- YOUTUBE WIPES THE FLOOR WITH THE CREATOrS THAT BUILT IT
Hi guys let me first start off by saying that I'm sorry I haven't posted here or on my website in about a week, I am still waiting on some things on my end to clear up before I can go 100% into it so I'm very thankful that I have all of your patience. Today I would like to talk about how bad Youtube has treated me as a small and growing creator. My channel opened on Jan 22nd, 2016 and I hit the ground running in my first 6 months on Youtube I was able to get 10,000 Subscribers and over 3 million views. By the end of my first complete year, i ended with about 14,000 Subscribers and 5 million views.do you notice how it slowed down in the last six months? yeah well, I did too and that's because of 2 issues that nobody wants to talk about. First issue was every time I upload a video to Youtube I get about 15 unsubs which are referred to as an "age gate" it's a part of youtube AI bot that basically says if you are too young and the channel you are subscribing to is not "family Friendly" you will be unsubscribed. but not that person, they are sneaky about that to they unsubscribe the oldest and most active account they can find. Issue 2 was Vine had closed there doors before the end of 2016 so naturally, all the Viners panicked and they all went over to youtube and got the free channel with millions of subscribers without really having to do anything to earn it. Then March 2017 comes around and it's the Major advertisers all at once pulled all their ads off of Youtube making it impossible for small Creators to get a Consistent paycheck. Well by this point Youtube Ceo comes out and says don't worry everything will be fine and we will get the Big advertisers back. 2017 came and went and it only got worse. The thing I can't understand is people like Logan Paul were allowed to make millions of dollars on content which in my opinion was even more so not "family friendly" then mine yet he was allowed to make millions of dollars but Youtube has literally slowed the growth of my Youtube Channel. I'm telling you guys it's so frustrating to work so hard for something and to be doing it well, like really good I was going to have a huge channel it was growing so fast and now I don't even think it's possible for me to build a big Youtube Channel. I am very glad that I am working on the couple of projects I'm working on now because Youtube has literally trashed anything positive I was working on. Will I continue to post on Youtube? yes but only because I have a lot of fans on my Youtube channel. I wouldn't do it for any other reasons cause, believe me, there isn't much money coming from that. anyways guys I love your support thanks for sticking with me my website and my couple other projects are gonna take off and do great I just know it.
