Youtube makes changes to their ad partner program. I have sympathy for those impacted but personally it doesn’t really matter to me. Obviously.

 

The video previous to this one that I uploaded was actually a pretty good video of the snow here in Georgia and driving up our driveway which is a little less than half a mile long. But you know how many views it got? 0. I am not even putting keywords with this one. Just uploading to put on my website.

For the people watching the video here on sayata.net, I refer to my youtube channel mightymuddychuck.  Some of the videos have gotten traffic but the more recent videos, not so much.  And that is okay.  It is what it is.

Below is the video of our LOOOOOONG driveway after the Georgia Snow

Welcome to the mightymuddychuck channel
00:13
I’m a Chuck. I think when I say that is when I
00:17
lose viewers nothing thank you what are
00:22
you doing them everybody doing there cut
00:25
that shit up
00:26
Mildred you cut that shit I thought you
00:28
watched you don’t you watch it you cut
00:30
that shit off now so YouTube you know
00:36
they were like you get 10,000 views you
00:40
can apply you can apply to be monetized
00:44
to have your videos monetize there’s the
00:46
same time they’re doing this of course
00:47
she’s listening I was a big big YouTube
00:50
creators talking about how so many of
00:52
their videos will not be monetized that
00:54
YouTube would not monetize them and they
00:56
were having various other problems and
01:00
at the same time you know YouTube has
01:02
young people now you get 10,000 views
01:06
you can apply to be monetized that’s
01:10
what they’re telling people now before I
01:13
go further I need to make certain things
01:14
very clear one I have I have sympathy
01:17
for the YouTube channels that wanted to
01:19
be monetized and now can or war monetize
01:22
and have lost that the ability you know
01:25
to show our ties miss on their videos
01:28
you know I have sympathy for those
01:30
people so misunderstand that I have
01:32
sympathy at the same time I also want to
01:35
make clear that I never seriously
01:37
intended to monetize this channel I
01:40
wanted to when I came back to this
01:43
channel in in 2017 I kinda wanted to
01:48
test the channel out based on the change
01:51
that YouTube had just made on that ten
01:53
thousand years because you know I always
01:57
say when they did that should be a
01:59
problem to get 10,000 views I mean I’ve
02:00
got a bit on the other channel start
02:02
this channel another on other channels
02:04
other videos you know 30,000 years you
02:07
know but mind you just doesn’t
02:11
those videos are sexy videos and don’t
02:16
break the rules don’t misunderstand but
02:18
but they could not be monetized that
02:21
would not even try to monetize them you
02:23
know I know that going in but you know
02:25
my point is is those videos got a good
02:29
many views with no problem so when I
02:33
came to this channel I just want to say
02:35
okay how hard would it be to get 10,000
02:38
views I didn’t think it’d be hard well
02:43
so I operated this channel kind of like
02:45
what I thought other people’s that was
02:47
you know seriously in the game and
02:49
trying to do like a talk type format
02:54
channel you know discussing various
02:57
issues topical issues and also I got
02:59
through it my farm stuff because you
03:01
know why not because I said that’s
03:04
something that people would uh but
03:06
that’s the kind of videos that people
03:07
might do when they start a channel
03:08
thinking about in the back of the head
03:10
you know I want to monetize this that’s
03:11
what they might think of the back of the
03:12
head and I did you know how to so I kind
03:16
of mixed it up a little bit I didn’t say
03:17
just one thing but I didn’t do the sexy
03:20
[Laughter]
03:23
is not not mean um I’m not sexy the
03:32
videos are not animate now so anyway I
03:37
want so when I came back to this channel
03:39
I just wanted to use it it’s verified
03:41
you know that’s something that people’s
03:43
has in their mind to monetize that’s
03:46
something they would want done and they
03:49
want to kind of stay close to the best
03:51
with the weather do the videos and I try
03:53
to do that although I have too much
03:55
cousin in my videos I realize that now I
03:57
just naturally do so anyway the point is
04:08
on this channel
04:10
it took from April to December that’s
04:14
about the time I started the policy to
04:16
ten thousand view policy it took from
04:18
April to December for me to get 10,000
04:20
views now you may look on ten list of my
04:22
views I got some videos
04:24
got some traffic guys so this is good
04:26
yeah like 1 2 5 7 views I mean might as
04:30
well say zero views when it was that low
04:33
so anyway it took from April to December
04:37
to get that 10,000 Busic I imagine a lot
04:40
of people around Christmas was probably
04:42
in that same situation they started
04:44
about the time the new policy went into
04:46
place and they’re just getting to the
04:48
point where they have that 10,000 bees
04:52
[Laughter]
04:56
now some people might think that oh no
05:00
nobody does as bad as you Chuck
05:01
nobody’s I know how to monitor the
05:06
system I know how to look at the videos
05:08
I know I’ve looked at the lower channels
05:10
I know how many people’s doing as bad as
05:12
I am and there’s a lot so yeah there was
05:15
a lot of people then most likely we took
05:17
from about April to December to get to
05:22
get those 10,000 bees and so once people
05:27
started getting those 10,000 views
05:29
YouTube started thinking okay this is we
05:33
still got a problem here we’re going on
05:34
we’re going to have to change the
05:36
goalposts we’ve got to make it even more
05:39
difficult because we’re gonna have to
05:40
have people reviewing this we don’t want
05:43
all these people applying for
05:44
monetization and once more we don’t have
05:46
to add inventory to fill all this
05:48
monetization even if we were to want to
05:51
accept the people we don’t have enough
05:52
ads to run all these channels so they
05:56
came up with what they came up with him
05:58
saying mutants they moved the goalposts
06:00
which made a lot of people angry as
06:05
peopIe point out in this video I think
06:07
basically they don’t people angry and at
06:13
some point I think I’m one of my tweets
06:14
in in Twitter when I was doing a project
06:17
and I have a partner for that particular
06:19
project and you know the kind of person
06:22
that wants to be loved you know wants to
06:24
be like this nothing wrong with that but
06:26
a business non business you gotta have
06:30
somebody that has a job description
06:31
asshole and I’m a clearly the person
06:34
yeah I’m more than willing to be the
06:36
asshole there’s certain times we got
06:38
say no there are certain jobs we gotta
06:40
put our foot down
06:41
so yeah I’m more than willing to be the
06:44
asshole when an asshole is required in
06:46
the job description so yeah so I wasn’t
06:48
all together up you know from people
06:50
that was involved in that particular
06:51
product I come from a background you
06:56
know I was never as a popular kid you
07:01
know it I guess at there are times I
07:09
guess it when you’re not the popular kid
07:11
are actually use a dislike kid the
07:13
dislike person this times it weighs on
07:16
you be a lot of say never weighs on you
07:18
there’s times it does it doesn’t matter
07:20
in life at times you got to be an
07:25
asshole and that it’s that if that means
07:27
everybody in the world hates your guts
07:29
but that’s what’s required to succeed
07:33
then fine everybody in the world hate my
07:36
guts and so I can kind of understand the
07:40
executives at Google’s mentality and
07:42
YouTube’s mentality is I knew there’s
07:44
gonna I knew there’s gonna get a bunch
07:46
of people just like you know they knew
07:49
that at the same time they look
07:52
realistically as I looked at what was
07:54
happening and they had to say we got to
08:00
change it we can’t 10,000 hours that’s
08:03
not tough enough we got to be bigger
08:05
assholes here so they came up well you
08:07
gotta have a thousand subscribers and he
08:09
feel notion you dashboard for different
08:11
things that already had that thousand
08:12
subscriber thing that wasn’t totally new
08:14
either just one of the 10,000 bees
08:17
wasn’t she wasn’t new either that was
08:19
already in place go back to the least
08:21
April and the 10th and the 1,000
08:26
subscribers all different things was in
08:29
your dashboard that was already a
08:30
requirement but then they added the in
08:34
the 4000 view hours and that means you
08:39
know the number of hours that your
08:42
collective audience views your videos on
08:44
so many of my videos the people’s like
08:46
they clicked on it to click off some you
08:48
know my view hours as low as always a
08:51
little bit
08:53
Mildred ignore your husband cut me back
08:55
home murdered please
08:58
well YouTube made it even worse was a
09:01
change they had to make even though I’ve
09:03
you know wasn’t with new people that was
09:05
fixing to start applying they had to
09:09
deal with that but yeah they made yeah
09:13
well you know if we’re gonna be an
09:15
asshole then we need to be asked on all
09:17
these people not me now requirement yeah
09:19
we’re gonna be an asshole to more people
09:21
in this decision people apply we got to
09:24
remove people from the system we got to
09:25
make the the rule you the rule to
09:27
uniform they need to be uniform they
09:30
need to be like a schoolgirl they need
09:32
to be in a universe yeah yeah so and
09:41
that’s not really set people off when
09:43
there were people that have been not
09:45
making much money you’re not talking
09:47
much money they’re wrecking a little bit
09:49
and and they were probably like I was
09:53
explaining earlier at least I think of
09:55
this kind of change the end of these
09:58
videos so much
10:07
so he went for loss they translate back
10:12
what yet it I’m doing now as I point out
10:17
earlier you know a lot of people that
10:20
they’re not making any money that’s true
10:22
there’s a different big creators have
10:24
pointed that out you know you’re not
10:25
talking about a whole lot of money but
10:27
they were already set up they were
10:28
already monetized hoping hoping hoping
10:31
for that viral video hoping for that
10:34
viral video and then a YouTube pulled
10:37
the rug out from under him so they’re
10:39
not going to be monetizing yeah dude I’m
10:42
gonna hit dud I don’t hit that viral
10:43
video then yeah people are suddenly
10:46
gonna like me picking boogers out of my
10:47
nose and eating them yeah and now
10:52
[Music]
11:00
so anyway I have sympathy for the people
11:03
that’s been impacted to make clear I was
11:05
in fact because I had no intention of
11:06
monetizing through Google
11:08
I’m hoping to make money other ways
11:10
through traffic if I ever get traffic on
11:11
the on the channel but you know I knew
11:14
from the from the start that I was not
11:18
going to be able to monetize a channel
11:20
through YouTube although I was kind of
11:22
playing along with that kind of in my
11:25
experiment but now the experiment is
11:27
over and that kind of gives me some
11:30
freedom so I’m not gonna censor my
11:31
causing Chuck you are censoring your
11:33
custody
11:34
really you were you are you were just
11:37
you were holding those cuss words back
11:39
honestly Chuck think about what I’m not
11:44
gonna dumbass understand I’m not gonna
11:45
break the rules I know what the rules
11:47
are I’m not gonna break the rules but
11:49
you know this you did the videos one way
11:51
when you’re hoping to monetize and you
11:52
think that some of these videos might be
11:56
be by somebody’s it’s just a nitpicker
11:59
you know a nitpicker mind you know go
12:03
over your videos before they reject you
12:05
I know it’s not like I said in my
12:08
experiment I was just kind of trying to
12:10
follow the same process it’s a somebody
12:11
that acts for one day montage videos we
12:13
go through but that’s gone now baby
12:16
that’s gone and all you people that’s in
12:18
it whether you wanted to be monetized it
12:20
really never knows serious thought about
12:22
being mom’s house regards just freedom
12:24
there there’s freedom let thy freedom
12:27
bell ring baby you ain’t gonna be
12:29
monetized not through YouTube not
12:32
through Google you’re not gonna be
12:34
monetized let that freedom ring but that
12:38
ring let that freedom bell ring get more
12:45
creative with your videos don’t break
12:47
the rules don’t break the rules don’t
12:50
break the rules but without that
12:53
monetization you got a lot more freedom
12:55
and you’re more likely to get more
12:56
traffic you’re more likely to get more
13:00
traffic and you might be able to make
13:02
money through patreon or some other
13:04
system that you might develop or some
13:07
other of the programs that you’re able
13:09
to work with
13:13
might be better for you let that freedom
13:16
bell ring them and let that freedom bell
13:19
ring love you if you made this point of
13:26
video Hospice I wished I had some good
13:36
advice to give you I can say you need to
13:38
look at other and bigger creators of me
13:41
are trying to tell people something you
13:43
need to look at other ways to monetize I
13:46
mean there have even those people just
13:49
in the program we’re having to look for
13:50
other ways to monetize beauty pass
13:52
happen to look for other ways to
13:53
monetize you look at all the big craters
13:56
yeah they’re trying to monetize this
13:58
because those advertisements are not
14:00
doing it man so I don’t know what the
14:04
future YouTube is really but while
14:08
they’re here there let us use our
14:12
bandwidth they host our videos you know
14:17
and what do you love and hate Google I
14:19
kind of love Google and hate Google I
14:20
kind of got that duality going on I love
14:22
Google I hate Google cuz I go way back
14:25
I mean I go back to when the main search
14:27
engine was goto.com Alta Vista how even
14:32
yahoo had it going on with something at
14:34
one point by buying up go to and Alta
14:38
Vista things change
14:46
you think YouTube’s hurting you they may
14:49
be hurting themselves even more but the
14:56
bottom line is right now they’re
14:58
allowing us to use their bandwidth
14:59
they’re they’re hosting our videos
15:01
they’re letting us embed our videos on
15:04
other web sites even even if you feel
15:12
pissed off at Google and we all do at
15:15
times we all feel pissed off at Google
15:16
times you know letting us use their
15:20
bandwidth letting letting our videos be
15:25
hosted by them
15:27
that’s a good thing that deserves a
15:30
little you know left there are some
15:32
hearts definitely deserves a little
15:34
blow-up airway
15:35
you know don’t always hate to asshole
15:38
sometimes there’s a reason people are
15:40
asshole sometimes it’s recent businesses
15:42
have to be assholes
15:43
love the ass love the asshole that’s
15:48
what I was like Cherokee just been
15:54
