Youtube Partner Program

I don't know why everybody wants to be a YT partner.
Youtube is for entertaining people and not for getting money.

People often think that a banner is the difference between being cool and pro, and not being any of that. But you are right, it's quite a delusion.

They don't realize what they are getting themselves into either. There are a lot more restrictions for partners than for anyone else who just produces videos.

Quite recently one of the biggest Dutch partners got de-partnered for obviously breaking the guidelines and apparently he now doesn't know what to do with his life because he can't make money with his videos anymore. Instead, he made videos about getting de-partnered in which he broke five times as many rules as he did before, and that while he seriously wants take YouTube to court for it.

People should be happy with the opportunity, but they shouldn't actually expect to get it or to keep it for the rest of their lives. Don't stop school and don't stop going out in the real world because you think you found your future in front of your camera or the computer monitor.
