Yeah, it's utter garbage. It's gotten to the point where half the Youtubers now just disable ads on their videos and set up patreons for their fans to support them because there is just too much risk of your videos being flagged if there are ads on them. Then there was the case earlier this week where Warner-Chappel, another subsidiary of the same company that now owns Machinima and was responsible for this shutdown, went against a deal between a Star Wars fan film creator and LucasFilm to not have any ads on the Vader fan film, only for Warner-Chappel to copyright flag the Vader Fan Film and enable ads with the money being funneled to them, something they didn't work on and had no involvement with (though thankfully LucasFilm stepped in after the internet backlash and forced Warner-Chappel to disable ads again). |
This also seems to be giving the companies more leverage to just have free reign when it comes to slapping their ads and making money from all the users out there. Youtubers use patreon, while companies make money from them unchecked, it's quite the shitty system, because the companies want to have their cake, eat it too, while denying you any kind of slice.
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
