Meadows Mill and 6 HP M


Back To The Old Grind! Video by Jeff Boyer

YouTube has changed their rules for monetizing again, and the new policy is a killjoy for hobbyists who share their videos.  You now must have 1100 subscribers to qualify for monetizing, and you may not be allowed to monetize a video until it has 1000 views.  A typical engine video will get 20 to 50 views in a day right after you post it, and then it may keep going or it may not get views for a long time.  Post regularly, and some of your videos will get a lot of views.  Some might get 50 in a year; you never know. The little checks YouTube sends to your bank account are great encouragement to keep sharing what we see at engine shows, and it makes the hobby more enjoyable.  If you like engine videos, please subscribe to the channels of the guys who make them and check them regularly to see what they post.  It doesn't cost you a thing and you will be encouraging them to keep posting videos for all to enjoy.  To see who posted a video and to subscribe, all you have to do is click the YouTube logo on the lower bar of the video when it plays. The Subscribe button will be below the right side of the video.

So YT has found yet another way to keep all of the money from their advertisers?

Jeff Boyer, the fellow who posted this one has only 92 subscribers, so he needs 1000 more before YT will let him monetize. The new policy will be a discouragement for newbies, that's for sure.
