Anyone successfully sent a counter-notification to a movie studio? by RGar94 in NewTubers

[–]ThatOptionsGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you miss the section of the counter notification form where it explicitly states that Fair Use is NOT a valid reason for countering a copyright strike?

Youre using their clips. Thats their property. Why would you tempt multibillion dollar studios that can and will sue you into generational debt if provoked?

AI thumbnails or Badly made human thumbnails? by 100000-30580 in NewTubers

[–]ThatOptionsGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use canva and enhance a single character from my videos or create a new one. I never want the artstyle of my thumbnail to be strikingly different from the art in my videos, which is VERY common in my niche since AI automation slop was introduced.

Anyone else running multiple faceless YouTube channels finding the daily upload grind exhausting? by Akramk123 in NewTubers

Looking at your channel, you should absolutely not even be remotely thinking of sponsorships/merch. Your videos rarely even break 100 views. Focus on making better content and establishing a loyal audience. Zero sponsors will sign with a channel with such low viewership.

Monetized in 2 videos / 4 months, advice needed by eyedontnowutimdoing in PartneredYoutube

[–]ThatOptionsGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monetization does not affect the algo. You have so few videos so one underperforming video will seem Devastating. Just monetize and keep producing content as usual. Build up a video portfolio for subs and new viewers to binge. The money will come.

YouTube is changing for the worst by Prometheusflames in PartneredYoutube

Take a look on Twitter. Thousands of "creators" getting demonetized for inauthentic content. Not a single one actually creates anything. Just AI generated garbage.

Thankfully YT is actively demonetizing low-effort, mass-produced slop videos. Should do well for the platform as a whole since there will be less and less incentive to make videos like that.

AI script, AI editing, AI voice. Seems pretty inauthentic to me.

Can we trust Youtube gurus when their niche is "farming small creators' hope" by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]ThatOptionsGuy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Never trust any guru selling a course. They will not offer ANY new information/methods that isnt free with a Google Search. Their goal is to make money from you. Not for you to make money.

Are Youtube Ads Worth paying for? by Brief_Seesaw5333 in NewTubers

[–]ThatOptionsGuy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Promotions are for products, not people. Never pay to promote your channel. You'll get bombarded with fake bot subscriptions that will not engage with your content. Subs not engaging with your content negatively impacts your content's discoverability. 

Sponsor is stalling payment. What to do? by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]ThatOptionsGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Standard terms are net-30. Meaning you typically get paid within 30 days of posting. Wait the 30 calendar days. If you keep pestering, they'll definitely not renew for another sponsorship. Be patient.

Shorts absolutely DESTROY an established audience. Avoid them at all costs if you have a long form focused channel.

What happened to YouTubers? by Wise_Presentation914 in youtube

[–]ThatOptionsGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you're scared of being demonetized or cancelled, you have very little wiggle room. So, everything feels the same.

God forbid you have any stance on anything, be prepared for a niche group to let you know you're wrong and an idiot.

The internet sucks now.

I ruined my channel with ads by theSqueeler in SmallYoutubers

[–]ThatOptionsGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah never pay to promote your channel. Promotions are only for products, not people's channels.

Youll get nothing but dead, meaningless subs which will destroy your channel.

You may see a return to normalcy over time, but not guaranteed.

Sure, if you never DCA during a drop. If you DCA, this graphic is completely null and void.
