Old YouTube Partner Program requirements:

New YouTube Partner Program requirements:
- 3,000 Watch Hours (Longform Only)
- 500 Subscribers
- 3 Million Shorts Views
The number of subscribers was halved as a result of the additional criteria. Users of short films will also be happy to see the 7 million view decrease, which makes it much simpler to accomplish.
In order to use tools for tipping like Super Thanks, Super Chat, and Super Stickers, subscription mechanisms like channel subscriptions, and the opportunity to market their own merchandise with YouTube Shopping, artists must hit a new level. If they do, they may apply to join YPP.
The requirement of three videos uploaded every 90 days is fascinating since, despite receiving millions of views, video producers could not have enough content to produce numerous videos in that time.
This new qualifying standard is being used by YouTube in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Taiwan, and South Korea. Later, it will expand to additional nations where YPP is offered.
