 YouTube didn't explode. Hey guys, it's February the 20th and today's the day that the YouTube partnership for anyone who was under their kind of ridiculous limits of being a partner Has that it is done? My YouTube account isn't over. I can still put up thumbnails and I can still do and credit titles I'm cool. That was the biggest thing that was the scariest aspect to me in terms of this losing the monetization thing not being a full partner was Whether or not I was gonna lose the end credits like the tide the cards at the end as well as put a thumbnail because how on earth Are you supposed to reach those numbers that they want you to do without being able to properly promote yourself? And that was something I was a little bit afraid of because if you weren't being able to do that Then what was the fucking point of trying to make yourself something without being a clickbait icon? I'm not upset personally. It's just like oh darn that sucks But I wasn't really making money Like I actually was only making money because I was part of the broadband TV Network and thank you to those guys too for taking me on a friend of mine was a part of them And he got me on to their program and they had a great Access they had a great library of tools and whatnot. You could use I really was a big fan of the epidemic Sound library. I was able to use I was using that for a lot of my background music and They had a really cool thing called catalyst that let you kind of figure out the analytics like way more detail into the videos of what was Popular what could be better? I thought that was really cool I didn't take full advantage of that because I'm not really in this for the money or anything like clearly not because if If I was living if I was living off of this I'd be below the poverty line I'd be so far below. I've only made about $120 since I got part put with the program basically I was making enough that I would call it my snicker bar money. I was making like four or five dollars a month American though, so it had its value So I think I can use that to fill up some tank a tank of gas Like a few no few tanks of gas probably but yeah, no like I'm not upset that the money is over the thing I was worried about was the end credits just those cards and then the titles but It seems it's all there. It seems YouTube hasn't changed anything Otherwise like for some reason the monetization option is still there on my videos But I don't know I'm still waiting for that to fully go into effect obviously the money symbols will go away However, I can finally do this again without having an issue I Can put music in that's copyright Because what's the fucking point right if I'm not gonna be making any money off of it I don't have to worry about being copyright infringement and shit and everything not that I really cared in the first place, but It was nice making snicker bars money, but anyways guys nothing's gonna change Nothing was going to change originally some people were asking who are you gonna stop doing is like yeah No, I'm gonna definitely stop my four dollars a month pay work to end. I'm really doing this for the money. Yo Yeah, no, it's not gonna end. I'm just gonna keep on doing what I do and Yeah, I Don't know we'll see what happens, but clearly the end of the world has not happened But we'll see it depends on how this works for sharing like the one thing that I kind of thought about recently Was if you're not a partner does YouTube and their algorithms promote you as much are They gonna hide you underneath those who have properly been promoted No, obviously those ones who have properly been promoted are bringing in views and all that more content But are they gonna secretly kind of put you into? this little web of The undesirables I guess I'm kind of wondering it's gonna happen, but I guess we'll see in the coming months Anyways guys just want to let you know I'm not stopping For those of you who care like the four of you But I'm not it's not ending. I just and as long as I can still do the thumbnails and I can do the end credits That's fine by me. Anyways guys. That's all for me Till something drastic or something awful happens. I guess we'll just keep going. Anyways, see you guys later
