Youtube monetization update...a silent end to quick money

so youtube recently updated monetization. if and why is unclear to me when the rules used to be far less strict. now you need 4000 hours of watch time or 3000. which isnt bad if your a streamer. i guess youtube is at a point its growth demands a creator. still theres something about the door just being open. when you can just sign up for something no strings attached. that was the youtube that got me payed. now im seeing a need to figure out google adsense for websites just to get that same door. so i have to figure it out again. blog posts seem like tiny videos in readable form to put myself out there with meta data like this. maybe it will pick up. and i can report hiphop news or anything along the way. which is what i was doing already. but then wix blogs updated. and i had so much stuff like topics on weed legalization. Big disclaimer. success is not a guaranty. i am a rapper writing. im just not rhyming at the moment. i go by youngtext. disclaimer weed became legal where i live but theres some downsides. i might talk about it later. dont do anything illegal.
