RE: Youtubers Finding a Home on Twitch and Patreon After Youtube Ad Revenue Drops

in #life8 years ago

Very interesting, I'm also considering jumping ship. Youtube recently age-restricted and de-monetised one of my videos, apparently because it shows cannabis consumption. But the whole thing is fishy. For one, my entire youtube channel is focused on cannabis. I only have around 20 videos, and one particular video is by far the most popular (and profitable). Youtube singled out my most profitable video and left the others alone, despite the fact that ALL of my videos feature cannabis consumption. To me, thats a clear indication YT simply don't like us making money of canna-related videos. They are enforcing their personal opinons and beliefs on their users, and doing it by a kind of "back door" means. If they don't want cannabis-related content on YT, they are entitled to that, its their website. But they should just make this a clear policy, so creators can make an informed choice instead of being in a grey area.
