  • koolbeans.

  • This is one of the only honest videos about youtube partnership I've seen.

    It's almost like a secret society. The information about it is so scarce.

  • Is That An Easy Button In The Background =D

  • We do Asian marriage service now lushfmlk.info

  • hi,ive have been accepted for revenue share on one of my videos.could i ask you how successful your partership has been.enjoyed this video it gave me some insight into the sharing programme.thanks

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you for the info, it was helpfull, blessings.

  • Very informative. Thanks!

  • I don't know if they do it by views, that would be so awesome... I know a few youtubers who are partners that get 15 cents per comment and a little less per rate, and a certain amount per view... I should ever be so lucky. I have one that's being approved for sharing, but reading the legal docs were a pain.

  • @PhantomLyric I really have no idea what they go by. I have a very crappy video with 14,000 views that was given the option for revenue sharing. Weird.

  • @madpaintbalerx By now I have about 8. I have never seen one cent from Google and they've been up for a year. Google shows my earnings from my blogs but in the youtube section it's blank and has always been. I'm positive at least ONE person has clicked, even if by accident. I'm mad that someone claimed copyright to one of my videos falsely and it has over 40,000 views but I can't put ads on it. Even though the person didn't prove their case! I hate it.

  • @PhantomLyric Yeah, all this crap with Googletube, I just miss the way things were when Google didn't own the whole thing.

  • eggggggzakly!

  • @PhantomLyric 15 cents per comment far out that is insane!!!!!!!!!! and a thumb up 10 cents? sheeeeeet and even a cent per view.... man just make a video that everyone hates you for and get a million views and you are doing well

  • so i just signed up for revenue sharing for one of my videos.....what do they give you 1 cent for every 100 views or what?

  • I wouldn't want to be a partner. I'm just not mainstream enough. To me, that's a good thing...

  • Donating money from partnership is a very kind and warm-hearted. Good on you.

  • I'm sorry, but the partnership program is anything but fair, I've applied to be one several times but receive the generic "you don't have enough interesting and unique videos" blurb each time, I'm the 14th most subbed comedian on YT, and I have more videos and views than the people below me, yet they ARE partners.

    And its obviously not an issue with copyright either as Revver are more than happy to upload them AND pay me in the process, infact, Revver have fallen over themselves to help me.

  • Youtube come across as bullies who snub and treat users who don't fit in their "clique" like dirt.

    JamesNintendoNerd is a prime example of poor treatment on users.

  • You deresrve it , dear! big hug grandpa

  • That's wonderful, you deserve it and it's wonderful that you were convinced in such a positive way.

  • You're the man.!!

  • Well, I guess you will have to break out that piano keyboard and create your own 'original' music for youtube now! LOL!

  • glad you hopped on board the youtube partner train, that was easy ;)

  • rock on grandad !!!!!

  • You[re quite the busy fellow! Bet in your wildest dreams 2yrs ago you would never have believed you were going to be this popular & so involved in so many adventures?????! Mary

  • Sir Peter, I'm Still With You! Thanks to you, I'm now helping a new friend learn to use her computer, email, surf the internet, and next is your videos! She's 74 yrs. old, and is thrilled with the possibilities. I know nothing of what you speak in this video, but I hope ya make a bunch of $, and have a great time doing it! Morel mushrooms are coming on well here, (central U.S.). Hope you got to enjoy some there! Best wishes!

  • I pay attention. I enjoy your videos.

  • Just wanted to let you knwo that you can break copyright all you want , but you can't put an advert next to it :)

  • obviously you are not doing it for the money, so I do not think you are doing anything wrong, there are YT people who change their videos just to earn money.

  • i wish he was my grandpa lol

  • I'm looking forward to hearing your news on the Google event in the future!

  • Your videos are always thoughtful. Nobody ever erected a statue of a critic.

  • Why become a partner when you do not get more freedom with youtube.

  • RAWR!

    God Save The Queen!

  • Peter sold us out

  • Well he is not the first. Money corrupts.

  • Hey, great to see ya and hear about what is happening, thanks. You're one of the few partners that I will not unsubscribe to - so many sound so pompous now... it started with "jack" (i.e., another pretty face) and has trickled through... I think revenue sharing is a great idea though and whatever you receive you deserve, but if you choose to share it, then kudos to you, sir!

  • I find this all good info. Please tell me more as soon as you are allowed too. Thanks

  • ignore, thumb down and spam donutholes

    definitely do NOT react to his "comments"

    report him to YouTube

    attention is what he wants

    GIVE HIM ABSOLUTELY NONE!

  • Congratulations on the partnership. Everyone has a right to change their mind. You will probably get some shit from some people, but don't let it bother you. You did the right thing telling everyone up front, so the rumors couldn't get started. I hate all the restrictions though. I have a charity for you... the huey and tom travel fund. :)

  • Face it Peter! You're a star, and bless your heart, you're one of the few who deserve it!

  • hey, Peter, good to see your opinion!

    the image quality is pretty, but I still hope you can upload in 640 x 480 so we can see it in higher quality : D

  • pretty *good*

  • I think that its brilliant that you have got recognition. :D

  • Good vlog!

  • nice easy button on the desk to the right

  • More power to you, Peter! I'm glad to see that YouTube is still recognizing your work and loyalty. Best of luck to you and I hope it's a very complimentary working relationship for all!!

  • bless you peter...

  • Man you people out there hating on this guy got to give it a rest. Jealousy and envy will get you nothing.

  • It was only a matter of time before the corperate bastards decided to make money out of your online success... sad....

  • Your a youtube partner but where is your banner on top of your channel?

  • You're one of my heroes!

    I really enjoyed this video.

  • Lurv that necktie!

    It's so...

    Austin Powers!

    LOL!

    Cheers, ate!

    ER

  • haha at 5:30 i laughed at when you said coool...man your the best youtuber ever

  • looks like the pic at the start of this video is clipped in

  • badly

  • why does my reply go in the wrong place?

    anyway good vid, glad that Google/youtube has a human side. If they are throwing crumbs to their top vloggers all the better.

  • your reply is in the correct place. When you first do a reply to a comment and refresh the page you will see it at the top, but if you then scroll to the bottom of the page and click on 'all comments' you will then find it has gone to the appropriate position.

  • I see, thanks :_D

  • was that a reply to my comment?:S

  • Yes, about the picture clipped in "badly"

  • The reply "badly" was a reply to an earlier response, I don't know why it went to the head of the page, this is my response to my own "badly" response, lets see where it goes, if it goes to the head again youtube need to review their response system. I am very pro Peter, and like I've said before, good luck.

  • Your views at the time were justified, and now they are justified. I feel you made the right decision. I wish you the best of luck!

  • ignore, thumb down and spam donutholes

    do NOT react to his "comments"

    report him to YouTube

    attention is what he wants

    GIVE HIM ABSOLUTELY NONE!

  • You are absolutely right. He is trying to ruin other peoples lives, because of his horrible life.

  • your so nice peter

  • That was when Renetto attacked Peter. Peter had every right to reply. This was a long time ago, why are you bringing this up?

  • ignore, thumb down and spam donutholes

    do NOT react to his "comments"

    report him to YouTube

    attention is what he wants

    GIVE HIM ABSOLUTELY NONE!

  • Great vid Peter ;)

  • Excelente clip, bela apresentação, um abraço do Rio de Janeiro, Carlos.

  • Yes, I remember that video. No need to rehash it. Peter is definitely a chameleon.

  • And you're a coward hiding behind a sock puppet making nasty comments because you know that you are inferior to everyone else. We should really pity you, but, nah, just rot and blow away.

  • I am not a coward, but I will not use my real account to make these points. As you know YouTube is a gossip cesspool and that is why you will never see any well known YouTubers leaving critical comments. Well maybe Blunty used to. But my point is a fair one I think. You know Peter as well as anyone and did he not say in his early videos he would never talk to the media, never profit from his videos, did not get paid for the Christmas video, etc? Maybe I held Peter I too high a pedastol?

  • If anyone is a coward it is you. You left YouTube for LiveVideo, you block those whose opinions you don't except and you make physical challenges to other YouTubers 1000s of miles away. And to think I once respected you. You are a true waste. It is really ashame.

  • Peter has never profited from anything he's done here, every thing he has done has been for altrusitc reasons. He did NOT want the media attention but it came anyway, whether he wanted it or not so he made a choice to try to use that attention to help others and that's all he has ever done. Peter did not get paid for the Christmas video either, that's old news and doesn't need to be explained again. He's been paid NOTHING so far and works harder than most people just to try to help other seniors

  • I know he said he did not get paid for the Christmas video and I never disputed that. But why take money now? Really, he never made any money from his singing? Who paid for his trip to the U.S. Remember way back what he said about YouTube? Apparently not. If the videos are still up I may go back and edit some of that material together to defend what I am saying.

  • You go right ahead and try to defend what you're saying, you'll look even more the fool. Peter's trip to the U.S. was covered by the people who brought him here to speak, it had NOTHING AT ALL to do with YouTube it was about the AARP. He's paid his own way, out of pocket, for a number of his other trips to speak to people about "Silver Surfers", the man ia a freakin' living Saint and you're trying to paint him as a sell-out, you're nuts!

  • Since almost no one watches this channel or reads these comments anymore, it really makes no difference what I am saying here so I will stop. As for Peter being a saint, I will let his actions speak to that issue. Now why don't you back to your camera and put up some decent videos again?

  • Argentium009, leave this man alone.

    Now!

  • LOL you just said "Argentium009 leave this man alone, now!" But did you know that Argentium009 is the guy who runs and looks after Peter's website? They are good friends and you just told him to leave Peter alone lol, it seems no one realises it either because 7 people agreed with you.

  • And why were you singled out to be an original (and higher compensated) partner? By that time, you video views were not among even the top 100. I thought you said you would never profit from your contributions to YouTube. I think money corrupts. But I would love to hear your explanation.

  • He did give you the explanation, if you paid any attention, which you did not, not that he owes you or anyone else ANY explanation. If you don't like it, nobody is blocking the exits, go away.

  • In my opinion his explanation was pretty lame. I am sure I am not the only one who thinks so. Again, I think I held Peter on to high a pedestal and I take the blame for that. Another YouTuber who similarly let me down was MadV who is a total sellout.

  • His explanation made perfect sense to anyone who paid attention You obviously did not listen when he said he'd give the money to charity. Clearly you're not paying attention or just want to be a hater. You don't know the whole story, you have NO right to judge Peter at all.

  • Actually, he said he might give the money to charity but that it was not our business. But apparently it was our business before. I am not just looking at what he said in this one video. I am talking about the things he said in his first 10-20 videos where he talked about his approach to YouTube. Granted I have not watched many of his videos in the last year or so there may be more to explain this, but something has definitely changed. I have nothing against Peter, but I am disappointed.

  • Yes PLENTY has changed and since you've not bothered to look at those changes why are you now bothering to be nasty about it? Peter was inundated with requests (sometimes more than requests, sometimes a foot in the door and calls at all hours) from the media. I personal have dealt with a ton of those requests for him so I know full well the amount of crap he has had to put up with. He has taken NOTHING for all the hard work he has done, NOT A RED PENNY for ANY of it.

  • You are right; I did not stop watching regularly some time ago like most of his other subs. Whether he has profited or not, I doubt you would really know. But if he had not given out personal information to someone, he would not have been bothered. I have been interviewed by the media but I never told them who I am on YouTube on my main account so it has never been a problem and I have been never been or ever will be a partner.

  • In what way was it lame? What part of "I'm going to give the money to charity" is lame to you? Do you have a problem with charity? Is that what's wrong? You think charity is evil? Your expectations were too high, you expected him to, what, steal candy from babies instead?

  • Lame? I was not referring to giving money to charity. I was referring to why he was becoming a paid partner, and it was only my opinion. In any event, my expectations were too high and if he needs the money or wants the money I just wish he has been straight up with us 2 years ago.  That is all I am saying.

  • You really should try turning on your brain here. What part of him saying he was going to give the money to charity sounds like he wants or needs the money for himself? Look, the fact is, you're a sock puppet hiding behind a bogus account in order to hate on Peter. Come back under your real name, with your real info and if you want to debate this point then I'll take someting you say seriously, for now you're a nobody and I think your opinion has no value anyway.

  • I am not going to tell you who I am because I sub you and I don't want you to block me. Have a great day.

  • I don't block people for having an opinion so long as they have the courage of their convictions and say what they think without being a coward and hiding behind fake identities. You say that you aren't a coward but you know that's not true. Hiding like this is cowardly and proves that your opinion has NO weight or value. Everyone's opinion does not have value, everyone is ENTITLED to an opinion however, but not TWO, fake accounts are coward's accounts.

  • Well that is your opinion. In you last video you were not entirely truthful, were you? You troll lots of channels including Renetto's. Too bad no one pays attention to you on LiveVideo or here any more. But keep plugging away.

  • Riiight, no one plays attention to me, whatever you say sure thing. Um, oh and I speak to Paul on the phone, he knows where I'm coming from. Anyway, as I said, socks don't rate an opinion, please float away.

  • Peter, you should reflect on what you said your first few videos on YouTube. You have definitely changed.

  • Must "have" been, you idiot.

  • That is a terrible comment. How can you say that about one of the most respected people on youtube.

  • I'm happy that you've changed your mind about being a Partner, Peter. It is a good way to support YT and to encourage them to fairly distribute the revenue they produce from user-generated material. Look forward to hearing about the Google event!

  • Welcome to the partnership program! I'm still a bit confused about it all.

  • There is an advert next to your video Peter now so thats were Youtube will get there money from but what is Monotise.

    Looked like a good time with those Chinese ladies

  • I like your phrase "Uturn"... very clever. Thank you for sharing this with us. Copyright restrictions would seem to be important either way. It's just the right thing to do, really. Isn't there variations when you do short clips?

  • all news to me and quite interesting Peter... congrats :)

  • you are so lovely donating the money you may receive to charity, that's very thoughtful of you. :)

  • you funny. i think you desver a partnership programe. yeah the advertisment was axe when i sal this vid. good stuff too. i use it. how about that banner feature. i think its pretty cool. anticopation sometimes make things all the more worth wild. congrads man:) peace. gregg

  • Hi Peter. I have a friend who is deaf & she can only lip read. I have a favour to ask. Could you possibly refrain from putting your hands near or over your mouth? I am sure there are many other hearing impaired people out there who would also benefit from being able to lip read your words - thanks. Love your video & found it very informative. I didn't like those other very short videos of yours, although better something than nothing. Love from rainy Spain.

  • Congrats Peter!

  • Hi Peter.

    Congrats on the partnership! hope you enjoyit.

  • Hi my Dear Peter, I am so honoured to know you personally & you are one of the nicest & loveliest people I have ever met! You deserve to be a YT Partner as another YouTuber mentioned, because of YOU YT has go much more publicity through the media!!! LOVE YOU! Hugs & kisses, Nnek@ ;o) xxx

  • Congrats! Im glad you waited to see how the partner thing would play out, and then made your decision to take part.

    Wish you all the best

    ♥

  • Congrats Peter well done :)

  • Congratulations! I wish you all the best! By the way, I did not see any advertising.

  • Sounds good and very promising in many aspects.

    Enjoy those new possebillities!

  • Anyone who stops watching you because your a partner isnt worth your time. Congratulations! ~Raven

  • surely you have some right or controll over something that youre a member of also? like band members often use their own music in their video because its party theirs :)

    o you go right ahead, also,any news on the song coming out? :D

  • Congrats-Peter! :D

  • Its long overdue sir. You deserve all of it.

  • Wow, I did not know that you chose your ads - that makes sense. I guess I'd assumed that software chose them based on content of past videos.

    Congrats Peter!

  • Congratulations Peter - you are a star and deserve all the goodies! ;-)

  • Congratulations on being made a partner!

  • I'm one of the very faithful Peter. Your integrity is admirable and obvious. Please keep us posted with your experience with Google/Youtube. Many of us are very interested in their actions, not their words. Peace to you, Koby

  • Congratulations on being made a partner Peter! I will never get that far as I have so few views/subs, but I just love it anyway.

  • Congratulations! :)

  • Hi Peter,

    A lot of people I know have been partnered to YouTube recently. I still have some reservations about it, mostly due to YouTube Google's ineffectiveness in enforcing their own TOS with regard to abusive users. Still, I respect you for whatever decisions you make, for I know that you will always set an outstanding example to those who visit your channel, and that is a good thing. Thanks for being my friend. *hugs*

    Belinda

  • Get a piano playing in the background like they did with silent movies. Then they cant do you for copyright LOL

  • another good video added to your list peter.

    i agree with what you said about the revenue sharing scheme. people shouldn't be singled out.

    keep up the good work

  • Welcome to the elites...well, sort of, I guess.

    Good for you, Peter. :)

  • Way to go Peter. No one in their right mind would ever accuse you of being a sellout. You are one of the main reasons that YouTube exploded onto the national scene. I hope you reap many benefits my friend. You are a good man and care for those less fortunate and that,my friend,is the ultimate compliment that I can give anyone!!

  • Peter, you are just an old cynic like me. The partnership scheme is great, because it has enabled many of the youngsters who have not got much money to afford the fares to travel around the world to Youtube meet ups. Your friend Caitlin is currently in New York with Community channel, Paperlillies, Mememolly, Nalts, the Winecone, Tokenblackchic, Katers17 (from Gt. Yarmouth) and many more. I just think its great they can meet and have fun with other YouTubers.

  • lol peter i love this im always clicking (i am over 13/18 years of age) and i agree

  • You go Peter...what you do with your own money and your own account is your business...won't change a thing for me..

  • i respect and honor your decision. I know you gave a a great deal of thought and appreciate your honesty and forthrightness.

    Sadly, though, my choice is to unsubscribe from your videos. Knowing that I am watching a "paid performance ' -- which you have every right to -- jut diminishes significantly my interest and enjoyment. Thanks for more than a year of wonderful presence. All the best in your new ventures,

  • I'm sure you would have sold out long ago, Mattboy1981. Good for you, Peter. Keep up the great work, and ignore the hypocrits on here.

  • No explanation needed Peter.

  • I'm glad you explained why. But I don't agree with it. I'm not sure what to think.

  • you're entitled to make a u-turn peter!

  • I just wish I could find info on how much people are making off being a partner. It doesn't seem to be available. Not sure why. Or maybe I'm just missing it.

  • u have the choice to change ur mind after considering the facts available to u at the time.... nice decision... holla xxxxx

  • Hey Peter Is that a Staples Easy Button behind your left shoulder ?

  • "That was easy" hahahaha

  • Haha! I loved the picture! Congratulations!

  • Thumb down then negative comments. Respect Peter :)

  • Sounds good Peter, congrats! I sure would like to hear more about your MC days...thanks.

  • Lovin' ya!

  • I think Annikin1814 is in the US. Their partner-workers are NOT doing a good job, by many accounts. You might want to do a search, as it has been a bit of an issue with especially Americans lately.

    Here you thought you were going to "go quietly" through old age, didn't you? HA! Isn't life full of wonderful surprises! Have fun with the "google thing", whatever it is!

  • I think that's a fantastic idea *thumbs up*

  • ignore, thumb down, spam, block donutholes

    attention is the worst he can get

  • Congrats on the offer! You are an inspiration! Thank you!

  • If you are going to keep the money then I can understand putting up with the restictions. But, if you are going to give the money away and have to look over your shoulder.... I would be tempted to tell them to fly a kite.

  • Fantastic Grand-dad.. You deserve partnership, you are a true gentleman and we love you:)

  • Thanx 4 sharing that Peter.

    --congratulations on your acceptance of this program.

    have a great day,
