I spent over 30 hours on one of my videos, and I was not able to monetize it. I’m feeling absolutely terrible. - Розваги
Watching the GIV is like spending time with a friend.
💯 true. 🎉
EXACTLY!
yes, he's one of the nicest dudes on youtube.
I agree.
That’s because we are lol God bless everybody everywhere
You feel an emptiness because your store was part of your identity. It’s like a death, you’re grieving the loss of your business and the very important part of you that was your store. That’s part of the fear that you feel.
Well, he spent a lot of time out videoing L.A. (especially Venice Beach homeless problem) and travelling back and forth to Germany, neglecting his business, which I suspect wasn't very profitable anyway. So, now that UA-cam revenue is declining, I'm supposed to feel sorry for him? Don't get me wrong... I like Mike! I just believe he needs to rearrange his priorities and tactics...
@@stillnotwokewell he was going back home to spend time with his elderly mother
I've just recently realized I'm going to be "no contact" with my older sister who I used to be very close with decades ago. But I've had to realize we've "grown apart" as they say. A loss still hurts.
I thought the same thing, part of the identity is gone.
Scheiss
Mike please hang in there. I am down the road from you in PV. My wife and I are raising twin teenagers in this economy and really struggling. Everyone thinks everything is rosy, but it’s tough right now. Just keep being you, this will turn around 🙏
. change what you can , emotions of stability .
These are strange times. My SSDI doesn’t cover my bills. I cut off cable tv. $160. electric bill for a 1-br condo?
Your anxiety, emptiness etc will get worse if you dont get on a regular sleep cycle, this is one thing i know for sure. sleep at night 8 hours and try to eat clean always. You are a really nice guy!!! You will be fine and even more sucessful!
The GIV has a sincere honesty about him that one just doesn’t come across very often. He is the kind of guy you’d would like to have as a friend. No back doors in him. Bless you brother!
💯🤘👍💪🙏
Someone once told me when one door closes another one opens, but the difficult part is walking thru the hallways..
eh making videos complaining WONT atrract anyone. it makes people leave. no one cares about anyones sadness or problems. we just wanna watch videos. we dont care about how much money anyone is making or how much money or effort it takes to make a video. this platform was made FOR CREATORS. not COMPLAINERS. if youre talented, UA-cam is the place for you. if youre trying to make money off youtube, this isnt the place for you......
very true
@@drywater3559Who hurt you?
youssef16844. That is such a a dumb trending comment. Your the type of person to use the word snowflake as well I bet
@@drywater3559 I understand where you're coming from, since we're looking for something that keeps our thoughts away from our own worries, but the other side is: If our favorite youtubers end up closing their channel because of problems they never talked about, everyone will be like, why haven't you said anything? We'd have been here to help! So I'd rather have people speak up about their hard times and have the possibility to help if I can, before my fav youtubers just disappear without a trace.
Firstly, that little payphone is awesome. Secondly, artists of any trade can relate to these feelings of frustration with the system, fear of the future, and a desire for inspiration. Thanks for being real and raw with us. We're all in this together, and we believe in you, man!
I'm a native Californian and your videos always show me something i didn't know about my hometown. Keep your chin up and don't let the b.s. get you down. You do a fantastic job and your accent is cool too. Know that you're appreciated and admired.
It was so nice meeting you, Mike. You made my day yesterday. I'm the girl who took a picture with you. I was dressed in black and mentioned that my family and I are subscribers to your channel and never miss an episode! There were plenty of people filming that day. That woman was so full of herself. Sorry she made you feel bad. Keep your head up and keep doing what your doing. Your viewers support you. Stay Amazing Mike!
would be great to see your costume/cosplay
Mike, the AI robot searches your videos when you post them.
So you must realise the AI is judging every video from now on.
If you don't impress the AI, your video won't get shown.
Only 5 people get to see them.
It's really frustrating.
But this is the beginning.
You can't post DANGEROUS content
@@Gma7788it wasn't dangerous because the tight rope walker had a safety line attached to the slack line to catch his fall
Mike , I know where you're at I lived there . I had a three story condo on sycamore ave .and Lexington .I had success and so much fun living there in the 90's .
I enjoy your work .
I'm now65 . Still like men . Live in st Pete Florida.
I miss my life in LA . What a wonderful experience it was .
When your self employed you feel free but you never feel secure. Its part of being an entrepreneur or self employed. Every day is a new start and thats part of the good and bad of it.
Sounds like you’ve had a rough couple days. Hang in there, man. It’ll get better
Mike, you are the best of Los Angeles! Have you considered making videos of Los Angeles like cashjordan does of new York? I would love to help you. As a lifelong Angeleno you have opened my eyes to the wonders and the problems of Los Angeles. Somebody needs to point out what is wrong and how we can fix it. You can be the one! Keep doing what you are doing. Tell us how we can help you make LA great again!
GIV, I get that feeling you mentioned. You feel sad, lost. What gets me out of that feeling, knowing Im not alone. Your not alone either. Believe this. Keep talking to us, when you feeling good or not so good. We care about you. ❤
That's how you know that you are creating art. When it isn't always acceptable to everyone.
I totally understand you just said good bye to you dream 😢 Just remember what you told us you are going to put a stand up so you don't have to pay for a shop you'll feel better when you get everything in storage and have you stand and see all your old friends and store neighbors around again❤ we love you ❤ we will keep watching and rooting for you 😊You are amazing and we love you❤
Hey Mike, your biggest asset is you. We all watch your videos because you're a guy with charisma and character who engages an audience. You could make a video about shopping in Walmart and thousands would watch. Don't feel to much pressure to find content. Just be you and people will watch your videos.
The video might not be monetized but still get you new subscribers and such in the long run. Sorry they were unfair to you, but know this, your fans do appreciate the effort and work you put into all your videos. I know it’s hard, but remember you are loved.
You are loved.
GIV is under total control of the pseudo commies that manage YT
You are just a normal man living in America. I enjoy listening to you.
Hi Mike. I just moved to L.A. in January, partially because your videos were so enjoyable and inspiring.
Since I got here, I've only seen one celeb on the street: you bike riding toward Venice a couple of weeks ago.
I was too slow to say hello then, so I'm doing it now. Your videos are appreciated and your channel matters to all of us. All the best to you.
You moved to LA because of a UA-camr?
@@boxingandbulldogs6341 Obviously not what was said. It was because of the sights and sounds of Los Angeles that a UA-camr broadcast on his channel. But you know this already, one would hope.
@@historyiwitness5915 "Hi Mike. I just moved to L.A. in January, partially because your videos were so enjoyable and inspiring". What part of that don't you understand?
@@boxingandbulldogs6341 You're replying to the wrong person so there is much you don't understand, as well.
@@boxingandbulldogs6341 It's you who has comprehension issues, pal. They moved BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY SAW IN THE VIDEOS. Is this really that hard for you?
We love you Mike. We’ll continue to watch. You make sure adverts appear so you get paid.
Don't be so hard on yourself! Your loyal subscribers will always support you. If you recall, the videos that make money are the ones you LEAST expect! Don't get frustrated, my dear. And for those Karen's...FTP! (those who know.. know)
Sorry to hear that brother. It seems like almost everything is ridiculous these days.
The older we get, the less we know. & sometimes to open another door, you need to close the one behind you completely. Life is a mystery & that's the beauty of it all. You doing just fine. 👍
Very wise words.
I thought it was a highway that we're supposed to ride all night long.
I'm dutch in Germany. I just lissened to a friend being down. I, like a lot of people, can relate, I guess. Ich drücke dir die Daumen. L.G. from Germany.
A loss is a loss, It Is Ok to feel sad or empty, and a bit confused and concerned.... I'm Scared Too, And I'm 54!!!! Ask God To Guide You!! Peace and Love!!! From Cincinnati Ohio!!
Fellow Cincinnatian, I echo your sentiment and advice here. Cool that people can connect in the comment section, will say a prayer for you as well friend-that you reach out to others (GIV) in a friendly manner. That speaks of your character & I’m sure Mike appreciates the support.
@@imurhuckleberry5793 That is what we need more of, prayers 🙏❤️ to you And GIV 💯
if you miss Venice, try to rent space from one of your friends. Not the whole space,just a portion. Then you can have home base again.
I was thinking the same thing.
Great ideea 👍
Not the same as having your own store being the boss. That's like being an employee or a sub renting space from the tenant. I guess that could be done as an economical way to get a product out, but unlikely to happen for the business operator wouldn't want the competition taking money out of the situation resulting in decreased profits for h im.
Great idea!
I know people who have done that and it works for both parties. You feed off one another, bringing in business for everyone!
Giv, you are the best! I love your voice! Stay strong. You got this, dude!
My home away from home was a tattoo shop. It burned down.
I can tell you first hand, that feeling of emptiness will never go away.
We just get to find new ways to live.
Life always moves on, whether its hard or easy. Sad or happy.
Great things are still to come!!
Mike, it is not the slacklining itself that is the problem. Most likely you got demonetized because what those people are doing is committing a crime. They are trespassing. You cannot expect a video that depicts a crime being committed to be monetized. Wish you the best in all your future videos, love your content. Cheers.
WOW! I think you are right! But the weird thing is the guy got away with it.
@@GH-bg7dw whether he got away with it or not is besides the point. You can’t monetize an illegal activity on this platform.
Exactly! Need to look at the full picture. If you continue to film illegal acts for UA-cam then don’t expect to make money from them. This isn’t a new concept, it’s literally in the user agreement.
The news reports crimes being committed constantly and are monetized. Your logic is nonsensical.
I am 53 years old self employed from Newcastle-upon-Tyne UK. I still feel afraid, been 20 years now. Feel a bit like the leaf in forest gump at times. Best wishes.
I can relate but I’d never do it again. Money is great but peace of mind is way more worthy imho.
word
Leaf? I thought it was a feather.
From London, 63 self employed doing OK. But still afraid
My grandfather was from there!
Mike, that video was one of your best, I was really impressed! Can't believe you did not get any $ for it. I can understand your feeling, hope you have better luck on your next one.
I enjoy your content GiV, I'll watch as long as you make it. Most of your videos make me happy my man. The only one that was kinda sad was when you closed your store. Thank you for all the awesome content. 👍
Acceptance is a jagged bitter pill that often sticks in the back of your throat. Drink your Snapple, swallow hard, and march on. You are the GIV! You are the safety you seek and no one can take that away! ❤️
You have a great personality and spirit. 🕊🎶🕊Blessings.🌸
Been watching your videos for a while, please keep posting, you are.a joy to watch!
Sad to hear about the monetization. I find your videos interesting, and I must say that I like that they are not overproduced, meaning that the content and your dialogue is the focus. Your channel is very unique and if you plan to "upgrade" to a real studio or "better" production, take care to not go overboard in order to become like everyone else, where the uniqueness fades away and gets replaced with picture perfect photo and editing and loses everything that makes this channel what it is.
Keep up the great work!
Welcome to the club. I had a channel dedicated to horse racing, got thousands of views. YT would play ads, they were making money from my labor, but i never saw a penny. So I stopped.
@TheDare34 wake up and realize it's a giant hoax
They expect us to work for them, for free. It's slavery.
so cosplayers dress up using other people's copyrighted art, and they have the audacity to act like you need permission to film them? unreal
Specially, cause, the stunt, was public. They are nuts! Anyone would be in the RIGHT.
Most of the female cosplayers think all the guys that go to comic cons are nerdy perverts, and maybe some of them can be, but that's why some of them can be over-reactive like that.
In America, no one in a public space has the "right" to expect privacy. You have the legal right in this country to film people in public, regardless of what they say. It's true. It's literally the law.
@@timothyexner the space itself is legally public. A private event in a public space, like a wedding, could temporarily cause the space to be regarded as "private", but a good lawyer could make enough of a grey area in the case of something as large as Comic Con.
@@timothyexner So you think that someone at a sporting event in a private sports arena has to ask the players if they can take photos of them ? No difference for any of the events held for tool shows, electronics shows, car shows , etc - you know people are going to be there taking photos and videos of everything they want to there. The girls GIV said he took photo of even had a mask on so they weren't identified.
I really enjoy your videos. You're being very hard on yourself considering you've just lost your store. Give yourself some chill time and be king to yourself because we all need that sometimes. You're an amazing person. You'll be fine.
I can't understand why they don't monetize your video. If you watch the stunt videos from Red Bull, I don't think they aren't monetized either. Thank you for this video. You can always talk to us if you feel like it. I'm a good listener. All the best to you! Can't wait for the ComicCon video. Tschüssi from Switzerland.
Mike, we just watched your video about graffiti towers and it was excellent; probably one of your best. Great editing, commentary and video content.
P.P.S. I'm a cancer survivor, my son a diabetic type 1, we both have ongoing health issues, and no money , but are rich in love. So you will be just fine, and you did make me smile, so thanks. O yes you mentioned your apt. yes that is your home, maybe second your car, lol, home is where we hang our hat, and where our heart is, YES, I was just saying also, lol.. go live. . haha, great minds think alike.. P.P.P.S. Come to West Virginia, the mountains are the best.. maybe you need a country vaca.. ;)
GIV I love all your content… you are a very talented artist capturing things that are interesting. I enjoy watching your videos because they are from your point of view. Keep up the great work and eventually company’s will start sponsoring your videos. ❤ take care, we are here for you!
I don’t watch you to fall asleep….however I do watch you almost every night…it’s relaxing and I can relate to you so much. I wish everyone’s channels were as ‘real’ as yours.
Ps I had a shitty day yesterday too….must be something in the air. Hugs
You are absolutely Awsome !!
DO NOT LISTEN to the haters !!
Keep going .. we never miss a video !!
When one door closes another one opens !! Stand tall ... keep going !!
We luv u & your videos !!!
Absolutely true ❤we love you GIV You're not alone ❤️
Your store was part of your life, it was part of you. And a kind of home base for your followers. I miss it even now, I look at GRIND just to see your location again! Mike, please continue making the films, we need it too.
Hang in there Mike. Keep churning out videos. You're an excellent UA-camr.
wonder how much was rent per month ?
Keep it real GIV... we love you for that
Keep on keeping on brother ✌️
I watch your videos when I’m down & out & missed my kids then feel like not leaving the house. On any video you make you’re an inspiration for having a go & putting it all on the line & backing yourself with everything to follow your dreams. I guess you’ve got to take the good with the bad but most importantly enjoy & learn from the journey.
As an isolated person living in a big city you’re helping me through one of those low patches, thanks so much for giving me the inspiration to keep following the dream, cheers GIV 🤝
Keep your head up GIV, and you did make my day way better.👌 I enjoy watching your videos and listening to your stories. 🎉🎉🎉 let's get this video 50k VIEWS, GIV followers, let's make his day. ❤
Thanks giv you're video got me thinking positive, Saturday at 5am my mom suffered a heart attack and been having terrible anxiety and stress, but you're energy brought me back up threw this difficult time I'm going threw. Stay golden 😊
@theactor167 I hope your Mom will be ok. ❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hope your mom is ok
Prayers of recovery for your mom and easy of your anxiety 🙏
Keep on keeping on my friend. Your videos are awesome and you keep the content respectful. Don’t feel down remember we’re here for you.
Hang in there brother i appreciate your videos n lets me take a peak of whats out there. One who cant travel yet due to taking care of my mom n working long shifts. Your videos help kill the dull days at work n keep at it. Good things will come 🙏
Looking forward to Europe and MOM !!!!
I love your blog. So sorry your business closed.
I really appreciate how you share the good and the tough times. I have enjoyed all your videos. You are one of the most enjoyable humans on the planet. Thank you for sharing.
GIV love your content. We're all a little crazy that's what makes us unique. You're craziness is party of your likeable personality, which gets you followers on
UA-cam. With the security of the store gone and then getting a video demonetized it is upsetting especially after all your hard work. Change is hard but keep your chin up, onwards and upwards!
At least you're still drinking a bottle of Snapple and not a bottle of vodka.
My advice?
Move to Las Vegas.
You can still keep your name GIV (German In Vegas) too.
Or Virginia
Or Vermont
Or go to the real Venice in Italy?
I live in Henderson NV just outside of Vegas. I wouldn't recommend it. Median price of a home in the Vegas Valley is $440,000 and there's still a federal emergency drought restrictions, inflation is crazy. Market price of a 1 bedroom apt. Is $1800+. Cost of living going up like crazy and so is violent crime. Murders almost daily. Lots of places in this country but I can't wait to get out of here. Hey, I grew up in Malibu, Marina del Rey and Venice! Love ya GIV. You'll find a new groove, change is hard and it takes some time. You've got a great big base of friends here. You're not alone. Love ya
@@smartasspatriot445 nothing exciting about Vegas to live around there either. All it is, clubs, drugs, prostitution, drinking, partying, gambling,
Me and my friend live in Scotland and have following your videos for a few years, keep going 💪 It’s not nice to hear you’re feeling bad, but it’s good to be open and talk about it so I’m glad you’re sharing this. Take care 🙂
I live in Charlotte, but used to go to your 7-11 all the time. You are my news source for back home these days. Love you, brother! Keep doing it!
I’ve made over a 100 videos and still not monetized. I know what you’re talking about sir. Keep em coming though.
I've created over 70 videos trying to become monetized and spent thousands of dollars but still can't get monetized. UA-cam is hardwork.. do what makes you happy not what makes you money. Good luck homie. I support you.
Why? What’s their excuse ? There are channels with far less earning money..
youtube is not hardwork ; youtube is a bigtech scam where bigtech dictators pocket all the money while
others do the work ; and YT is so entitled that they never have the decency to give you a specific reason/answer .
When big money moved in, creativity moved out.
On what did you spend thousands of dollars on?
Wow that says it all
I chased the almighty dollar for 30 yrs never ending up more than a few bucks more at the next job &
EMPTY PROMISES 😑FINALLY DONE WITH ALL THE S H I T !!!!! WE LOVE U German in Venice 🎉 jus move on DONT LOOK BACK 🎉❤ Love & PRAYER'S ❤
GOD'S GOT U🎉
Many hobbies that people love becomes their job.
The more you share your thoughts, victories, and frustrations, the more others (myself included) are able to identity with you ... because we also feel these things and have similar experiences. It was also very insightful to learn how UA-cam decides what makes money and what doesn't. Thanks Mike, we love you!
Love your vlogs Mike. Understand the huge amount of effort & passion that you put into your work. You deserve the maximum respect and success for your work.
Hang in there GIV 😊 👍
Wishing you the best - a fan from Brussels, Belgium
Damn Mike, so sorry. It's complete BS. UA-cam even tried to copyright strike one of my own songs. Luckily the record label fought it. Love your videos, keep your chin up man. 💪🏼
I've had my own music get a copyright strike as well. Too funny because copyrighted music is all over the tube.
We as ppl may not express how we feel but we appreciate your efforts and time you spend bringing us great content . You have a great attitude and a heart of gold. Keep going and thank you. Much luv❤
Awesome, pull yourself out of it, we will support! ❤❤❤ your vids
A big fan from Brazil, here!
I enjoy your channel so very much- One door closes and so many more open- Change is hard leaving your store was hard but listening to your story it was the right thing to do in your life to be a full time video recorder for UA-cam. Good luck to you on your journey I will enjoy watching your next adventure.
I was there Saturday all the way from New York City. I took a picture at the location of your old store. I hoped to see you around! Keep making videos we enjoy them all!
I’m scared too GIV. We’re going through something.
Yes we are going through a HUGE something!!! LOOK UP!! God is trying to get our attention!!!
WATCH THE CHOSEN !!!!
Mike
You do a GREAT job. Don’t take things so personally. We look forward to ur posts and are disappointed when you don’t post. It is evident that you do ur homework and you end up with great content. Keep doing what ur doing! And keep venting, it is good for you. We just hate to se you feeling so bad.
I love watching you, I’m new to your channel. I don’t understand the pay thing on UA-cam, but I will definitely get more informed and help when I can, you do a great job and deserve more.
Keep doing what you are doing. You are, hands down, one of the nicest guys I ever know. Authentic, positive, fun. A great human being. We love you
Mike I love your videos. You have a special eye & personality for it. I was watching your slack rope video & the middle of watching it was removed. I was so disappointed because I was enjoying it. I was so happy when later it was back up & I could finish it. Please don't be upset about the monetization because at least people got to enjoy your video. Thank you for what you do. Your videos brighten my days. 🙂
There is CNBC clip in that video, probably why it's not monetized.
That's it!
I bet you're right
There's a UA-cam policy about not encouraging reckless and dangerous behavior. If he did 5 minutes of research he could have saved himself 30 hours of labor.
His door number 2 approach is a sob story to reel in donations from the suckers!
Would it work if he just removes the clip of cnbc clip and re-upload?
Hi Mike! Thank you for every video you give, I'm in central Canada and I love your channel! Listening to you talk I love it.
glad you are able to air your true feelings. I appreciate your honesty GIV. You are a very real person Mike. We are here to listen to you and also enjoy your videos. love from New York and a big hello to your Mutti 💕
love all your vids hope things get better for you soon GIV thanks for sharing...you matter❤
You are in the midst of change...and sometimes it feels scary n lonely....and more shat continues to happen.....but on the other side is something new and actually better. Take care GIV...:)
GIV you are so talented! Don’t let anyone steal your joy! Change is hard but keep your eye on the prize!
Glad to be here for your venting. Thanks for posting videos that put me in a chill mood after a day cooking mindlessly from 4am till 1 or 2 pm. Stay positive minded. You will be.
These very personal videos make us all feel like a very good friend is suffering, and makes us all want to help. We all can relate to the frustrations of life, even if the particular circumstances differ.
You rock brother. Be strong.
Love your videos GIV. You're definitely not crazy. Appreciate you processing your thoughts and sharing them with us
I always enjoy your videos, no matter what you share. You are very interesting to listen to! Thanks for all your videos as I always look forward to them.
You're one of the first channels i ever subscribed to.
I subcribed after the interview with the tweaker who was good at “spatial organization”. Mike’s earnest unpretentious second language approach to the meth psychosis was endearing. 😊
Loved the video! So informative. Sorry they play games with your money. You deserve the monetization for it. ✌️
Awww GIV!!! We love you !!! You’re like a real friend to hang out with!!!
Good Sir, I appreciate everything about this video. I feel that you are 100% justified in your thoughts and feelings, and I'm glad that you gave us this sincere moment in your life. Venice is a place I've had the great pleasure of visiting only a few times, but rich memories travel on with me. I share your interest. Your content is always relevant and satisfying. Thank you.
Thank You GIV Mike for sharing. Happy Safe Travels.
That was a great video 👌your style is what we all enjoy, use it as criticism and move on cheers bro
Thank you for sharing your very personal experience. You are such a rad person to watch and hear your feelings and opinions about everyday occurrences. Your fresh and honest personality makes us feel warm. 🤗
I’m so glad you are reading our comments and they are helping. I love the video you made about the the slack line walker at the graffiti towers. I’m looking forward to see the video you made about the Comic Con. Feel free to talk to us anytime. Myself included, many of us feel like hanging out with you is hanging out with a friend.
Wow the Comic-Con girls experience is crazy…. My son and I hit up a lot of them, and normally everyone is cool about being photographed and/or recorded. My son has really bad social anxiety, but he is a totally different person there. Anyways, you didn’t do anything wrong! We all love what you bring us. Thanks for the great content GIV.
Keep grinding, Mike! You cannot win them all. We’re all here to support your content!
In regards to those girls. Imagine dressing up in full cosplay, going to a Con where others are dressed & cameras everywhere yet getting upset when someone films you 😂😂😂
I can totally relate to you right now, brother! I'm 45 and just had to shut my business down also unfortunately. Scary indeed during these times in situations like this! If it makes ya feel better at least you have an awesome channel here on UA-cam and you're great at making videos & being on camera! I too also usually put your videos on and fall asleep watching & listening to the GIV, lol. 😅
I wish you the best, Mike. I enjoyed all your videos. Thank you. This is just a stepping stone in your life. It's a way THE HIGHER UP gets you to change. Stay positive. Can't wait to see you again.
