RE: YouTube Has Nearly Demonetized Me ENTIRELY & Other Independent Medias Are Facing The Same...

in #news7 years ago

My day job company posts product videos about knives. Just short informational videos showing the knife in someone's hand and how it works. Two years ago, we earned about $500 a month from YT. Last month, with about double the number of videos, we earned less than $30. We still shoot the videos because they are helpful for our customers, but it is definitely a censorship thing with them. Anything they don't feel is politically correct gets pushed into the red "no earn" zone. Best of luck with your continued success @joshsigurdson.

Absolutely! By the numbers I got last year, seeing how much more I have today, they demonetized me by 90% and I should be making 10-20 thousand a month. lol They put me down to 1500 to 2000 a month and now they made another move making it impossible for me to make almost any money at all! It's insane.

I think eventually it is going to come around and bite them. By disincentivizing the very people who create the product they "sell" they are going to lose content share over the long haul. I know they are huge, but at some point, creators move to where they are rewarded for their efforts. When that happens, they will tank. It obviously doesn't help you in the short term, but I think at some point someone is going to step up and challenge them directly in the "video delivery and hosting" market. I hope it is Steemit. I can see loads of potential here.

YouTube has never turned a profit, it currently loses 2 billion a year for Google. They are not in this as rational actors, they are just the shadowed hand of the deep state.

I think the best thinig we can do to help bankrupt google entirely, is to use adblocker and encourage everyone you know to use it. By all means continue to use their service, but block that stuff!

Upload 24 hour long videos in high def of nothing just to take up their server space.

haahah :D yeah put on a mic in a box and stream that :D in 16k :D you would need a lot of bandwidth tho good internet, lot's of Hdd and Ram :D so it's a counter investment.

Brave browser does that, firefox is good I suppose If you take some time to get into security and plugins(add-ons)

Other than that, YT went sideways a long time ago, s far they are trying to topple the "status quo" in there, basically shunning politics and any conversation starters, even pewdie :D

google is running on everywhere, get a no script on firefox and you will see.

hahaha that's a funny idea-upload long, blank videos.

yt IS trying to become the new TV, that's why, it's bad to have political opinions and speak your mind, sorry.

That is exactly why I basically abdoned YT and came here. I also earn some crypto on the side from doing stuff on bitcointalk forum, but here is where someone can really grow and get a good following.

I would suggest also using Minds/Blogger/Medium to cross post on to.

Minds is starting to do ads soon or already is for some. Blogger I believe is hooked up to adsense(but at least you can take what you post on steemit and copy/paste it onto blogger for some extra money).

Not sure if a person can make money on Medium.

Disturbing tendency. Topic of many Steemit posts these days. Seems like everything just slightly out of the ordinary is 'censored' in lack of a better word.

it depends on what each individual's idea of normal is.
