YouTube now requires creators to have twice as many watch hours to start earning money

Why I just push Patreon or another platform fuck trying to earn money through YouTube that worthless.
There is peertube as well, but it lacks monetization. And Patreon is not the answer because not many will bother paying each creator separately (it at all). To me subscription sounds like an ideal solution, but of course, not YouTube.
Especially as someone paid in a currency weaker than the dollar with a lower salary than I’d have in the US, I can’t even afford to do this if I wanted to. I do still subscribe to Nebula which has many creators I like
