So I been animating in Blender for nearly 5 years now and I mainly make YouTube shorts and long form content called The Galpa Show and I recently saw that YouTube is **going to change the monetization requirements** and this feels like a wakeup call for me because I'm 17 Male and I'm going to be a Jr this year and I'm worried about myself I wasn't planning on doing YouTube full time (Because it's not stable) and my plan **was to be an animator and do YouTube part time or maybe direct The Galpa Show to a cable network or something and make it bigger but I'm now worried it's not a realistic goal** and now I just feel depressed and now I don't want to animate my parents are recommending cyber security for me and **I don't know what I'm doing I want to make money but I don't have the requirements** and if I do I won't be making a lot of money and I'm worried I'm wasting my time animating for no profit gain and I'm worried my animations look bad but I can't stop because I love my fans so much can I have some advice please.

Please what should I do with my life I'm very confused

On August 10th 2026, YouTube introduced new monetization requirements requiring now doubling requirements from 4k public watch hours to 8,000 and 10 million short views to 20 million. Link

This is a scary thing for inspiring creators who dream of doing YouTube full time or as a side hobby and not everyone has the luxury of making a bunch of long form content without quality being degraded.

If this goes through then YouTube will be making 100% profits from its creators that worked hard to make money while the hard working creators won't see a dime from their videos and will discourage people from making content from their platform.

There is still time to change it, these new updates will come in on February 1st, 2027 and we can work together to prevent this from happening.

Nearly five years of learning blender for me to make this masterpiece

Thanks for the tips Gemini

I wonder what horrific things she said in that stream

If you can’t spell the word guys you shouldn’t be on YouTube let alone uploading videos
