Is YouTube Slowly Reducing Our Ability To Monetize?

YouTube has been making changes lately and some of them are a little concerning. It feels like each of these changes makes it just a little more difficult for creators to monetize off platform.

DISCLAIMER: The things I talk about in this video are just some things I’ve noticed that are concerning to me as it feels like a slow squeeze.
