Yeah, totally agree! RUclips & the businesses advertising on YOUR content is benefiting but you’re NOT! 😡 I just demonetized and I mainly do spiritual stuff...SPIRIT ANIMALS, ZODIAC SIGNS!
there are people out there who made video's where they just say "blah blah blah" for 5 minutes and other random things and the video's get demonetized.
UnPhayzable damn right. I email for help on my copyright claims and they straight up give the most vague answer possible leading to them to stay out of the situation entirely
Emily Olson no that's not true. There are people setups to succeed and others not. There are Gatekeepers inside RUclips that are not algorithmic their human
Must be nice to get such a quick response from RUclips 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 RUclips.
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.
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.
Yes!!! Two to three times a week we post a recipe video. Two to three times a week RUclips Demonetises the videos and marks them inappropriate. Two to three times a week we appeal. RUclips 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 "RUclips Partners". but I don't feel like much of a partner. More like a serf looking for scraps.
This is why I became very discouraged being a creator. I finally found my niche in RUclips 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.
We got hit so hard. All we want to do is create content and grow but it has become so hard. We will take a step back, take a deep breath and go at it again. Our ad rev is gone. Thank you Casey for posting.
At this point, I just think RUclips is too scared to upset advertisers. Their filtering system is out of control and the worse part definitely is the fact that RUclips 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.
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.
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.
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 RUclips 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!)
Methlokaijufan97 It's an analogy. The literal correct thing to say is: "Advertisers make RUclips more money than creators/viewers. Why should youtube not care more about those advertisers than everyone else?"
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.
As Do I ! No telly and more homo sapiens, but no capitalization! One of the reasons I am an expat and european now ...more humans less BUY THIS AND YOU NEEEED THAT!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
Netflix doesn't want to damage it's reputation by allowing trash videos from all "creators" and destroying all shows. The quality would drop and shock jocks would damage their image like it did RUclips.
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. RUclips definitely needs competition, BIG TIME!
Casey, Phil and Ethan are probably the three of the most courageous RUclips creators who always stand up and speak out against RUclips when they feel the need to. I really salute these guys.
I'm glad you're really talking about this 'cause this has been getting worse FOR YEARS!! They have NOT been "doing their best," for a long time. They sold us out a long time ago!!
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.
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.
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...
It sucks how RUclips is slowly caring less about its creators. Driving them out. Jeopardizing their job security. RUclips, please wake up and listen to the creators. We drive your business and without us, this platform won’t survive. xx
No, RUclips 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 RUclips, just without the controversy.
Clearly RUclips is trying to go a different direction, that is why youtubers are being pushed out, hence youtube creating RUclips Tv and Red. Streaming is evidently the future of Entertainment, and i think RUclips have realized this. Remember this site went from being video sharing site to a content creation site and now to a streaming site.
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, RUclips could see massive losses overnight!!
As a Member of "THE COMMUNITY" I thank you in veritas for that presentation and talk..you have such a significant and noteable influence with RUclips ,you conveyed my distrust and confusion in a format that cannot be ignored! Thank You SIR!!!!!!
Thank you for being our voice Casey. This frustration has been going on for way too long. Content creators are constantly being put on the "please hold, your business is important to us", but we are never out of the hold queue
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.
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.
Twitch right now could come up remotely similar to RUclips like video saving and others I think they have an opportunity to take over unless RUclips at least tells people what there plan is or something.
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.
After Skool maybe the community should support/ unsupport RUclips 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
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.
Thank you for posting this. I earn my living from RUclips 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.
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 RUclips 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
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.
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.
I can assure you, RUclips 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.
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 RUclips 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.
A Tip to RUclipsrs 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.
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.
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 :)
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
Famous RUclipsrs really need to do the ad boycott again. By disabling ads RUclips does not make money and they would probably take action and have a solution.
amen thank you for pointing that out. the term "community" needs to be destroyed. it's nice-talk by FB and google for their users and newspeak for the Orwellian speech control inherent in their platforms and business models.
That's fucking right RUclips bent over for the advertisers 😭 and fucked the creators who drive traffic to youtube. Makes no sense. I do like your ideas for a solution Casey 😎👌
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.
They basically screwed everyone but the "Paul Logans of RUclips" and did so without vaseline. He took no hit for this shitshow he started, he actually gain followers which in turn put cash in his pockets . My hope in near future there is a viable alternative. Some of the people who are RUclips Stars today couldn't have done it under this model.
Facebook has the leverage to give creators what they want. They can win on sheer volume alone. Satisfy the big guys and the little guys. RUclips is getting ahead of itself.
None of this YT BS drives people to Facebook, because FB has no viable revenue sharing program for small and medium sized creators. For the most part Facebook monetizes *everything* (including stolen content from other platforms), and they keep all the ad revenue themselves ($9B just last quarter). Also if you have a ton of followers FB will randomly limit distribution of new content, so if you want your content to reach all of your *own* followers, you have to pay FB. The only way to leverage FB's larger potential audience to make money is to post sponsored content, or promote your own external products/services.
Preach it Mr. Neistat. Thanks for putting the hard work regarding supporting the community. Those of us who don't have a product to sell or sponsor are crushed. We just needed gas money to keep filming at neat locations. I guess RUclips commanders did not watch the "New One Minute Manager"
There are many alternatives to RUclips that have already "come by." The fact that u don't know this emphasizes the problem: people get stuck to the same brands and don't bother to search for the little guy.
Charlie Singh there is not a trace of anything the community guidelines don’t permit so they would have no excuse when the community gets all riled up against them. It would be suicide.
5:00 mins in ... Fantastic analogy Casey --- 👍 !!! P.S. RUclips needs to realize that without content creators there would be NO platform - like a newspaper with no writers or editors ... what company would place an ad in a newspaper with no content?!? 😳
Quite literally happens almost every time I upload a new video. End up needing to appeal and losing the bulk of income from the first surge of views, IF my video gets approved after appeal. Great analysis, Casey. Keep it up.
I just started to post 6 months ago, and I have 75k subscribers and almost 5 million views on my channel. Unfortunately, because I live in Romania, I get paid approximately 100$ 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!
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
My content is great! I have a lot of views and likes, but I was saying it's hard to get even more out there than I have. Check out my stuff, I'm a college vlogger and traveller.
I know. RUclips takes a lot of effort, time, and luck. It's hard to get yourself out there. An easy way to promote your self is in the comments of other videos, but I think that that is kind of dumb. I brought it up on this video because this seems to be the place to talk about it.
One simple thing youtube needs to do: when a video is demonetized, youtube needs to tell us WHY. The algorithm may find something in the most PC and perfect video you've ever created, it gets demonetized, and it doesn't tell you why... it doesn't tell you a specific reason. So how are we supposed to fix it? Also, unless you are big in views, you cannot always appeal these demonetized videos like casey. The little guys are just totally screwed over.
I give these policies a huge hiss! 1. They protect nobody but the share of those who already have a good thing going. 2. It is dishonest to disguise this redistribution as a protective measure. 3. Those who are trying to emerge are suffocated with an extra obstacle.
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. RUclips, 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.
I could not agree with this video more. I love RUclips, I love being a RUclipsr, and I very much want the company to have success. But it needs to care its creators.
+eka putra Actually, it does! Ad revenue is based on ad renders and clicks. Him watching the video again could very well give the creator more earnings!
*DEMONETIZED ! ....RUclipsrs 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 RUclips 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...RUclips will not be around when another platform comes around and ppl like me will flee, hence the eventual downfall*
It's not always a matter of depending on RUclips. I don't depend on RUclips 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.
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 RUclips responds with putting the creators before the companies displaying ads.
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
Post net neutrality, RUclips content creators will be considered competitors to companies worth billions of dollars. ISPs will have no reason to deliver independent RUclips content.. The RUclips community is fucked and RUclips is already catering to ISPs.

Tony Toronto pewdiepies alcohol review vids have been monetized.
Pat C He doesn’t drink often. He does drink on occasions though.
Tony Toronto shoot, our entire channel is dedicated to alcohol.. time to move to another platform lol..
Yea pretty much
Thanks for that
Demonetization doesn’t make sense because RUclips still runs advertisements in videos that they demonetize.
Latasha Thomas they’re just telling YOU that YOU won’t see any of that fun money. That’s called greed, right there.😠
Hey. Not fair😳

YT is still a Monopoly, we need other alternatives
Facebook Video? LBRY? FreeSpeechTube?
I guess RUclips wants everyone to talk in morse code to get monetized
there are people out there who made video's where they just say "blah blah blah" for 5 minutes and other random things and the video's get demonetized.
UnPhayzable damn right. I email for help on my copyright claims and they straight up give the most vague answer possible leading to them to stay out of the situation entirely

RUclips is the only social platform that doesn't seem to care about the people using it.
Only one... Yeah right if you say so !!!
Uhh, Facebook? Facebook is so much worse.
...none of them care. Lol.
Emily Olson no that's not true. There are people setups to succeed and others not. There are Gatekeepers inside RUclips that are not algorithmic their human
Emily Olson Talk about capitalist-consumer relationship in this era. The bigger the capitalist becomes, the lesser care it gives to consumers.
Had a demonetized video a few minutes ago... On me doing a painting of a wolf. This is really outta hand!
Carl Mazur 😂
That’s one deadly wolf
They demonetized a live stream I had scheduled a few nights ago, BEFORE I had even started the live stream... that is a new level of f'kd up!
how dare you
That's unreal! And insane. Whatever happened to free speech.
Must be nice to get such a quick response from RUclips about demonitizing a video. I had one of my videos demonitized and I've been waiting a couple of months now for a response.

Keep in mind CNN also gave him a shit load of money for his company.
no they arent listening. they never listen😞

Yes!!! Two to three times a week we post a recipe video. Two to three times a week RUclips Demonetises the videos and marks them inappropriate. Two to three times a week we appeal. RUclips 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 "RUclips Partners". but I don't feel like much of a partner. More like a serf looking for scraps.
Yeah I got similar problems.
This story sounds SOOOOooo familiar - I do Disney videos - Mickey Mouse - demonetized and always repeal works but WHY go through it?
I do product reviews of household items like mops & essential oil diffusers and this thing happens to me all the time... what the HEY??!!!
This is why I became very discouraged being a creator. I finally found my niche in RUclips 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.
@Le Gourmet "...more like a serf working for scraps". Sounds like the basis for a rallying cry for RUclips remonstrants: Serfs, Up!!
We got hit so hard. All we want to do is create content and grow but it has become so hard. We will take a step back, take a deep breath and go at it again. Our ad rev is gone. Thank you Casey for posting.

Lexi Forrest money talks unfortunately
I think Casey's point is that without the foundation that is the community RUclips has nothing to advertise on.
Lexi Forrest true
it's money after all
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

No community no RUclips.
sadly I'm getting no revenue until I hit 10000 view :(
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.
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.
Then why the hell are you watching? Leave. No ones forcing you to stay. Go watch your "real actors... and real productions"
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.
This video brings up really good points. As the community, we need to bring these issues to RUclips so we can keep this platform going great.
Legend TV do you really trust a monopoly? Remember Microsoft before the lawsuit ?
I glad you made this video.
If this video gets demonetized… I’m out.
YourFired see ya
YourFired it did
Ssandcrab82 RUclips I had an ad in front of this. Pretty sure your wrong.
Your name is misspelled.
YourFired I don't see any ads...
Casey neistat content cop - RUclips (BUSTED)
Netflix should add a way for creators to upload to a free version of Netflix and pay a premium for a regular Netflix
KAG REACTS I was thinking the same thing. But watch Google buy out Netflix.
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!!!
If netflix do or create a space free for creators to upload it will be a blast.
Netflix doesn't want to damage it's reputation by allowing trash videos from all "creators" and destroying all shows. The quality would drop and shock jocks would damage their image like it did RUclips.
Nahh Netflix won’t be Netflix anymore with toxic people posting toxic shit
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. RUclips definitely needs competition, BIG TIME!
I've been victimized by their bait-and-switch too. It's a real struggle to release new content now.
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)?
Casey, Phil and Ethan are probably the three of the most courageous RUclips creators who always stand up and speak out against RUclips when they feel the need to. I really salute these guys.
Creative North They know their rights, and they can do something about it.
Creative North those three that you've mentioned can perhaps work together to make a new platform that will compete with youtube. bad idea?
I just hope RUclips is watching this video
You guys need to watch Sam and Niko's response to "demonetized". There is more to this issue.
Casey phil and ethan were already demonetized a number of times. It's about time to stand up and speak out!
I heard Myspace was a good alternative platform.
Nostalgia
It's tru though
iChinnyAce u the etho rocks guy!?
Haha brings me back 12 years or so 😂
not just an alternative it was THE social platform alongside msn.oh how things have changed....
I'm glad you're really talking about this 'cause this has been getting worse FOR YEARS!! They have NOT been "doing their best," for a long time. They sold us out a long time ago!!
Whenever a company grows too much it starts getting shitty and eventually dies

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.
Successful Minds weren't the messages just automatic replies?
facebook has the same problem in communication with their users, unfortunately it is something that is a part of every large platform :(
Msdj Jdndn I think so
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.
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...
It sucks how RUclips is slowly caring less about its creators. Driving them out. Jeopardizing their job security. RUclips, please wake up and listen to the creators. We drive your business and without us, this platform won’t survive. xx
Spirited Gal we are all looking for other places to go. It will take some time
No, RUclips 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 RUclips, just without the controversy.
Spirited Gal no no no let them fail and see what happens. They've had over two years to correct this.
Clearly RUclips is trying to go a different direction, that is why youtubers are being pushed out, hence youtube creating RUclips Tv and Red. Streaming is evidently the future of Entertainment, and i think RUclips have realized this. Remember this site went from being video sharing site to a content creation site and now to a streaming site.
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, RUclips could see massive losses overnight!!
As a Member of "THE COMMUNITY" I thank you in veritas for that presentation and talk..you have such a significant and noteable influence with RUclips ,you conveyed my distrust and confusion in a format that cannot be ignored! Thank You SIR!!!!!!
Companies get big, then get greedy. That's how it has been for thousands of years, like death and taxes.
Thank you for being our voice Casey. This frustration has been going on for way too long. Content creators are constantly being put on the "please hold, your business is important to us", but we are never out of the hold queue
so true I miss the good old days of RUclips
RUclips are happy to take money from the advertisers but not so happy to pay the people creating their content.
YAS💯💯💯💯💯
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.
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.
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!🙄
Have they still been demonitized?
Money is their sense (google)
*"I don't know, it's not my 40 billion dollar company"*
I’d much rather see a video like this, rather than the typical complaining... good job Casey.
Fooligan yes ! i agree !
Fooligan ayyeeee fooligan
Suh dud
Fooligan Yep agreed
How ecstatic would the community be if RUclips actually listened to Casey on all of these - It would be like a RUclips Renaissance. RUclips 2.0 FTW!!
Yes to all of this 🙌🏼👍🏼 Well said, Casey.
Transparency and communication. Key for any business.
This is such a good reflection. This guy is so smart and so aware. Love you CNeistat!!

if literally anybody wants to make a better version of RUclips, now would be the time. Creators are tired of YT
kartana from state farm [IDK] stop hating
Going to twitch now.
overtflow
This could be a Game Changer for Block Buster! I hope they wake up.
That’s what twitch is going for rn. We’ll see what happens.
Twitch right now could come up remotely similar to RUclips like video saving and others I think they have an opportunity to take over unless RUclips at least tells people what there plan is or something.
In the car, Candace looks like she'd rather be home peeling potatoes.
I agree, they could do more to support us. Even the creator support team lacks practical, useful help. Thank you for speaking out!
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.
After Skool maybe the community should support/ unsupport RUclips 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
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.
Nicely said
LOL! This dummy thinks he deserves a union for miscellaneous 1099 income.
I love the After Skool channel! It’s in my top 5 favorites. Great work!
RUclips REALLY needs to watch this video..
probably youtube told casey to make this video to people think that youtube will improve something for the creators... the final part says it all
Rayhart Twins they will.... Believe me
YESSSSS
Yes they do!
hahahah YOU ARE JUST SAYING THAT TO STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE AND NOT PISS OFF RUclips COMPLETELY HAHHAH you bent over for them again if not completely
Thank you for posting this. I earn my living from RUclips 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.
Oh dayum!! Hit the nail with current events !
Such a professional approach to this issue. Thanks Casey!
Sadly enough. RUclips is slowly becoming more and more like TV lol.
Glenn Julifer and in my opinion TV is dying
Buseet
gleen jelifer sama jenifer aduuh galau
TV has no big problems with advertisers. advertisers aren't scared to sponsor news channels that talk about mass shootings or terrorist attacks.
I keep seeing SNL and the Ellen show in recommended videos. GTFO with that shit!
How does everyone plan on surviving the new Partnership cut-back?
So what do you plan to do about it!?
Get a job 😂😂😂😂
Thank you, i've watched so many RUclipsrs about this topic. You have been the most clear and informative.
Casey..
Thank you so much for making this video
Kojo He's bringing up a lot of interesting ideas
+GerardJoling Hahahahaha
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 RUclips 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
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.
24 Frames Of Nick by the way that is so annoying
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.
I can assure you, RUclips 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.
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 RUclips 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.
Interviewer: How many channels are you going to demonitise?
RUclips Employee(s): *Yes*
Really good summation. I hope they listen to you. Too bad successful businesses eventually get greedy.
A Tip to RUclipsrs 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.
plz explain me , why's this new policy?????
Do you upload as unlisted or private first before publishing?
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.
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 :)
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
Famous RUclipsrs really need to do the ad boycott again. By disabling ads RUclips does not make money and they would probably take action and have a solution.
HypnotiZe the number of likes on this comment shows how idiotic the system and people here have come to be. Your point is accurate mate
Cermet Thank you! Lets make this comment grow so casey can see this solutuion!
I thought Uber was bad. I feel the same way about Uber but after hearing about RUclips Uber does a pretty good job.
Same Problem with Fiverr. Sellers are nothing, buyers are everything for them.
Casey said "community" 104 times in this video..
amen thank you for pointing that out. the term "community" needs to be destroyed. it's nice-talk by FB and google for their users and newspeak for the Orwellian speech control inherent in their platforms and business models.
That's fucking right RUclips bent over for the advertisers 😭 and fucked the creators who drive traffic to youtube. Makes no sense.
I do like your ideas for a solution Casey 😎👌
The bike guy is right 👌👍
Don't hold back Joe! Tell us how you (and the rest of us) really feel!
If it wasn’t for pewdiepie careless actions there wouldn’t have been an adpocalypse
You watch Casey too wow 😮
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.
For my understanding: IF YOU WORK, YOU GET PAID, NO WORK NO PAY. Doesn`t matter how many hrs you work.
They basically screwed everyone but the "Paul Logans of RUclips" and did so without vaseline. He took no hit for this shitshow he started, he actually gain followers which in turn put cash in his pockets . My hope in near future there is a viable alternative. Some of the people who are RUclips Stars today couldn't have done it under this model.
Facebook Watch is probably stoked about all of this....
Facebook has the leverage to give creators what they want. They can win on sheer volume alone. Satisfy the big guys and the little guys. RUclips is getting ahead of itself.
None of this YT BS drives people to Facebook, because FB has no viable revenue sharing program for small and medium sized creators. For the most part Facebook monetizes *everything* (including stolen content from other platforms), and they keep all the ad revenue themselves ($9B just last quarter). Also if you have a ton of followers FB will randomly limit distribution of new content, so if you want your content to reach all of your *own* followers, you have to pay FB. The only way to leverage FB's larger potential audience to make money is to post sponsored content, or promote your own external products/services.
Fuck Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg can go fuck himself with all the freebooted and letterboxed Facebook videos
In Toronto, there are multiple billboards advertising Canadian RUclipsrs.
Theres a few in vancouver mate im a canadain to eh :)
That's really cool! I was definitely not aware of that. It's good RUclips is starting to think about that.
Wow... and we're back on the east coast of Canada lol 🤣🤣😫😫🙃🙃
He who pays the piper calls the tune. He who has the gold makes the rules.
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 RUclips commanders did not watch the "New One Minute Manager"
Waiting for the right competition to come by...
Phantom Rides youtube is wayyyy to big to have any competitors anytime soon. Even twitch is TINY in comparision :(
There are many alternatives to RUclips that have already "come by." The fact that u don't know this emphasizes the problem: people get stuck to the same brands and don't bother to search for the little guy.
Phantom Rides facebook watch is coming
facebook is worse, they give nothing no nobody.
All it needs is for the people with a lot of subscribers to start moving over to another platform for people for youtube to take notice.
Now this RUclips video is going to be Demonitized.
Literally saw a ad right now.
This video is following the community guidelines so no it will not.
Nb4 hate speech
Ninja1inblack that doesn’t stop them 😂
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.
5:00 mins in ... Fantastic analogy Casey --- 👍 !!!
P.S. RUclips 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?!? 😳
You have such a huge following and a tech background... why not create the competition yourself?
Denise Houk I agree...why not? 😇
You forget the money part
UPVOTE THIS COMMENT SO CASEY SEES THIS IDEA

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.
aye if it isn't Based Zeus
Based Zeus Could be because of the half naked girls on your thumbnails...

Luv ya
Well, look at your fucking thumbnails.
I had been thinking the same thing about RUclips. When a company thinks they are invincible they fall.
They need to get it right.
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!
LaMisto 100 for 1M? That's absurd. I hope RUclips will fix this soon bro. Cheers!
start with english
LaMisto my question is how do you have 75k in just 6 months?
Lightning Whip there’s other youtubers that have gotten a million in that time so
Nice one M
RUclips also needs to fix their goddamn recommendation system. Stuff I already watched keeps popping up in my feed
Nicholas Choi yes, totally agree! One of the strangest features on RUclips.
Sitting here 2 and three quarter years later and none of it has really been fixed
How about users boycotting ads by skipping them from the start. Stats would show advertisers how they aren't benifitting
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
@@adityaaurora9869 who cares about the creaters
Creators still get paid for the adds you skip
My problem with youtube is that it's hard for the little people to get noticed
Make better content. Stuff people are willing to watch.
My content is great! I have a lot of views and likes, but I was saying it's hard to get even more out there than I have. Check out my stuff, I'm a college vlogger and traveller.
If every little RUclipsr got big instantly then everyone would be doing it
I know. RUclips takes a lot of effort, time, and luck. It's hard to get yourself out there. An easy way to promote your self is in the comments of other videos, but I think that that is kind of dumb. I brought it up on this video because this seems to be the place to talk about it.
Dryden Joss Trust me, as a vlogger of nearly 10 years, I 100% agree!
One simple thing youtube needs to do: when a video is demonetized, youtube needs to tell us WHY. The algorithm may find something in the most PC and perfect video you've ever created, it gets demonetized, and it doesn't tell you why... it doesn't tell you a specific reason. So how are we supposed to fix it? Also, unless you are big in views, you cannot always appeal these demonetized videos like casey. The little guys are just totally screwed over.
Well said @1Lifeonearth
Excellent points on both sides of the issue - thank you.
I give these policies a huge hiss!
1. They protect nobody but the share of those who already have a good thing going.
2. It is dishonest to disguise this redistribution as a protective measure.
3. Those who are trying to emerge are suffocated with an extra obstacle.
Casey is testing the RUclips algorithm at the end of the video, seeing if it will get demonetized because of the F bomb in the song
what's good whatever
Post something
Sorry bucko, this is a pg13 zone 👮🤚🛑
what popping baby boo?
lol right
THIS IS ALL WALL STREET JOURNALS FAULT
When RUclips puts advertisers above their community, fundamental aspects of this website become lost.
They still don't have this worked out.
Wasn't expecting real muthaphukkin g's to be used in the video, casey
Angus Cooper, were ads even running on this for you? They weren't for me even right after it was posted.
Wasn’t expecting you to know the real name of the song (Real West Coast Gs) just called it what the dude who uploaded it on RUclips called it
thorough and insightful. a choice to get paid in stock is genius. thanks for doing this. i think it'll make a difference.
This is a fantastic breakdown of the things that RUclips (or any other creator-propelled company) should be doing
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. RUclips, 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.
I could not agree with this video more. I love RUclips, I love being a RUclipsr, and I very much want the company to have success. But it needs to care its creators.
we do need more care!
preach
I'm gonna watch the Indonesia Vlog once again, just in case it was demonetized when i watched it for the first time.
+eka putra Actually, it does! Ad revenue is based on ad renders and clicks. Him watching the video again could very well give the creator more earnings!
Definitely RUclips should allow creators to have more control over what advertisers are viewed during their videos.
As Richard Stallman says, "you are either the customer or the product."
*DEMONETIZED ! ....RUclipsrs 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 RUclips 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...RUclips will not be around when another platform comes around and ppl like me will flee, hence the eventual downfall*
StarrTile y’all getting demonetized because you keep using cap lock titles. Smh. Look it up.
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom
Pierre Lescours oh that is awful 😂
It's not always a matter of depending on RUclips. I don't depend on RUclips 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.
exactly!
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 RUclips responds with putting the creators before the companies displaying ads.
i think this is possible already
Use your website and do 50 keywords SEO ... You will own everything.
What about small youtubers? Or youtubers that don't necessarily have a channel with a specific purpose (filthy frank, idubbbztv kind of youtubers)
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
Post net neutrality, RUclips content creators will be considered competitors to companies worth billions of dollars. ISPs will have no reason to deliver independent RUclips content.. The RUclips community is fucked and RUclips is already catering to ISPs.
⭕ *at the end of the day, Neistat is only worried about his POCKETS. He doesnt care about us* 😐
Those maltesers are distracting
