1] I know the rainforest is (though not likely as much as it once was) a place with lots of tress, which provide fruits & things, not to mention oxygen.

2] They don't want to admit they know you.

I wish science had a way to cure whatever is wrong with your brain, but I think we'll have working warp drives first.

If there was a brain for you to have something wrong with, you might understand they can't fix what is wrong with my brain, as there is nothing wrong with it.

You gotta wonder why nobody has seriously tried, to offer an alternative to youtube. I know vidme got shut down not too long ago, but even that was not what I would call serious.

Somebody with bigmoneyz, needs to come in and slap kiketube in the anus.

It should still be more controlled, you really should have people who personally seek out worthy and new talent. People with charisma, a real message, instead of the tens of thousands of youtube videos currently littering youtube featuring ugly transvestites and attention whoring sex offenders (Onision).

Youtube also needs to look at the disparity between actual subscribers and youtube videos. How can you have 10-20 thousand subscribers, yet only pull in 3,000 views. Hell, there's some channels with almost 90 thousand subscribers that only pull in 5-10 thousand views at the most.

I've been on Youtube long enough to remember when there was zero expectation of monetary compensation. There were a few creators who'd maybe sell some t-shirts or other small merchandise but most people did it because they wanted to express themselves and their talent to the world, and that in itself was its own reward.

I miss those days.

Yeah, at the end of the day there's a way you can get ads on your media on most platforms and you pocket all the money. Get off your ass and hustle up some sponsors who actually want to sponsor your shit.
It's really hard to do because it's an actual job as opposed to hoping that money poofs out of the aether as you yell at your webcam about how the capeshit movie sucks or whatever.
 
So a 20 minute weekly vid, with 250 full views on each one, and 1000 subscribers is all you need?

if you can't meet those criteria you really shouldn't be acting entitled to any money from it.
 
last week: "I'm not in it for the money, I just enjoy making videos!"
this week: "OMG THEY'RE DEMONETIZING MY CHANNEL! GIMME MONEY OR I'M QUITTING YOUTUBE FOREVER!!!!!"
I swear, absolutely everyone I know who's affected by this, who always claimed they're "not in it for the money" is now reacting this way. Even people who upload like 4 videos a year and barely made enough money in total for a meal at a mediocre restaurant.

YouTube was never about making money, it was for average people to share videos on the internet. The partnership program ruined the essence of YouTube.
In fact, when the partnership program was first created, the requirements were a LOT more strict than they are now. They should be happy that YouTube didn't return to the original system.
 
This is the biggest welfare reform since Bill Clinton was president. :story:

Hopefully this is a high enough bar for entry that it will spook off some of the people who don't give a fuck about the actual vids and churn out endless shitty videos just hoping for cash.

I haven't ever been to Turkey, though I'm guessing you've also never been in a Turkish prison (unless that is what you call it when the hand you used to trace in school gets stuck in someone's rear end).

What were the original requirements like?

You had to have a bunch of views, subs, no copyright strikes IIRC, and then YouTube had to manually vet you. These were the earlier partners, the ones partnered directly with YouTube. Then there was the "Network partnership", these were channels that partner networks (groups of partnered channels) would add and they had requirements of their own. For example TGN (A BBTV brand) needed 1k daily views, 15 videos, a month old account, and nothing with copyrighted content whatsoever (They'd manually vet your channel first). At around that time YouTube also had their own "Revenue Sharing" program which was quite shitty, and after giving partner privileges to nearly everyone they ended up renaming it the "Partner Program" and dropping the old one from their site. It's famous for notoriously low payouts, demonetization for any reason they see fit, and at one point even adsense bans.

Also if you're at the very top of the YouTube chart you'd get special treatment, it's how the AVGN got unbanned multiple times when he got accidentally banned. Of course after advertiser pullouts and a bunch of "Do SOMETHING PLEASE" articles from the media about YouTube even they're feeling a squeeze now, which is why they're moving to Twitch or turning on things such as "Super Chat"
 
it's funny to me how all these youtubers are making entitled ass posts going on about how they have a right to be paid for they content they put out.
like okay. you want to get paid for your hard work?
leave the platform and go get a real job.

i don't think, even before all these ad issues, youtube is a reliable source of income. any form of internet popularity is fickle and can go away as quickly as it came.
