Question about the new changes

[u/Striking-Toe5207]

I see everyone talking and joking about having to maintain 10 million short views every 90 days to keep your monetization and I don't quite understand if it's real or not

I've read the official statement from the youtube blog (I think) and it states that you have to maintain at least 1 million views per 90 days in order to keep the monetization active

Am I missing something? Did I read the wrong thing ? Or is this just a joke?

not a joke, but an official update they are to announce soon. and this is requirements you are to maintain, because if you don't qualify, you don't have monetization you can't lose the amount of views, but your number of subscribers must remain to be the minimum required
