YouTube networks drop thousands of creators as YouTube policy shifts
I wish there was more transparency here from both the MCNs and especially YouTube, but I'm also leery about some complaints from channel owners. Specifically the ones that sound like they feel entitled to the services YouTube provides them (free distribution, tooling, outsourced ad sales, audience, cross promotion, etc) at zero "cost" (not necessarily monetary costs) to themselves.<p>Creators should feel free to try and lobby YouTube to make things better for themselves (YouTube depends on creators), but please try and steer clear of things that look like entitlement. It's a bad look.<p>And if things really are so bad, don't distribute via YouTube if the downsides of their policies outweight the benefits. If your content is good and a larger movement starts, that's the strongest message you can send to YT.
