Losing My Youtube Partnership

  Sorry I got all blank on you guys for a few days. Honestly I wasn't sure what to say and I had no motivation to say it. I got a lovely email from Youtube saying I'll be losing my partnership if I don't get 4,000 viewing hours in the next thirty days. I'm assuming this will be a 4,000 hours a month type of thing, and I'm just not that popular. That's just too much pressure for me since I just started back to making videos. I felt pretty upset.
   I don't make a lot of money from Youtube, so it's not that. It's the years that I worked on my videos. It's the multiple times I applied to become partner. It's the celebration in my mind when I finally accomplished that goal! I don't care much about having ads on my videos or being put on the homepage randomly. I do care about my videos, I do have a bad taste in my mouth about this new stipulation. I knew things would start changing. Youtube stopped being about the people a long time ago, and I miss it.  Youtube was a huge community and everyone would talk to each other and collab together. That was the whole fun of it. 
      I'm not sure what this means for my long videos. I know being a partner allowed me to post longer videos and I'm not sure if this now means they will be removed. I haven't had it in me to actually read all the new guidelines.  I guess once I do if necessary I may need to remove these videos. I'll post a few of the long ones below and I might update my website so I can just post the videos here instead.
What are your thoughts on this? Is anyone else getting the youtube reject email? Update it looks like old videos will be grandfathered in.  I don't believe they will remove them, just wont monetize them.
