Well it's commendable that you want to try and ride out what is happening there, I wanted to do the same but with all the support I got from VidMe, the excellent community here and now that I'm earning from my posts here I've all but left YouTube behind. It just isn't worth my time, they have absolutely no intention of making YouTube friendly to creator's like us, which is unfortunate. They've forgotten that it's the creator's that made it great in the first place :-(
