YouTube Increased Required Watch Hours to 8,000
UPDATE: I'm GOING LIVE EVERY DAY at 7:00 PM CST to chat about YouTube Updates, News, Tips, anything I know and can find to share that will help us. I WILL GET THE 2,400 HOURS I NEED with uploading weekly content, going Live, and repurpose Long Form Videos to Shorts.

The YouTube Partner Program Changes
👉👉 STARTS Feb 1, 2027 — New Creators need 8,000 watch hours (was 4,000) + 1,000 subs.
👉👉 Shorts increase to 20M views.
👉👉Already monetized or Get Monetized by Jan 31, 2027? You are Grandfathered In. Just Need to Accept the New Terms in YouTube Studio.
💥💥Super Chats, Super Thanks, Memberships remain the same—need 500 subs + 3,000 hours.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
So anyone that’s near or wants to reach a 4000 hours before February let’s help each other out to reach the 4000 hours by attending each other’s lives or watching videos.
Even though becoming monetized is a great achievement it’s not the only way to make money, but it helps and would be great to accomplish it before February 1, 2027.
