I'm just sitting here wondering how far YouTube will go to make the site "Ad Friendly" with all these changes lately. At this rate it wouldn't surprise me if the YouTube Partner Program went back to it's original form, where it was invite only for a select few creators.

But this also highlights the need for creators to diversify their revenue. Don't just rely on YouTube. Offer T-Shirts. Take sponsorships. Open a Patreon. Start streaming on Twitch. Try to get to that point where the majority of your revenue comes from sources outside YouTube.
