The steps that they have taken has both pros and cons. I will benefit on one side and lose on the other side. My main channel gets more ads now since the reuploaders are not getting anything. My second channel with just 250 Subs will lose the monetisation and it is really hard to get 750 subs till 20th FEB.

Dtube is definitely a thing but the fact that you can earn only in first 7 days is a bummer. On youtube otherwise my 3 year old also earns money.
