 YouTube has just informed us that there is an upcoming update to their platform that will affect every single YouTuber out there. Have you heard about this? And we have a new winner on today's $100,000 sponsorship for our small channels powered by Freedom. Let's go. YouTube vanity URLs will be changing in the next few weeks. So what's changing? YouTube's current channel URL is www.youtube.com slash user slash your channel name. They will be changing this to www.youtube.com slash c slash your channel name. Once you claim your new vanity URL, this will be your primary format that you can use to share on social media and other things. So don't freak out. All of your current URLs will still work once these changes go into effect, but you will still need to claim your name for this new format. So how do you claim your new vanity URL? YouTube will be sending out notifications via email and your creator dashboard. All you need to do is follow the link that they provide and you can claim your new URL. And yes, since this is new, basically all URL names are going to be up for grabs. YouTube will be sending these notifications out in batches based on tenure on YouTube and your number of subscribers. For many of you, YouTube has already reserved the name that is currently used on your channel so others can't steal it away from you. And for everyone else out there, these new custom URLs are now going to be limited to channels that have over 500 subscribers in our 30 days old. Your channel must also have an avatar and a channel banner. So are you guys excited for these changes? Tell us in the comments below. And we have a new winner today.
