 Hey everyone, so I have to start this video by first apologizing a little bit Couple videos ago just yesterday I released a video talking about the update to the Nintendo creators program and how it's going to impact us and How Nintendo's essentially trying to stop streaming on YouTube? They're trying to prevent people from streaming now in the video itself I clarified many many times that this only applied to the creators program But what I didn't specify because I didn't know at the time was How deep this goes and or what the clarification is? So I'm going to apologize right now Because this information I'm about to present to you right now right now today was available yesterday But because I was so caught up in the email itself that a literal email Nintendo sent to me personally I kind of overlooked it even when I went to the FAQ You know area of the site the guide site on the Nintendo creators program I didn't see this initially because I didn't I guess I looked in the wrong section. So Here is the full Full report I guess from Nintendo on what's happening with streaming on YouTube and what Nintendo themselves actually suggest People do if this is a problem So it says live streaming on YouTube falls outside of the scope of the Nintendo creators program exactly We said yesterday you cannot broadcast content on YouTube live from the account. You have registered to the Nintendo creators program again What we said yesterday however, here's the extra bits if you plan to broadcast content on YouTube live You have a couple of options first You can broadcast content on YouTube live from a channel that is not registered to the Nintendo creators program or You can cancel your channel's registration to the Nintendo creators program and instead Register your videos containing Nintendo's IP to the program separately Videos which had previously been registered through your channel would need to be re-registered individually and all I can really say to that is Awesome, it's not as bad as I feared and things are actually a lot better, but still not great So what Nintendo is saying is if you are registered to the Nintendo creators program make a separate account and you can still livestream that So they're not preventing all live streaming on YouTube They're not even preventing all people who want to make Nintendo content from doing live streaming the only channels that are Affected by this and there are only a very few of these channels exists mostly really small youtubers like way smaller than us are People who have have their entire channel invested into the Nintendo creators program And there's not a lot of people that have done that because in order to do that Yes, they take less revenue from your videos I think right now it's like a 40% cut like if I submit an individual video to the Nintendo creators program They take 40% if I was a full member of the Nintendo creators program You know they'd only take 30% then they take 30% of every video I make including videos that don't have it Like Nintendo game footage in it or any other original content. I may do you know like my outside the box series or prime comments You know, that's very much not something that I want Nintendo taking a cut from But yeah, it's it's basically means that my channel is okay I can live stream Nintendo games on my channel, which is awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. However That doesn't necessarily mean that's what I'm going to do moving forward So let me let me clarify what this means for us. It means that yes, we can live stream Very few channels are going to be affected by this rule change It might almost be why Nintendo is like intentionally hurting channels and intentionally telling people Hey, just like opt out of the creators program It's also an admittance that Nintendo Screwed up that the creators program sucks. Why they're implementing a new restriction into the creators program is beyond me I don't get it. I have no idea why they do it, but it sounds like I could still submit videos Individually to them and still live stream. However, that doesn't have anything to do with Nintendo's general policies on content ID They're still gonna claim a bunch of stuff. They're still gonna claim every single live stream. We do So here is what we're going to do and this is what this was a wake-up call to me as someone who you know Is new to the live streaming game when it comes to streaming video games We are going to stream on Twitch and YouTube at the same time moving forward I'm going to keep encouraging people to follow us on Twitch for the live streams One because it helps support us better to twitch is a more flexible platform for live streams and three. I don't trust Nintendo While this policy right now Only affects people who are fully invested in the creators program and Nintendo themselves give you Options for you to still live stream. I don't trust Nintendo to not eventually Blanket block live streams for Nintendo games and I say that because they have no problem Claiming and blocking videos if they need to that have Nintendo game footage in them in the first place So I don't trust Nintendo. I think the only reason they don't have the supply into people outside of the creators program Is because YouTube does not currently have a tool in place for Nintendo to automate that process So for Nintendo to shut down live streams, they would have to be on YouTube 24 7 with the hundreds and hundreds of staff Watching all the live stream feeds waiting for a Nintendo live stream to pop up and then you know doing a strike against that channel And it's just way too much effort and way too costly for Nintendo to do that the whole reason that this issue even exists with Nintendo content ID claiming videos and why it doesn't happen on any Other platform is because YouTube has an automated content ID process So as soon as that automated content ID process can be applied to live streams Nintendo will likely use that content ID to shut down live streams or claim them or whatever the case may be So while Nintendo is not going after live streams right now while they might never be able to go after live streams I'm going to play it safe. So we're still going to stream to you directly on YouTube like we always have We're still going to stream on Twitch. In fact, we're gonna be streaming on Twitch every single stream we do However, I still want you guys to head on over to Twitch You can watch us on whatever platform you prefer and that makes me happy That means we're gonna have more viewership And I don't have to leave our home base for you to get all of our content That was always one of my stipulations and being a content creator is I like having all of my video content on One video platform That's why I like live streaming on YouTube because you guys are already here You don't have to go somewhere else But I still want people who are okay doing it to follow us over on Twitch go over there do your thing because It really helps me out in the future because again I'm not putting my faith in Nintendo to not make this streaming policy worse on YouTube Once YouTube and Google create the tools to make it possible And I think those tools are going to exist one day And that this domino is the first chip to fall In in the streaming sphere for Nintendo I think they really want I have total control over how their games are presented on the internet period so Yeah That's really it and I I apologize greatly for not clarifying this yesterday I literally did not have this information until some point today I watched a few other reactions some videos watch a spawn wave video I'll link down to his big down in the description that really helped clarify things I watched a video about h.m.k. Who didn't really clarify this far into it. Uh, but yeah In general, I'm sorry. I I am deeply sorry if I misrepresented what Nintendo is doing I still think what they're doing is crap I think if you are someone that for some reason fully invested into the Nintendo creators program That you're being punished the most like the people who are conforming to what Nintendo wants you to do The most are the ones being hurt the most that doesn't make a lot of sense to me People like me who are kind of only using the tunnel creators program submitting individual videos Doing it because we're kind of forced into having to do and I understand there's plenty of you out there I think I have no right to make money off of nintendo's content And I don't know why I recorded that but there's people who think that Obviously, you know when youtubers are making videos that Have game footage in it that you know, we're stealing or something. I don't get it I bought the games. I bought the equipment to record the games It's not like it's not like I just magically have this footage up there, especially from switch Switch does not have any internal way to stream or record footage. You have to buy extra equipment You have to buy the switch in the first place I own all the products that I'm creating the content with And I personally don't view using game footage as really being that different than Using my computer to live stream. I own all the components in it. I shouldn't have to Pay in video or msi or intel a portion of my Money that I make on live streams because I'm using their products to make the live stream happen That doesn't make sense Same thing with nintendo like yeah, I'm streaming your game making content out of your game But I also own that copy of the game. I'm not distributing it for free and doing all this illegal stuff So anyways, I don't know that's a conversation. I think for a different day, but yeah, I'm happy I'm thrilled we're gonna be streaming still on youtube and twitch still go follow us on twitch There are some unique features we have running on twitch right now that are twitch exclusive There's like coins you can earn for watch time and you can play games And there'll be polls that will run that'll be twitch exclusive The I don't think the poll will appear in the general stream on youtube. I'm not 100% sure I haven't ran one yet But yeah, I'm excited. I'm looking forward to this It is something that I've been wanting to do for a long time in terms of diversifying where our videos come from But at the same point I don't think I would have did this Hadn't I not had this fear of nintendo taking away my ability to live stream on youtube eventually again. This feels like They threw the first stone. There's more to come Anyway folks, I'm nathan and ruffle dance from nintendo prime If you like this video, you know what to do and if you dislike the video I get it this like that video subscribe for more content like this And hey, I'll try to be sure in the future to gather the full details before making my video on the topic Anyways, I'll catch you guys In the next one
