This sub needs a MAJOR overhaul.
This sub needs to follow a similar flair structure to /r/AskDocs, where people have to prove they are in the YPP via the flair system (the current one here works well, the one that shows sub-count etc.), and anyone that doesn't is automatically assigned a flair saying "Layperson/not verified as YouTube partner" - I am fed up with the sheer amount misinformation and guesswork that the comments on the threads here have. They are actively giving terrible advice.
I have lost count of the number of times I have read "don't put a business email on your channel because all sponsor offers are scams" like WTAF.
There are also FAR too many threads from people that really belong in /r/newtubers (e.g. "I normally get 150 views per video, now I get only 10), and I see a lot of threads from people who are looking for advice for "starting out".
The tidal wave of people posting about the burden of needing 8,000 watch-hours per year was the final straw - if you cannot get 8k views on a 1 hr video then you would not be making any meaningful income on YouTube anyway.
Other subjects similarly have awful advice and recommendations, to the point where it is clear that the vast majority of commenters here are not actually YouTube partners at all.
This is not meant to be a discouraging "rant" against those just starting out, I wish the best of luck to you, but this sub is supposed to be for partnered YouTubers and the overwhelming majority of posts are not appropriate.
