we too got that same email.... after two years of trying to do what we can to just make a few pennies per vid to help pay for equipment and now this.... They seemed to forget their roots...... looking into next steps to take.....Thanks for the sharing. God Bless!
At this time, I would recommend Dtube. It seems to be the only other option for making some amount of money on videos while (more importantly) offering certainty of freedom of speech.
Thanks. I will be checking it out!
