Today our friends of Google kicked me out of the YouTube partner program. No more monetizing - I dont have 1k subscribers, nor over 4K minutes of watch time.

I was eager to build the new channel, better camera, followed every advice, better thumbnails, etc.
Started doing vids in German - the crowd was lame - did vids with cool gear - nothing happened.

Luckily, I just do this because I enjoy it and am financially independent.
If YouTube still places ads before my vids, although I’m out of the program, this will be lousy.

I still have 30 days to catch up with the requirements, maybe a playing guitar naked vid could help ;-)
