Must be nice to get such a quick response from KZbin about demonitizing a video. I had one of my videos demonitized and I've been waiting a couple of months now for a response. It was flagged as "not suitable for most advertisers". It is a video of rain. RAIN. It is literally a 10 hour video, just like my others, of the sound of rain falling. Months... no response from KZbin.

The YT executives think about, go to lunch with, hunt, chase, and bend over for those who write the fat checks and that is Advertisers! The creators are needed but since they are always there, and they aren't paying big checks, the YT company doesn't worry about them.

[@BigBeauBrown]

THANK YOU for saying something Casey! The fact that every video I put up has to be manually reviewed because of the algorithm is ridiculous. Given it takes about 2 days to get it remonetized, and I've already gotten most of my views. Casey these are great ideas to help us creators out, and I'm glad you're talking about this. It's gotta change

[@Dk4KOfficial]

Community = KZbin No community no KZbin. sadly I'm getting no revenue until I hit 10000 view :(

[@trailrunplanet]

You are fortunate. My small channel routinely gets under 1000 views per video, but thanks to a library of over 2000 videos across my channels things keep ticking over. When the algorithm demonitizes a video you need to have 1000+ views within 7 days before the video will get reviewed. That means none of the videos on my small niche channels ever get reviewed.

[@RajSingh-qc6lq]

Lol screw off Glazed, you would do it if you could. Just because you're not an entertaining person with personality to keep people watching you doesn't mean others aren't. I suppose artists should also stop painting because what the fuck are those random paint blobs? Actors should stop acting and "get a real job" instead of playing make-believe? If you're going to hate don't be stupid, stupid.

[@RajSingh-qc6lq]

Then why the hell are you watching? Leave. No ones forcing you to stay. Go watch your "real actors... and real productions"

[@RajSingh-qc6lq]

So because you don't have an interest in something they should just stop doing it then? Sure, that's the way the world works. Some people like to kick back and relax and see someone leading a comparatively simpler life. Get's some laughs out of me at least, helps me unwind with the non-seriousness of it. That's speaking personally so idk about everyone else, if you don't like it don't watch it. That's about it. No use bitching about it everyone.

[@mryorkielover]

[@PictureFit]

At this point, I just think KZbin is too scared to upset advertisers. Their filtering system is out of control and the worse part definitely is the fact that KZbin leaves you out of the loop. I'm still confused as to why my videos about fitness gets knocked by demonetization. It is good that they now offer the opportunity to have someone "manually" review the block, but time is money. The more time a video is spent demonetized, especially in the first few days of release, the more people are going to be out of some serious $$$ they should have gotten.

[@h2ofishing776]

PictureFit I love ur vids, a bunch of people I subscribe to are commenting on this video.

[@GeoPol01]

lol didn't expect to see you here

[@eva2k0]

They very likely don't understand much of what their 'filtering algorithm' is doing. It's probably a neural net run by a small team. They train it by showing it stuff they want to filter, stuff they don't want it to filter and tweak it until performance becomes 'acceptable'. They probably don't know exactly what the neural net is using for classifiers, since no one really understands how they work, just that they work.

[@StupidityExodusHub]

If that were true, why would they STILL even NOW after all this KNOWINGLY STILL have adds on racist content? I mean calling women whores and bitches and dropping N word and pretty much breaking all the rules.

[@AaronDoughty44]

A Tip to KZbinrs whose videos get flagged with "limited or no ads" and have to be manually reviewed. What I do is schedule my videos in a couple days in advance so that if they do get flagged, I can push for review and then it can be approved before the vid goes live. I learned this after weeks of it happening. The videos would miss the initial view velocity which is where most of the views come in (within the first couple days of being posted.) Anyways wanted to share this because it has been working for and other youtuber friends I've talked to say it has been working too. Doing daily Vlogs might be more challenging but if you can upload and let the vid be scheduled for a day later it works pretty well.

[@beyondthestars4299]

plz explain me , why's this new policy?????

[@ShameenMiller]

Do you upload as unlisted or private first before publishing?

[@AaronDoughty44]

Upload as private and schedule it out a couple days. You can redo the time later just set it so you'll know if it gets flagged and can then request for review. I do daily videos and this works every time I do it.

[@ShameenMiller]

Awesome, thanks Aaron. Just checked out your channel and love the content as I am a big advocate for personal development when it comes to living in the present, mindfulness and living a happier life. Subbed :)

[@joeystew6201]

Wow Casey, This video gave me chills. As a creator myself, the last few months have left me feeling betrayed, undervalued, lacking faith. Many of my videos were demonetized for absolutely no reason at all. I sent a complaint to youtube and they did re-monetize about half of my videos. Thankfully I still have my full time job.... :/ Thank you so much for presenting some alternatives. This is the exact video the youtube creator community needs. Casey is basically our leader. Our pioneer. If creators as big as him start to push back we could see this hypocrisy die down. I also love the ending here. Yes, youtube DID remonetize some of my videos, but that was after I appealed. They agreed with me that THEY were wrong. But does that mean that I get any of that money back? No! Us creators seem to be completely at the mercy of this algorithm. I think creators should unite. Maybe construct some sort of union. I mean, I am literally afraid to make certain videos now because I know they won't be monetized. I started creating so I could be free to make whatever I want.

[@williegillie5712]

After Skool maybe the community should support/ unsupport KZbin and their commercials. After all who wants commercials interrupting content anyways. I say if you want monetization set up a go fund me/ patreon or some other account that rewards you through your own popularity instead of having youtube dictating terms to you. Owning you, telling you what you can or can't do. I hate commercials. Let's get rid of them

[@AfterSkool]

I completely agree. Creators and viewers don't want ads. Sadly, most creators resort to selling t-shirts, mugs and pushing their patreons to support themselves. I know creators with a millions subs, who are still living with their parents. It's definitely not as glamorous as some creators make it seem.

KZbin always agrees and turns the ads back on. Why? Why? Why? Just feels like they are giving us the shaft over innocuous videos about cookies and cake... They may call us "KZbin Partners". but I don't feel like much of a partner. More like a serf looking for scraps.

[@AgrippaKCsGunTime]

so true I miss the good old days of KZbin

[@ZeptejSeFilipa]

Here's an idea.... how about lettings the creators (or viewers) decide directly which type of ads get shown on their content? I often see very crude, vulgar, or disgusting ads shown before videos and it's honestly not fair that advertisers don't go through a review process as strict as the actual creators! Whether I see offensive political ads, constant swearing, or fish and animals being gutted! (Just saw that one last week, wtf) It displays very clearly to me that KZbin do not care about protecting the viewers. Instead, they care about protecting the advertisers. The viewers can't decide which ads are shown to them, and they can't even skip most of them! (No wonder AdBlock has taken off!)

Quite literally happens almost every time I upload a new video. End up needing to appeal and losing the bulk of income from the first surge of views, IF my video gets approved after appeal. Great analysis, Casey. Keep it up.

This comment is irrelevant, but Casey would be a cool teacher...👌🍎📚

[@donutsacrifice2588]

You're not wrong, though. Hell, I'd pay my own money just to be in that class. That would be cool.

[@LeiosLabs]

He has a news show called Beme News where he talks about news sometimes. It's pretty good!

[@minecraftminertime]

Actually, teachers have to run with the curriculum. So you wouldn't really learn anything different. Although he doesn't like school anyway. As long as you mean a tutor that is not in the school system, he would be fine.

[@francoissmith2295]

@CaseyNeistat this man is telling the truth. I would choose you to be my teacher even if you knew nothing about the subject.

[@koennagel7518]

Not irrelevant exactly..

[@ZanarGaming]

I believe I can speak for the whole community that we appreciate the fact that influential and very big youtubers like you create videos like this to basically give more attention on how broken the current youtube system / Bot is. Improvement is obligatory, it can't be the way it is now. A good system or better system than current 1, would be that once the Bot finds a video that may be "Not ad friendly" it doesn't demonetize it, but sends that video over for manual review to youtube team, and the decision should be made by youtube team whether the video is indeed Ad friendly or NOT. If you agree with me please thumb this comment up and spread this on other big youtuber channels / videos so maybe it will eventually get attention and youtube maybe, just maybe will eventually listen.

[@Z4rkys]

This would be the best option but its simply impossible to achieve. More than 500 hours of video are uploaded EVERY MINUTE. So even if 1% of them aren't add friendly, that means 5 hours of video, or around 40-60 videos that a team has to watch within a minute to judge if its add friendly or not. That would simply require too big of a team, and too much money to spend for KZbin

[@giuggyskitchen9154]

All of this does not make sense to me. Every week youtube demonetizes one (or two) of my videos, and I have a cooking channel!🙄

[@seanmiller4559]

Have they still been demonitized?

[@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272]

Money is their sense (google)

[@Tmansgokarts]

Ha, strange that I mentioned this stuff 3 yrs ago. Remember when we had that 4 second intro that could run in front of our content ? It was something we had a few years ago. We could put up an intro in front of all or videos that didnt have an intro. .... BUT some creators used it for 4 second ad placement , It was awesome and I was in the process of looking for advertisers. What made it so great is that it was an added section to a video that went across ALL your videos. Unlike KZbins ad placement that playes ads across 37% of content .... the 4 second intro/ad would play against 100% of content it was implemented on. Along with that , it was an added video to content and wasn't classified as an ad so adblocker wouldn't work. But from its enactment to the time of removal was 2 months.

[@theymcalegends8199]

I hate demonetization... I don't have a lot of subscribers & don't make a lot of money on here, but the little dollars I do make is nice.. I hate to see that yellow dollar sign. I'm a huge fan tho Casey 🤘🏾 great video

[@EmilyOlson]

KZbin is the only social platform that doesn't seem to care about the people using it.

[@deanishere7237]

Only one... Yeah right if you say so !!!

[@doubtful_seer]

Uhh, Facebook? Facebook is so much worse.

[@KrissyMeow]

...none of them care. Lol.

[@Louinator59]

[@Jonnyvonwallstrom]

Emily Olson Talk about capitalist-consumer relationship in this era. The bigger the capitalist becomes, the lesser care it gives to consumers.

[@RussellStudiosUSA]

This video brings up really good points. As the community, we need to bring these issues to KZbin so we can keep this platform going great.

[@StarrTile]

*DEMONETIZED ! ....KZbinrs like me had their whole channel DEMONETIZED, not just a video or two, and no explanation after countless appeals. Imagine your same analogy of the $500 a week where the entire amount is taken & can't get a hold of your boss ! The communication is now worse because once you're DEMONETIZED you can't contact KZbin support any longer...it seems YT will only talk to you if you're being paid, yet you can't find out why you're NOT being paid, a really bad catch 22. Before there was a WalMart there was KMART...KZbin will not be around when another platform comes around and ppl like me will flee, hence the eventual downfall*

[@hyciq]

[@ACIDGREENTECHNO]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom

[@TiwannaKollock]

[@Wendifur]

It's not always a matter of depending on KZbin. I don't depend on KZbin for money but it is incredibly disheartening to go from 2000 views a video to barely hitting 400. From getting a few payments a year of $100 for cool pocket change to no payments.

[@AM2PMReviews]

exactly!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thanks for this video brother. 41K subs here and my videos are turning yellow right after I upload. That causes me to lose the revenue from the initial influx of views. They are causing me to lose real money. I make my living off this channel.

[@MilkySubstance]

Will be 100% honest, I couldnt give a fuck about youtube. Havent for a long time. If suddenly Phil Defranco and Casey said they were moving their new shows to Twitch, Dailymotion, Vimeo or even fucking redtube, I would immediately follow them and leave the youtube platform. I dont care about this website at all. I dont care about the people that work there, and I definitely dont care about the shitstorm around their absolute inability to manage a video hosting website as of the last few years. I care about the creators here, and the moment they go, I go. I am not loyal to KZbin.

[@DeniseHoukMedia]

[@viniciusaraujo7698]

HENRY THE RC CAR well.... it won't

[@Acc0rd79]

I am getting plagued as of late on my car detailing channel! I don't curse or anything in it, just give reviews about car detailing products. I would say 50% of my videos are nailed as soon as they go live. The only solution I have found is to not loose ad revenue and make the video private again and request a review. It ALWAYS gets cleared and I make it public again but it is such a darn pain in my ass! It usually takes me a day or two where I could be getting views/$$$ that I am loosing out on. I can see why the huge channels are suffering. KZbin definitely needs competition, BIG TIME!

[@TheMelvinWei]

I've been victimized by their bait-and-switch too. It's a real struggle to release new content now.

[@MattBlytheTheOne]

How do they review it if it is private? Dont you have to have so many views/minutes watch time in the last 24 hour period (or 28 days or something)?

[@aldagusta8625]

Netflix should add a way for creators to upload to a free version of Netflix and pay a premium for a regular Netflix

[@justinvader8141]

KAG REACTS I was thinking the same thing. But watch Google buy out Netflix.

[@CliffordMiemban]

Wow, Believe me or not, I was thinking about that for quite sometime. NETFLIX can have it's own NetFlixTube that's connected to your account. It is growing globally now in a record setting pace and people really paying for it. It's better for us to write to the CEO and make it their 2nd but connected to the original Netflix platform and make the UI simpler & easier to use. We are ALL for it... Let's go!!!

[@JavierSamaArt]

If netflix do or create a space free for creators to upload it will be a blast.

[@emmanuelu]

Nahh Netflix won’t be Netflix anymore with toxic people posting toxic shit

[@izaacgraham4242]

I don’t think Netflix would do this because Netflix is considered a premium. They could lose subscriptions because of the free content offering

[@LaMisto]

I just started to post 6 months ago, and I have 75k subscribers and almost 5 million views on my channel. Unfortunately, because I live in Romania, I get paid approximately 100$ for 1M views monthly. I don't know if it's fair or not, because I actually have a job, but I sure do want to make my living out of doing something I love doing. I also started creating vloggs, because they are a lot of fun, on another channel (LaPuiu, with my wife), and still I'm saying.. we spend a lot of time and money on these vloggs, and we love doing it, but we would really love getting something in return. Time can never be bought back! Sorry for the long post! I love the way you are thinking Casey! With much love, Michael, from Bucharest, Romania!

[@jayhandave]

LaMisto 100 for 1M? That's absurd. I hope KZbin will fix this soon bro. Cheers!

[@nicholaschoi7402]

KZbin also needs to fix their goddamn recommendation system. Stuff I already watched keeps popping up in my feed

[@Dampney_]

Nicholas Choi yes, totally agree! One of the strangest features on KZbin.

[@MadOgre]

This situation now in 2019, is only worse in my opinion. Because it's become savagely political and there's been too many deplatforming because of different political opinion or subjects that is not politically correct. Such as Firearms related channels. Many of my friends have had their channels deleted completely because they talked about guns. And those not deplatformed have been demonetized. Such as my channel, which was small, but I used to get about 600 dollars a month. Now, nothing.

[@TheDormuns]

This was a well needed video for the KZbin Creator Community. Thank you for being a voice for us all Casey! We’ve had to appeal several videos as well and KZbin has turned on monetization on all of them except one. But I do strongly agree that the creators need more support and help getting their content out and properly distributed through all of the clutter that’s on KZbin. It’s a lot harder to get recognition on KZbin today than 5 - 10 years ago. Especially with all of the major celebrities joining in and being catered to by the platform.

[@strawberryjpeg6000]

[@MichaelCoveYT]

You're absolutely right, Casey! KZbin NEEDS to stop focusing only on the advertisers and more on the content creators who do all the work. Or else some other platform will come along and take over their own show.

[@carlosparra8976]

Exactly...no advertisers means no YT. Without those advertisers there wouldnt be any channel for all these youtubers to upload their videos. That is of course unless Google wants to own a mammoth company that has all the freedom of speech you want but brings no revenue.

[@soulfularts6088]

Izzy G True but however KZbin does need to listen to the community instead of just doing random stupid shit they should talk to the community about their content. Because it's not fair when people who are family friendly and even if they aren't they work really hard popping out content every week some even everyday. And it's not fair that they're having money taken from then when they've been here when KZbin wasn't shit. It's the community, the small and big youtubers that made KZbin what it was.

[@airplaneplustrainguy8143]

Mikenstein yeah

[@theonlyreview7246]

😂😂 people used to upload for the fun of it... soon as they started paying everyone just wanted more and more. I’d fuck the creators off keep it as a host for people who just record random shit like accidents, events etc etc

[@lifeasmr1143]

[@MowerMan]

You'd never get a lawnmower repair channel on TV. I love creating content for my subscribers.

[@mitchparker7763]

I’m someone who works full time in online advertising and I just started a channel. I emailed YT because one of my videos were randomly demonetized. I asked them why and they not only gave me a very short unclear response, they actually were totally wrong about most points they made. Most people who don’t work in online advertising would not know that this information is wrong but it scares me that YT is totally okay with just feeding people information that is without a shadow of a doubt incorrect. Still a great platform but they need to fix some things.

[@TomislavMoze]

[@nate9382]

Msdj Jdndn I think so

[@readyrepairs]

because you work in advertising - doesnt mean you work in youtube advertising. It is almost certain that the venue/level/spectrum of advertising you work in is entirely unrelated to - or is on such a small scale compared to that of youtube that your experience / knowledge is almost unrelatable. You are the guy whos worked on cars in shop class in highschool - saying you know about the work a master mechanic who services the presidents limo does.

[@CrazyChaosClara]

I feel like they give the AI (total fan of it by the way, but we are just not there yet) to much credit.. It is JUST a machine and they should have some more actual people work through some stuff to verify.. I started to take my channel more serious about 6 months ago and youtube still has no clue what my channel is about... It connects me to online gaming, poker and where I live, rather than my tags and what my channel is ACTUALLY about. Kind of frustrating when your channel is promoted to the wrong audience for such a long period of time just, because of your previous job...

They take a giant 45% of ad revenue and now THIS...after all these years. And this comes at the tail end of ad revenue declining precipitously for the last few years.

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

They take a lot more % of the ad revenue than that, Melvin Wei. I'm just figuring this as people who used to be able to have premium channels made about that and it was a much bigger cut than free to watch channels.

[@Sailingdoodles]

Thank you for posting this. I earn my living from KZbin but my channel is still pretty small so it's you big guys that have the power to do something about it. I've had lost of videos demonetized and then remonetized and it really hurts.

I don’t understand why KZbin don’t care about the quality but numbers ,don’t see the difference between opening kinder surprise video and a video of traveling that cost 1k + dollars?If KZbin wants to improve they should consider how to help quality content creators and not focusing only on numbers of subs or views :(

[@byyCeevu]

Congrats to 8 Million subs Casey! We love u. 🎉

[@theaparnaverma]

It sucks how KZbin is slowly caring less about its creators. Driving them out. Jeopardizing their job security. KZbin, please wake up and listen to the creators. We drive your business and without us, this platform won’t survive. xx

[@byhislove]

[@bobstuffguy3708]

No, KZbin can die. It's this online streaming creator market that needs to survive. Someone just needs to create a website that's the same as KZbin, just without the controversy.

[@Alex-fh5od]

Spirited Gal no no no let them fail and see what happens. They've had over two years to correct this.

[@ka92010rock]

Clearly KZbin is trying to go a different direction, that is why youtubers are being pushed out, hence youtube creating KZbin Tv and Red. Streaming is evidently the future of Entertainment, and i think KZbin have realized this. Remember this site went from being video sharing site to a content creation site and now to a streaming site.

[@UniversalNewscast]

The way Netflix are growing at the moment, it would only take them to roll out a service for professional channels which could draw a lot of the community over OR just upload on both platforms, KZbin could see massive losses overnight!!

[@ChaseCharaba]

You definitely summed up most of the problems with KZbin. I just don't see KZbin taking anyone seriously and actually fixing anything though. They've demonstrated nothing but incompetence and ignorance. Maybe it's just the journalistic background in me, but they should really be more transparent and listen to the people who use this service. I'm just glad that so far, I haven't had any videos demonetized. But, I also don't make enough for them to actually pay me apparently, so why would they?

[@SDADanCars]

Good Point Casey but KZbin it is the best video website right now and the only one who give you the chanse to make money and to live a nice life. So critics are welcome and it is always place to improve. Be patience and will be all solve. RESPECT !!```
