Hello and welcome to the YouTubers Union!
It's been about a month now since I've uploaded the first video and we had some phenomenal success since then and
This is just a little update
we have about
16,000 members now and I guess 10% of them are creators
having a total of between 40 and 60 million subscribers and
Been on YouTube with about a total of 250 thousand videos altogether
We have seen some major coverage by other youtubers, bloggers,
by online and print press radio interviews, and I even have some TV interviews coming up .
So this was what happens when you mess with influencers, they have influence!
Of course, we still have the Facebook group and I invite everyone who isn't a member already to join us
Which is really our news blog page. So this is not where we really discussed
individual issues and for individual discussions
We have a forum and the forms also
pretty active and well kept I guess the biggest news is that we actually had a meeting with four people from YouTube and
The top dock was actually the global head of monetization so fairly high up and it was a good discussion
we've been talking about all the points that we had for monetization and
Actually for the first time ever YouTube admitted officially that there is hidden the monetization
so even videos that look completely green dollars and everything are
Probably d monetized at least in part
So that a lot of advertisers will use an option to kick them out
and therefore that is the reason why we see a lot less income on anything that has
Something remotely to do with the socially
Controversial content but also it becomes really really clear that YouTube's its links and departments
This means that the guy is a lot responsible for monetization have nothing to do with the partners and they don't actually care much about
Partners and creators they care for what they are measured against in their how many advertisements they're bringing in
And that is a part of what we're seeing here. Is that you know
you get kicked from all kinds of directions as a creator and
There are different people responsible for this at YouTube, but it's it's not a common
Entity it feels for us like it is a common entity
But it isn't these first discussions have been pretty good and they told me many times
How valuable this is and what kind of good feedback that is
but we will see they would have set this in any case no matter what I if I probably have said that I think we
Need a new pope. They probably would have said this is good feedback tools
In any case we will see what comes out of it. They invited me for further discussions and that is really great
So I will not accept any stalling and I will not accept any holo blah blah
I want to see action, too
but for now
I'm really happy that you to bring knowledge is us and then we have a say in the things that happen
Now what we also did is we had a survey actually two surveys one for users and one for creators
Because we know so many that statistically what we do is highly relevant
therefore I asked a few questions and the outcome has been very very very interesting because it proves that first of all the
subscription notification system is completely broken or
tampered with by YouTube
and also that the entire trending recommended thing is flawed because it is absolutely clear that
Monetization plays a role even though YouTube totally denies
This forty eight point eight percent of the users are unhappy with the upload notification system
60 percent of the users report missing notifications, even for Bell subscriptions YouTube says this isn't happening
Forty four point two percent of the users have been d-sub from channels
75 percent of the creators have experienced the monetization. That's quite a number
Forty percent of the creators experience filtering even for monetized videos
Seventy one point two percent of the creator's think that people are being deceived
The income of the creator's is down on average and very significantly so now of course people can say that this is not representative because
You know the YouTube Union only has members that are unhappy with YouTube and that is true
This is a very very representative study for those who are unhappy with things at YouTube. Obviously
Those are more than just a few but it absolutely cannot be denied that something is wrong with the subscription
Notification system then also it is totally clear that this is not platform dependent
Because I asked people what platforms they are using and it is all over it is on desktop
It is on iPhone and it is on Android so there is is
So this is not a platform specific bug and I have a suspicion that this actually has been tampered with
By YouTube pushes the scandal because I think it's actually fraud because they are telling people if you click on this bell symbol
Then you will get a notification
Any time this channel is uploading a video and it's not happening and that is not right
You know, they don't give people what they want
They give people what they think is valuable for their business and that is absolutely a no-no
All right
So a few questions that have been brought up to me that I'd like to address
First of all, when will we start with actual measures?
Well, it's too early because right now YouTube is still talking to us. They are negotiating. It's an open discussion
This is not the time to really do something against them
But of course my patience isn't very very long-lasting
If I see that they stall we will immediately kick into action and that may be very soon
Then of course, the next question is what is a typical measure? You know, what can we do against YouTube?
Well, we can we can hit them where it hurts
I would simply ask the creators amongst us to stop uploading full videos to YouTube for a while
Maybe two weeks or maybe three weeks and instead uploading the content to any other platform
I don't care if it's Facebook or Vimeo or whatever, you know
Whatever you view like and and then only put teasers onto YouTube with a link to the real video
Because that hits YouTube heart what they hate the most is that people leave the platform and this is exactly what people would do
They would leave the YouTube platform. And I think this would be a very cool measure
But it's too early yet
then very often people say well then look for something else start an own website or go to
Full 30 go to Vimeo. Whatever go to pornhub by all means. Well, first of all, let me make it very clear
This is the youtubers union. This is not the YouTube Critters Union. This means we want to make youtube a better platform
We want to go back to what used to be YouTube and we also money enhanced version of YouTube
But what we don't want is we don't want to leave that platform behind
Because there's too much hard blood that we put into it
but also
Where do you want to go to?
what does it take for an alternative platform to really be serious competition for YouTube from the
perspective of a creator who needs to make a living
well, first of all, it needs to have an income system for the creators that is worth something something and
Second it needs to have good infrastructure. We need a good software platform that's reliable and relatively bug free
We need a good recommendation trending system
so new users will find our videos and what we also definitely need is traffic and
That is one thing that most of the alternative platforms right now don't have you know
Things happen on YouTube things don't happen on Vimeo and they don't happen on full30 and they they probably happen at pornhub
But not the kind of action that we like to see
some cause
If you look at the alternative that forms Vimeo well memmio
Doesn't have a way for creators to earn money actually costs money to run the channel on Vimeo. So that is a no-no
But then full30 which is right now only open to invited channels
This also has very little traffic and we have some creators that tested it
And are very unhappy and actually left the platform again because of software issues, but also financial problems
Then we have pornhub which they certainly have the infrastructure. They're hosting
Videos and really so they could host just a few more but then their business model is completely different
pornhub makes money by playing small dirty video clips
actually trailers something and then that is supposed to bring people over to
Subscribed platform so they have to pay money for seemed full version
There may work with hardcore pornography was probably not working with
Socially controversial content like gun videos like news they'd also record about revolution and war and all these things
Therefore I don't think that pornhub is an alternative either
And then there's dailymotion and they are probably the most hopeful platform that we have out there
But they still lack traffic massively lack traffic, you know
So there's some serious limitation on resolution of the video and on length and all these things
So but that is our alternative that one day may actually rival YouTube but right now it's not okay
Alright, then, of course, we have a lot of questions about the recent shooting at the YouTube headquarters in San Bruno
first of all, let me say this is a terrible incident and I hope that the poor victims will recover swiftly and fully
We actually condemn these actions
Violence is not the way to go and it's not needed we can do this together with YouTube
We can negotiate we can make the platform better by dialogue by talking to each other and not by killing each other
But it also shows how much anger and frustration
YouTube's change of policy created this was actually very brutal harsh unannounced and also
because of the lack of communication it was also really making people angry and this is what happens when you make thousands and thousands of
Some of them may have mental problems already and may snap because of this and I believe this is what happened in San Bruno
We still of course is not right and it's I'm not saying that it's use YouTube's followed that that woman snapped. I
stopped getting views
So this is because I'm being filtered at this point the investigation
It is believed that the suspect was upset with policies and practices of YouTube
This appears to be the motive of this for this incident. We know that she was upset with YouTube and
We've determined that right now that's the motivation that we've identified
This is just actually the result also a result of what they did to a lot of people, you know
YouTube gave a lot of people like some kind of taste how it is to be famous
Popular and successful and then they took it all the way so, you know
That's why I'm saying we need to have monetization bringing brought back to small channels
It's not the money because these channels made almost no money before it's just pocket money is on the cash
It's to hope that is the problem, you know
You should pull the rug from underneath these people and they by taking away the hope that one day they may be
successful and make a living from YouTube
And now it's all over because the videos that are not monetized obviously because of this is what it is
We are not listed in trending and in a minute as much and therefore
It's almost hopeless. All these small channels. Saw a loss of use not just the loss of monetization
They also saw that they're losing subscribers and views and this actually is what torments people therefore I'm saying bring this back
So that was my update for today
And I also would like to add a small call to action
Please share this it is in the public domain. It's actually
Creative Commons
So everybody can take all of it or parts of it and spread it spread the word go on Facebook and bring people
To our union because the more we are the higher our chances are that we can change something
Remember united we stand and united we will succeed
Thanks, and bye. Bye
