Anyone who has decided to make a serious go at that sort of media as their primary income stream learned very early that youtube is notorious for exactly that sort of thing, and started to diversify. The only ones left with all their eggs in that particular basket -- well -- the initial opinion stands.

If it is a fool, I guess you have to fall for at least one a year  , it still occurs to me that uploading Youtube videos as an April fool and then leaving them up to be seen afterwards is an even worse than usual form of an April fool, considering I only saw it today.Therefor, by the rules of April Fool's, I am not the fool

Another new youtube change: You can no longer turn on monetization on your channel until it has 10,000 lifetime views. Naturally, they can still put ads on your videos and collect revenue from them even if you can't. Weird change.

It's a standard "steal from the poor" grab. Five bucks in ad revenue doesn't mean much to any one small timer, but multiply that by thousands or millions of channels and you've got another few points of profit.

That article seems to say that ads won't run at all on channels until they hit the 10k mark, which seems reasonable enough.

Depends on how you interpret this line: quote:Starting today, we will no longer serve ads on YPP videos until the channel reaches 10k lifetime views. Which could mean either way, really. It's slightly less scummy if that's the case, at least.

this is to stop click fraud on ads. one of the ways people were scamming youtube ads is to open a burner account, upload random videos, monetize them, and shove bot traffic at them that would immediately click any and all ads. youtube has done their best to keep up with it, but the automated nature of their payment platform means that it is still possible and profitable to get one round of payouts before the fraudulent channel was found and burned. it's been a problem for quite some time and is one of the leading drags on how much money legitimate content creators make on their ads; advertisers bid on the cost of ads much like an auction, and bad actors in the auction depress prices for everyone. 10k lifetime views is not very many. my channel is by no means terribly popular and it still has multiple millions of lifetime views. this is a good change for basically everyone. the main legitimate users it will hurt are people who are doing offbeat things who are struggling to find their market. ostensibly they could use ad revenue to then pay for their own ads to help them find their market. it is a pretty small subsection, though. Added Space posted:It's a standard "steal from the poor" grab. Five bucks in ad revenue doesn't mean much to any one small timer, but multiply that by thousands or millions of channels and you've got another few points of profit. btw: this is not relevant because they already have a minimum payout threshold established. i can't remember what it is precisely but i think it is like $20. that threshold is common industry practice on all software payment platforms to stop someone from paying more in transfer fees than they do in actual payouts. to deposit your earnings they have to pay someone to move the money, after all.

Last I checked youtube's payment threshold was $100. So youtube wouldn't pay you until you accumulated at minimum $100 from their ads. Which is in itself near impossible to do if you have a small channel unless your videos rake in somewhere over 10k viewers per video.

For the record, it took me a year almost to the day as a small channel to make $100 in ad revenue (at which point I just turned monetization off because gently caress that), took... about 175,000 views? Either way, it was an amount most small channels do not reach. It's already very stacked against channels who are just starting out which is a bummer whether it helps defeat the fraud or not.

Consider that these fraudsters are hitting 100 and more with fewer than 10k views to give you an idea of how bad the fraud is btw

Turns out he has no intentions of actually getting married any time soon due to his massive debt - they just got engaged for the sake of being engaged. Also, he replied to all of his "haters" who were questioning how he managed to afford an engagement ring: https://www.etsy.com/listing/384613...a002f:384613038

TaurusOxford posted:"haters" It's sad that he always looks at everyone as haters because most of the people who are critical of him and question his decisions do so because they honestly want good things for him and want to make sure he's not loving himself over. We're pretty invested in someone who seems to give us nothing but poo poo in return.

Wait, what's the point of being engaged if you're just doing it to be engaged? You mean to tell me they have no plans of getting married but they still got engaged?! I don't know why this confuses me. It's DSP, I shouldn't try and make sense of it.

He claimed in his latest vlog that they MIGHT get married in a year or two under the conditions that his Twitch popularity increases and it becomes a reliable primary source of income. Keep in mind, he only has about 270 subs and struggles to get above 400 viewers even on a day 1 AAA release. Some days he struggles to maintain even 300.

So if I watch the loud inept man fumble around incompetently at video games more, I can encourage him to get married to a woman who clearly has no sense. I hope they stream the wedding like that other couple did (at least I hope it was only the one couple that live-streamed their wedding).
