Is YouTube Making It Harder To Monetize?

YouTube has been making changes lately and some of them are a little concerning. It feels like each of these changes makes it just a little more difficult for creators to monetize off platform. With some of the changes it seems YouTube gets positioned as the monetization solution and it's making me uncomfortable enough that I wanted to talk about it. DISCLAIMER: The things I talk about in this video are just some things I've noticed that are concerning to me as it feels like a slow squeeze.
