YouTube Increases Use of Video Outlink Thresholds: 10,000+ Channel Views Needed

Recently, YouTube, a world-renowned video site, announced that it is necessary to increase the video link threshold. It is necessary to join the YouTube Partner project in order to add a link, and requires the video host to have more than 10,000 public clicks on the channel after the application is submitted. This means that the user is trying to link to a crowdfunding project or other external website in the uploaded YouTube video, and the required threshold and requirements are higher.

A YouTube spokesperson stated that the adjustment of these policies was mainly aimed at curbing the abuse of these link information before the website was reviewed. Similar to the changes made by YouTube in the past, these changes have caused some users to have negative suspicions that YouTube intends to block links to the Patreon project. However, the spokesman stressed that this adjustment is not directed at any particular website.

This adjustment has fundamentally increased the threshold for users to insert advertisements into YouTube videos. Only if the number of channels watched exceeds 10,000, the link can be allowed to insert, and the video will be profitable. From YouTube, this change should be to prevent users from uploading copyrighted material, or stealing video resources from other YouTube users, and earn rewards from it.
