It's a bit harder to meet on youtube vs twitch which is why Twitch is a preferred by many new en streamers.
1) Within the last 12 montsh (rolling) you need to have 4000 hours of content being watched.
2) At least 1000 Followers
3) Linked Adsense
4) Have a history of following the rules (IE. no copyright strikes, videos that violate terms of service, no breaking community rules, ect.) and live in a region where its legal to due.
After that its applying and youtube has to go over things and approve it. This can take forever if you aren't part of a company/a company thats not retable/part of a part of a company that don't make as much.
