This was sent to me about some changes coming to YouTube.
YouTube Just Dropped Major Global Updates!
If you're a creator, here’s what you need to know:
1. View Count Changes for Shorts:
Starting March 31, 2025, YouTube Shorts will count a view every time the video starts or loops—regardless of how long it’s watched. This new system applies worldwide and aligns YouTube with platforms like TikTok and Instagram. More views, more reach!
2. Easier Monetization Requirements:
Now you can monetize your channel with just 500 subscribers (down from 1,000)! This update is rolling out globally, giving new creators a head start on their content journey.
3. Mandatory AI Content Labels:
All creators must now label AI-generated content to prevent misinformation and impersonation. This policy is global and non-compliance could lead to removal of content or demonetization.
These changes reflect YouTube’s commitment to transparency, creator growth, and platform safety.
Creators, it’s time to adapt and level up!
