 Payday is coming next week for you Freedom Family, even if you leave Freedom, or if YouTube unlinked you. And why am I so small? So I don't cover the text like this. You will receive your first ever crypto miner payment, this crypto miner I mean. And look, you now see exactly how much Zcash your computer has mined, which we will convert to US dollars and pay you in a week. Take that eye to see exactly how we convert Zcash to US dollar cash for you. Where do you get it? In your shiny freedom dashboard, look behind me. Here you'll get the download link to Windows and, this is new, Linux 64-bit. It's the crypto miner page in your shiny freedom dashboard. Make sure you understand the limitations. In particular, this is beta. After you download it and run it, click start and you'll be making money. And as I said, we now show you how much money your mining has earned. This is the Zcash amount and we convert Zcash to US dollars at the end of each month. And what do I mean? You will get paid even if you leave? I mean you will get paid to the last second that you were partnered with Freedom. Desi Blue behind me wrote a passionate comment saying, leave Freedom. These people unlinked my channel after owing me more than a hundred dollars. We have been unlinking channels because YouTube has set new rules that all MCNs must abide by. If your channel was unlinked by mistake, then simply email support at freedom.tm and ask for a review. In Desi Blue's case, if you don't return to Freedom and Desi Blue, I actually wrote you a personal email apologizing for the unlinking and re-inviting your channel back. But if you don't return, we will pay you this $100 in the normal payment cycle. Don't worry, your money is safe. You'll get it when everyone gets paid appropriately. Why is YouTube doing this? Creating rules that force MCNs like ours to unlink many channels. It is because of content quality. There are two main focuses for YouTube in 2018, growth and content quality to restore advertiser confidence in the platform. Part of their strategy is to require MCNs to do their part and review every single channel in their network to confirm that it is a good actor doing good things to help the ecosystem. As you know, we had over 100,000 channels in Freedom. And now we have over 6,000 and less than 7,000. And we've been carefully going through each and every channel, but we do make mistakes. That is why sometimes channels like yours Desi Blue was unlinked because that particular reviewer felt that you did have some questionable content. Maybe you put some tag stuffing in your description. Maybe you use some music without permission that you didn't credit in your video description. Maybe you had an empty about page. These are all indicators that may mean that the channel is not a good actor and YouTube may close it or suspend it from the YouTube partner program. So we make mistakes. I hope you can accept our apology and I hope this helps you understand why we're doing this and why YouTube is doing it as well. This does really change the MCN business. In the past, Freedom was all about helping small channels grow to become bigger channels and helping the bigger channels grow as well. We still do the same, but for us to make money in the business, we now have to have channels only with a thousand subscribers or more with 4,000 watch hours or more in the last 365 days last year. Those are the rules, the 4K, 1K rule that YouTube introduced. So we are trying to adapt. We need to adapt. We want to adapt because we want to continue helping everybody grow. That's the spirit of freedom. We all help each other grow together as a family, remember? But we need to make this financially viable as well. And that's why we're starting projects like the Crypto Miner, which is somewhere on my desktop that I can't see at the moment. Ah, there it is. Crypto Miner is a new revenue stream that helps recover the lost revenue from all these 4K, 1K unlinks. And I hope you can give us additional ideas. How can we create new revenue streams to help all of us grow together as a family? In the past, a few people suggested build your own version of YouTube. Well, we actually tried to do that. Remember when Vidmi was shutting down? We were in discussions with Vidmi to take over their platform and continue running it as a new place for people to upload videos and monetize. Sadly, we couldn't come to commercial terms. We couldn't agree on the price of Vidmi, basically. And so Vidmi was shut down. Do you really think that's something we should pursue? Try to create an off-YouTube video platform that is more friendly to smaller creators. Tell me down there in the comments below. It's a lot of work, guys. It's an amazing amount of work to try to get into the platform game. That's, you know, the big boys' game. But it's something we're considering. So I'd love to hear your thoughts on that. Of course, Crypto is something many of you are still uncomfortable with. For example, Molly McCorkle wrote, Sure, yeah, all we have to do is mine crypto. Everybody should. We can build cars from those crypto, build houses, make clothing. Can you say Ponzi scheme? Can you say money laundering? You produce nothing. So this is a person who doesn't understand what crypto mining does. I explained mining crypto verifies financial transactions the same way banks do. That is something very important. It's certainly not nothing. And is why miners get paid. The same way banks keep a fee for every fiat transaction. Quick question. What's fiat? Fiat is government backed currency as opposed to cryptocurrency, which is not regulated, not backed by any government. I'm asking why are you so negative about crypto, Molly McCorkle? It is not a Ponzi scheme. OK, another quick question. What's a Ponzi scheme? It's a scheme where investors put in money to pay older investors. You're basically just moving people's money around. Because people are paid from solving mathematical problems, not money from future investors. Try googling Ponzi scheme to learn the correct definition. So here we are. A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation where the operator generates returns for older investors through revenue paid by new investors rather than from legitimate business activities or profit of financial trading. Hope this helps, Molly. Everybody is going through a transition in 2018. But there's just one important rule that you must remember. And that is never give up. Even when the times are tough, that's when it's most important to show who you really are. If you give up when times are tough, then you'll never succeed in your dreams. There's always times in life when times are tough. So let's stick together, work together, and keep helping each other grow together. And payday is coming. Oops. Sorry about that. And payday is coming. That's something to look forward to. And we do this each month, guys. I'll create a video saying $2 million sent to the Freedom Family when we send that money to you.
