtube will be a great one!!!!

a friendly group to promote your channel?
I currently run a community over on Facebook for people to join by answering 3 simple questions and this means they can promote their channel and see people who post videos of similar content or even other content in which is of an interest to you. the group does have a few rules but this is mainly for the benefit of your channel such as no sub for sub as youtube doesn't do this and do always find out and take the subs away and in some cases stop you from being able to post as this is not people who actually want to view the videos necessarily but just people who want to get the subs for money (which doesn't happen anymore anyway). also, another rule of the group is no paying for subs as this really is not any help on anyone and a lot of the time it is just for the money and you don't actually get the subs. and the final rule of the group is just no private messaging people in the group but that's for personal reasons for people. other than that the group is free to join and is such a friendly community to join. (it is also for bloggers too!!!!)
