Has RUclips Been Going in the Wrong Direction?
Has RUclips outlived its usefulness to small RUclips creators who are an overwhelming majority on the platform?
Over the past year +, something very wrong has been ongoing at RUclips.
RUclips under CEO Wojcicki has been engaged in deceptive practices and even what amounts to fraud in its dealings with small RUclips Creator channels.
RUclips's MO now seems to be to get as many people as possible to upload videos while denying channel monetization to the overwhelming majority of uploaders who happen to be small creators.
As far as RUclips is concerned, it works very well as they still can and do make money on unmonetized videos by making them available to paying viewing public subscribing to RUclips Premium.
But they still like to dangle the carrot of channel monetization in front of people with small channels so people keep uploading and watching videos on the platform and, to this end, greedily lie that new RUclipsrs can have their channels monetized once they get 4,000 hours of views and over 1,000 subscribers.
But the reality is that they are lying and most channels reaching 4,000 view hours per year and 1,000 subscribers will never be approved for monetization -- ostensibly for the reason of failing RUclips's review of compliance with their policies, for example, because "re-used" content will be found on such channels (without specifying what that content is and in which videos it can allegedly be found), and you can count on the fact that Re-Used content will be found; if not, they will come up with some other reason not to approve monetization or will just suspend the decision for ever.
Also, RUclips's so called policies, against which new channels are supposedly reviewed, are changing every month in line with the dictates of RUclips bosses' all-consuming greed and with a view to getting more content for less and less in outlay and expenditure.
It is important to remember that in 2018 RUclips already demonetized tens if not hundreds of millions of small creator channels that had been fully in compliance with RUclips's so-called policies in effect at the time. Their only fault was RUclips's unwillingness to pay those channels for content anymore, however little that pay was per individual channel (still amounting to hundreds of millions over all such channels).
Also, over the same period, RUclips deprecated many extremely useful features, claiming they didn't see much use - but they were lying here again because the principal motive force in these deprecations was again greed pure and simple - the desire on the part of RUclips bosses to reduce expenditure and to make RUclips smaller and cheaper to run with less features.
It is therefore hard to avoid reaching the conclusion that RUclips is now greedy, rotten to the core, stinks and is nothing but a criminal gang of greedy thieving capitalists, appropriating people's videos for own commercial use (over RUclips Premium if nothing else) and as ever operating outside the spirit and even the letter of applicable laws in most countries while faking concern over topical issues and using them as a pretext to squeeze RUclips uploaders even more.
So, in light of the above, my suggestion is not to upload videos on RUclips anymore and even not to watch RUclips at all but if you still do, don't ever pay them for anything, especially for RUclips Premium, make them work for free, and use a good ad blocker too.
So, has RUclips been going in the wrong direction starting in 2018 or maybe even earlier? Discuss in the comments.
