So my network decided not to warn me 30 days in advance that they wouldn't be renewing my contract like they should've. But basically I'm in quick need of some network recommendations, or any networks I should avoid. Basically networks can help protect me from getting my shit taken down and also promote my stuff and that'd be nice.
My channel is just a weird amalgamation of shit I like to make or just video game footage, or YT streams. Lately made an educational but well edited video shitting on Randy Pitchford so it's not very PR safe nor PC. If you know of any networks that might accept something like this and pay me money to be an asshole and play video games let me know. If I can avoid signing up directly with Youtube so advertisers can decide not to pay me for anything ever that'd be great. Tanks
I've heard good things about curse could be worth checking out.

I don't have any recommendations but I do wish you the best of luck in finding another one, hopefully very soon
I've hear good things about Curse.
You should go with whatever network Leafy is with.
They seem to tolerate all the bullshittery that he involves himself them.

i saw, i'll take a look at this and curse, BBTV had a person contact me, and i'll look at anything else anyone recommends on youtube.
May I ask who the network that dumped you is?
Sounds like it's time for small claims court.
Probably not worth lawyering up if you can keep it in small claims, but if your contract is pretty explicit, it's cheap, easy, and generally simple to contest.

i think i mentioned real quick it was studio71 formerly collective and node before being bought out. when they were collective they were the people who promoted annoying orange. nowadays they retweet the rock and promote a lot of vloggers and shit like that.

nah i'm not going to court across the country (P.A. to san fran) for like $50. like i said revenue isn't the best for the infrequent unfocused videos i post but i do feel salty getting gypped what could buy me easy dinner for five to seven days this month.
you could try machinima if you feel like doing the equevlant of taking a rusty screw, putting it under your toe, and then kicking a brick wall as hard as you possibly can, and then repeating it 9 more times per toe
Can somebody fill me in: What's the point of partnering? Do you need it to get ad revenue from videos? I thought you could get that from AdSense.
Youtube partneting is fucking stopid just set up a chantel on youtube or something

you get paid better than adsense and also if you partner up with youtube directly they can dictate what gets ads and what doesn't or say an advertiser didn't like what i posted so they can take my video down. being partnered gives you some extra protection against abusive copyright claimers as well, if you have the right network. many networks also promote your videos outside of your normal viewership in some ways.
in my experience, studio71 never removed a video for a copyright claim and just allowed the copyright claimer to put their own ads on my videos instead of... whatever studio71 was putting up. also they paid me a consistent amount of money per view, instead of adsense which i hear pays you based on minutes watched except for viewers with adblock. when i was with collective/node (before becoming studio71) the math always panned out compared to what i was getting paid; adblock did not seem to affect how much i was getting paid. that seems to be something networks can dictate. so that may be a benefit.
i'd also recommend curse (i'd link a ref link for the sweet sweet revenue share but im not a scum man), their revenue split is really quite fair (90%), their music library access is pretty cool, i mean i've used it once or twice here and there, and the support staff and very fast to respond and i've had a number of useful email exchanges with them

the main benefit for a network imo is the protection it offers, if i ever run in to copyright trouble or get some kind of infraction on my account i have a real, actual human being to talk to rather than just google's nearly non-existent support team.
i also get my revenue sent to my paypal rather than via direct bank transfer, i don't mind direct bank transfer since im used to receiving payments to my bank and don't really need paypal since i just use my card everywhere, however services that send money to your bank account will only do so if you reach $100/£60 in revenue owed before cashing out to avoid fees, this is the system that google adsense default monetization uses. with a network paying to your paypal they'll pay you once per calendar month no matter how much it is, from $0.01 to $100,000. tbh this is the main reason i signed up for partnership with curse since my paychecks started being less and less and i got to the point where i was only cashing out once every 4 months, so it's nice to get small chunks of money in my paypal constantly so i can waste it on hearthstone packs, it's very much worth the 10% loss imo

Might be able to file in your area. If they don't respond, you get a default judgement, even if it's for unreasonable amounts. Very cheap way to cause them a lot of headaches if you can file locally.
It's worth going over your contract with a fine toothed comb, getting all of your financial paperwork in order, and consulting with a lawyer for a few minutes. Worst case, you are out some time.

i saw this 90% ad revenue when looking at their contract and immediately became wary. this is way higher than what i was getting. it also says they can remove any video they want. any stories of this getting abused? when signing up im immediately directed to agree to a contract, too, which means i should hold off before applying? or am i reading this incorrectly? thanks.
is there any way to partner with YouTube directly? i did it like fucking forever ago and while I don't do much with it i'm not tied to anyone particular.

i've never had them touch my channel's videos or content beyond when they initially linked my account and they monetized all my videos idk why that happened but that's been it.
money wise 90% seems to hold up, my youtube account shows $50 and i get $45 on paypal etc, altho my rpm seems to average around $0.30 so make of that what you will and compare this to your averages before applying (am i even allowed to say that?)
idk about signing a contract on signup, if i recall correctly you just put your info in that form to apply and then when u get accepted you're prompted to sign the actual irs agreements and partnership contracts.

honestly, i'm a very very small channel and I haven't exactly researched this topic enough to make significant recommendations on specifics, if you have any doubts i'd recommend emailing them
