The Great Roblox Outage happened 5 years ago. The outage lasted from October 28th to October 31st (2021), totaling more than 3 entire days. Before the outage begun, users were encountering issues on the platform before servers crashed. Afterwards, the remaining servers and website either crashed or became dysfunctional. Hours later, Roblox displayed the infamous image stating "We're making things more awesome. Be back soon." -- they were not going to be back soon. Roblox posted nearly 70 hours after the issue begun that regions were gradually being brought back online, and after nearly 73 hours, Roblox posted that Roblox is finally back online. The outage marked the last time Roblox had 0 players, with the previous instance of 0 CCU happening in 2016. While users have speculated that the in-game Chipotle promotion for free burritos running at the time had led to the servers being overloaded and shutting down, Roblox dismissed that rumor. The official cause of the outage was linked to alterations in Roblox's infrastructure, specifically with a streaming feature in the Consul Cluster & BoltDB freelist page manangement.

Now in effect, Roblox no longer allows bot accounts to join games. As a result, Murder Mystery 2 has lost around 500,000 CCUs within 2 hours.

Here’s YouTube explaining their 10 million views within 90 days threshold for Shorts. Their answer is as pathetic as you expected. They just want to take the money that small to mid level creators EARNED and funnel it other places. Thats it, there’s no deeper meaning.

My favorite thing about YT is how unlike other platforms like Tiktok and IG they don't openly and blatantly steal from their creators. This is theft, plain and simple. Creators are earning that money and will no longer be getting paid for it. Absolutely despicable change.

YouTube Partners might start LOSING their Shorts monetization.. Starting Feb 1st 2027, Shorts Ad Revenue gets its own threshold: You'll need to always maintain 10M Shorts views in the last 90 days - Above that: you earn on Shorts - Below that: Shorts revenue pauses - Cross it again: turns back on automatically Long-form revenue keeps paying like normal. Shorts are now a rolling 90-day scoreboard

YouTube is changing who can earn money from the Shorts Creator Pool. Starting on February 1, 2027, creators must average 10M qualified Shorts views over the last 90 days to be eligible.
New Shorts Revenue Sharing Requirements Starting Feb. 1, 2027, to earn ads and Premium revenue each month from the Shorts Creator Pool, creators will need to maintain 10M qualified Shorts views over the last 90 days. If your channel already meets this threshold, you’re unlikely to see changes to your Shorts earnings. Channels below this threshold remain in YPP and continue earning on long-form content, with Shorts revenue sharing automatically resuming once they cross 10M qualified Shorts views again.

If they don’t deliver this right it’s truly such a step back. YouTube Partners carried YouTube Shorts through its building stages just to get kicked out of monetization. Just so that AI slop making brainrot can make more money because it gets 10 million views.

It gets even worse the more you look into it. Aside from doubling the eligibility requirements for new creators, existing YouTube partners will need to maintain 10 million shorts views over a 90-day period in order to keep earning revenue from any shorts.

So after February 2027 if I hit 9.9 million shorts views in 90 days on YouTube will I get $0? If so, that’s THEFT and incredibly unfair. We deserve to be paid for our work and time. And for those saying this is to target ai slop channels, what makes you think they WONT just pump out ai generated content at double the rate to chase that 10 million view mark and in doing so FILL YOUTUBE WITH EVEN MORE AI SLOP!? Sorry for the rant but this change is AWFULL.

Normalize being able to monetize your YouTube channel without having to have the cringe “grind harder bro! Become a full time YouTuber!” If you make the YouTube Partner Program, you should be able to make money off the ads that run on your channel. That’s it.

YouTube doesn't care that you use AI. It cares how you use AI. In 2025 YouTube renamed its "repetitious content" policy to "inauthentic content." Since then, 4.7 billion views have been wiped. Channels with a lack of human input are getting demonetized. Next time you use AI in a video, ask yourself: "Does my video have 50%+ human input? and "Is my opinion in this video original?". If the answer is no, don't upload it.
