VIDEO: Is YouTube CHEATING Creators Out of Their Earnings?
Rumble ^ | February 24, 2023 | DUmmie FUnnies

VIDEO

As you can see in this video, YouTube is officially claiming that all revenue earned by creators up to the moment of demonetization of their channels will be REFUNDED to the advertisers if the demonetization period lasts for more than 50 days. Since the vast majority of channels that are demonetized remain so for more than 50 days, this affects quite a bit of creators and revenue. The strange thing is that demonetized channels at least up to September 2020 were paid their earnings up to the point of demonetization as happened to my DUmmie FUnnies channel. However, starting at least by early 2022, that policy had changed so as to deny that revenue to the creators.

Does YouTube really return the creators' (and their own) revenue earned by demonetized channels in the form of refunds to the advertisers? Is this even legal? I hope Congress soon looks into this matter. In particular YouTube must be required to provide DOCUMENTATION that such refunds are made to the advertisers as they claim.

BTW, any videos you see supposedly of Ball Lightning are fake. No actual recording of that phenomena has yet been recorded.

FUn FAct: Rumble actually pays the creators MORE than YouTube. Some of my videos earn two to three times as much as they would at YouTube.

i guess im one of the yt class of 2006 that said no to ads with my channel.

and so with yt demonitizing a counts it did not like, i was ok. now, with yt accused of stealing income froom creators who said yes to ads, im ok.

i never made s video with getting money as a result.

Google has also been caught stealing from advertisers.
They were/are putting ads on ad farms instead of placing them where the advertisers thought they would go to make them sales. Google only offered to give them a discount next time.
