I dunno if this is the right place to ask, but is there any way to find out if a video was linked somewhere? Sometimes one particular part of a series has a disproportionately larger amount of views and I'm interested in that sort of stuff.

Sometimes one particular part of a series has a disproportionately larger amount of views and I'm interested in that sort of stuff. Go to the video of yours in question and click the Analytics button, on the bar that appears only for you just above the header:  The bottom left square on the analytics page shows where it is played from most, and the right shows where said traffic comes from:  Clicking on the bottom right square gives you this graph with all of the various traffic sources:   You can then click on any of the traffic sources to get the name of the site it was linked from. The bottom left square also shows similar information so try checking there as well. The number of traffic sources you have depends on the age of the video and where it has been spread around to. This dumb loving mashup I made years ago is my most viewed video by about 6,000 views and it's gained about 40 playback sources since 2013.

There's another part where you might also be able to find links to your videos. In case people didn't just share an URL but posted your video embedded, you'll want to have the left square in CJacobs shot, also just known as 'Playback locations' on your Analytics page. From there, click 'Embedded in external websites and apps'. That might or might not help. For me the top result is 'embedly.com', which just appears to be a solution for other sites to embed stuff, so I don't actually know where it came from, just that it's embedded ~somewhere~ Edit: Also, of course, the 'Sharing' thing on the Analytics page, and then 'Sharing service'. But that is possible the most worthless of all options because it only shows specific actions like copy-pasting the URL. And for some reason people are consistently able to share my videos through voodoo or something and the category 'Unknown' is at the top for me.

Yeah, I wish it said specifically where they were embedded. I have two videos who got a ton of embedded views, one from 4chan and one from Reddit.

One of my Spec Ops videos matched copyright for one of the licensed songs, and Youtube asked me if I wanted to SHARE the revenue with the claimant because it thought it was a cover song. That is absolutely ridiculous. If your COVER of a song triggers copyright detection, they can still file a claim. It's almost more insulting that the option they give you is to split the revenue or have a third party content claim stuck on your account.

They're not wrong... song covers are derivative works, and only the original copyright holder has the right to produce derivative works or grant permission for others to do so. In the United States you can get a compulsory license, but that involves paying royalties, so that puts you back in the same revenue sharing boat.

steinrokkan posted:How is it more stupid than monetizing the far more derivative work of video game footage? First of all, they are entirely separate forms of media and treating them with the same umbrella rules just because they're posted on the same website, while easy, is not exactly fair. And second, who said it wasn't? It also leads to cases where the strike itself isn't even applicable. In my case I just posted about, the strike is a) on the wrong song. It's a remix of the song by the same artist on a different album; but the claim is for the original. Because of that, b) Youtube assumes it is a cover of the original song by me because their copyright claim system is even more broken now than it was before they allowed companies to allow cover song matches. It's a niche case, but even one example means the system needs to work better than it does. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Jun 22, 2015 |

That 4'33" thing was a joke where someone uploaded that length of copyrighted audio which then got muted.

Well it's not Youtube, it's the music industry in general that's weird and archaic about that sort of stuff. It's a big can of worms to discuss but it all basically boils down to the music industry making sure it makes every single penny it can while giving as little possible back to musicians. You could bet that each musician (unless they're a real big name, but even then) got some fraction of a penny for each bit from each ad or play if they're lucky. It doesn't surprise me that they have pressured Youtube so much about content matching stuff. It's an industry built on making money off other people's work. But enough of this bitter musician's rant... Regardless it's probably not worth monetizing youtube videos unless you regularly getting 10k+ views.

Fair enough, I'm just used to seeing the story of the video we were talking about morphing into a bunch of stuff. Really wouldn't surprise me if youtube's copyright system would actually flag 4'33" though.

Was an extremely weird flag to get. I only got the "joke" (Because it was someone trolling) when I realised that there isn't even much sound at the particular point it was flagging. 4 minutes, 33 loving seconds. Ha. loving. Ha.

Like he says when he gets back on stream in the video, he was prepared for it to happen. It's really sad and says a lot about internet culture that he felt the NEED to be prepared for it to happen, and it speaks even more/worse that he was right to assume so, but good on him for anticipating it and dealing with it in a way that didn't get him arrested I guess.

Yeah I don't like DSP at all but props to him for responding to the cops calmly and professionally. Also kudos to the local PD for knowing exactly what was going on as soon as they saw all of his GAMER poo poo. Whoever called it in deserves to do some time for it. Unfortunately they'll probably never be caught.
