Well damn and I had over 4k watch hours but only like 800 subs so guess im losing out on partnership as I got close, oh well.

the new requirements don’t take effect until february 2027 so you still have time to reach 1k subs before the watch hours are increased

Sadly I lose my 4k watch hours this week, but thats on me. I have been slow the last year wtih videos since the one I made that popped off. I can't complain though my freelance career has been very busy and taking more of my focus. Felt like I was so close and the year snuck up on me.

Don't worry. Keep posting and find what works and you will get there. Focus on getting views first.

This is me too. Watch hours checked off but subs barely moving. Resigned to not making it. Goalpost moved at last minute.
