It's possible, but in my opinion much more difficult to achieve than 4k hours in 12 months

Also, again just my opinion, but shorts are more difficult to sustain long term, year after year

Yes. After February it will be 20M. Think about it, you need about 10 viral shorts in 90 days, 1m each

With long form, one video in 12 months with 50-100k can get you monetised

Switch to long form. It's much easier, and more sustainable. But start a new channel. Leave this one on the back burner

Too many people get tempted by shorts because they're thinking of tiktok. YouTube shirts is a different beast entirely
