[@Sleepdroidstudios]

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.

[@atomm4675]

I got a notice saying they were only going to be reviewing videos that got more than a 1000 views in the first 7 days. Not going to happen for most of us.

[@hellokittypop25]

[@WanderinColor]

that only applies (apparently) to new channels that have less than 10k view which makes no sense because it's even harder for smaller channels to get 1k in 7 days on one vid.

[@kpi4162]

[@Ironmaneditor77]

That's unreal! And insane. Whatever happened to free speech.

[@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.

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Yes!!! Two to three times a week we post a recipe video. Two to three times a week KZbin Demonetises the videos and marks them inappropriate. Two to three times a week we appeal. 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.

[@HeadbangersKitchen]

Yeah I got similar problems.

[@BigFatPanda]

This story sounds SOOOOooo familiar - I do Disney videos - Mickey Mouse - demonetized and always repeal works but WHY go through it?

[@MerryCottage]

I do product reviews of household items like mops & essential oil diffusers and this thing happens to me all the time... what the HEY??!!!

[@AgrippaKCsGunTime]

This is why I became very discouraged being a creator. I finally found my niche in KZbin right as they pulled monetization so now I’m producing several videos a week trying to get back into monetization. It’s was a little refreshing to not have to battle the algorithm anymore.

[@craigmooring2091]

@Le Gourmet "...more like a serf working for scraps". Sounds like the basis for a rallying cry for KZbin remonstrants: Serfs, Up!!

[@AfterSkool]

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.

[@justinvader8141]

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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!)

[@methlokaijufan9729]

ZeptejSeFilipa How about making a petition for KZbin to stop this crap ?

[@violetverdict3760]

Does Coca Cola have to pay you? Their company. Their rules.

[@methlokaijufan9729]

Violet Verdict Did somebody said something about Coca cola ?

[@orppranator5230]

Methlokaijufan97 It's an analogy. The literal correct thing to say is: "Advertisers make KZbin more money than creators/viewers. Why should youtube not care more about those advertisers than everyone else?"

[@Catyren]

Orppranator because when a new platform comes along the creators won't be loyal to youtube. They'll jump ship and then youtube won't have new content at all.

[@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)?

[@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]

Aaron Doughty This is a very effective way to do this but at the same time, there should be no reason to do this every time. Especially if you know the content you upload falls within the guide lines

[@brookefelices3738]

I just hope KZbin is watching this video

[@nexusyang4832]

You guys need to watch Sam and Niko's response to "demonetized". There is more to this issue.

[@sdfszcrew6833]

Casey phil and ethan were already demonetized a number of times. It's about time to stand up and speak out!

[@mryorkielover]

This video sums up ALL that is Wrong with You Tube..... Great vid

[@twominutetips]

Excellent points on both sides of the issue - thank you.

[@reprogrammingmind]

He who pays the piper calls the tune. He who has the gold makes the rules.

[@eclecticjon1019]

KZbin are happy to take money from the advertisers but not so happy to pay the people creating their content.

[@LunarNoire]

YAS💯💯💯💯💯

[@TheMelvinWei]

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.

[@realbenjaminseda]

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.

[@oldblood_eyes]

aye if it isn't Based Zeus

[@figicool]

Based Zeus Could be because of the half naked girls on your thumbnails...

[@sonofgodsdad3227]

[@AttilaTheHun333333]

Well, look at your fucking thumbnails.

[@sinjaja5836]

Same Problem with Fiverr. Sellers are nothing, buyers are everything for them.

[@Trainfan1055Janathan]

When I was a truck driver, the company would sometimes screw up my paycheck. When I called them about it, they'd add the difference to my next paycheck. KZbin, however, takes away your money and when you say, "I believe it's suitable for all advertisers," they still don't pay you back the money you lost. I have two videos that are demonetized. They are both just videos of railroad crossings. I apealed both of them. It's been nearly 24 hours and they're still demonetized. And I really need that money because I'm currently unemployed and looking for a job.

[@LexiForrest]

I think they care about the community but they care about advertisers more.

[@superiorcactus]

Lexi Forrest money talks unfortunately

[@cvbrosfilm2799]

I think Casey's point is that without the foundation that is the community KZbin has nothing to advertise on.

[@rva]

Lexi Forrest true

[@meetingskylar34]

it's money after all

[@AaronDoughty44]

I think a powerful solution is to allow us to sell our own ad space to companies we actually resonate with. I think of my niche and how much better targeting it would be for both the creator and the companies as well. We know our audiences and can point them to things either we personally use or resonate with. Happy you made this vid and I hope KZbin responds with putting the creators before the companies displaying ads.

[@polarugle]

i think this is possible already

[@Thiiink]

Use your website and do 50 keywords SEO ... You will own everything.

[@simonearl3467]

What about small youtubers? Or youtubers that don't necessarily have a channel with a specific purpose (filthy frank, idubbbztv kind of youtubers)

[@justartt]

Hey Aaron checked out your channel! It's pretty awesome I'm happy you commented here so I can see your videos! Thank you will be watching your videos soon! Peace

[@sullyFL]

Post net neutrality, KZbin content creators will be considered competitors to companies worth billions of dollars. ISPs will have no reason to deliver independent KZbin content.. The KZbin community is fucked and KZbin is already catering to ISPs.

[@DeniseHoukMedia]

You have such a huge following and a tech background... why not create the competition yourself?

[@spankapodomace8628]

Denise Houk I agree...why not? 😇

[@kevinnaxx3488]

You forget the money part

[@RoseCoventina]

UPVOTE THIS COMMENT SO CASEY SEES THIS IDEA

[@chiknosis]

Rose Lynn lol

[@MsJapanino]

I had been thinking the same thing about KZbin. When a company thinks they are invincible they fall.

[@Vivian_Tries]

Fingers crossed. I hope someone hears you.

[@claespetersson1812]

I randomly stumbled upon your comment and i must say i have never ever been more curious on knowing who Vivian might be and the life she lives. To be honest, hrm, i dont know any Vivian, very plesant name to pronouce (I already know im weird ^^,). Aaaaand with this said, i will not ever watch your channel (sorry) but i already made up my mind. You are a spy, a genius spy that has a serious plan for bringing world peace. By controlling all the bald-iness from world leaders, you will shape this world into a fairytale that 'Dreamworks' couldnt even dream about. Now go, you have work to do. Good luck.... Spy.

[@CaylieandTim]

Such a professional approach to this issue. Thanks Casey!

[@isaackajubi1]

Let's take some time to notice the kinder joy on the right

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

I agree Casey! We all need to meet up regularly. Every town and city around the world needs to have a mini forum for their KZbinrs! Meeting in person & not online so as to keep up to date and protect 'the community'..!

[@SayonDragon15]

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]

Spirited Gal we are all looking for other places to go. It will take some time

[@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!!

[@24FramesOfNick]

Companies have been claiming my vids even though they're 100 percent covered by fair use. I dispute the claims and companies keep their claim and I don't get to monetize my own vids. I'm a super small youtuber and I don't have to rely on this to survive but it's still bullshit that KZbin won't bother to help me in any way no matter how my videos are protected legally. I've emailed for support and they are so vague in the answers leading to their choice to not get involved and help in any way. It really hurts the small youtubers a lot in trying to grow in any way shape or form

[@Louinator59]

24 Frames Of Nick yeah it seems like every time you use Creative Commons material CD Baby monetizes the video immediately. You have to challenge it every time.

[@Louinator59]

24 Frames Of Nick by the way that is so annoying

[@silentry]

I fucking hate that! I used A FREE beat and there was someone that STOLE that beat changed it up a "bit" and signed it with a label so that everyone that uses his STOLEN beat will get a copy right claim. Its such fucking bull shit! I even messaged the person myself and no response.

[@JasonRidesLlamas]

I can assure you, KZbin gives ZERO fucks about smaller channels simply because they make pennies off of us. Now if they made that Neistat dough, maybe they'd care. But judging by how they're treating even their largest cash cows, I wouldn't hold my breath.

[@KCautodoctor]

24 Frames Of Nick you need to go get a lawyer and have them look into your case, especially in light of the recent court ruling on KZbin and Fair Use in the Ethan and Hila Klein (aka H3H3) legal case - just Google "H3H3 lawsuit" and you will have hours of reading. You will continue to get your videos flagged since the other company knows you are not fighting back - once you show you are not laying down for them anymore, then things will change for you.

[@ShellyBomb]

5:00 mins in ... Fantastic analogy Casey --- 👍 !!! P.S. KZbin needs to realize that without content creators there would be NO platform - like a newspaper with no writers or editors ... what company would place an ad in a newspaper with no content?!? 😳

[@pappysproductions]

Great video and thanks for looking out for all of us

[@TheAFamily]

[@authenticteecee]

I respect him so much for telling the truth when he's a big youtuber himself. Can't do anything but respect that Casey. Thank You. Ive been here since 2008, I just feel as if the loyalty on youtube part is so shaky. Its extremely discouraging.

[@linusjohansson4626]

Now this KZbin video is going to be Demonitized.

[@johndoe-ec8qi]

Literally saw a ad right now.

[@ninja1inblack105]

This video is following the community guidelines so no it will not.

[@tecbarrett8331]

Nb4 hate speech

[@charliesingh7189]

Ninja1inblack that doesn’t stop them 😂

[@ninja1inblack105]

Charlie Singh there is not a trace of anything the community guidelines don’t permit so they would have no excuse when the community gets all riled up against them. It would be suicide.

[@RunNGunPhoto]

I'm seriously worried that KZbin will eventually demonize my channel for having the word 'GUN' in the name.

[@wolf2109]

Run N Gun well thats your fault

[@RunNGunPhoto]

Or KZbin’s for being stupid... i couldn’t have predicted this stupidity when creating a channel name.

[@RandomGuy-om1vy]

Run N Gun I see your channel having progress. Can you give me tips for making new videos ??

[@RunNGunPhoto]

Make consistent content that people care to watch. That’s the real secret.

[@YeeLeeHaw]

_"well thats your fault"_ Attractive women got raped. Conclusion: it's her own fault for dressing provocatively. Great logic there.

[@extremeAdvil]

One of the best analysis of the current issues....still an issue in 2018

[@TajTracks]

Does KZbin dare to demonitize vevo channels? I would like to know that!

[@MrHurley]

Clash Of Clans with Soni Akshay KZbin do t source Ads for those channels, Vevo or the label do - so it works different...same with Kimmel...disney runs ads for his vids

[@TajTracks]

Robert Hurley I think KZbin has control over ads even though the networks place their own ad campaign, maybe

[@ninja1inblack105]

Vevo channels actually follow the KZbin rules so I highly doubt they will ever get demonetized.

[@charliesingh7189]

Ninja1inblack what about songs swear words and sexuality

[@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]

Mikenstein It would be so beautiful

[@911RescueDiver]

Preach it Mr. Neistat. Thanks for putting the hard work regarding supporting the community. Those of us who don't have a product to sell or sponsor are crushed. We just needed gas money to keep filming at neat locations. I guess KZbin commanders did not watch the "New One Minute Manager"

[@thegrillfriend]

This is a fantastic breakdown of the things that KZbin (or any other creator-propelled company) should be doing

[@Travellight21]

I could not agree with this video more. I love KZbin, I love being a KZbinr, and I very much want the company to have success. But it needs to care its creators.

[@RobDymott]

we do need more care!

[@wayvescape]

Interviewer: How many channels are you going to demonitise? KZbin Employee(s): *Yes*

[@HypnotiZeYT]

Famous KZbinrs really need to do the ad boycott again. By disabling ads KZbin does not make money and they would probably take action and have a solution.

[@cermet1880]

Cermet Thank you! Lets make this comment grow so casey can see this solutuion!

[@SomeThingElseYT]

Preach it Neistat. I would like to also note that when KZbin (a platform I love but wish they'd do better) messes up. Us animators get screwed big time. I assume most creators who can't post daily content are in the same boat and I feel like KZbin really does need to cater to their creators more often vs keeping us all in the dark about everything. (Or at least keep the people informed who CAN and ARE making a living off of this website)

How about users boycotting ads by skipping them from the start. Stats would show advertisers how they aren't benifitting

[@adityaaurora9869]

The issue with that is that it really hurts the creator, sure many creators get sponsorships but lots are just living off of the revenue they get from showing ads, if we don’t watch the ads the creator doesn’t get paid
