YouTube Finally Changed the Monetization Requirements | Monetization 2023 | Ypp 2023 New Rules
Last year we shared that big updates were coming to the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), and since then we’ve been working on features to help you build deeper connections with your fans, grow your channel, and start earning even earlier. Now we’re expanding the program, giving you earlier access to features like channel memberships, Super Chat, Super Thanks, and the ability to promote your own products with YouTube Shopping, by offering a new level of YPP.

We’re starting to roll out this new level of YPP to creators in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Taiwan, and South Korea over the coming weeks. We plan on introducing this new level of YPP across all countries where YPP is available, so subscribe to this post for updates on our expansion!
