Yeah they just doubled it and called a day.

Does it affect your channel?

I will most likely meet the current requirements until February.

But I'm really sad for those who are starting now. 4.000 Hours is a very tough road already, 8.000 looks impossible for channels with 1k subscribers. 20 million short views is even worse.
