True, excuse the typo. 4000 hours. Of course this means 80 to max. 120 bucks ad revenue, not very much. But still. It took me a long time to get to that point. It is one thing to raise the bar for new partners. But kicking people out is a whole different issue. Kicking people out is effectively breaking the original deal. So if they broke the deal we made I wonder how that stands in contract law. I agreed to make content. Youtube agreed to provide add money. Well I made the content. I know the terms are really complex and theres probably a lot to protect them in there but it does make me wonder.

(hope this isn't too belligerent, it's early in the morning here, and I'm dealing with little folks) My torch is ready and I have a pitchfork for you too.

I have learned from 'Vee' (a member of the union) that he has experimented with the bots and demonetization; the result being that it's largely unpredictable. On one occasion he uploaded a literal 'cat video' that had no sound with it and I believe that was also found unfit for advertisers. The only conclusion one can come to is that they don't block videos, they block people. Or whole groups of people as we have seen recently.
As for the channel size argument, one view is as good as another to an advertiser. It doesn't matter if it's one of 10 views or one of 10 million. The channel size should have no bearing on how much the creator should be rewarded. Work without pay is slavery and there's no honour in that.
Sure there's an argument against clickbait and rickrolls, but surely that's a great use for the report button and then human confirmation of deception.
Bots are a stop-gap at best, at worst; a scapegoat.
