YouTube Partner Program: lower entry tier shown on the YouTube Creators page
YouTube's Creators 'Earn' page answers 'How many subscribers do I need to get paid?' with smaller numbers than the help page above.
Requirements as stated on the source
- 500 subscribers and 3 public uploads (past 90 days) and either:
- 3,000 valid watch hours on long-form videos (past 365 days), or
- 3M valid Shorts views (past 90 days).
Process
Not described in the excerpt we read.
Notes and caveats
- A YouTube help troubleshooter says the expanded program offers 'earlier access to fan funding features (like channel memberships, Super Thanks, Super Chat, and more) and the ability to promote your own products with YouTube Shopping', and lists the countries where it has fully rolled out. We did not capture a per-feature breakdown.
- The 3-uploads-in-90-days condition is not modeled in the checker below.

How we read it: official page read in full by the agent (Creators page); troubleshooter seen as search excerpt. Rules change; confirm on the program's own page. This page has no affiliate links.
