Update: We may be back in action! I was contacted by a RUclips employee who saw the video, and teams are apparently on it internally. In fact, ads seem to be showing up on the affected channels again today. We'll know with more confidence once data rolls in tomorrow, but these are all good signs!
Oh and don't be alarmed if you don't see ads on this video. It's intentionally unmonetized. Didn't want to monetize a "drama" video, even if it wasn't working at the time.
Imma gonna call bs on this and just say that youtube probably is just saying this to appease everyone and stop the drama and discussion. Even if they fixed the issue completely, they'll go back to cutting add revenue for small channels, but at a slower pace, so that not too many people complain at one time, and then they can slowly go back to what they were aiming for. It's the same method they've used for the excessive adds on this platform.
Hey Regis, I'm a long time viewer of your content. I used to always play your decks in Hearthstone, currently play your decks in Marvel Snap, and I look forward to trying out Pokemon Pocket when it's released. I'm sorry to hear that this and other channels were impacted like this. It's a shame to see all your hard work essentially go to waste. Hopefully, RUclips will realize what the issue is and fix it. The key word being "Hopefully". Anyway, I have a friend who's also a content creator and I'll be sure to share this video with her. On the plus side, you'll have more time to spend with your family. Hope everything works out in the end! P.S. I don't usually write comments. Here's hoping the algorithm works in your favor lol
Even if we take the goober Twitter argument that they are doing this for some business reason, limiting ads so heavily for smaller creators just kills and long term sustainability for those channels and would force them to close shop. Therefore long term cutting the number of creators who can grow with the platform. At least that’s reassuring to the extent that if it doesn’t make business sense, then it probably is a bug, and is more likely to get fixed than if it was intentional. Still brutal that you have to go through this. Even if it is an “easier” or maybe more “fun” job it can’t be considered alright for your employer to cut your pay without notice or cause by 95% and then give no reason as to why that is the case. I really hope you and all others impacted are able to get this figured out, I’ve been watching since about 9k subs on the original channel and your content brings me joy on a daily basis. Hope this doesn’t bring too much stress to your week, keep up the good work m8!
R.I.P. to another amazing HS creator. Move with the waves dude. I enjoyed what you made for us, spend more time with your family and if you ever wanna upload again ill still be here. Best of luck with this tho, hurts when revenue gets interrupted especially when you are starting a family. also fyi this video was advertised to me in a small *shorts* like window with a few other videos, i didnt even think it was a main video.
It’s nice to have an explanation why the review videos stopped. I kept avoiding reading the cards because I kept refreshing for the Regis reviews and was so confused why they never came! That said, REALLY appreciate you still being willing to record a final wrap up tomorrow when ads are down, that’s awesome of you! I have RUclips Premium so at least my view of it will contribute a few tenth of a cents!
I’m on RUclips premium so I’ll check out a bunch of Marvel Snap videos on your main channel in addition to the card review. So frustrating that this is happening!
Well I will say I am not using an adblocker and I received no ads whatsoever for watching this. I feel for ya Regis. Thoughts and prayers. All you can do is hold the line and wait.
This is so crazy because it’s not even a slight reduce but a complete drop off! The worst part is where are the lines that connect y’all together?? Has to be the most frustrating part
Hey Regis, so sorry to hear this has happened, I watch all 3 of yours channels religiously and it sucks to hear we won't be getting any HS content. Obviously it 100% makes sense from your end not to post, but I hope they can get this fixed so we can get more regis going forward. Thanks for all of the time you put in, love your videos!
Selfishly as someone who enjoys hearthstone and not snap I’m sad this is hitting this channel but I’m glad that you, as a content creator, maintained your main channel and your income. Have fun with your family! Nothing can beat that
The thing must be a bug. The three hour a day window where ads work well suggests it’s a bug. I’ve seen bugs based on time zone differences not being properly parsed (basically things were broke a few hours each day). Bugs like this are very hard to find and fix. If a customer redeemed certain classes of entitlement on the same day the entitlement was created there was a few hour window where it would fail because our ‘day’ was still today but the entitlement was shown as starting tomorrow because somewhere handled parsing dates inconsistently. In our logs it looked ok but downstream from our log it was parsing to the wrong day a few hours each day. Turns out they were entitling based on their time zone then we were looking based on gmt and the few hours of difference were when the zones were in different days. They can hire me I know how to fix bugs like this. I don’t understand how it works for a few hours if not an unintentional major bug like this. Bad communication is a separate failure. Hope you are ok.
This is so interesting cuz as a viewer it feels like I've been getting way more ads lately no matter what I watch, usually I'd only have to watch around 1 or 2 ads to be able to watch like 3 or 4 videos but now I'm ALWAYS getting two ads every video with many of them being unskippable 10+ second ads, it almost feels like they took the ads from some channels and gave it to other ones.
Take this for what you will, this may no longer be valid at all but I used to work at Google in RUclips. Back then, when the devs put in a change they would do a 1% test with little oversight before going to 10% and so on. This reeks of a failed dev drop to me, one that wasn't properly tested (I did and still do work in software testing). In my mind this could easily be a bug tied to a random 1% test (and yes those tests are at random).
Hundreds of creators are suffering from this and the fact that everyone is from different country, different niche, face, faceless, ai, not ai, voice over, voiced. They just got a hit randomly. There is nothing common but all of them face this right after 16th Oct during the 3 min shorts were introduced...!
I really hope this is resolved, even if selfishly it's because I love your HS content :( your gameplay is fun and your reviews are insightful. I will request, are you going to stream HS at all since that is presumably not affected?
I can confirm that the 100 cost legendary drew me into that one card review when I haven't had a chance to watch the others. I also suspect that was a very organic anomaly in views.
I've always loved your Hearthstone content even when the game is in rough shape, but make the decisions that are right for you and your family man. If this ends up being a more permanent hiatus from this channel, my blame will fall at the feet of RUclips and not of you deciding to spend more time with your kid over doing free work. Hope this is unintentional or a bug or gets rolled back soon, but I'll totally give some Marvel Snap videos a try to support you in the meantime. Much love man, thank you for sharing this information and helping out smaller channels even when the personal impact on you isn't as large as it is on them.
Is this issue also impacting general impressions overall? I've noticed a big hit to mine since October 15th, but I can't tell if it's just a coincidence or not Edit: my channel is tiny, so it could just be coincidence, but I went from hundreds to thousands of impressions per stream to about 30-50
I'm really amazed how you just use the statistics to make valid points instead if just ranting. Made me think of an old video you once posted (or might have been an interview) where you talked about getting into streaming and how you learned the do's and don'ts based on the views if your videos. I think we are about the same age, but if i were to pick any mentor for my job, it would be you due to that amazing mind of yours! Best of luck getting the attention of the right people at youtube 😊
Toddler time is important! Way more important than this stuff imo. The terrible twos maybe a little frustrating but years later you will cherish them. Take care of yourself and have a happy Halloween!
So sorry this has happened to you and others impacted. Really appreciate you sharing this video to explain, and the commitment to finishing off the card reviews. I hope it gets resolved soon, but I'm also glad you get to make the decision to spend time with your daughter instead. Was your Pokémon pocket channel affected too?
My main income is from RUclips memberships, do you think this would also nerf someone’s memberships? Cause if this happened to me literally 2/3rds of my income will be gone I’m honestly terrified
Sad news. Hope it gets fixed soon. I was wondering if enough people watch your old videos that you will be able to tell in for example 2 months that the ads went up again. Just a thought.
Now I've watched this, maybe confirmation bias, but I've noticed a drop off in ads on videos the past few days. I just watched four other videos and another video had no ads at all, despite it being a popular-ish channel. Very odd. I'm in the UK but I'm assuming it's not a regional thing. Unless there's a common denominator between the channels affected, I'd guess it's a bug and it'll get fixed soon as it's got to be losing money for RUclips. I hope so anyway.
Regis is the realest. Yeah man, makes sense, skip on youtube for now, maybe until you find a better channel/platform to hop to, then I'll follow you along to the next one. You use twitch much?
Glad this has only affected your 'alt" channel and you are still in good shape financially. Enjoy the extra time with your daughter. My guess as far as cause would be the update.
Have your traffic sources changed at all? Obviously don't have your data or anything, but have to troubleshoot a lot of this in my daily life. Is there a chance some tweak on the algorithm suddenly pushed your videos to premium users or some type of user that tends to bypass ads? The fact that all the games you showed were kinda mobile focused makes me wonder if it's like, Chinese traffic that's legit but uses "modded" Android far more often
I did a fairly robust dive into this to see if anything look suspicious for invalid traffic. Geography, device type, traffic source, watch times; all looked ordinary.
That really sucks Regis! Its weird, I was watching multiple of your card review videos today and there were a bunch of political ads. It seemed like more ads the normal.
This is happening to one of my channel since one month, (it happened on 2nd of October) I saw that invalid traffic message and my revenue just down to 50%, it's very bad coz I do lot of hard work putting out helpful tutorial videos and for nothing without mistake youtube just taking all my revenue. Very demotivating to work on youtube for small channels (under 100k sub), I better build a website and work there.
Im sorry this is happening 😕dont stress making these HS videos if ur not earning anything and spend those hours with your daughter. Hopefully this gets resolved
Good luck. Facebook recently changed their algorithm drastically and it completely screwed basically all media companies there. Their reach going down with 80-90%. And that wasn’t the first time that happened over the years. Still there is nothing any of those big companies can do because they are on a platform where they agreed to basically accept that the platform controls everything. RUclips is the same. Content Creators essentially have no rights.
Wouldnt it be an idea at least for the time the problem isnt solved to move ur HS content to ur main channel again? I dont know but it seems like the most profitable solution for all Good luck, that its solved fast anyway
Regis I hope you get to read this comment - as a 'customer' I can say that I watched this video and twice during it it 'glitched' as tho it was doing a pause towatch an ad but didn't - I fast forwarded a minute however it took me back to where the pause was and continued playing - IMHO this has to be the result of the You Tube update and not the content creators - Good luck!
One other tidbit, I have notifications turned on and set to all for this channel and this video was not sent to me I had to seek it out. I don't know if that helps at all.
I have noticed I am RECIVING way LESS ads than usual over the last week or so as a viewer. I couldn't figure out why this was happening, it has been really nice from a viewing perspective, but I would much rather be supporting the channels I watch frequently and have a few ads. I hope they get this fixed as soon as possible for you and everyone else affected
Could you temporarily use the main channel for hearthstone as well? It clutters the main channel as well, but maintains ad revenue for those videos instead of getting 2$
The differing view numbers would disrupt the algorithm most likely if he were to do something like that. Even if somehow 50% of the snap watchers watched the hs content, the alg could view it as some of his videos having a super low watch rate and lowering the recommendation rate of the channel as a whole. Not entirely sure if that’s how it works, but that’s a big reason why content creators aren’t able to branch out as much on their main channel. Experimentation hurts the alg. If you still care to read more, in my own experience there are a few channels in which I will watch every single video they post every week, and those channels which I have essentially a 100% watch rate will always ALWAYS be the top of my recommended when they post a new vid. Even if I watch a lot more videos from another channel, it’ll prioritize new content from those that I have a higher overall watch percentage of new videos on.
what a fucking bummer on top of a bummer. regis reduces his hs content to focus on marvel snap, then the corporate overlords at alphabet annihilate the channel. here's hopin for good outcomes for the folks whose livelihoods are threatened by this fuckery
RUclips is enormous, but is bleeding money even before this issue happened, same for twitch, both platforms are actually losing more money vs bandwidth, hosting and advertisement deals. So not having ad's is a much bigger deal than you think regis. Even if google is one of THE biggest companies in the world, it still loses alot of money ever since they got youtube (not their fault, just costs are expensive on logistics). So ad's and youtube red/ premium's and subscriptions to tv are to slow the bleeding down so other products can help make the investment worthwhile to more businesses or customers.
hey regis, do you by any chance have control of something related to your videos being shown on other sites other than youtube itself? i'm asking it because i do run an ad block (sorry bout that, my work demands it) and i've noticed that the past few days your mainchannel videos were blocked for me with a massage that said something related to "the owner of this video blocked it on other sites" or something like that after the message, even disabling the ad block didnt help, still the same massage i'm asking this not because i'm complaining, the channel is yours tou do whatever you want, but because maaaybe if this is not a you thing, maaaybe ia an youtube sided thing related to their ongoing war against adblockers
I am finding the length of ads now is getting ridiculous, I don't watch videos when I get a near 2 min un skippable ad at the start of the video. Hit refresh a couple of times in the hope I get a 6 second ebay ad then give up if it doesn't show.
RUclips treating their creators poorly, sadly not a new story. this stuff needs to get heard. it's a whole industry and theres all sorts of communities we have here that are affected.
It’s actually absurdly disgusting how horribly RUclips treats their creators. There are so many bugs that get reported, so many people will abuse their copy right system, other people will also just get zero help from the support team. Some people are trying to get a career going or some extra cash on the side with their channels but RUclips literally just sees every content creator that isn’t in the top 1% as a waste of time.
Look, I'm not a network engineer, a coder, a developer of any kind. I can only draw parallels from my own job at a large company with 'customers'. Not communicating to your user base is one thing, maybe they want algorithm changes to be absolutely behind closed doors to everyone, fine. But, at the _very_ least, there should be some kind of attention given to how changes to budgeting/allocation of resources/etc might affect ANY channels after pushing updates. Someone somewhere must have pushed an update to adjust these values, and it should go without saying that those updates should be monitored intensely to ensure nothing drastic happens to any monetized channels. How something like this is not IMMEDIATELY remedied, apologized for, and retroactively back paid within days has me baffled when considering how titanic youtube is as a global power.
Could you upload new Hearthstone content to your main channel for the time being? Hopefully that way you can get out some videos on the new content and still get ad revenue.
i have to say it must really frustrate all those whose main channel get affectet. for you it is "just" one of your channels, so you have options to shift your time. YT sucks at communication. I hope they can fix it fast, because this will kill channels and ruin carriers. Spend some time with the little on. that memories can not be replaced by any money in the world.
Good video. I know you don't want to do it but there patreon channels from RUclips channels that give no benefits to anyone who subscribes. On the page it's very clear that if the person supports the person, that they don't get any benefits whatsoever.
That sucks this happened to you. I was actually a bit sad you hadn't posted more card review videos, as your videos are my favorite part of each expansion release, but I definitely understand why you didn't. I know you're trying to keep your channels separate, but I wonder if it might be a good idea to post your card review video on your main channel? I feel the marvel snap fans would understand, and that way you'd make more money than posting it here (even if you get less views).
Update: We may be back in action! I was contacted by a RUclips employee who saw the video, and teams are apparently on it internally. In fact, ads seem to be showing up on the affected channels again today. We'll know with more confidence once data rolls in tomorrow, but these are all good signs!
I got no ads while starting this video.
Whoa that was quick update! I hope so, best of luck man
Oh and don't be alarmed if you don't see ads on this video. It's intentionally unmonetized. Didn't want to monetize a "drama" video, even if it wasn't working at the time.
@@PpJollus Sorry, that's by design, I turned off monetization for this video. Don't like to monetize "drama" videos.

Maybe a test to see if it causes increased revenue?

also fyi this video was advertised to me in a small *shorts* like window with a few other videos, i didnt even think it was a main video.

That's terrible! I hope this situation will be solved as soon as possible 🙏
appreciate you finishing up the card reviews, hopefully it all get fixed soon. :)
this screams "bug" to me, and they only reason they haven't said anything is cause that Google HQ is currently on fire trying to fix it
It’s 100% a bug
I went and checked and I wasn't being effected by it. That's weird that its affecting some people and others. We are relatively the same size too.
Hey Regis, so sorry to hear this has happened, I watch all 3 of yours channels religiously and it sucks to hear we won't be getting any HS content.

Interacting with the algorithm to keep Toddler Regina fed! I love your HS content even though I don't play anymore
I know Greg from HowToDrink mentioned he saw a drop of 70-80% of his ad revenue starting January 1st, seemingly because of the new youtube system.
I have so much love for you and your work in HS -- It got me through years, when I was in hospital. I will fight for that

Hope this gets resolved for you soon and doesn't impact the other channels. In the meantime have fun with best baby Regina
NGL i don't have YT Premium but i've not gotten ads on my phone/ PC for months now :D not that i want to complain
Nooo. And this right before the Talgath review. I really wanted to hear your take.
Haha, he is so bad. 1 star. I do like Quasar a lot though.
@@RegisHearthbin Thank you lol. I knew it.
How do you like 3/3/3 Your combo effects trigger twice. Combo: get a Backstab.?
Having RUclips premium idk how it works with ads, do you get a standard small revenue from us or all the money goes to RUclips?
I seem to still get that, but it's like 5% of the total revenue for the channel typically. Great bonus normally, but not enough singularly.
That really sucks Regis! Its weird, I was watching multiple of your card review videos today and there were a bunch of political ads. It seemed like more ads the normal.
What time were you watching? I'm guessing within a few hours after 1:00am UTC?
@@RegisHearthbin 4pm -5pm PDT
I just watched the Warlock video again, no ads this time...
Maybe its time to Unionize You tubers, workers of the world unite
This is happening to one of my channel since one month, (it happened on 2nd of October) I saw that invalid traffic message and my revenue just down to 50%, it's very bad coz I do lot of hard work putting out helpful tutorial videos and for nothing without mistake youtube just taking all my revenue. Very demotivating to work on youtube for small channels (under 100k sub), I better build a website and work there.
damn can't believe youtube used mass dispel
Im sorry this is happening 😕dont stress making these HS videos if ur not earning anything and spend those hours with your daughter. Hopefully this gets resolved
Could there be a class action lawsuit for lost revenue? (Not a lawyer don't haze me)
Good luck. Facebook recently changed their algorithm drastically and it completely screwed basically all media companies there. Their reach going down with 80-90%. And that wasn’t the first time that happened over the years.
Still there is nothing any of those big companies can do because they are on a platform where they agreed to basically accept that the platform controls everything. RUclips is the same. Content Creators essentially have no rights.
Wouldnt it be an idea at least for the time the problem isnt solved to move ur HS content to ur main channel again?
I dont know but it seems like the most profitable solution for all
Good luck, that its solved fast anyway
Regis I hope you get to read this comment - as a 'customer' I can say that I watched this video and twice during it it 'glitched' as tho it was doing a pause towatch an ad but didn't - I fast forwarded a minute however it took me back to where the pause was and continued playing - IMHO this has to be the result of the You Tube update and not the content creators - Good luck!
One other tidbit, I have notifications turned on and set to all for this channel and this video was not sent to me I had to seek it out. I don't know if that helps at all.
Good cuz I'm sick of getting 6 ads in a 10 minute video
How tf can someone not escalate this internally lmao
I have noticed I am RECIVING way LESS ads than usual over the last week or so as a viewer. I couldn't figure out why this was happening, it has been really nice from a viewing perspective, but I would much rather be supporting the channels I watch frequently and have a few ads. I hope they get this fixed as soon as possible for you and everyone else affected
Could you temporarily use the main channel for hearthstone as well? It clutters the main channel as well, but maintains ad revenue for those videos instead of getting 2$
The differing view numbers would disrupt the algorithm most likely if he were to do something like that. Even if somehow 50% of the snap watchers watched the hs content, the alg could view it as some of his videos having a super low watch rate and lowering the recommendation rate of the channel as a whole.
Not entirely sure if that’s how it works, but that’s a big reason why content creators aren’t able to branch out as much on their main channel. Experimentation hurts the alg.
If you still care to read more, in my own experience there are a few channels in which I will watch every single video they post every week, and those channels which I have essentially a 100% watch rate will always ALWAYS be the top of my recommended when they post a new vid. Even if I watch a lot more videos from another channel, it’ll prioritize new content from those that I have a higher overall watch percentage of new videos on.
@@evanmcdonald9134 Evan more or less captured here, yes. It wasn't working well when I did both on the same channel, and it would be even worse now.
@@evanmcdonald9134 oh I understand thank you so much!
another odd thing the progress bar is pink at one end no other videos I've watched today have this color shift thing going on.
Dude I thought I was going crazy. What's that about?
@@RegisHearthbin im getting the same thing, Also got no ads while watching this video
Completely honest here, haven't notice it. Between the channels I watch I've been watching a shit ton on ads but I have noticed more bots
Here's hoping this gets some traction and someone somewhere fixes it.
I hope they can figure out what the heck is going on. Have a great time with Regina and may the algorithm be restored!
what a fucking bummer on top of a bummer. regis reduces his hs content to focus on marvel snap, then the corporate overlords at alphabet annihilate the channel. here's hopin for good outcomes for the folks whose livelihoods are threatened by this fuckery
RUclips is enormous, but is bleeding money even before this issue happened, same for twitch, both platforms are actually losing more money vs bandwidth, hosting and advertisement deals. So not having ad's is a much bigger deal than you think regis. Even if google is one of THE biggest companies in the world, it still loses alot of money ever since they got youtube (not their fault, just costs are expensive on logistics). So ad's and youtube red/ premium's and subscriptions to tv are to slow the bleeding down so other products can help make the investment worthwhile to more businesses or customers.
hey regis, do you by any chance have control of something related to your videos being shown on other sites other than youtube itself?
i'm asking it because i do run an ad block (sorry bout that, my work demands it) and i've noticed that the past few days your mainchannel videos were blocked for me with a massage that said something related to "the owner of this video blocked it on other sites" or something like that
after the message, even disabling the ad block didnt help, still the same massage
i'm asking this not because i'm complaining, the channel is yours tou do whatever you want, but because maaaybe if this is not a you thing, maaaybe ia an youtube sided thing related to their ongoing war against adblockers
Thank you so much!
Good! Adds are bullshit and im glad they got rid of them
I am finding the length of ads now is getting ridiculous, I don't watch videos when I get a near 2 min un skippable ad at the start of the video.
Hit refresh a couple of times in the hope I get a 6 second ebay ad then give up if it doesn't show.
Getting rid of ads and a great for consumers, but terrible for creators.
RUclips treating their creators poorly, sadly not a new story. this stuff needs to get heard. it's a whole industry and theres all sorts of communities we have here that are affected.
It’s actually absurdly disgusting how horribly RUclips treats their creators. There are so many bugs that get reported, so many people will abuse their copy right system, other people will also just get zero help from the support team. Some people are trying to get a career going or some extra cash on the side with their channels but RUclips literally just sees every content creator that isn’t in the top 1% as a waste of time.
Somewhere in the world os a team working 24/7 trying to understand this bug qnd just screaming at their computera
i just got no ads on any of your hearthstone videos on 3 different devices
Look, I'm not a network engineer, a coder, a developer of any kind. I can only draw parallels from my own job at a large company with 'customers'.
Not communicating to your user base is one thing, maybe they want algorithm changes to be absolutely behind closed doors to everyone, fine. But, at the _very_ least, there should be some kind of attention given to how changes to budgeting/allocation of resources/etc might affect ANY channels after pushing updates. Someone somewhere must have pushed an update to adjust these values, and it should go without saying that those updates should be monitored intensely to ensure nothing drastic happens to any monetized channels. How something like this is not IMMEDIATELY remedied, apologized for, and retroactively back paid within days has me baffled when considering how titanic youtube is as a global power.
Could you upload new Hearthstone content to your main channel for the time being? Hopefully that way you can get out some videos on the new content and still get ad revenue.
i have to say it must really frustrate all those whose main channel get affectet. for you it is "just" one of your channels, so you have options to shift your time. YT sucks at communication. I hope they can fix it fast, because this will kill channels and ruin carriers. Spend some time with the little on. that memories can not be replaced by any money in the world.
Good video. I know you don't want to do it but there patreon channels from RUclips channels that give no benefits to anyone who subscribes.
On the page it's very clear that if the person supports the person, that they don't get any benefits whatsoever.
Did you turn it off and back on again? If it doesn’t work just put it in rice that should bring the ads back
Did this hit your pokebin channel too? Could it be alternate channels by the same person that got it?
We desperately need a viable competitor to RUclips that puts content creators first.
I'm here for Regis, but staying for the drama.
You deserve answers and dare I say, restitution
That sucks this happened to you. I was actually a bit sad you hadn't posted more card review videos, as your videos are my favorite part of each expansion release, but I definitely understand why you didn't.
I know you're trying to keep your channels separate, but I wonder if it might be a good idea to post your card review video on your main channel? I feel the marvel snap fans would understand, and that way you'd make more money than posting it here (even if you get less views).
