 Today we unlinked a channel that got 100 million views in a single video, but made zero revenue. Do you know why? Let me play a clip of the video. Roll it! You got it! It's commercial music that was monetized by the record labels that represent this artist. If you have a music channel, get permission to monetize the music on your channel so that if you get 100 million views like this, you don't make zero dollars! Here is the channel behind me. It has almost 100,000 subscribers, but we had to unlink it because it uses commercial music without permission, and that just means you will get strikes eventually. Most commercial music will just monetize, but some will strike and eventually your channel will get terminated for those strikes. And it uses Vivo in its title! Never use someone else's brand in your brand! That's trademark infringement guys, and that's another reason why YouTube may terminate or suspend your channel, so just don't do it! Make your own brand! Here's a music channel behind me with 66,000 subscribers that we unlinked because he is using the Vivo logo in his thumbnails, and that is trademark infringement, and he's uploading commercial music without permission. This is KYC! Know your channel to keep your channel safe, or I go over examples of what to do and what not to do so that you don't get terminated or YPP suspended. We have now unlinked over 3,000 channels since March 1st, 2018 from Freedom for doing things that are potential abuse events, and YouTube is holding all MCNs accountable for every channel in their network now, much more so than before. And so we are very focused on content quality, and we are trying to teach you everything we've learned so you can keep your channel safe. Let's look at some more channels. What's wrong with this channel behind me? Minecraft Gamer PC64 that we unlinked. At first glance, it looks okay, he has some Minecraft videos, but when we dug deeper, we saw this video. Roll it! Good Lord, what is happening in there? Aurora Borealis? Aurora Borealis! At this time of year, at this time of day, and this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen. Yes. May I see it? No. So that was pretty funny clip. I did enjoy watching that video, but guys, you can't upload Simpsons episodes with no commentary, no argument for fair use. Now, if that was only one video, we wouldn't have unlinked the channel right away. We would have reached out to the channel owner, explained these things to him, give him a chance to fix the issue by deleting the video, but we saw more, like this one. It is also a completely copyright video. Let me play a clip. He's absolutely a superhero. Captain Underpants. He doesn't have x-ray vision. He can't even climb a tree. Wearing a cape does not make him a superhero. Yes, it does. I'm not going to argue with you. Why don't you guys decide for yourselves? So he's showing a preview of this movie, and he's again adding no commentary, no review, no additional transformative value to make the video fair use. Now let's look at a channel that does this, but the right way. Here is the good channel behind me that we did not unlink, and here's why. Let me play a clip. Can you teach me how to use my sword? I guess I'm a sucker for a guy with big ambitions. I have more than just big ambitions. Just give me a chance Senpai, please. He takes clips from animes and uses a sin counter that adds up all the things that are wrong with the anime according to him. That is called fair use. That is reviewing the video. That is allowed. How are we sure? Have you heard of Citibasins behind me with almost 8 million subscribers? This channel is not partnered with freedom, sadly. But let me play a clip for you. Can you know that it's bigger than you and me? You and I, shut up. Indeed, shut up. It is you and me. The easiest way to know is to take the you and out of the sentence and see if it holds up. Look, being a Grammar Nazi can be bad, but being an incorrect Grammar Nazi, and I'm not saying this because the actress is German either, so get that out of your head. Whoever did that killed my mood. And what makes you think it is not me? These are things completely innocent people with gunsay. Bingo. Looks more like a dildo to me, but I get those words confused sometimes too. So you get the idea. It's okay to put your commentary in between short clips of popular movies, even though they're copyrighted and even though you don't have permission from the movie producer to put the videos on your channel, it's called fair use. Let's test you on this channel behind me. Would you unlink him if you saw a video like this? You can see what it is. Commercial music over Fortnite gameplay. He has one strike from Warner Music and 72 copyright matches for other videos using commercial music where all the revenue from those videos is going to the music publisher. Would you unlink this channel given those stats? With no other information available, I would say yes, unlink, but there is one extra bit of information. And here it is. What's going on everybody? Combo-Dombo here. And this is the video you guys just watched, but broken down into my Sony Vegas project board. And I just want to say this is pretty much what it takes to make a video like what you had just saw. This is all my transitions, my audio, my videos that I posted or that I imported and you know. Does this change your opinion? It changed my opinion because I see the effort that he puts into editing his content and tells me we need to reach out to this person and ask him to stop using commercial music. Use your Sony Vegas board with music from Music Factory, from Epidemic Sound, from Position Music, the safe places that won't get you strikes from Warner Music or 72 copyright matches. You'll be able to monetize all your videos and your channel will be safe. Now if the channel owner does not listen to our advice, we will be forced to unlink him because we do believe his channel will get terminated eventually if he continues using commercial music. It's just a matter of time. Let's you and me analyze this channel behind me together to see if we should unlink it. My first concern is the channel banner reads, Johnny's, oops that's my 5am call, that's my 5am alarm that says I need to get home to help our kids get ready for school. Let's finish this. The first channel, my first concern is the channel banner reads Johnny's sense and the channel title is Jew. Why don't they match? Second concern is look at all these videos being uploaded with no views all in the same hour. That is burst uploading and spamming unwanted repetitive content. Why is it repetitive? Well let's have a look. I'll open up these two videos and we can play them. Okay let's listen in. No audio, just video. How about this one? Same thing. Let's look at the description. He's just uploading 600 levels of this game with no real value except seeing the gameplay. Let's look at the about page. Subscribe 9 levels every day. Gameplay in progress, cookie cats pop. So my main concern with this channel is YouTube has a rule that repetitive unwanted content is considered spammy. My glasses are fogging up again. Someone mentioned I should just turn on the aircon. If I do it'll be noisy here so that's why I just don't use my glasses when it's this time of day and it's really hot. Unwanted repetitive content is an abuse event according to YouTube. So we unlinked this channel for that reason. I hope you're enjoying this KYC series Know Your Channel. Click that i to see all the episodes in case you missed any and I'll be creating more as we discover channels that we feel you can learn from so that you can keep your channel safe by either doing the things that are good like using your commentary to review videos like we saw anisins do or cinemasins or things that are bad like using someone else's trademark logo in your thumbnails or uploading too much content with no real value between each video. These are the things that YouTube is clamping down on enforcing strictly in 2018. Their focus is on content quality because they need to restore advertiser confidence in the YouTube platform because of all the bad PR that happened in 2017. YouTube does not want a single moment of 2017 to repeat again in 2018 so they may be going a little over what I think they should be doing for content quality but they're doing this because they are reacting to the 2017 year. So I hope you can work with us. Tell us the context of your channel. If you are on a gray area try to get off the gray area. We never want to see someone's hard work go down the drain because YouTube terminates or suspends your channel from the YouTube partner program which means they unlink you from whatever network you're with as a consequence. We want you to grow responsibly. We want you to be able to make a career out of your passion which is our mission statement. Roll it. Did you like that music?
