 There's this huge misconception about YouTube that it's this big company out to demonetize every non-child content YouTube channel on its platform. Anything with even the slightest bit of edge will have its money right stripped from it immediately. And I'm gonna tell you, that's not true, alright? YouTube is much, much worse. The YouTube demonetization bot is like Russian roulette. Every now and then with each upload you think to yourself, wow, this platform is getting better for creators. I haven't been demonetized in a while. And then blame. Big dick demonetize is knocking at your door, hey, hey, open up, I've got something to trade with you. There's a difference between the rules being harsh with the bot acting on those harsh rules and then they're just being vague as fuck where it feels like the bot acts on whim or at random. With clear harsh rules we're all gonna say, hey, well at least I knew what I was getting myself into, you know, I can't really complain. But with how random the rules feel, it generates the sense of creator anxiety, you know, will I get paid for a week's worth of video or will I be out on the street abusing joker in local smash pools to recuperate the money I've lost? Now I have too much dignity for that so, you know, I guess I'll just starve. And it's not even like YouTube doesn't like it when people curse, you know, so many people have come to that conclusion, you know, don't curse, you'll get demonetized. But no, the video's where I curse 10 times per 5 seconds where the bot's like, yeah, I really don't care. And then there are videos where I curse like once or twice the entire video. And the bot's like, hold on now, I didn't know you were that type of person. It's not the cursing. There are even channels with the most G rated content that have to deal with this type of stuff and try to find tricks and loopholes around the demon bot, whose tricks, by the way, that I've used. Side question, can you guess what the loophole around demonetization is, by the way? Re-uploading the same exact video. This is not even a joke. If the demon bot demonetizes your video, hopefully, you know, before you publish it, you can literally just delete that demonetized video and then re-upload the same exact video, and it will usually change the demonetized status, you know? Sometimes it takes one try. Sometimes it takes three tries. You know, it's like throwing a Pokeball in Pokemon. You know, I've done this trick myself a bunch of times. And even though it helps to get monetization on your video, it's just time-consuming, nerve-wracking and unnecessary. My daily editing and upload schedule will go, you know, usually work on the video for around five to six days. To break that down, for one to two days, I write out the script. I wake up the next morning with a fresh remind, reread the script. Everything sounds like shit. So now I'm rewriting, like, half of the original script. You know, three to four days, I get all the resources and edit the video, the audio, some of the pictures. And I spend two days waiting for the monetization to confirm. And if it gets demonetized, guess what I have to do? Yeah, you remember, delete the video. Upload that same exact video and wait two more days for the monetization to confirm. And if that doesn't work, guess what I have to do? That's right, delete the video. Upload that same exact video and wait two more days for monetization to confirm. Oh, man. But there are even worse things that can happen to creators. For example, there are times videos will pretend that they have monetization on them, you know? They'll show you the green icon and everything. And then when you make it go live, it's like, psych nigga! And know what you're gonna do, huh? Delete the video? No, you can't because people have already seen it. And if you upload the same video and make it go live, it won't perform as well as it was going to in the first upload. This is why there are times where even though, as you guys know, I'm a greedy, money-hungry piece of shit, my attention-seeking side will take over and be like, you know what, forget the monetization. I just want people to see the video that I worked on and then I'm off to eat marama noodles for the entirety of next month. I actually used to have a Patreon. And man, those were some simpler days. But I deleted it because the moment I got approved for the YouTube partnership program, I was like, wow, I don't really need to steal money for my subscribers' wallets anymore. YouTube will provide for me. I'll just go ahead and delete it. Dumbass, nigga! Which is why sadly, I'm once again asking for your financial support. If any of you give a shit, I am reopening my Patreon, but not like how it was last time. Like the highest tier will be like at most $10 because honestly, I don't really have anything worth $50 in value. But yeah, other than that, if that fails, I can only hope YouTube is much nicer to me. But that probably won't happen. But either way, y'all have a great day and a great night.
