YouTube Killed ALL My Channel's Revenue: JOURNALISM NOT ALLOWED
YouTube ^ | 161004 | David Seaman

Posted on 10/04/2016 7:55:32 PM PDT by Arthur McGowan

About 20 minutes after uploading my summary video of the Guccifer 2.0 Clinton Foundation data dump / hack, which is time sensitive news reporting and commentary in the public interest, YouTube stripped ALL of my uploaded videos to date of their ad monetization capability, without notice or warning. I don't know if I'll continue uploading videos here, I had big plans for growing this channel but without ANY revenue coming in, it will be impossible to grow, travel to other cities I'd like to interview people in... I was so grateful and hopeful after HuffPo let me go because it resulted in many of you wonderful souls finding me and following me here. But now this is, too, a dead end. What a sad, bought, corrupt society we've become. I pray to God for better. We deserve so much better as a nation, and we deserve so much better from Google and YouTube. These nerds have lost their humanity and their shared sense of what it even means to be an AMERICAN. Disgraceful and unacceptable.

Happened to me, too.

The libs get together and flag your channel; 3 flags and you’re gone.

I made a video showing how real German kids are getting bullied like crazy by “migrants”.

THOSE people banded together and did in my channel.

Yup- Even drudge plays the game when it comes to pay to play. He might put up a quick mention of the hack to look good. But then he will go silent.

Well they DID give away the Internet on Saturday. They’re just getting warmed up before the clampdown.

You probably have done so already but I think you might consider replicating your vids at DailyMotion (French YouTube equivalent) and Vimeo..?

When you get 2 flags it's good to periodically copy the list of your subcribers, as you have maybe 1 or 2 days before they chop your head off.

Then you start a new, empty zombie account before the axe falls and you can message your subs, alerting them to your successor channel.

The French people exposing illegal "street mosques" had to do this a zillion times, the muzzies just kept coming at them giving them Hate Flags and getting them shut down.

The onerous thing is only maybe half or less of your subs will follow, and fewer will make the hop 10 or more times, so it's a non-stop battle between growing and shrinking, with the shrinking side usually winning.

I was really stubborn, though, and stuck with them a very long time. They're probably still doing that.

...... Well .... Then there's the solution .... Two can play this game .... Just band together and start FReeping all of the Liberal Verbal Vomit Youtube channels and complain that it is offensive .... then see how they react when they receive a mountain of complaints. Then when they don't drop those channels .... file a complaint against YouTube!

..... Time for the Silent Majority to rise up!!

If you decide to go to Mountain View you could call and email KSFO 650 AM radio in San Francisco, they’re the go-to conservative talk station there.

They eased back from VERY conservative about 8 months ago, but you might still get your story on the air and you might be able to get a small audience if you make a presentation near the gate sign on their campus, there.

I don’t know if Alex has a PP correspondent nearby, but that way you could get it on the air, sorta.

Social media is the new public square. We have guaranteed rights of free speech. Short of yelling fire in a theater or inciting to violence then one’s opinion should stand.

PC is antithetical to free speech. To the extent that social media engines take sides true speech suffers - Alec Baldwin’s (or some actor?) chill wind? Facebook, Twitter, SnapChat and Youtube - other “big players”?

Everybody has a phone. People sleep with them. Control of social media is control of the system. Just sayin’.

He took the video down as he’s now been reinstated. Just an FYI.

Good news!

“JOURNALISM NOT ALLOWED”

I’ve been reading a lot of news lately....

... This is apparently the most accurate statement being made these days.

Consider Amazon Video Direct. I posted a video that was monetized on YouTube and Amazon Video Direct. On YouTube I got a little over 300 hits. On Amazon I got almost 30,000 in half the time. (Amazon measures in minutes viewed instead of hits, but that’s an approximation.)

I think Vimeo has monetization of videos as well. Worth checking out.

You probably need to build a subscriber base without relying on the metrics of any of these companies anyway, if you really want to build a revenue stream to finance your content creation.

Then again, maybe we need alternatives to the liberal owned sites, just like FR is an alternative to the MSM.

This is really sad.

The true minority in this country is conservatives. The media and other lib authorities are our “paterollers” - controlling us, beating us into submission. #conservativelivesmatter

Sadly so...Happening on Facebook too!

Even sadder is that so few here seemed to be terribly concerned...concerned enough to write a letter, make a call...I put up probably a dozen articles and yet, articles about Brad and Angelina Pitt got more attention...

I am very concerned that so many accept these actions by the globalist progressive radical left as fait accompli and hence do nothing...very dangerous thinking IMHO.

I think of Ronald Reagan’s famous quotes below, and they encourage me to continue trying:

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
