Has Any Large Channel Here Hit The "Magic Watch Time" Number?

I Love YTtalk
YouTube channel owners who have 30K hours or more of watch time in the 90 days preceding, are entitled to direct support from YouTube Admin as I understand it. Please, you who are experts here correct me if I am wrong. 30K/month in watch time hours is also one of the requirements for YouTube Certification.

I think I've seen at least one YouTube Certified badge on this site. 30,000 hours equals 1,800,000 watch time minutes, and I'd like to know how to get there myself. Give us your watch time secrets as replies to this thread.

I thought you needed a certain no. of subscribers to get personal support? Has this changed or am I just wrong (very possible)?

That may be another requirement; also they leave network partners to be supported by their network. Will check on that and I hope someone who knows the subject better than I do replies; that is why I started the thread!
 
I don't consider myself to be a large channel- ( medium maybe ) but yes, I have surpassed that view time and I have access to private YouTube support via email.

It basically gives me the option when I click on "help" at the bottom of the screen:

When I click on that, I can fill in a form which sends an email to Youtube and they usually reply within 24 hours. The quality of the response isn't always that great though. Often as a first reply, they will link to articles in their knowledge base. It's only when you tell them that you've read all that and still have a problem, that they escalate the issue or look at it more closely.

Hm. We have exactly the same option with a little bit more than 17k hours for the last 90 days (our main channel).

I guess this is called to be "big in Japan" :)
 
@ Crown Seeing as how you cannot get Verified status without at least 100K in subscribers, I would consider myself tiny compared to you.

I too have the watch time and have access to the email button, I found them very helpful when I emailed them recently! They were able to change my custom URL even though I already had the permanent URL. So now I have the URL i want! :)
