YouTube has now taken it to far by adding a section of "qualifications" to have a Custom URL for your channel.. In my own opinion, and many others, this is a horrible decision considering it is limiting the creativity of the content creators that are coming to YouTube everyday! Lets show YouTube how we feel as a community!

YouTube thinks they can gatekeep our creativity behind arbitrary rules while ignoring the people who actually build their platform. Their silence is a pathetic attempt to wait us out but we are not going anywhere.

The entire concept of having to have 500 subscribers to get a URL is a bit of an oxymoron. How are the channels that need it the most supposed to grow in the first place?

I completely agree! 500 subs for to change your URL? Im a small youtube trying to make vids but my account still has the old URL i dont want!

These qualifications really dishearten me. Websites like Facebook and Soundcloud allow for custom url's yet Youtube doesn't? It doesn't make any sense, and I sincerely hope that this policy changes. I implore anyone reading this comment to sign and share. It'd mean a lot to me. If this petition doesn't work then it'd be disadvantageous to up-and-coming Youtubers everywhere.

How are we supposed to get 500 subscribers without a custom URL.

YouTube isn't what it was a couple years ago, it's just fucked up now.
