 YouTube is demonetizing videos for comments. Nothing else, just bad comments beneath your videos. You might wonder Why do other people's comments affect my ability to make money if my videos are fine? One answer Advertiser boycott apparently Disney, Epic Games and AT&T all stopped advertising on YouTube Recently due to the discovery of some bad pedophilic comments the video giant YouTube said that within the first 48 hours of the scandal breaking it had Disabled comments on tens of thousands or millions of videos Terminated over 400 channels and report legal activity to law enforcement Were you hit by this? Were some of your videos demonetized because of other people's comments YouTube is basically saying you need to do a better job of Moderating your comments deleting the bad comments banning the commenters that are leaving those bad comments So they can't leave comments anymore. You can all do that through the Creator studio in your YouTube dashboard So this article is a tube filter article. The link is down there in the description below if you want to read it It talks about how after child video scandal YouTube says ad-friendly videos Can be demonetized for inappropriate comments only comments nothing to do with the video itself the video is fine It's just the comments beneath it. So let me point out the highlights Ballinger with 1.2 million subscribers Said she had many of her videos demonetized by YouTube because of comments But she does monitor her comments Stringently and suggested that rather than punishing channels like hers YouTube remove the offending comments and ban the users themselves Of course if YouTube feels these are bad comments Why don't they remove them and ban those users instead of relying us on us humans to do it for them? According to YouTube millions of videos have been partially demonetized with the yellow icon and that YouTube is also Asking creators to more astutely moderate their comments Because quote we can hold Monetizing channel owners to a higher standard YouTube wrote this was part of another article from The Verge Which you can also read by clicking the link down there to this article and then clicking this link So what do you guys think of all this should YouTube just remove comments themselves and not punish the channel owner or Should YouTube hold channels that monetize to a higher standard so that they have to do Part of the job of monitoring comments themselves. Tell me down there in the comments below Personally, I think YouTube is correct that channels that are making money on the platform should do more To moderate their videos not just their own videos, but the comments I think there is a balance YouTube of course needs to do its part and channel owners need to do their part I know a channel that becomes very popular may get tens of thousands of comments So you might say well, it's unreasonable to expect a channel owner to hire people to moderate tens of thousands of comments I agree, but just look at the popular ones Maybe focus on the comments that have lots of likes or the ones that get Displayed at the top of the comment list when you're looking at the video that would be my Counter like don't look at all 10,000 comments. Just the top ones again I'd love to hear what you guys think tell me in the comments below And I also want to talk about yesterday's video where I said Hiring recruiters to freedom many of you contacted me on LinkedIn more than I expected So we'll have to create a better process I can give each of you a meaningful reply. Sorry if I haven't replied to you yet in LinkedIn. I Have hired three recruiters. I think four actually and we have a team lead so I'm going to in a new video explain a different process to Let everybody who wants to become a recruiter apply and go through a Interview where we see if this is a good fit for you and for us But I will continue replying to the LinkedIn messages So keep sending them to me and I'll introduce you to our new team lead his name is Matt Hamed and He will also help talk with you to see if this is a good fit. So recruiting is a lifeblood of an MCN It's about having people talk to channel owners to spread the love spread the message of why partner with freedom And I'm so happy that so many of you think this is a good opportunity. That's awesome big freedom family hugs and I'll do my best to get back to each of you and know that we would love to create a large team of recruiters Properly structured under team leads in different territories and communicating with each other So we all help each other grow together as a family. Does that ring a bell? That's our mission or not a mission. That's our that's the spirit of freedom But bear with us. We're just getting started with all this recruiting team building And if you think you can also be a team lead send me a message on LinkedIn I'd love to speak with you about how we can organize Teams of recruiters and of course we're looking for people with experience in that type of position Maybe you've already been a team lead for another MCN Or you've just had many years of experience on YouTube as a recruiter or a channel owner That's worked with many youtubers all those things count when We're looking for the right people to be our leaders to be our leadership team in building these Recruiting teams.
