The 500-subscriber checkpoint
YouTube describes an earlier-access route for eligible creators. It combines 500 subscribers, three public uploads in the previous 90 days, and either the long-form watch-hour or Shorts-view requirement.
Availability and features vary by country.
The 1,000-subscriber checkpoint
The full advertising-revenue route pairs 1,000 subscribers with 4,000 valid public watch hours in the previous 12 months or 10 million valid public Shorts views in 90 days. Shorts-feed watch time does not count toward the 4,000-hour route.
Check your YPP progressWhat the numbers do not prove
A threshold does not prove originality, policy compliance, audience satisfaction, or eligibility of every view. YouTube reviews the channel.
Track Earn-tab data rather than assuming every public counter contributes.
YPP milestone comparison

Dodatkowe pytania
Odpowiedzi, które pomogą Ci wybrać kolejny krok.
Do purchased subscribers count toward YPP?
Do not assume so. Artificial or invalid activity can be removed and eligibility is determined by YouTube.
Which watch route should I track?
Track long-form public watch hours and valid Shorts views separately; they are not interchangeable.
