Yeah, totally agree! TH-cam & the businesses advertising on YOUR content is benefiting but you’re NOT! 😡 I just demonetized and I mainly do spiritual stuff...SPIRIT ANIMALS, ZODIAC SIGNS!
Thank you for being our voice Casey. This frustration has been going on for way too long. Content creators are constantly being put on the "please hold, your business is important to us", but we are never out of the hold queue
I think a powerful solution is to allow us to sell our own ad space to companies we actually resonate with. I think of my niche and how much better targeting it would be for both the creator and the companies as well. We know our audiences and can point them to things either we personally use or resonate with. Happy you made this vid and I hope TH-cam responds with putting the creators before the companies displaying ads.
Hey Aaron checked out your channel! It's pretty awesome I'm happy you commented here so I can see your videos! Thank you will be watching your videos soon! Peace
Post net neutrality, TH-cam content creators will be considered competitors to companies worth billions of dollars. ISPs will have no reason to deliver independent TH-cam content.. The TH-cam community is fucked and TH-cam is already catering to ISPs.
Could not agree with you more sir. I am a newbie on TH-cam (6 months) but I have seen all of these issues in this short time. I agree that investment needs to be made into the content creators outside of giving us access to the TH-cam space. Keep rocking brother!
Wow Casey, This video gave me chills. As a creator myself, the last few months have left me feeling betrayed, undervalued, lacking faith. Many of my videos were demonetized for absolutely no reason at all. I sent a complaint to youtube and they did re-monetize about half of my videos. Thankfully I still have my full time job.... :/ Thank you so much for presenting some alternatives. This is the exact video the youtube creator community needs. Casey is basically our leader. Our pioneer. If creators as big as him start to push back we could see this hypocrisy die down. I also love the ending here. Yes, youtube DID remonetize some of my videos, but that was after I appealed. They agreed with me that THEY were wrong. But does that mean that I get any of that money back? No! Us creators seem to be completely at the mercy of this algorithm. I think creators should unite. Maybe construct some sort of union. I mean, I am literally afraid to make certain videos now because I know they won't be monetized. I started creating so I could be free to make whatever I want.
After Skool maybe the community should support/ unsupport TH-cam and their commercials. After all who wants commercials interrupting content anyways. I say if you want monetization set up a go fund me/ patreon or some other account that rewards you through your own popularity instead of having youtube dictating terms to you. Owning you, telling you what you can or can't do. I hate commercials. Let's get rid of them
I completely agree. Creators and viewers don't want ads. Sadly, most creators resort to selling t-shirts, mugs and pushing their patreons to support themselves. I know creators with a millions subs, who are still living with their parents. It's definitely not as glamorous as some creators make it seem.
THANK YOU for saying something Casey! The fact that every video I put up has to be manually reviewed because of the algorithm is ridiculous. Given it takes about 2 days to get it remonetized, and I've already gotten most of my views. Casey these are great ideas to help us creators out, and I'm glad you're talking about this. It's gotta change
You are fortunate. My small channel routinely gets under 1000 views per video, but thanks to a library of over 2000 videos across my channels things keep ticking over. When the algorithm demonitizes a video you need to have 1000+ views within 7 days before the video will get reviewed. That means none of the videos on my small niche channels ever get reviewed.
Lol screw off Glazed, you would do it if you could. Just because you're not an entertaining person with personality to keep people watching you doesn't mean others aren't. I suppose artists should also stop painting because what the fuck are those random paint blobs? Actors should stop acting and "get a real job" instead of playing make-believe? If you're going to hate don't be stupid, stupid.
So because you don't have an interest in something they should just stop doing it then? Sure, that's the way the world works. Some people like to kick back and relax and see someone leading a comparatively simpler life. Get's some laughs out of me at least, helps me unwind with the non-seriousness of it. That's speaking personally so idk about everyone else, if you don't like it don't watch it. That's about it. No use bitching about it everyone.
At this point, I just think TH-cam is too scared to upset advertisers. Their filtering system is out of control and the worse part definitely is the fact that TH-cam leaves you out of the loop. I'm still confused as to why my videos about fitness gets knocked by demonetization. It is good that they now offer the opportunity to have someone "manually" review the block, but time is money. The more time a video is spent demonetized, especially in the first few days of release, the more people are going to be out of some serious $$$ they should have gotten.
They very likely don't understand much of what their 'filtering algorithm' is doing. It's probably a neural net run by a small team. They train it by showing it stuff they want to filter, stuff they don't want it to filter and tweak it until performance becomes 'acceptable'. They probably don't know exactly what the neural net is using for classifiers, since no one really understands how they work, just that they work.
If that were true, why would they STILL even NOW after all this KNOWINGLY STILL have adds on racist content? I mean calling women whores and bitches and dropping N word and pretty much breaking all the rules.
Must be nice to get such a quick response from TH-cam about demonitizing a video. I had one of my videos demonitized and I've been waiting a couple of months now for a response. It was flagged as "not suitable for most advertisers". It is a video of rain. RAIN. It is literally a 10 hour video, just like my others, of the sound of rain falling. Months... no response from TH-cam.
I got a notice saying they were only going to be reviewing videos that got more than a 1000 views in the first 7 days. Not going to happen for most of us.
that only applies (apparently) to new channels that have less than 10k view which makes no sense because it's even harder for smaller channels to get 1k in 7 days on one vid.
Yes!!! Two to three times a week we post a recipe video. Two to three times a week TH-cam Demonetises the videos and marks them inappropriate. Two to three times a week we appeal. TH-cam always agrees and turns the ads back on. Why? Why? Why? Just feels like they are giving us the shaft over innocuous videos about cookies and cake... They may call us "TH-cam Partners". but I don't feel like much of a partner. More like a serf looking for scraps.
This is why I became very discouraged being a creator. I finally found my niche in TH-cam right as they pulled monetization so now I’m producing several videos a week trying to get back into monetization. It’s was a little refreshing to not have to battle the algorithm anymore.
I randomly stumbled upon your comment and i must say i have never ever been more curious on knowing who Vivian might be and the life she lives. To be honest, hrm, i dont know any Vivian, very plesant name to pronouce (I already know im weird ^^,). Aaaaand with this said, i will not ever watch your channel (sorry) but i already made up my mind. You are a spy, a genius spy that has a serious plan for bringing world peace. By controlling all the bald-iness from world leaders, you will shape this world into a fairytale that 'Dreamworks' couldnt even dream about. Now go, you have work to do. Good luck.... Spy.
Quite literally happens almost every time I upload a new video. End up needing to appeal and losing the bulk of income from the first surge of views, IF my video gets approved after appeal. Great analysis, Casey. Keep it up.
We got hit so hard. All we want to do is create content and grow but it has become so hard. We will take a step back, take a deep breath and go at it again. Our ad rev is gone. Thank you Casey for posting.
Casey, Phil and Ethan are probably the three of the most courageous TH-cam creators who always stand up and speak out against TH-cam when they feel the need to. I really salute these guys.
A Tip to TH-camrs whose videos get flagged with "limited or no ads" and have to be manually reviewed. What I do is schedule my videos in a couple days in advance so that if they do get flagged, I can push for review and then it can be approved before the vid goes live. I learned this after weeks of it happening. The videos would miss the initial view velocity which is where most of the views come in (within the first couple days of being posted.) Anyways wanted to share this because it has been working for and other youtuber friends I've talked to say it has been working too. Doing daily Vlogs might be more challenging but if you can upload and let the vid be scheduled for a day later it works pretty well.
Upload as private and schedule it out a couple days. You can redo the time later just set it so you'll know if it gets flagged and can then request for review. I do daily videos and this works every time I do it.
Awesome, thanks Aaron. Just checked out your channel and love the content as I am a big advocate for personal development when it comes to living in the present, mindfulness and living a happier life. Subbed :)
Aaron Doughty This is a very effective way to do this but at the same time, there should be no reason to do this every time. Especially if you know the content you upload falls within the guide lines
Twitch right now could come up remotely similar to TH-cam like video saving and others I think they have an opportunity to take over unless TH-cam at least tells people what there plan is or something.
Emily Olson no that's not true. There are people setups to succeed and others not. There are Gatekeepers inside TH-cam that are not algorithmic their human
As Do I ! No telly and more homo sapiens, but no capitalization! One of the reasons I am an expat and european now ...more humans less BUY THIS AND YOU NEEEED THAT!
They take a giant 45% of ad revenue and now THIS...after all these years. And this comes at the tail end of ad revenue declining precipitously for the last few years.
They take a lot more % of the ad revenue than that, Melvin Wei. I'm just figuring this as people who used to be able to have premium channels made about that and it was a much bigger cut than free to watch channels.
there are people out there who made video's where they just say "blah blah blah" for 5 minutes and other random things and the video's get demonetized.
UnPhayzable damn right. I email for help on my copyright claims and they straight up give the most vague answer possible leading to them to stay out of the situation entirely
Here's an idea.... how about lettings the creators (or viewers) decide directly which type of ads get shown on their content? I often see very crude, vulgar, or disgusting ads shown before videos and it's honestly not fair that advertisers don't go through a review process as strict as the actual creators! Whether I see offensive political ads, constant swearing, or fish and animals being gutted! (Just saw that one last week, wtf) It displays very clearly to me that TH-cam do not care about protecting the viewers. Instead, they care about protecting the advertisers. The viewers can't decide which ads are shown to them, and they can't even skip most of them! (No wonder AdBlock has taken off!)
Methlokaijufan97 It's an analogy. The literal correct thing to say is: "Advertisers make TH-cam more money than creators/viewers. Why should youtube not care more about those advertisers than everyone else?"
Orppranator because when a new platform comes along the creators won't be loyal to youtube. They'll jump ship and then youtube won't have new content at all.
Right afterall aren't we the currency We are what youtube sells to advertisers they all want people youtube has it but will lose that soon enough with this new way of not caring for creators
I would love if youtube completely demonetized the corporate videos.... I’m so sick of seeing late night in my feed... I stopped watching TV because I liked TH-cam better but TH-cam keeps shoving TV down my throat!! It’s irritating
That's fucking right TH-cam bent over for the advertisers 😭 and fucked the creators who drive traffic to youtube. Makes no sense. I do like your ideas for a solution Casey 😎👌
The YT executives think about, go to lunch with, hunt, chase, and bend over for those who write the fat checks and that is Advertisers! The creators are needed but since they are always there, and they aren't paying big checks, the YT company doesn't worry about them.
Casey, you absolutely killed it in this video. Nobody could have made a well spoken video like this with such clear points that directly speak to all the problems happening on this platform. Well done Sir!
lmao I love how mad you are about this. This is like the 2nd time I comment on a Casey video btw, I was just impressed about how he spoke about the subject professionally. Calm down :)
I'm glad you're really talking about this 'cause this has been getting worse FOR YEARS!! They have NOT been "doing their best," for a long time. They sold us out a long time ago!!
You're absolutely right, Casey! TH-cam NEEDS to stop focusing only on the advertisers and more on the content creators who do all the work. Or else some other platform will come along and take over their own show.
Exactly...no advertisers means no YT. Without those advertisers there wouldnt be any channel for all these youtubers to upload their videos. That is of course unless Google wants to own a mammoth company that has all the freedom of speech you want but brings no revenue.
Izzy G True but however TH-cam does need to listen to the community instead of just doing random stupid shit they should talk to the community about their content. Because it's not fair when people who are family friendly and even if they aren't they work really hard popping out content every week some even everyday. And it's not fair that they're having money taken from then when they've been here when TH-cam wasn't shit. It's the community, the small and big youtubers that made TH-cam what it was.
😂😂 people used to upload for the fun of it... soon as they started paying everyone just wanted more and more. I’d fuck the creators off keep it as a host for people who just record random shit like accidents, events etc etc
This was a well needed video for the TH-cam Creator Community. Thank you for being a voice for us all Casey! We’ve had to appeal several videos as well and TH-cam has turned on monetization on all of them except one. But I do strongly agree that the creators need more support and help getting their content out and properly distributed through all of the clutter that’s on TH-cam. It’s a lot harder to get recognition on TH-cam today than 5 - 10 years ago. Especially with all of the major celebrities joining in and being catered to by the platform.
Glad you made this. Maybe YT will listen to you ! Facebook will be adding a new Video Platform soon. Many already flipped over there, and getting Big $$$ in Beta
Been waiting for you to make something like this....I agree with a lot of what you mentioned in this video. I wanted to make something similar but alas, I don't have anywhere close to the audience you do, so thank you for fighting for us AND this platform :)
Facebook has the leverage to give creators what they want. They can win on sheer volume alone. Satisfy the big guys and the little guys. TH-cam is getting ahead of itself.
None of this YT BS drives people to Facebook, because FB has no viable revenue sharing program for small and medium sized creators. For the most part Facebook monetizes *everything* (including stolen content from other platforms), and they keep all the ad revenue themselves ($9B just last quarter). Also if you have a ton of followers FB will randomly limit distribution of new content, so if you want your content to reach all of your *own* followers, you have to pay FB. The only way to leverage FB's larger potential audience to make money is to post sponsored content, or promote your own external products/services.
As a Member of "THE COMMUNITY" I thank you in veritas for that presentation and talk..you have such a significant and noteable influence with TH-cam ,you conveyed my distrust and confusion in a format that cannot be ignored! Thank You SIR!!!!!!
I could not agree with this video more. I love TH-cam, I love being a TH-camr, and I very much want the company to have success. But it needs to care its creators.
There are many alternatives to TH-cam that have already "come by." The fact that u don't know this emphasizes the problem: people get stuck to the same brands and don't bother to search for the little guy.
Clash Of Clans with Soni Akshay TH-cam do t source Ads for those channels, Vevo or the label do - so it works different...same with Kimmel...disney runs ads for his vids
TH-cam has the biggest audience but it can lose it quickly if their content creators leave all together. We are not here for TH-cam, we are here for content and TH-cam just happens to be the platform we on
Casey Rich the idea is to do what you love. A lot of us Love being TH-camrs it's our dreams and when we're told to get a real job and throw away our dreams. That kinda sucks right?
Casey Rich I don't see you saying that to your favorite celebrity or pop stars. Why are these youtubers any different? They work hard to entertain you and they deserve to have it as a career.
I am getting plagued as of late on my car detailing channel! I don't curse or anything in it, just give reviews about car detailing products. I would say 50% of my videos are nailed as soon as they go live. The only solution I have found is to not loose ad revenue and make the video private again and request a review. It ALWAYS gets cleared and I make it public again but it is such a darn pain in my ass! It usually takes me a day or two where I could be getting views/$$$ that I am loosing out on. I can see why the huge channels are suffering. TH-cam definitely needs competition, BIG TIME!
Preach it Neistat. I would like to also note that when TH-cam (a platform I love but wish they'd do better) messes up. Us animators get screwed big time. I assume most creators who can't post daily content are in the same boat and I feel like TH-cam really does need to cater to their creators more often vs keeping us all in the dark about everything. (Or at least keep the people informed who CAN and ARE making a living off of this website)
I believe I can speak for the whole community that we appreciate the fact that influential and very big youtubers like you create videos like this to basically give more attention on how broken the current youtube system / Bot is. Improvement is obligatory, it can't be the way it is now. A good system or better system than current 1, would be that once the Bot finds a video that may be "Not ad friendly" it doesn't demonetize it, but sends that video over for manual review to youtube team, and the decision should be made by youtube team whether the video is indeed Ad friendly or NOT. If you agree with me please thumb this comment up and spread this on other big youtuber channels / videos so maybe it will eventually get attention and youtube maybe, just maybe will eventually listen.
This would be the best option but its simply impossible to achieve. More than 500 hours of video are uploaded EVERY MINUTE. So even if 1% of them aren't add friendly, that means 5 hours of video, or around 40-60 videos that a team has to watch within a minute to judge if its add friendly or not. That would simply require too big of a team, and too much money to spend for TH-cam
Thank you for posting this. I earn my living from TH-cam but my channel is still pretty small so it's you big guys that have the power to do something about it. I've had lost of videos demonetized and then remonetized and it really hurts.
It sucks how TH-cam is slowly caring less about its creators. Driving them out. Jeopardizing their job security. TH-cam, please wake up and listen to the creators. We drive your business and without us, this platform won’t survive. xx
No, TH-cam can die. It's this online streaming creator market that needs to survive. Someone just needs to create a website that's the same as TH-cam, just without the controversy.
Clearly TH-cam is trying to go a different direction, that is why youtubers are being pushed out, hence youtube creating TH-cam Tv and Red. Streaming is evidently the future of Entertainment, and i think TH-cam have realized this. Remember this site went from being video sharing site to a content creation site and now to a streaming site.
The way Netflix are growing at the moment, it would only take them to roll out a service for professional channels which could draw a lot of the community over OR just upload on both platforms, TH-cam could see massive losses overnight!!
I respect him so much for telling the truth when he's a big youtuber himself. Can't do anything but respect that Casey. Thank You. Ive been here since 2008, I just feel as if the loyalty on youtube part is so shaky. Its extremely discouraging.
I hate demonetization... I don't have a lot of subscribers & don't make a lot of money on here, but the little dollars I do make is nice.. I hate to see that yellow dollar sign. I'm a huge fan tho Casey 🤘🏾 great video
*DEMONETIZED ! ....TH-camrs like me had their whole channel DEMONETIZED, not just a video or two, and no explanation after countless appeals. Imagine your same analogy of the $500 a week where the entire amount is taken & can't get a hold of your boss ! The communication is now worse because once you're DEMONETIZED you can't contact TH-cam support any longer...it seems YT will only talk to you if you're being paid, yet you can't find out why you're NOT being paid, a really bad catch 22. Before there was a WalMart there was KMART...TH-cam will not be around when another platform comes around and ppl like me will flee, hence the eventual downfall*
It's not always a matter of depending on TH-cam. I don't depend on TH-cam for money but it is incredibly disheartening to go from 2000 views a video to barely hitting 400. From getting a few payments a year of $100 for cool pocket change to no payments.
Wow, Believe me or not, I was thinking about that for quite sometime. NETFLIX can have it's own NetFlixTube that's connected to your account. It is growing globally now in a record setting pace and people really paying for it. It's better for us to write to the CEO and make it their 2nd but connected to the original Netflix platform and make the UI simpler & easier to use. We are ALL for it... Let's go!!!
Very good points! It doesn't really affect the $10 a month I make yet, but I can definitely see how it could affect big and smaller channels if they push things until it collapses.
Famous TH-camrs really need to do the ad boycott again. By disabling ads TH-cam does not make money and they would probably take action and have a solution.
I just started to post 6 months ago, and I have 75k subscribers and almost 5 million views on my channel. Unfortunately, because I live in Romania, I get paid approximately 100$ for 1M views monthly. I don't know if it's fair or not, because I actually have a job, but I sure do want to make my living out of doing something I love doing. I also started creating vloggs, because they are a lot of fun, on another channel (LaPuiu, with my wife), and still I'm saying.. we spend a lot of time and money on these vloggs, and we love doing it, but we would really love getting something in return. Time can never be bought back! Sorry for the long post! I love the way you are thinking Casey! With much love, Michael, from Bucharest, Romania!
Companies have been claiming my vids even though they're 100 percent covered by fair use. I dispute the claims and companies keep their claim and I don't get to monetize my own vids. I'm a super small youtuber and I don't have to rely on this to survive but it's still bullshit that TH-cam won't bother to help me in any way no matter how my videos are protected legally. I've emailed for support and they are so vague in the answers leading to their choice to not get involved and help in any way. It really hurts the small youtubers a lot in trying to grow in any way shape or form
24 Frames Of Nick yeah it seems like every time you use Creative Commons material CD Baby monetizes the video immediately. You have to challenge it every time.
I fucking hate that! I used A FREE beat and there was someone that STOLE that beat changed it up a "bit" and signed it with a label so that everyone that uses his STOLEN beat will get a copy right claim. Its such fucking bull shit! I even messaged the person myself and no response.
I can assure you, TH-cam gives ZERO fucks about smaller channels simply because they make pennies off of us. Now if they made that Neistat dough, maybe they'd care. But judging by how they're treating even their largest cash cows, I wouldn't hold my breath.
24 Frames Of Nick you need to go get a lawyer and have them look into your case, especially in light of the recent court ruling on TH-cam and Fair Use in the Ethan and Hila Klein (aka H3H3) legal case - just Google "H3H3 lawsuit" and you will have hours of reading. You will continue to get your videos flagged since the other company knows you are not fighting back - once you show you are not laying down for them anymore, then things will change for you.
100% agree. You cover all points that need to be covered with youtubes relationship with the community. TH-cam needs to be more transparent and caring of its strong community. A community which may lose faith in youtube itself if these big issues aren't addressed. I really hope the people at youtube view this video and take in these serious points that Casey raises, for the sake of all us creators. Thank you so much for making this important video Casey.
I’m someone who works full time in online advertising and I just started a channel. I emailed YT because one of my videos were randomly demonetized. I asked them why and they not only gave me a very short unclear response, they actually were totally wrong about most points they made. Most people who don’t work in online advertising would not know that this information is wrong but it scares me that YT is totally okay with just feeding people information that is without a shadow of a doubt incorrect. Still a great platform but they need to fix some things.
because you work in advertising - doesnt mean you work in youtube advertising. It is almost certain that the venue/level/spectrum of advertising you work in is entirely unrelated to - or is on such a small scale compared to that of youtube that your experience / knowledge is almost unrelatable. You are the guy whos worked on cars in shop class in highschool - saying you know about the work a master mechanic who services the presidents limo does.
I feel like they give the AI (total fan of it by the way, but we are just not there yet) to much credit.. It is JUST a machine and they should have some more actual people work through some stuff to verify.. I started to take my channel more serious about 6 months ago and youtube still has no clue what my channel is about... It connects me to online gaming, poker and where I live, rather than my tags and what my channel is ACTUALLY about. Kind of frustrating when your channel is promoted to the wrong audience for such a long period of time just, because of your previous job...
Very surprised you're having these problems. With all the speaking gigs & other events you do on behalf of TH-cam & singing TH-cam's praises, I figured you'd have a direct rep there who could help with these issues. Without a direct contact, reaching out to TH-cam for help is pretty much like randomly screaming into the woods. Very informative video.
He makes short movies, quality , hours , planning , expenses for the making of the movies , etc... I'd be mad for not getting paid right and the lectures he does is side jobs
Anyone that has 10k subs gets to email people about stuff I have access to it and so does he but he can't stop the robots removing his ads which are the problem
John Basedow corporations don't treat employees like humans, they are just tools to profit. So many creators that youtube doesn't see them as individuals, they are just one of millions of "Creators" who are interchangeable in the mind of corporate youtube.
i love youtube. i owe so much to this platform.

Thank you so much for making this video

+GerardJoling Hahahahaha
I’d much rather see a video like this, rather than the typical complaining... good job Casey.
Fooligan yes ! i agree !
Fooligan ayyeeee fooligan
Suh dud
Fooligan Yep agreed
How ecstatic would the community be if TH-cam actually listened to Casey on all of these - It would be like a TH-cam Renaissance. TH-cam 2.0 FTW!!
Demonetization doesn’t make sense because TH-cam still runs advertisements in videos that they demonetize.
Latasha Thomas they’re just telling YOU that YOU won’t see any of that fun money. That’s called greed, right there.😠
Hey. Not fair😳
@@demonitised4942 I will get you one day
wtf
Yeah, totally agree! TH-cam & the businesses advertising on YOUR content is benefiting but you’re NOT! 😡
I just demonetized and I mainly do spiritual stuff...SPIRIT ANIMALS, ZODIAC SIGNS!
Yes to all of this 🙌🏼👍🏼 Well said, Casey.
Thank you for being our voice Casey. This frustration has been going on for way too long. Content creators are constantly being put on the "please hold, your business is important to us", but we are never out of the hold queue
so true I miss the good old days of TH-cam
YT is still a Monopoly, we need other alternatives
Alcohol in the back. DEMONETIZED!!!
Tony Toronto pewdiepies alcohol review vids have been monetized.
Pat C He doesn’t drink often. He does drink on occasions though.
Tony Toronto shoot, our entire channel is dedicated to alcohol.. time to move to another platform lol..
Yea pretty much
Thanks for that
TH-cam 2007- "For Creators by Creators!"
TH-cam 2017- "Bye Creators"
(from H3H3 twitter)
Nater true
what about a day no one uploads so you tube can see the power of the community
Four creators.. Bye creators!
Nater 2018 "no creators"
Community = TH-cam
No community no TH-cam.
sadly I'm getting no revenue until I hit 10000 view :(
I think a powerful solution is to allow us to sell our own ad space to companies we actually resonate with. I think of my niche and how much better targeting it would be for both the creator and the companies as well. We know our audiences and can point them to things either we personally use or resonate with. Happy you made this vid and I hope TH-cam responds with putting the creators before the companies displaying ads.
i think this is possible already
Use your website and do 50 keywords SEO ... You will own everything.
What about small youtubers? Or youtubers that don't necessarily have a channel with a specific purpose (filthy frank, idubbbztv kind of youtubers)
Hey Aaron checked out your channel! It's pretty awesome I'm happy you commented here so I can see your videos! Thank you will be watching your videos soon! Peace
Post net neutrality, TH-cam content creators will be considered competitors to companies worth billions of dollars. ISPs will have no reason to deliver independent TH-cam content.. The TH-cam community is fucked and TH-cam is already catering to ISPs.
I glad you made this video.
TH-cam has lost the "You" in the "Tube"; now....its just a tube.
Alex Dimitrov A shitty one way Tube...... if that even makes sense
yeah that makes sense
Alex Dimitrov Very well said.
but there's no train here
It's as simple as this, TH-cam doesn't have enough money to fund all the new creators.
as always on any subject, well said.
Wil Dasovich kuya Wil!!

Could not agree with you more sir. I am a newbie on TH-cam (6 months) but I have seen all of these issues in this short time. I agree that investment needs to be made into the content creators outside of giving us access to the TH-cam space. Keep rocking brother!
Doctor Mike DOCTOR MIKE
Doctor Mike IM A HUGE FAN
What's up Doc? 😎
Hi dic😊😚
dic lol ^
Had a demonetized video a few minutes ago... On me doing a painting of a wolf. This is really outta hand!
Carl Mazur 😂
That’s one deadly wolf
They demonetized a live stream I had scheduled a few nights ago, BEFORE I had even started the live stream... that is a new level of f'kd up!
how dare you
That's unreal! And insane. Whatever happened to free speech.
Wow Casey, This video gave me chills. As a creator myself, the last few months have left me feeling betrayed, undervalued, lacking faith. Many of my videos were demonetized for absolutely no reason at all. I sent a complaint to youtube and they did re-monetize about half of my videos. Thankfully I still have my full time job.... :/ Thank you so much for presenting some alternatives. This is the exact video the youtube creator community needs. Casey is basically our leader. Our pioneer. If creators as big as him start to push back we could see this hypocrisy die down.
I also love the ending here. Yes, youtube DID remonetize some of my videos, but that was after I appealed. They agreed with me that THEY were wrong. But does that mean that I get any of that money back? No! Us creators seem to be completely at the mercy of this algorithm. I think creators should unite. Maybe construct some sort of union. I mean, I am literally afraid to make certain videos now because I know they won't be monetized. I started creating so I could be free to make whatever I want.
After Skool maybe the community should support/ unsupport TH-cam and their commercials. After all who wants commercials interrupting content anyways. I say if you want monetization set up a go fund me/ patreon or some other account that rewards you through your own popularity instead of having youtube dictating terms to you. Owning you, telling you what you can or can't do. I hate commercials. Let's get rid of them
I completely agree. Creators and viewers don't want ads. Sadly, most creators resort to selling t-shirts, mugs and pushing their patreons to support themselves. I know creators with a millions subs, who are still living with their parents. It's definitely not as glamorous as some creators make it seem.
Nicely said
LOL! This dummy thinks he deserves a union for miscellaneous 1099 income.
I love the After Skool channel! It’s in my top 5 favorites. Great work!
THANK YOU for saying something Casey! The fact that every video I put up has to be manually reviewed because of the algorithm is ridiculous. Given it takes about 2 days to get it remonetized, and I've already gotten most of my views. Casey these are great ideas to help us creators out, and I'm glad you're talking about this. It's gotta change
Community = TH-cam
No community no TH-cam.
sadly I'm getting no revenue until I hit 10000 view :(
You are fortunate. My small channel routinely gets under 1000 views per video, but thanks to a library of over 2000 videos across my channels things keep ticking over. When the algorithm demonitizes a video you need to have 1000+ views within 7 days before the video will get reviewed. That means none of the videos on my small niche channels ever get reviewed.
Lol screw off Glazed, you would do it if you could. Just because you're not an entertaining person with personality to keep people watching you doesn't mean others aren't. I suppose artists should also stop painting because what the fuck are those random paint blobs? Actors should stop acting and "get a real job" instead of playing make-believe?
If you're going to hate don't be stupid, stupid.
Then why the hell are you watching? Leave. No ones forcing you to stay. Go watch your "real actors... and real productions"
So because you don't have an interest in something they should just stop doing it then? Sure, that's the way the world works. Some people like to kick back and relax and see someone leading a comparatively simpler life. Get's some laughs out of me at least, helps me unwind with the non-seriousness of it. That's speaking personally so idk about everyone else, if you don't like it don't watch it. That's about it. No use bitching about it everyone.
At this point, I just think TH-cam is too scared to upset advertisers. Their filtering system is out of control and the worse part definitely is the fact that TH-cam leaves you out of the loop. I'm still confused as to why my videos about fitness gets knocked by demonetization. It is good that they now offer the opportunity to have someone "manually" review the block, but time is money. The more time a video is spent demonetized, especially in the first few days of release, the more people are going to be out of some serious $$$ they should have gotten.
PictureFit I love ur vids, a bunch of people I subscribe to are commenting on this video.
lol didn't expect to see you here
They very likely don't understand much of what their 'filtering algorithm' is doing. It's probably a neural net run by a small team. They train it by showing it stuff they want to filter, stuff they don't want it to filter and tweak it until performance becomes 'acceptable'. They probably don't know exactly what the neural net is using for classifiers, since no one really understands how they work, just that they work.
If that were true, why would they STILL even NOW after all this KNOWINGLY STILL have adds on racist content? I mean calling women whores and bitches and dropping N word and pretty much breaking all the rules.
PictureFit please help me reach 1050 subscribers
Must be nice to get such a quick response from TH-cam about demonitizing a video. I had one of my videos demonitized and I've been waiting a couple of months now for a response. It was flagged as "not suitable for most advertisers". It is a video of rain. RAIN. It is literally a 10 hour video, just like my others, of the sound of rain falling. Months... no response from TH-cam.
Rollo Larson lol
I got a notice saying they were only going to be reviewing videos that got more than a 1000 views in the first 7 days. Not going to happen for most of us.
SleepDroid Studios Just subbed you! You have some amazing content :)
that only applies (apparently) to new channels that have less than 10k view which makes no sense because it's even harder for smaller channels to get 1k in 7 days on one vid.
Lol that's amazing
This video sums up ALL that is Wrong with You Tube..... Great vid
I swear I had a Jimmy Kimmel ad before watching the video
Delay lol 😂😂
TH-cam..... nice play.
Exactly,Thank you
Yes!!! Two to three times a week we post a recipe video. Two to three times a week TH-cam Demonetises the videos and marks them inappropriate. Two to three times a week we appeal. TH-cam always agrees and turns the ads back on. Why? Why? Why? Just feels like they are giving us the shaft over innocuous videos about cookies and cake... They may call us "TH-cam Partners". but I don't feel like much of a partner. More like a serf looking for scraps.
Yeah I got similar problems.
This story sounds SOOOOooo familiar - I do Disney videos - Mickey Mouse - demonetized and always repeal works but WHY go through it?
I do product reviews of household items like mops & essential oil diffusers and this thing happens to me all the time... what the HEY??!!!
This is why I became very discouraged being a creator. I finally found my niche in TH-cam right as they pulled monetization so now I’m producing several videos a week trying to get back into monetization. It’s was a little refreshing to not have to battle the algorithm anymore.
@Le Gourmet "...more like a serf working for scraps". Sounds like the basis for a rallying cry for TH-cam remonstrants: Serfs, Up!!
Fingers crossed. I hope someone hears you.
I randomly stumbled upon your comment and i must say i have never ever been more curious on knowing who Vivian might be and the life she lives. To be honest, hrm, i dont know any Vivian, very plesant name to pronouce (I already know im weird ^^,). Aaaaand with this said, i will not ever watch your channel (sorry) but i already made up my mind. You are a spy, a genius spy that has a serious plan for bringing world peace. By controlling all the bald-iness from world leaders, you will shape this world into a fairytale that 'Dreamworks' couldnt even dream about. Now go, you have work to do. Good luck.... Spy.
Quite literally happens almost every time I upload a new video. End up needing to appeal and losing the bulk of income from the first surge of views, IF my video gets approved after appeal.
Great analysis, Casey. Keep it up.
aye if it isn't Based Zeus
Based Zeus Could be because of the half naked girls on your thumbnails...
Based Zeus
Luv ya
Well, look at your fucking thumbnails.
I heard Myspace was a good alternative platform.
Nostalgia
It's tru though
iChinnyAce u the etho rocks guy!?
Haha brings me back 12 years or so 😂
not just an alternative it was THE social platform alongside msn.oh how things have changed....
We got hit so hard. All we want to do is create content and grow but it has become so hard. We will take a step back, take a deep breath and go at it again. Our ad rev is gone. Thank you Casey for posting.
You should go gdt a job
@@stressfree9780 this is peoples jobs, livelyhoods and everything they have worked for, for years
Casey, Phil and Ethan are probably the three of the most courageous TH-cam creators who always stand up and speak out against TH-cam when they feel the need to. I really salute these guys.
Creative North They know their rights, and they can do something about it.
Creative North those three that you've mentioned can perhaps work together to make a new platform that will compete with youtube. bad idea?
I just hope TH-cam is watching this video
You guys need to watch Sam and Niko's response to "demonetized". There is more to this issue.
Casey phil and ethan were already demonetized a number of times. It's about time to stand up and speak out!
Sadly enough. TH-cam is slowly becoming more and more like TV lol.
Glenn Julifer and in my opinion TV is dying
Buseet
gleen jelifer sama jenifer aduuh galau
TV has no big problems with advertisers. advertisers aren't scared to sponsor news channels that talk about mass shootings or terrorist attacks.
I keep seeing SNL and the Ellen show in recommended videos. GTFO with that shit!
A Tip to TH-camrs whose videos get flagged with "limited or no ads" and have to be manually reviewed. What I do is schedule my videos in a couple days in advance so that if they do get flagged, I can push for review and then it can be approved before the vid goes live. I learned this after weeks of it happening. The videos would miss the initial view velocity which is where most of the views come in (within the first couple days of being posted.) Anyways wanted to share this because it has been working for and other youtuber friends I've talked to say it has been working too. Doing daily Vlogs might be more challenging but if you can upload and let the vid be scheduled for a day later it works pretty well.
plz explain me , why's this new policy?????
Do you upload as unlisted or private first before publishing?
Upload as private and schedule it out a couple days. You can redo the time later just set it so you'll know if it gets flagged and can then request for review. I do daily videos and this works every time I do it.
Awesome, thanks Aaron. Just checked out your channel and love the content as I am a big advocate for personal development when it comes to living in the present, mindfulness and living a happier life. Subbed :)
Aaron Doughty This is a very effective way to do this but at the same time, there should be no reason to do this every time. Especially if you know the content you upload falls within the guide lines
This video brings up really good points. As the community, we need to bring these issues to TH-cam so we can keep this platform going great.
Legend TV do you really trust a monopoly? Remember Microsoft before the lawsuit ?
netflix
amazon
blockbuster
if literally anybody wants to make a better version of TH-cam, now would be the time. Creators are tired of YT
kartana from state farm [IDK] stop hating
Going to twitch now.
overtflow
This could be a Game Changer for Block Buster! I hope they wake up.
That’s what twitch is going for rn. We’ll see what happens.
Twitch right now could come up remotely similar to TH-cam like video saving and others I think they have an opportunity to take over unless TH-cam at least tells people what there plan is or something.
TH-cam is the only social platform that doesn't seem to care about the people using it.
Only one... Yeah right if you say so !!!
Uhh, Facebook? Facebook is so much worse.
...none of them care. Lol.
Emily Olson no that's not true. There are people setups to succeed and others not. There are Gatekeepers inside TH-cam that are not algorithmic their human
Emily Olson Talk about capitalist-consumer relationship in this era. The bigger the capitalist becomes, the lesser care it gives to consumers.
Are you listening TH-cam...You should have hired Casey instead of CNN. He gets it!!!
^^
Keep in mind CNN also gave him a shit load of money for his company.
no they arent listening. they never listen😞
CNN sucks
I watch youtube because I dont watch tv anymore, coz I dont have TV and I love ordinary people and what they share on youtube. :-)
happy kho same. I prefer youtube and real people to tv and series
I like the TH-cam medium but I give Mathgasms to who desire them. I should make more vids but I have been working on too many projects.
As Do I ! No telly and more homo sapiens, but no capitalization! One of the reasons I am an expat and european now ...more humans less BUY THIS AND YOU NEEEED THAT!
Such a professional approach to this issue. Thanks Casey!
TH-cam are happy to take money from the advertisers but not so happy to pay the people creating their content.
YAS💯💯💯💯💯
They take a giant 45% of ad revenue and now THIS...after all these years. And this comes at the tail end of ad revenue declining precipitously for the last few years.
They take a lot more % of the ad revenue than that, Melvin Wei. I'm just figuring this as people who used to be able to have premium channels made about that and it was a much bigger cut than free to watch channels.
I guess TH-cam wants everyone to talk in morse code to get monetized
there are people out there who made video's where they just say "blah blah blah" for 5 minutes and other random things and the video's get demonetized.
UnPhayzable damn right. I email for help on my copyright claims and they straight up give the most vague answer possible leading to them to stay out of the situation entirely
I think its just a fault of the AI
Here's an idea.... how about lettings the creators (or viewers) decide directly which type of ads get shown on their content?
I often see very crude, vulgar, or disgusting ads shown before videos and it's honestly not fair that advertisers don't go through a review process as strict as the actual creators!
Whether I see offensive political ads, constant swearing, or fish and animals being gutted! (Just saw that one last week, wtf) It displays very clearly to me that TH-cam do not care about protecting the viewers. Instead, they care about protecting the advertisers. The viewers can't decide which ads are shown to them, and they can't even skip most of them! (No wonder AdBlock has taken off!)
ZeptejSeFilipa How about making a petition for TH-cam to stop this crap ?
Violet Verdict Did somebody said something about Coca cola ?
Methlokaijufan97
It's an analogy.
The literal correct thing to say is: "Advertisers make TH-cam more money than creators/viewers. Why should youtube not care more about those advertisers than everyone else?"
Orppranator because when a new platform comes along the creators won't be loyal to youtube. They'll jump ship and then youtube won't have new content at all.
Right afterall aren't we the currency We are what youtube sells to advertisers they all want people youtube has it but will lose that soon enough with this new way of not caring for creators
This couldn’t have said it any better! They’ll fix it now! Casey the King of TH-cam!
I would love if youtube completely demonetized the corporate videos.... I’m so sick of seeing late night in my feed... I stopped watching TV because I liked TH-cam better but TH-cam keeps shoving TV down my throat!! It’s irritating
they should! casey could run the show himself!
Sauce Stache iii
Sauce Stache true!!
Sauce Stache idubbz could easily destroy casey
That's fucking right TH-cam bent over for the advertisers 😭 and fucked the creators who drive traffic to youtube. Makes no sense.
I do like your ideas for a solution Casey 😎👌
The bike guy is right 👌👍
Don't hold back Joe! Tell us how you (and the rest of us) really feel!
If it wasn’t for pewdiepie careless actions there wouldn’t have been an adpocalypse
You watch Casey too wow 😮
The YT executives think about, go to lunch with, hunt, chase, and bend over for those who write the fat checks and that is Advertisers! The creators are needed but since they are always there, and they aren't paying big checks, the YT company doesn't worry about them.
Casey, you absolutely killed it in this video. Nobody could have made a well spoken video like this with such clear points that directly speak to all the problems happening on this platform. Well done Sir!
lmao I love how mad you are about this. This is like the 2nd time I comment on a Casey video btw, I was just impressed about how he spoke about the subject professionally. Calm down :)
I'm glad you're really talking about this 'cause this has been getting worse FOR YEARS!! They have NOT been "doing their best," for a long time. They sold us out a long time ago!!
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it :) Hope TH-cam sees it!
HENRY THE RC CAR well....
it won't
You're absolutely right, Casey! TH-cam NEEDS to stop focusing only on the advertisers and more on the content creators who do all the work. Or else some other platform will come along and take over their own show.
Exactly...no advertisers means no YT. Without those advertisers there wouldnt be any channel for all these youtubers to upload their videos. That is of course unless Google wants to own a mammoth company that has all the freedom of speech you want but brings no revenue.
Izzy G True but however TH-cam does need to listen to the community instead of just doing random stupid shit they should talk to the community about their content. Because it's not fair when people who are family friendly and even if they aren't they work really hard popping out content every week some even everyday. And it's not fair that they're having money taken from then when they've been here when TH-cam wasn't shit. It's the community, the small and big youtubers that made TH-cam what it was.
Mikenstein yeah
😂😂 people used to upload for the fun of it... soon as they started paying everyone just wanted more and more. I’d fuck the creators off keep it as a host for people who just record random shit like accidents, events etc etc
Mikenstein It would be so beautiful
TH-cam REALLY needs to watch this video..
probably youtube told casey to make this video to people think that youtube will improve something for the creators... the final part says it all
Rayhart Twins they will.... Believe me
YESSSSS
Yes they do!
hahahah YOU ARE JUST SAYING THAT TO STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE AND NOT PISS OFF TH-cam COMPLETELY HAHHAH you bent over for them again if not completely
Transparency and communication. Key for any business.
This was a well needed video for the TH-cam Creator Community. Thank you for being a voice for us all Casey! We’ve had to appeal several videos as well and TH-cam has turned on monetization on all of them except one. But I do strongly agree that the creators need more support and help getting their content out and properly distributed through all of the clutter that’s on TH-cam. It’s a lot harder to get recognition on TH-cam today than 5 - 10 years ago. Especially with all of the major celebrities joining in and being catered to by the platform.
It's time to d-d-d-du- demonetized
Nice usage
D-d-d-d d-d-d-d- demonetize*
Glad you made this. Maybe YT will listen to you ! Facebook will be adding a new Video Platform soon. Many already flipped over there, and getting Big $$$ in Beta
The FAM congrats on 100k
Somebody called 'The FAM' who uses Big $$$... you must be a complete douche in real life. I just know it.
The FAM facebook isnt going to become the new youtube, although we need one. But youtube is already so universal.
The FAM 5
Facebook allows users to monetize videos now??
Oh dayum!! Hit the nail with current events !
thank you for this Casey
overtflow hey! I love your videos
Can you buy me a ps4
Been waiting for you to make something like this....I agree with a lot of what you mentioned in this video. I wanted to make something similar but alas, I don't have anywhere close to the audience you do, so thank you for fighting for us AND this platform :)
even an alphalete athlete agrees!
Ducati Squad
yeah buddy!
Jaret Campisi my Channel is dead due to Demonisation
Good stuff Jaret!
Facebook Watch is probably stoked about all of this....
Facebook has the leverage to give creators what they want. They can win on sheer volume alone. Satisfy the big guys and the little guys. TH-cam is getting ahead of itself.
None of this YT BS drives people to Facebook, because FB has no viable revenue sharing program for small and medium sized creators. For the most part Facebook monetizes *everything* (including stolen content from other platforms), and they keep all the ad revenue themselves ($9B just last quarter). Also if you have a ton of followers FB will randomly limit distribution of new content, so if you want your content to reach all of your *own* followers, you have to pay FB. The only way to leverage FB's larger potential audience to make money is to post sponsored content, or promote your own external products/services.
Fuck Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg can go fuck himself with all the freebooted and letterboxed Facebook videos
As a Member of "THE COMMUNITY" I thank you in veritas for that presentation and talk..you have such a significant and noteable influence with TH-cam ,you conveyed my distrust and confusion in a format that cannot be ignored! Thank You SIR!!!!!!
I could not agree with this video more. I love TH-cam, I love being a TH-camr, and I very much want the company to have success. But it needs to care its creators.
we do need more care!
preach
Yes. Casey. YES.
I am glad he has the guts to say something on the current status of the @TH-cam community.
Casey is testing the TH-cam algorithm at the end of the video, seeing if it will get demonetized because of the F bomb in the song
what's good whatever
Post something
Sorry bucko, this is a pg13 zone 👮🤚🛑
what popping baby boo?
lol right
Really good summation. I hope they listen to you. Too bad successful businesses eventually get greedy.
Waiting for the right competition to come by...
Phantom Rides youtube is wayyyy to big to have any competitors anytime soon. Even twitch is TINY in comparision :(
There are many alternatives to TH-cam that have already "come by." The fact that u don't know this emphasizes the problem: people get stuck to the same brands and don't bother to search for the little guy.
Phantom Rides facebook watch is coming
facebook is worse, they give nothing no nobody.
All it needs is for the people with a lot of subscribers to start moving over to another platform for people for youtube to take notice.
Does TH-cam dare to demonitize vevo channels? I would like to know that!
Clash Of Clans with Soni Akshay TH-cam do t source Ads for those channels, Vevo or the label do - so it works different...same with Kimmel...disney runs ads for his vids
Robert Hurley I think TH-cam has control over ads even though the networks place their own ad campaign, maybe
Vevo channels actually follow the TH-cam rules so I highly doubt they will ever get demonetized.
Ninja1inblack what about songs swear words and sexuality
TH-cam has the biggest audience but it can lose it quickly if their content creators leave all together. We are not here for TH-cam, we are here for content and TH-cam just happens to be the platform we on
You know what. Although I just read this today. That is the most true thing ever 👍
This is such a good reflection. This guy is so smart and so aware. Love you CNeistat!!
THANK YOU CASEY! From all your fans who are creators we thank you for posting this video.
In Toronto, there are multiple billboards advertising Canadian TH-camrs.
Theres a few in vancouver mate im a canadain to eh :)
That's really cool! I was definitely not aware of that. It's good TH-cam is starting to think about that.
Wow... and we're back on the east coast of Canada lol 🤣🤣😫😫🙃🙃
I think they care about the community but they care about advertisers more.
Lexi Forrest money talks unfortunately
I think Casey's point is that without the foundation that is the community TH-cam has nothing to advertise on.
Lexi Forrest true
it's money after all
Excellent points on both sides of the issue - thank you.
If this video gets demonetized… I’m out.
YourFired see ya
YourFired it did
Ssandcrab82 TH-cam I had an ad in front of this. Pretty sure your wrong.
Your name is misspelled.
YourFired I don't see any ads...
Totally agree with everything you said
ApexTV l agree too. I never was monitized but other channels were and now they weren't
Personally I have 1 Million subscribers, over half of my videos are demonetised, im relying on my fans to pay my rent right now. Its a little scary.
ESO - Fallout & Elder Scrolls Guides get a job
Have you got a patreon? Hey btw, cool to see you here.
Casey Rich the idea is to do what you love. A lot of us Love being TH-camrs it's our dreams and when we're told to get a real job and throw away our dreams. That kinda sucks right?
Casey Rich Hey hey hey, kid. The kids room over there. Go sit there and turn on the cartoons. Adults are talking over here.
Casey Rich I don't see you saying that to your favorite celebrity or pop stars. Why are these youtubers any different? They work hard to entertain you and they deserve to have it as a career.
I am getting plagued as of late on my car detailing channel! I don't curse or anything in it, just give reviews about car detailing products. I would say 50% of my videos are nailed as soon as they go live. The only solution I have found is to not loose ad revenue and make the video private again and request a review. It ALWAYS gets cleared and I make it public again but it is such a darn pain in my ass! It usually takes me a day or two where I could be getting views/$$$ that I am loosing out on. I can see why the huge channels are suffering. TH-cam definitely needs competition, BIG TIME!
I've been victimized by their bait-and-switch too. It's a real struggle to release new content now.
How do they review it if it is private? Dont you have to have so many views/minutes watch time in the last 24 hour period (or 28 days or something)?
Congrats to 8 Million subs Casey! We love u. 🎉
Preach it Neistat. I would like to also note that when TH-cam (a platform I love but wish they'd do better) messes up. Us animators get screwed big time. I assume most creators who can't post daily content are in the same boat and I feel like TH-cam really does need to cater to their creators more often vs keeping us all in the dark about everything. (Or at least keep the people informed who CAN and ARE making a living off of this website)
SomeThingElseYT I like your vids man I support you
Hey man love your stuff and it's great to know you watch Casey too
I Love your videos :D
What are you doing here 👀
SomeThingElseYT yeah
I believe I can speak for the whole community that we appreciate the fact that influential and very big youtubers like you create videos like this to basically give more attention on how broken the current youtube system / Bot is. Improvement is obligatory, it can't be the way it is now.
A good system or better system than current 1, would be that once the Bot finds a video that may be "Not ad friendly" it doesn't demonetize it, but sends that video over for manual review to youtube team, and the decision should be made by youtube team whether the video is indeed Ad friendly or NOT.
If you agree with me please thumb this comment up and spread this on other big youtuber channels / videos so maybe it will eventually get attention and youtube maybe, just maybe will eventually listen.
This would be the best option but its simply impossible to achieve. More than 500 hours of video are uploaded EVERY MINUTE. So even if 1% of them aren't add friendly, that means 5 hours of video, or around 40-60 videos that a team has to watch within a minute to judge if its add friendly or not.
That would simply require too big of a team, and too much money to spend for TH-cam
Thank you for posting this. I earn my living from TH-cam but my channel is still pretty small so it's you big guys that have the power to do something about it. I've had lost of videos demonetized and then remonetized and it really hurts.
It sucks how TH-cam is slowly caring less about its creators. Driving them out. Jeopardizing their job security. TH-cam, please wake up and listen to the creators. We drive your business and without us, this platform won’t survive. xx
Spirited Gal we are all looking for other places to go. It will take some time
No, TH-cam can die. It's this online streaming creator market that needs to survive. Someone just needs to create a website that's the same as TH-cam, just without the controversy.
Spirited Gal no no no let them fail and see what happens. They've had over two years to correct this.
Clearly TH-cam is trying to go a different direction, that is why youtubers are being pushed out, hence youtube creating TH-cam Tv and Red. Streaming is evidently the future of Entertainment, and i think TH-cam have realized this. Remember this site went from being video sharing site to a content creation site and now to a streaming site.
The way Netflix are growing at the moment, it would only take them to roll out a service for professional channels which could draw a lot of the community over OR just upload on both platforms, TH-cam could see massive losses overnight!!
watch this video get demonetized
...aaaand its done
BCHDGaming so far it hasn't lol
no ads for me, I think it is demonetized
BCHDGaming Probably, if they have the guts to demonetize a video talking about demonetization.
Your comment is demonitized
That EAZY-E tho!!!!
This is the last place i'd expect it xD

Casey's a Real Muthaphuckkin G
The Patsy Family edited. Thanks man
I respect him so much for telling the truth when he's a big youtuber himself. Can't do anything but respect that Casey. Thank You. Ive been here since 2008, I just feel as if the loyalty on youtube part is so shaky. Its extremely discouraging.
I hate demonetization... I don't have a lot of subscribers & don't make a lot of money on here, but the little dollars I do make is nice.. I hate to see that yellow dollar sign. I'm a huge fan tho Casey 🤘🏾 great video
*DEMONETIZED ! ....TH-camrs like me had their whole channel DEMONETIZED, not just a video or two, and no explanation after countless appeals. Imagine your same analogy of the $500 a week where the entire amount is taken & can't get a hold of your boss ! The communication is now worse because once you're DEMONETIZED you can't contact TH-cam support any longer...it seems YT will only talk to you if you're being paid, yet you can't find out why you're NOT being paid, a really bad catch 22. Before there was a WalMart there was KMART...TH-cam will not be around when another platform comes around and ppl like me will flee, hence the eventual downfall*
StarrTile y’all getting demonetized because you keep using cap lock titles. Smh. Look it up.
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom
Pierre Lescours oh that is awful 😂
It's not always a matter of depending on TH-cam. I don't depend on TH-cam for money but it is incredibly disheartening to go from 2000 views a video to barely hitting 400. From getting a few payments a year of $100 for cool pocket change to no payments.
exactly!
Love these videos
Same
Cool channel
You haven't even watched the video yet

Netflix should add a way for creators to upload to a free version of Netflix and pay a premium for a regular Netflix
KAG REACTS I was thinking the same thing. But watch Google buy out Netflix.
Wow,
Believe me or not, I was thinking about that for quite sometime.
NETFLIX can have it's own NetFlixTube that's connected to your account.
It is growing globally now in a record setting pace and people really paying for it.
It's better for us to write to the CEO and make it their 2nd but connected to the original Netflix platform and make the UI simpler & easier to use.
We are ALL for it...
Let's go!!!
If netflix do or create a space free for creators to upload it will be a blast.
Nahh Netflix won’t be Netflix anymore with toxic people posting toxic shit
I don’t think Netflix would do this because Netflix is considered a premium. They could lose subscriptions because of the free content offering
YES CASEY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS TO COME ONLINE
My newest video was uploaded just a week ago! Please watch it :D

Very good points!
It doesn't really affect the $10 a month I make yet, but I can definitely see how it could affect big and smaller channels if they push things until it collapses.
hey Casey is only making like 10k a month cut him some slack
It's already 3 noodle meals :p
Hahaha! Indeed!
Famous TH-camrs really need to do the ad boycott again. By disabling ads TH-cam does not make money and they would probably take action and have a solution.
HypnotiZe the number of likes on this comment shows how idiotic the system and people here have come to be. Your point is accurate mate
Cermet Thank you! Lets make this comment grow so casey can see this solutuion!
I agree, they could do more to support us. Even the creator support team lacks practical, useful help. Thank you for speaking out!
Bring back the featured creator box on the home page. shout out to 2011 youtube
DrewIsSharing I miss the old days 👌🏻
Felipe Olvera Oh I miss those too! Hey, 2019 is my 10 years of doing TH-cam 💁🏼
and bring back video responses!!!
oathh
I just started to post 6 months ago, and I have 75k subscribers and
almost 5 million views on my channel. Unfortunately, because I live in
Romania, I get paid approximately 100$ for 1M views monthly. I don't
know if it's fair or not, because I actually have a job, but I sure do
want to make my living out of doing something I love doing. I also
started creating vloggs, because they are a lot of fun, on another
channel (LaPuiu, with my wife), and still I'm saying.. we spend a lot of
time and money on these vloggs, and we love doing it, but we would
really love getting something in return. Time can never be bought back!
Sorry for the long post! I love the way you are thinking Casey! With
much love, Michael, from Bucharest, Romania!
LaMisto 100 for 1M? That's absurd. I hope TH-cam will fix this soon bro. Cheers!
start with english
LaMisto my question is how do you have 75k in just 6 months?
Lightning Whip there’s other youtubers that have gotten a million in that time so
Nice one M
Thank you for making this video Casey!!
I thought Uber was bad. I feel the same way about Uber but after hearing about TH-cam Uber does a pretty good job.
YES YES YES, and more money for us creators = better content :)
Casey neistat content cop - TH-cam (BUSTED)
Companies have been claiming my vids even though they're 100 percent covered by fair use. I dispute the claims and companies keep their claim and I don't get to monetize my own vids. I'm a super small youtuber and I don't have to rely on this to survive but it's still bullshit that TH-cam won't bother to help me in any way no matter how my videos are protected legally. I've emailed for support and they are so vague in the answers leading to their choice to not get involved and help in any way. It really hurts the small youtubers a lot in trying to grow in any way shape or form
24 Frames Of Nick yeah it seems like every time you use Creative Commons material CD Baby monetizes the video immediately. You have to challenge it every time.
24 Frames Of Nick by the way that is so annoying
I fucking hate that! I used A FREE beat and there was someone that STOLE that beat changed it up a "bit" and signed it with a label so that everyone that uses his STOLEN beat will get a copy right claim. Its such fucking bull shit! I even messaged the person myself and no response.
I can assure you, TH-cam gives ZERO fucks about smaller channels simply because they make pennies off of us. Now if they made that Neistat dough, maybe they'd care. But judging by how they're treating even their largest cash cows, I wouldn't hold my breath.
24 Frames Of Nick you need to go get a lawyer and have them look into your case, especially in light of the recent court ruling on TH-cam and Fair Use in the Ethan and Hila Klein (aka H3H3) legal case - just Google "H3H3 lawsuit" and you will have hours of reading. You will continue to get your videos flagged since the other company knows you are not fighting back - once you show you are not laying down for them anymore, then things will change for you.
THANK YOU
100% agree. You cover all points that need to be covered with youtubes relationship with the community. TH-cam needs to be more transparent and caring of its strong community. A community which may lose faith in youtube itself if these big issues aren't addressed. I really hope the people at youtube view this video and take in these serious points that Casey raises, for the sake of all us creators. Thank you so much for making this important video Casey.
I’m someone who works full time in online advertising and I just started a channel. I emailed YT because one of my videos were randomly demonetized. I asked them why and they not only gave me a very short unclear response, they actually were totally wrong about most points they made.
Most people who don’t work in online advertising would not know that this information is wrong but it scares me that YT is totally okay with just feeding people information that is without a shadow of a doubt incorrect.
Still a great platform but they need to fix some things.
Successful Minds weren't the messages just automatic replies?
facebook has the same problem in communication with their users, unfortunately it is something that is a part of every large platform :(
Msdj Jdndn I think so
because you work in advertising - doesnt mean you work in youtube advertising. It is almost certain that the venue/level/spectrum of advertising you work in is entirely unrelated to - or is on such a small scale compared to that of youtube that your experience / knowledge is almost unrelatable. You are the guy whos worked on cars in shop class in highschool - saying you know about the work a master mechanic who services the presidents limo does.
I feel like they give the AI (total fan of it by the way, but we are just not there yet) to much credit.. It is JUST a machine and they should have some more actual people work through some stuff to verify.. I started to take my channel more serious about 6 months ago and youtube still has no clue what my channel is about... It connects me to online gaming, poker and where I live, rather than my tags and what my channel is ACTUALLY about. Kind of frustrating when your channel is promoted to the wrong audience for such a long period of time just, because of your previous job...
Very surprised you're having these problems. With all the speaking gigs & other events you do on behalf of TH-cam & singing TH-cam's praises, I figured you'd have a direct rep there who could help with these issues. Without a direct contact, reaching out to TH-cam for help is pretty much like randomly screaming into the woods. Very informative video.
He makes short movies, quality , hours , planning , expenses for the making of the movies , etc... I'd be mad for not getting paid right and the lectures he does is side jobs
Pay attention please, he talks about the TH-cam community that he, you and I are a part of.
Anyone that has 10k subs gets to email people about stuff I have access to it and so does he but he can't stop the robots removing his ads which are the problem
John Basedow corporations don't treat employees like humans, they are just tools to profit. So many creators that youtube doesn't see them as individuals, they are just one of millions of "Creators" who are interchangeable in the mind of corporate youtube.
He who pays the piper calls the tune. He who has the gold makes the rules.
