Thank you for your thoughtful comments.
I personally have never made more than $185 a month on YouTube. And almost every month now I still make $100 or more.
And none of my videos have been demonetized yet.
But I also don't have a huge following. Nearly all of my views are google/youtube suggested videos. I won't leave as long as YouTube is willing to pay me AND host the videos for free.
And that free hosting is one of THE BIGGEST reasons that nearly all YouTube creators shouldn't leave. At least all with even a medium sized (500+) real loyal following. They can use the YouTube hosting and embed elsewhere. They can get Patreon support that will makeup more than the YT revenue ever could be.
I think its fine for a few confident YT's to make a big stand and leave.... But if they really mean it...they shoyld delete all their videos from YT. Now...that would be dumb. Even if they are all already demonitized. But if they are going to make a stand "I am leaving YouTube" then they should DO IT.
Now you said these demonitized creators or their demonitized videos will still make money for YouTube without having to pay the creators anymore. Is that true? Do they still advertize on videos they said they cant advertize on??? THAT WOULD BE A GOOD NEWS STORY. IF you can document it and prove it!!!
That would show them to be liars indeed.
As it is, I dont watch enough YT to know if they do or don't advertize on demonitized videos.
Do you also cross post to Dtube and receive steem/SBD for the same content? And let your subscribers know another option is available. Might in time become a way better stream of revenue. :-)
Cheers
I have yet to be able to watch a single dtube video. One 2 devices and 1 laptop they have not opened for me. I wont use it until it works with most devises.
I have used the dsound ipfs and that works fine for me.
My youtube videos are so diverse that i only have about 25 active subs(out of 2000). And I dont post with regularity. But I have vids from 1.5 years ago that still get hundreds of views a day. YouTube suggests them under other related videos.
If interested...my link is on my cover page. Lots of Fossils, treasure hunting. Nature. Spiders. And then random other stuff.
Is this codyinpanama?
Yes, that's me. I opened a zap only account to beta test and put on my phone.
I may merge the 2 later but thought zaps and blogs should be seperate. Only time will tell :-)
I already find myself cross posting, because I can't reply at zappl.com yet and sometimes forget which account I'm on. Probably get my phone online and download the Android app soon, then this will be sorted out.
Cheers
