YouTube will now block ads on video channel sites with less than 10,000 total views, reports the Wall Street Journal. Pex, an Internet-data firm, estimates 88% of YouTube channels have cumulative views of less than 10,000, representing a mere 5% of the 13.2 trillion views on YouTube for all time. The biggest problem to this move by YouTube's parent company, Alphabet, reports the WSJ, is some of the racist videos have more than the minimum views.
