This is a problem with music production youtube

[@Bthelick]

I got an output ad on yours start, and a unison ad on the end lol. The worst two 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. I wish we could ban companies for running ads on our channels

[@jaderington]

[@gutterg0d]

Andrew Huang, like every other large KZbinr, is a content creator first. They have to be, or they won't have a channel with millions of subscribers (unless they already have a massive audience when they start, meaning Taylor Swift could pull it off for sure). Sometimes if we're lucky they are musicians second rather than marketers.

lets see what happens when I try paying for rent and groceries with NFRs

[@jamesjames77777]

The problem is that certain “producers” become role models for many, but they’re not really producers, they’re KZbinrs. I recently asked a head of A&R in Nashville about a very large “Nashville producer” on KZbin. This person has literally never heard of the guy. I then looked up his credits and they’re non existent. So people are learning from a fraud essentially - or at least someone who should be learning from producers who actually work in the industry.

​@@Dystopian84Afaik, once you accept a contract, you're under an NDA to not disclose the guidelines of the contract. Corporations do this to avoid generating expectations from their contractors. Even niche businesses are ultimately still businesses, so they will do everything they can to nickel and dime.

[@OnlyDaFunk4444]

How?? Please Explain

[@daccrowell4776]

Best way of dealing with this sort of thing: post your rules for product reviews on your YT profile. That way, you're stating right up front that you need X, Y, Z things in order to do a review, without any ambiguity. It might also help...although it sounds draconian...to also state that attempting to subvert your review policies will result in said company getting "blacklisted" and you won't do any further work with them should that happen. Then also post that right alongside your requirements. Yes, you'll lose potential advertisers. But they'll invariably be the ones you don't want to deal with anyway.

[@nilespeshay1734]

I agree with you and I don't disagree with anything said BUT...I can't "take advantage of you" with a deal that you don't accept. All I can do, with that offered deal, is insult you... and/or your intelligence. The main problem I have with this "ask" that Output is making is, "This is not an ad" and "say that it's your go to for inspiration". The first is a lie and the second is, basically, asking ppl to lie.

[@qtrax100]

Thanks for the enlightenment with entertainment.

[@lewdacario]

they want to sublimely advert and turn u in to a mindless drone for pr and the glossary tells u that u have to u their jargon into the videos

[@COLOSSAL.E]

you're trying to do the same thing with your jargon - it's subliminally, not sublimely. not defending bad advertising ofc but words can be used properly if we try

[@tweatification]

This started in our community with Pensado and Landr. We were right to be distrusting of the trend. Like yay someone is getting money but its making the end user experience terrible and destroys the credibility of the creator because it becomes very obvious that the product they were just advocating for is absolute trash.

[@LxkiBeats]

I just hate the fact that my beats have ads in them, i'm not even monetized wtf, how am i supposed to grow and build a community if there are ads already, i dont even make a penny so i cant invest the time they spent watching the ads into the channel, straight up bs

Bro i hate ads. Today I clicked on a Fantano review for the recent Schoolboy Q album on my phone and a gambling ad played

[@dc9662]

Is the company saying that the ad that content creators will be doing for them isn't actually an ad, or are they directing content creators to not disclose to the audience that this ad is an ad? Because I believe that both of those are violating the YT TOS, and (I believe) against the law according to the FTC. I'm not a lawyer, and that was not legal advice, btw.

[@KordTaylor]

Ok. I get this. It’s sad. I have worked lots with “influencers” but the relationship is not this. Yes. I have swapped NFRs (not with limited amt of time) but that’s just because yeah, sometime software companies don’t have $ either so we use what we have. Usually offer giveaways to the community and don’t try and script stuff as that’s just yikes. This is all corporate %^*+. For my relationships it’s like music nerd to music nerd friendship vs. the whole market plan blah crap here. But yeah, guess this is the way it’s gone for some. 😢

[@FXWLL]

I think I see the issue but as a small creator myself it seems a bit risky for the brand to throw a chunk of change my way given that my channel is only 2K on YT. I normally get £50 - £150 per sponsored video plus NFR copy, but that is with my TT at 100K followers and the videos are short form (still a lot of work). I also do a lot of emailing to bring in deals. Maybe Im crazy but I didnt expect to be paid the big bucks at the start. I expected to work for free or minimal money as I build my rep and show I can bring value. Dont get me wrong I think some of the requirements in that contract seem a bit strict but its up to the creator to say yes. I still feel like for the most part its ok to do a sponsorship for free (NFR) as long as its all above board and both parties know whats involved. Am I misunderstanding something?

I’ve seen the backend stats, and if a KZbinr creates $21,000 in revenue from 3 videos, OF COURSE the creators deserve at least 30% commission. ($7,000) @ ~$2,300 per video. Anything less is complete robbery and theft from the producer community.

"This is an obnoxious click bait way to title videos"

[@NTMTR_OFFICIAL]

That’s because KZbinrs have no choice: behind the scenes they are literally being forced at gun point by the algorithm to use negatively phrased clickbait titles as they are about to upload their videos, the algorithm is actually there, right behind them with a gun, or so they say… What they don’t get though or pretend not to , or just ignore, is that every choice they make using clickbait reinforces that aspect of the algorithm. They are essentially helping the algorithm to hold them at gun point while simultaneously gesturing their inability to do anything about it. The algorithm knows that human nature will eventually give in to being driven by subscriber increase rate and views.
