Exactly this. What kind of nonsense is this X subscriber and watched hours limit? If it earns you a few bucks that's more than nothing, but creating these artificial limits should be banned outright. Plus their algo needs to be butchered down.

It's trying to encourage consistent content creation. Think of it like employee engagement.
That's why there's so many videos that have nothing to say. If you have no content to create it's better not to add to the noise.
This is why I watch maybe 4 creators total. I have the people I trust and ignore everything else; SNR is far too low.
