YouTube will double the requirements for monetizing content starting February 1, 2027. This will affect new content creators, who will need to achieve higher view counts to benefit from advertisements and subscriptions.

Under the new regulations, existing participants in the monetization program will not be affected, allowing them to continue operating under the previous conditions, as reported by vc.ru and Habr.
