具体来看，新规将 YPP 的申请门槛从现有的 1000 名订阅者、且过去 12 个月内累积 4000 小时的有效公开观看时长，或过去 90 天内获得 1000 万次 Shorts 短视频观看量的标准，上调至仍需 1000 名订阅者，但长视频的观看时长要求翻倍至 8000 小时。关于 Shorts 短视频的替代性盈利门槛，The Verge 的报道原文在此处截断，未提供完整的数字细节。
这一政策变动延续了 YouTube 近年来逐步收紧盈利资格的趋势。平台通常会将此类调整解释为旨在激励高质量内容创作、并更好地将广告资源分配给真正具备持续影响力的频道。然而，对于众多处于起步阶段或依赖长尾流量的小型创作者而言，观看时长要求的翻倍无疑将显著拉长他们实现内容变现的周期。此次调整仅影响新申请加入 YPP 的频道，已加入合作伙伴计划的频道是否会受到追溯影响，原文未提供相关信息。

Starting February 1st, 2027, creators who want to monetize their channel through YouTube's Partner Program (YPP) will need at least 1,000 subscribers and either 8,000 qualified watch hours over the past year, or 20 million qualified Shorts views in the last 90 days. That's a sizeable jump from YouTube's current requirement of 1,000 subscribers with 4,000 watch hours in the past year, or 1,000 subscribers with 10 million Shorts views in the last 90 days. Creators will also need to maintain 10 million Shorts views over 90 days to earn money from the Shorts Creators Pool, though falling below this threshold won't result in removal from YPP.
