3 Recommended Answers 213 Replies 1368 Upvotes Youtube imposed new restrictions on users: "To be able to live stream on mobile, your channel will need to have at least 1,000 subscribers."
Why Youtube did that? What is the reason to limit creators that are using mobile devices?

This just keeps raising the bar so no one can enjoy doing anything on this platform.
I'm hanging it up. These people running this place are completely against the small creators.

Fine work YouTube, way to screw people who use your service for legitimate reasons. We have 67 subs for our race team, you just screwed all of us you use live streaming for that. Not that you care, you sell our data anyways

We’re regularly reevaluating our eligibility requirements and decided to raise the threshold for live streaming on mobile. Creators who have less than 1,000 subscribers will still be able to live stream through desktop and webcam.

Terrible new policy. I really enjoyed live streaming from my small channel and interacting with my subscribers. I am now looking for other options.

This is unfair policy for us small youtubers. I usually rely on my mobile phone to interact with my subscribers and greet them live.

Fuck all yaw. You just make it worse. You would rather upset people who are just starting their channel. There is zero, ZERO REASON TO IMPOSE THIS. Madders in fact why don't you just do the same for computer right. Yeah because I'm going to buy a 2000 dollar laptop so I can suit your policy. And thank you I wanted to do this. Because we all know that your trash and you know what your doing and you do it anyways. You sell us out like you do small business. You favor there people who have been posting longer than us. But you won't change this because you have all the power. And you think you can just do whatever you want without thinking. And it's bullshit. So here's the hath reality. We are all pretty much saying FUCK YOU in the kindest way possible.
