I have mad respect for Robert willing to do this video, no other social platform would even think of doing this. And thank you Casey for giving him the platform to give him a voice that's heard.
Okay, let's be real. I really looked forward to this video, I expected to get some answers after months of no or very little communication from UA-cam about demonetization, ads, algorithms, the secret codes etc. All I got from this interview is the same vague, indirect statements that we've been getting over the last few months. There was nothing, absolutely nothing new or enriching in these 19 minutes. As a creator that tries to make a living out of, let's say, slightly edgy, not politically correct content, I am extremely disappointed. Every single video I uploaded in 2017 got demonetized, no suggested views, no recommendation boxes. I truly don't believe UA-cam cares about creators as much as they care about advertisers. After all, it's advertisers who have been bringing money to them, so why care so much about creators? Let's adapt to the PC rules and policies of the biggest companies in the world! Only mentioning the freedom of speech in this video is such a hypocrisy. I also can't believe Robert was born in the same country as me. We're very direct and honest here, unlike him in this interview. Shit, I'm gonna have some beers.
Good to see educational content being mentioned again. Often feels we are shoved into a corner with no real backing from UA-cam. EDU people could make some incredible UA-cam Red content, if given the opportunity.
Real Engineering the only youtube red series I have ever been interested in is Mind Field by Michael Stevens. It’s not like educational content hasn’t been given any opportunities when it comes to Red.
Honestly I think engineering education has been neglected by atleast western society as a whole, and UA-cam is just the voice of that society, personally I would love to see more engineering shows on UA-cam red as it is literally the building blocks of our society
Real Engineering agreed! As an online teacher, I use UA-cam as a tool for my students. UA-cam has been an invaluable resource and learning tool for everyone. I would definitely subscribe to Red if there are educational shows.👍
As a family that doesn't have cable anymore, UA-cam is out main source of video content. I would love to see more fun, educational content driven towards children. And if it exists I would love to see UA-cam back it more.
Algebraix's business model is eliminating the middle man. Google's the middle man, and runs their own advertising network. Part of that revenue goes to keeping UA-cam online. Why would Google host UA-cam for free?
Gus Johnson I think he should do this again, maybe regularly. It’s way better to make appearances on creator’s channels than to make their own channel like that CEO did. I’m not sure if he should just be on Casey’s channel, maybe switch it up a little.
I agree it was weak, but also, I think people had unrealistic expectations. Casey needs to stay on UA-cam's good side. Why would you go spit in the eye of someone who controls your entire business.
What would a hard interview get him? Nothing. The dudes still gonna make bank and still going to give the same answers or say something like "I'm sorry I can't answer that". lol, wouldn't make a difference.
Casey, you had really great questions! It's too bad Robert danced around certain topics, especially the demonetization and yellow icon issues, but hopefully 2018 does include more transparency from UA-cam and the platform can rise up! Thanks for the awesome interview
Yes. AND he should have asked about the technical issues from NOV27 (mean the technical issues with falsely shadow-banning so many creators and then claiming "great success" in a press release so advertisers come back :) --- SO MUCH COLATERAL DAMAGE and still no fix! THATS really the biggest issue right now. I know you have this problem too TPMVids!
We literally learned nothing from this interview. 18 minutes of him beating around the bush. No solutions. No help. Just "We're working on it" This is the response I get from creator support every time there's an issue with my channel.
Hahahah Same here Mastar :p Not satiesfied with this interview i am also an indian creator like you here in india the adds revenue is too less we get 2 to 3$ on 40 to 50k views .,
I think this was a great start. It's impossible to cover all those topics in depth in a 20 minute interview, so naturally a lot was left on the table. I don't think this means Casey was letting him off easy, I think he just wanted to cover as much as possible. (The yellow icon/demonetization discussion alone could go on for another hour!) I'm happy that someone at YT was willing to sit down with Casey and go unscripted to some tough questions. But, I would love to see more--a monthly interview would be great!
no question is hard if you are not follow thru if you get a doggy PR reply. And why not simply make it longer? felt sooo weak. CN could have done this so much better.
Fam, when you get this kind of opportunity, out of respect for your viewers and all the other content creators you MUST ask the controversial questions, and keep him pinned.
October 8, 2021 Fantastic interview Casey - I have been home ill for two weeks (unheard of for me) - and - I have filled my bed bound days with watching years of your content, growth & stories --- it's been quite a journey! I think I'll sign-off for awhile when I finish your interview of Mr. Robert Kyncl (CBO of UA-cam) you have so masterfully made happen; congratulations to you Mr. Casey Neistat! Well done indeed -
Johnny Peters I like the idea of this but would be curious on how to scale it. The obvious thing would be something like videos over 1 million subs, particularly ones with young demographics, get reviewed immediately by a board or committee, but I feel like that would become very hard to scale as UA-cam continues to grow. Also that leaves all of us who are under 1 million (or whatever number they would potentially decide on) left in about the same position we are now. I definitely like your idea a lot, just thoughts to build on it
blabla62871 I think everyone is. But I think this and the couple of actions they have taken in the last few days regarding Logan Paul have at the very least, been in a positive direction. Hoping they keep with this trend of clear communication as well
This was wonderful - thanks for taking the risk to reach out to them, and big ups to YT for accepting the challenge and showing up and turning up. You give me hope for the platform.
That's what happens when someone gets easy questions and isn't pressed for more information when they give a bullshit soundbite answer. This interview was trash.
Thanks for this Casey! Would love to see this is a more regular sort of thing. I feel like there is still so much more we’d like to hear answered (especially more specifics)... you’re the man
I dont see any spam from him. Try refreshing your page and check again. He's not really the kind of guy who would spam stuff(at least going off of the content he makes).
Jeff Nippard UA-cam should start promoting channels like yours and many other fitness youtubers. I think that it's an amazing community that is very underrated.
So this was a great start, but at the end of the day Casey isn't an interviewer. I have great respect for Casey as an artist, but this isn't exactly his strong suit. I would have preferred if Philip Defranco had been doing the interviewing, but I don't think that'll ever happen, because UA-cam know that he isn't going to let up until he gets the truth, and that he won't be satisfied with an angled PR response.
Casey, I really enjoyed this video. I appreciate you highlighting other creators and I appreciate you reaching out to UA-cam to have them in your studio to talk through their approach and how they see things through their vantage point. You’re a great role model and a source of inspiration. Thank you for all that you do and for sharing it with us.
Great questions and approach Casey. Respect to CBO Robert Kyncl for doing the interview. I felt Robert didn't answer the questions properly. He works for YT and wants to keep his job. We get it. Casey revealed something big here. Theses executive and managers have never tried being YT Content Creators. They don't use their own product. It's like a salesperson who just wants their commission. "Buy my product its awesome. Our brand is the best"... But they don't know how to use it, or whether it even works. In turn, they don't understand the customer feedback or complaints. Robert said it was very disheartening the communication is not getting through. Then try a different approach. Pivot a little and find something that works. Mr Kyncl with respect sir, try supporting your own product. Make some short videos for fun. An "About me" short bio, or a hobby you enjoy. Upload them, watch them, reply comments, etc. Make one with third party music to see what a copyright strike is like. Try the experience for yourself. Have a good day guys ;)
The first question Casey asked him - "have you ever made a UA-cam video", and he said "no". That is exactly what you're talking about. He has never used the product that he manages. Crazy.
Agree completely! In my opinion, if you want or do manage something about a product or service, then you at least need to know what goes into a day for the people that use the product or service! You need to know how much work people put in, to understand both sides of the argument.
Wow...extremely underwhelming interview. Robert hardly answered any question and Casey never called him out and insisted on a direct answer. Chance wasted.
Mad respect to Casey and big thanks to Robert for doing this but I have to be honest. This wasn't at all what I expected. I don't feel like we have any more answers that we did before the interview. This is all stuff we have already heard. On top of that, he talks like the yellow demonetization icon isn't a problem anymore and their bot is working. Trust me. It is not. I get videos all the time that get flagged and have nothing but harmless words in them. So for him to set there and talk like things are fixed and OK shows how totally out of touch he is with what is actually going on or its a PR move to try and make it look like everything is OK when he knows it is not. Once again I appreciate the effort but I was really expecting a more in-depth interview. I would really like to see Robert do an interview with Philip DeFranco.
Nothing was answered in this video .. its total bullshit.. Casey knows where his money comes from and now that CNN dropped him UA-cam is his income.. He never intended to hold UA-cam Accountable.
YT works pretty simple... you have a big audience, you will be rewarded! I don't understand what people think this is? The first reason to create content should be passion about something! All I hear is complains about monitization... YT is no welfare... there are millions of small creators out there and all are complaining about money... this is not how entertainment works! In my opinion they should raise the bar much higher in order to be allowed monetization, that way there'd be more quality on YT and less effortless attempts to get money out of it!
I have to say that this was extremely informative and I appreciate the fact that it even happened. That said, Casey I've only seen about 5 of your videos, I'm not subscribed to your channel and the only reason I ended up here is because a few weeks ago I watched a video of yours on the DJI Spark... As a media person, I love the back story that you pulled out of the interview at the end of the video!
Solomon Kofi Otu Thompson Casey went to many proper interviewers for questions to ask, he just did the interview. This was stated in his other video about this interview and he stated on Twitter that he collaborated with Phil.
CPM in most of the Europe countries will always stay low ( im from Croatia ), i have total of 11,000,000 views ( 95% monetized ) and i made 450$ ... No way to do youtube full time in poor countries... Can UA-cam do anything about that ?
Thank You Casey and Paul for sharing this chat with the entire UA-cam community! Casey you did a great job representing and voicing the concerns of the creators! Being a female creator who has educational content on sustainability, mindfulness and green cosmetics what do I need to do to get that much needed extra push Robert mentions on this interview? Thanks!
This was really amazing BUT I don't feel like he delved in quite deep enough into what direction UA-cam as a company is trying to get their content to go in. I do think that UA-cam's top executives having sit down interviews like this on the platform is a GIANT step in the right direction. I would like to see more of this when big issues arise so we could get responses much faster along with what they are trying to do to fix them. This would allow the creators to provide input so we can be part of the solution as well.
Agree - I think this was an excellent start but I was definitely still left with question marks in a lot of categories. Hoping they'll do more of this soon.
thats too much too soon. we need to have a comfortable relationship with the top guys at youtube before diving deep otherwise they would immediately shut us out. but like you said this is definitely the step in the right direction.
Jaret - I worked in advertising/publishing for over 30 years. UA-cam makes money by running advertising. You make money by having advertisers on your videos. My advice is, whenever you make a video, pretend you are an advertiser and think, would I want my ad to run on this video? Now remember, the big advertisers are very sensitive to inflammatory content and don't want their ads to be be anywhere near it. Keep that in mind, and go and make good content. Good luck!
So you are saying Advertisers were ok to put ads on Logan Paul even before the whole suicide incident? Becuase his content was crap, is crap and will be crap. The advertiser wants exposure, they don't really give a hoot about content unless it gets a negative attention. Advertiser cares about how big of an exposure they have they don't worry about content or content creators till it's on national news with major backlash.
absolutely, how can you have all the decision makers that effect our lives as creators not have any personal relationship or conversation with grass roots creators. It doesn't mater, whether you have 100 subs or 100,000 subs. Good creators need a voice, recognition and to be supported. We all start at Zero ultimately.
I wish Phil Defranco did this interview. I like Casey but he really did not ask all the right questions. I wish he focused on the more burning questions, getting down to the bottom of business. Phil would've been harsher and straight forward and to the point, ultimately getting more answers to the most important issues.
Deta Kona Who knows?? Its up to them, personally I think they would because he's a huge news source on youtube and a great interviewer. They might be scared of him breaking their bullshit barrier though.
youtube should have a youtube channel. now hear me out. what if youtube hired some people to run effectively a news show where they talk about what they are doing to advance the platform and fix relationships between advertisers - youtube - creators and viewers. they could put the videos they make on a special page on youtube for everyone to see. say they do daily or weekly uploads to let us know what’s going on. they need a platform to talk to us like this, and ironically they are also the biggest streaming service on the internet, why don’t they utilize this to talk to the community. this is what i think at least.
They don't need to hire anyone. Big news channels would love to talk about this and ones they find out about it they do it already... But they can only broadcast what UA-cam tells us which isn't a whole lot.
Thank you for the interview Casey. Here are the take home messages from the interview: 1) be a female youtuber (it is helpful) 2) they wont tell us what is appropriate, inappropriate to post for youtube videos. 3) if you are a small youtuber like me who make original parodies, they would probably ignore you because YOU CANT EVEN EMAIL THEM AND ASK ABOUT A SIMPLE QUESTION when they recently announced that they will hire 10,000 human labour to manually review channels
Robert, give an in-person interview to Philip DeFranco. I know Casey said he wasn't throwing softballs, and that's true, but Casey also didn't press the issues even slightly. Phil would do it right.
clear mist Exactly. There isn’t a point in interviewing someone if you can’t get straightforward answers. Roberts answers do not have any substance behind them, but then again, Casey’s questions weren’t the best either.
yup he kind of danced around most of everything. Even the last question he said, freedom of speech, opportunity, access, freedom to belong. While he did name them a bit more different from standard he just gave some obvious ideas as an answer to: What's next. The guy should have answered with specific new features to be coming in fallowing few months or years. Similar stuff happened with every other question.
I don't know if my comment will be seen but here goes, I was waiting to watch this video and had high hopes, but really although this youtube executive seems like a good person, he's the embodiment of lack of communication from youtube. His answers were vague, and most of the time it was nothing but tip-toeing around the actual question. He speaks a lot but he really isn't saying anything at all, and every time he answers a question it leaves me even more confused than before, exactly like youtube's overall communication. I love this platform i really do, although I'm a tiny tiny youtuber, but I see where this platform is going and I know that a lot of big time youtubers realize that youtube is going to go downhill soon. Everything rises and falls, and youtube has been rising for for so long. There's increasing guidelines, increasing lack of communication, increasing rules, regulations, and censorship. UA-cam is the biggest platform for media of all time however, as it increases in size, it increases in censorship and restrictions, the platform is prioritizing its advertisers, giving them information, providing them routes, and siding with them, while creators, the core of this platform, are being kept in the dark. This platform is dying slowly, and as of now there is no competition. So really, makng internet videos itself, is slowly dying.
Problem is: there's no solid alternatives to youtube. Every market needs competition otherwise the customers will suffer. If a single company rules all the market, it will enforce watever policicy it wants, to it's customers and they won't be able to do anything because there's no alternatives. Thus, UA-cam needs competition or it will continue it's stalinist regime.
Maybe because UA-cam is huge, and therefore the problems that are associated with it are big as well. Thus 20 mins are not gonna cover everything or solve everything. I would say as an informational video it is helpful overall.
if you were expecting solutions to be had in this video you likely had your expectations set too high, what we can expect from this is to have a more "personal" talk with someone with power at youtube instead of it just being a faceless comment, it gives a different meaning to what is being said even if the words are the exact same, this will help moving forward just not instantly. the comment section of this video is likely being watched with more attention than normal as well so as long as talks here don't devolve into a slugfest issues being debated here may have a stronger influence in the future.
This interview didn’t answer anything...it just created more troubling questions. 😕 How can you be in charge for all the UA-cam content creators...and have never had your own channel? How can you empathize and help at all if you don’t listen to the creators...? He danced around all the questions without really answering them...Honestly, all I got from this interview was a headache...
*Did anyone else feel kinda..unsatisfied with the interview? Not that it was really Casey's fault or **_anyones_** we suppose but we felt like it was just things we've already heard before.*
i think if they were going to get into every topic in depth they would have run out time, Casey , in my perspective, was trying to cover as much a possible. Also these questions were tough and maybe difficult for rob to speak about because there are a lot of logistics and complexities involved that need to be addressed properly and cant be done in mere sentences. (especially when its unscripted)
A lot can be said in the micro gestures, and I wasn't a fan about how much he (guy from UA-cam not Casey) smirked talking about smaller UA-cam channels, and how he wanted them to succeed.... almost as if he wasn't being completely honest.... There were other examples also, but something didn't sit right
Thank you guys for sharing this. As a new creator, it has been tough to figure out UA-cam as a whole. It can even be intimidating and difficult when it comes to creating relevant, but honest content. This was very insightful, as far as seeing what UA-cam is all about and hearing what they stand for as a platform. This is so great! Thank you for sharing.
Interesting video. Thanks for taking the initiative on this Casey. I made a video about the changes yesterday and my position on them. Overall I think it's great that UA-cam are encouraging content creators that make quality content that actually helps people and makes a difference. This will have a flow on effect and result in advertisers taking UA-cam more seriously, which means high quality content creators will get more share of the income they deserve. UA-cam should never be a platform for "easy money" because that devalues the platform. I agree with the sentiments expressed below regarding the Yellow Monetization icon. I agree with the concept, but like others, every single one of my videos is demonetized when it's first uploaded, and takes a few days to come back. For me as a relatively small channel producing content designed to help people, this is a hard pill to swallow. The bottom line is Google is earning huge amounts of money through the content we create, and they need to do a better job of reviewing videos from their verified partners. We should not be treated as guilty until proven innocent.
he just danced around a lot of these questions. Wish you would've asked him to further elaborate on some topics where he just used blanket statements, but I know interviewing someone can be hard, and at some points, uncomfortable.
Matt Mamba Yeah, he said he’s not really used to interviewing people and didn’t even know what the best questions to ask were. IMO, I feel Casey did the best he could for such an important opportunity this interview was
He mostly skittered around these questions in a way that was flawless and unnoticeable without giving any *real* concrete answers. Most people will buy it, but I won’t. We still have no *real* understanding of what’s really going on and where their mindset is going. If that’s how they are going to be, fine. But as for the rest of us, we will continue to be on a look out for a better user friendly platform that will give good hard working content creators a real chance.
I have been using this example, " That was really, really hard.....trying to stabilize an eco-system that is, ya know, moving around." Huh ? Really ? Nice guy, but maybe not the most relatable personality. IMO, in this circumstance, people prefer a direct, break-down-the-basics approach. Answers like those are a) unclear and ambiguous b) presumes the listener has a detailed and historical knowledge of the top, and c) just sounds too much like a politician's answer. Why was it "hard" for you and what do ya mean by ECO-SYSTEM? Maybe follow-up questions could have made a difference ?
Thank god other people are noticing, he basically did this; He starts getting off topic but keeps it similar to what was asked (If he could empathize with how a UA-camr's work into his own work experience), and answers the question on the topic he switched it to. In this case, he answered the question "How can you relate your past work to the work of content creators on UA-cam". Much easier question to answer than how he could relate to the effect that the videos he's demonetizing have on the people who rely on them for income.
Most of my questions weren’t answered in this interview. Casey did a great job trying to ask questions, but he moved on too quickly. When I interview people and I don’t get a clear answer, I ask the question again. You have to be somewhat aggressive sometimes to get the answers you need. Also, why the book plug?
*LET Philip DeFranco DO A REAL INTERVIEW!* This is a really bad interview! He didn't say anything new. Didn't specify any measures that are taking place in the future to solve the problems mentioned. The "we need more women creators" argument is just pandering. He dodged every single question that mentioned anything we actually want to know about! And to top it all off this ended up being a promotional video for his book!
It would be great for him to set up a channel and let people ask questions and the question with most upvotes is adressed in a video once a week or month. It would allow the community and the company to keep in touch and both sides could get a better understanding of each others perspective! Just an idea...
He didn't actually answer your questions. He gave nice little soundbites and platitudes, but didn't give any concrete responses. I felt like it was a bunch of fluff. I would have liked to hear something like, "this is the method by which we are going to open up lines of communication between you, the creators, and us, the corporation. Additionally, this is the way that *other* people in the community can reach out to UA-cam". UA-cam's biggest downfall is their lack of communication. I understand that they have shut that down because opening those floodgates is effectively asking for a logistical nightmare, but it needs to be addressed at some point. You can't have a bunch of 'employees' who cannot talk to their 'bosses'. These people are pretty brilliant... surely they can come up with some type of system that makes the community feel heard.
THIS is the response I would have written, but you wrote it before me, so upvote to you. Full of corporate BS that Execs push because they want you to be on their side, but don't want to show that UA-cam has flaws.
UA-cam needs a discovery page for new creators.They have some random discovery video they post once every month of some new content creator, but the requirement is that you post often. Some of us content creators spend a ridiculous time making videos and can realistically only push 1-2 videos a month. Not sure why the algorithm opposes quality over quantity. I personally spend 100+hours making 1 video, and with school and my job that makes it nearly impossible to push content out quickly.
Casey is a little league softball pitcher with these questions! He needs to throw some heat. I would say this was a wasted opportunity but he truly opened up the doors for more creators and more communication in general between UA-cam and the creators. I have a feeling 2018 will be a great year for UA-cam.
Erick Khan Casey probably didn't want to push too much because in a way, Kyncl is sort of Casey's boss. I know the content creators are the back bone of UA-cam and there would be no UA-cam without them. BUT pushing too much and pissing this guy off could've been too much of a risk.
I dont think he needs to push him when he is not dodging to answer any questions. It was a nice and respectful interview not some mudfight which youtube has seemed like lately - i really enjoyed it!
@Rasmus Raarup THIS^^^ Thank you. It's possible to have a informative and interesting interview without going for the f*cking throat. The whole world would be better off if there was more civilized discussion such as this. People often forget that UA-cam is a business, and business is imperfect. As much as they would love to be a social justice warrior, they still have to make money, and that means balancing the NEED to make money and the DESIRE to do the right thing. That doesn't mean that every business in the world can be unethical, money grubbing a**holes in the name of making a buck, but the consistent obliviousness to the complexities of running a business of this size is maddening. It drives me crazy when people want all these services on the web, but then completely ignore the fact that they require ENORMOUS amounts of capital to remain intact. You want a platform that allows you to make money with little to no financial investment? Be ready to make some compromise.
Casey: This is Robert, he's the guy that runs everything on UA-cam. Robert: Hey Guys. Casey: Is this your first time ever making a UA-cam video? Robert: Yes. LMAO.. GG guys.
Nice job getting the conversation started, though this interview left a lot of unanswered and half answered questions. Still, dealing with UA-cam for most non-Casey folk, is basically like shouting into the woods...so getting any type of real responses from one of the powers that be, instead of just a useless form letter reply, is a significant step forward. 💪🏼💯
Well put. Not a lot got answered but the doors are now open. Hopefully he offers time to Phillip Defranco and some others to follow up on questions we still want answers to.
Point of Parallax naw. We good off of Sxephil. I was an og fan. Back when he made his videos in black&white. But I Iost respect for him when he denounced how white people use POC's as stage props. Which a lot of them do. He showed his true colors.
Film Reviewer 101 This video is meant for people who genuinely want answers from a person at the very top of UA-cam. It's not a traditional video meant for views.
Poor interview. Casey asks question. Rob answers question. Casey asks different question; meaning he just accepts the previous answer, no challenge, no clarifications. It was all too scripted and Controlled.
Interviewing is a skill you have to acquire, try it by yourself, you won't be able to get any meaningful statement from a politician if you do not know how to (except you are the one in 10.000). You have to be a journalist to ask the right questions at the right point in time while phrasing it in the right manner, yeaht that is pretty you are right.
Whos x Cruzin Casey is an incredibly intelligent and driven guy he missed an opportunity to ask real (obvious) questions and he's missed an opportunity about our content creators we're crying out for.
Carlitoburgante I do nit deny his intelligence nor that he missed an opportunity, I am just stating if you lack the technique you have a hard time against a pro.
RowlWool exactly. Casey had great questions, he did his research and collaborated with people who helped him create this questions. But, he didn't do a good job at getting real and concrete answers.
he went in too soft and probably cut a lot of the answers during editing because it was just corporate speech pandering to shareholders. I appreciate the willingness to go there as a first step. Hopefully the feedback they receive from this is positive and they do this every month and start opening more and sharing more. I've seen lots of hour long interviews with susan and a there a lots of words used but not much information being said.
Loved this interview! If there was a follow up, we’d love to hear thoughts on small creators like us having ads on our videos but not be able to receive revenue since we’re under the 1000 subscriber mark. Thanks for this Casey!
Wow, after watching this video I have so much more respected understanding for UA-cam now. I hope the senior leadership continues to do more interviews in the future.
MrMattsMedia : of course it was lame. He was just putting Logan’s name in it for views. And this Robert guy is so dumb to lower down and sit down with this idiot lmao
Rey Sawan obviously ask why they do not share their control of UA-cam with all creators...if everyone on youtube has access to controls of UA-cam and monetizing money , everybody is happy and UA-cam works for everybody
Ok, but there's still no answer to the fundamental flaw in the current demonetization system: if videos are consistently demonetized and then remonetized after review, it means those creators are *not* violating the community guidelines. So, YT's response to "how can I avoid demonetization" being "check the guidelines" is completely unhelpful because those creators are already meeting the guidelines. There needs to be a way to address this flaw.
This was addressed just a few days ago. Any videos that are demonetized because they violate the guidelines (which are now reviewed by human beings) will most likely be demonetized permanently, with the channel possibly losing their ability to monetize entirely, along with UA-cam silencing the channel entirely by removing them from the Recommendations section. In other words, no more partnership, no more sponsors, no more having their content pushed to the top of the page. This all happened about... two or three days ago.
Videos should be reviewed automatically before they are monetized so creators don’t have to ask for the monetization back, and they should also be reimbursed for lost money prior to monetization on each video.
My point is that my videos are consistently flagged and demonetized by the algorithm. When I ask for a human to review it, they are *always* re-monetized. In other words, the human reviewer concluded that my videos *do* meet community guidelines and that the *algorithm was wrong* to demonetize my videos. Despite this, I'm stuck in a continual loop of upload-demonize-review-remonetize and there's no way for me to address the problem because there is no tool available to assess the cause of demonetization. When I contact YT, I only receive canned answers about checking the guidelines, but again, YT employees have determined that my content meets those guidelines already. It's like failing a multiple choice test because I used a pencil instead of a pen, when everyone expects the good ol' No. 2 pencil to be the appropriate writing utensil.
My suggestion to UA-cam would be to remove the algorithm entirely, or to have someone else come in and refine it instead of having the algorithm try to learn by itself. When you leave a a program to learn what it needs to do, it behaves like a child. Mistakes will be made for a very long time, and for us as creators, it costs us more than it helps us. The problem here, is that it hurts UA-cam as well because the algorithm stops its own developers from getting paid. UA-cam is effectively shooting themselves in the foot with a machine gun here. This new system is going to be in full swing in about 8 days. Until then, we won't know much. However, I think it's a good idea to use this very platform to bring up the issue. I'd also have to see your content to get a little more insight on why this is happening. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a UA-cam employee. However, I do like seeing what's going on in the business world. Mike's suggestion is something that's a little off and cannot be done, nor will it ever be done for the simple reason that UA-cam is under no legal obligation to reimburse you for lost wages because of the fact that you do not work for UA-cam. UA-cam is a platform that allows you to earn money in a virtual space.
biocybernaut Casey doesn’t make most of his income off UA-cam so your right. If I was in his situation I wouldn’t ask and crazy situation because I would be scared they would decrease my income.
It feels like he dodged every single question about monetization, small creators, and the problems that the Logan Paul fiasco bring up. As a small channel, it's pretty disheartening to see upper management really just not care as much as they should about the community. I guess the landscape of UA-cam is just changing to more of a corporate one rather than one for creators.
You said it, seems very robotic/programmed responses. Essentially at the end of the day, it would be tough for him because how can he ask his "boss" the tough questions that could get him buried? But I definitely understand your point!
YT says to upload a video set to private to see if its unsuitable for advertising before you make it public - DOESN’T WORK!!! We make recipe videos - very innocuous, safe, well within community guidelines, recipe videos. Every one of our videos gets hit with the ‘Yellow’ demonitised / not suitable for all advertisers, sometime in the 24-36 hours after it goes live. We request a review and YT always sets it back to full monitisation after another 24-36 hours. So we tested setting the videos to Unlisted / private first, before releasing them live… 24 hours unlisted / private, then 48 hours unlisted / private, then 96 hours unlisted / private, then a week unlisted / private. Always the same outcome. YT hits the video with the ‘Yellow’ demonitised / not suitable for all advertisers, sometime in the 24-36 hours after it goes live. We request a review and YT always set it back to full monitisation after another 24-36 hours. Because we are fully within community guidelines. Makes me think they don’t really know how their algorithm works…
Sorting out the rules of UA-cam is still in its infancy as it is changing the media playing field. This generation are setting the rules with their success and sometimes this will cause a problem that needs to be overcome, but I think the attitude to solving these problems is perfectly encapsulated in Robert. If you are interested I'd highly recommend his book, it's brilliant, and that interview was boss. Nice one.
UA-cam needs to regain control of their algorithm again to be honest. Turn away from ONLY caring about optimizing watch time and let viewers discover and creators be seen again. Also negative videos attacking others with misinformation are all to common and too protected on the platform
Verlisify The power of free information includes those who give out misinformation. That’s just the way it works. Problem is you cannot know who is giving misinformation ahead of time in order to restrict their videos.
If you have less than 4000/1000, basically UA-cam is telling you to go somewhere else. My channel only has about 250 subscribers, but I am pretty far over the 4000 hrs/year. There doesn't seem to be any reason to pick those values. Neither would have stopped the Logan Paul issue, and just today, Logan Paul's channel was back on the front page of UA-cam.
I got confused on this. He suggested to not publish videos until they get reviewed. But the video will not get reviewed until there are 1000 views within 7 days. How does that work?
To get an early read on whether your content is likely to receive a yellow icon, you can upload a video as unlisted or private and check the monetization status before making the video public. UA-cam typically does an initial classification of the video within 2 hours after upload. If you make adjustments to the title, description, or thumbnail, the system will take another look at the video within 24 hours (without having to request a manual review).
penatur I've tried tweaking my uploads that way but I haven't had any success. It's kind boggling as to why it happens on every video and has now for months.
Thank-you for doing the interview. Despite it's current problems, UA-cam is still an amazing platform that provides opportunity for almost anyone to turn doing what they love into a potential career. Your efforts are appreciated, although sometimes the policies do seem a bit skewed against smaller channels trying to grow.
👍🏾🙌🏽✌🏼 *An example of a creator worth watching, looking up to and supporting. The content may not be sensational al, but it is important to learn for anyone who is a part of this community. Thank you Robert, thank you Casey.*
No matter how and what I feel about all this, thank you so much. I started watching your vlog D. 1st March and now missing 8 Vlog`s, then I've seen them all.
I have mad respect for Robert willing to do this video, no other social platform would even think of doing this. And thank you Casey for giving him the platform to give him a voice that's heard.
Brandon Salt More than a year too late if you ask me. UA-cam cares about advertisers and their money, not about creators.
UPDATE: 'Matty Love 2' EXPOSES UA-cam letter proving they knew Logan FAKED the SUICIDE in Japan and SKYDIVE VLOG!!
True, but UA-cam is still young and has much to learn.
Well they didn’t think of doing this, Casey did.
It was conv for him casey is in ny the main yt building is in ny
Okay, let's be real. I really looked forward to this video, I expected to get some answers after months of no or very little communication from UA-cam about demonetization, ads, algorithms, the secret codes etc. All I got from this interview is the same vague, indirect statements that we've been getting over the last few months. There was nothing, absolutely nothing new or enriching in these 19 minutes.
As a creator that tries to make a living out of, let's say, slightly edgy, not politically correct content, I am extremely disappointed. Every single video I uploaded in 2017 got demonetized, no suggested views, no recommendation boxes. I truly don't believe UA-cam cares about creators as much as they care about advertisers. After all, it's advertisers who have been bringing money to them, so why care so much about creators? Let's adapt to the PC rules and policies of the biggest companies in the world!
Only mentioning the freedom of speech in this video is such a hypocrisy. I also can't believe Robert was born in the same country as me. We're very direct and honest here, unlike him in this interview.
Shit, I'm gonna have some beers.

How are hard is it to make have your own website and pay for GOOD SEO?
You cut these guys off... you get 100% of the creativity margin. :)
Exactly what I expected was going to happen
Just scanning the thumbnails of your videos and their titles I think you deserve it
Good to see educational content being mentioned again. Often feels we are shoved into a corner with no real backing from UA-cam. EDU people could make some incredible UA-cam Red content, if given the opportunity.
Real Engineering the only youtube red series I have ever been interested in is Mind Field by Michael Stevens. It’s not like educational content hasn’t been given any opportunities when it comes to Red.
Real Engineering I definitely read this in your voice. Love your videos!
Honestly I think engineering education has been neglected by atleast western society as a whole, and UA-cam is just the voice of that society, personally I would love to see more engineering shows on UA-cam red as it is literally the building blocks of our society
Real Engineering agreed! As an online teacher, I use UA-cam as a tool for my students. UA-cam has been an invaluable resource and learning tool for everyone. I would definitely subscribe to Red if there are educational shows.👍
As a family that doesn't have cable anymore, UA-cam is out main source of video content. I would love to see more fun, educational content driven towards children. And if it exists I would love to see UA-cam back it more.
Maybe something like Algebraix could be the solution to the ad issues on UA-cam.
Can you elaborate more on how algebraic equations can fix advertisement issues on UA-cam
I've actually been looking into this lately with the data breach from Facebook.
Any links to this?
Algebraix's business model is eliminating the middle man. Google's the middle man, and runs their own advertising network. Part of that revenue goes to keeping UA-cam online.
Why would Google host UA-cam for free?
I get what you're saying. The concept of Algebraix is still pretty impressive though.
A new step towards transparency. Thank you Casey 🙏
Thank you for creating the best content on youtube :)
UPDATE: 'Matty Love 2' EXPOSES UA-cam letter proving they knew Logan FAKED the SUICIDE in Japan and SKYDIVE VLOG!!
Yes Theory ❤️
Absolutely! Good way to put it.
So when is the update on Matt's blind date coming. Did he get some
So excited to finally see this. Huge props to everyone involved here for setting this up.
hey gus, love u
Gus Johnson playboy.
Gusss
Gus Johnson I think he should do this again, maybe regularly. It’s way better to make appearances on creator’s channels than to make their own channel like that CEO did. I’m not sure if he should just be on Casey’s channel, maybe switch it up a little.

Nice try Casey, but we knew this would be a soft interview. Id like to see Phillip DeFranco interview someone like him
Pinnacle Of Man TM casey are weak tho. The ceo of youtube are a coperate people has more power then him
Pinnacle Of Man TM mate don't bite the hand that feeds u that's all I'm sayin
I agree it was weak, but also, I think people had unrealistic expectations. Casey needs to stay on UA-cam's good side. Why would you go spit in the eye of someone who controls your entire business.
I hope Phil gets to interview him. He's a far better interviewer choice for this sort of thing anyway.
What would a hard interview get him? Nothing. The dudes still gonna make bank and still going to give the same answers or say something like "I'm sorry I can't answer that". lol, wouldn't make a difference.
Casey, you had really great questions! It's too bad Robert danced around certain topics, especially the demonetization and yellow icon issues, but hopefully 2018 does include more transparency from UA-cam and the platform can rise up! Thanks for the awesome interview
LATEST: Logan ADMITS Japanese SUICIDE vlog was FAKED!! 'Matty Love 2' has full VIDEO REPORT!
Yes. AND he should have asked about the technical issues from NOV27 (mean the technical issues with falsely shadow-banning so many creators and then claiming "great success" in a press release so advertisers come back :) --- SO MUCH COLATERAL DAMAGE and still no fix! THATS really the biggest issue right now. I know you have this problem too TPMVids!
TPMvids I like Casey's videos but his new hair style looks so funny and it dosent suit him at all
Jesus Nieves What does that have to do with this whole interview?
Dylan Fales lol i was just saying
We literally learned nothing from this interview. 18 minutes of him beating around the bush. No solutions. No help. Just "We're working on it" This is the response I get from creator support every time there's an issue with my channel.
Hahahah Same here Mastar :p Not satiesfied with this interview i am also an indian creator like you here in india the adds revenue is too less we get 2 to 3$ on 40 to 50k views .,
Yup... My thoughts exactly
exactly...
what do you expect. casey was interviewing him. someone whos not experienced in this stuff.
idk what you expected honestly lol
I think this was a great start. It's impossible to cover all those topics in depth in a 20 minute interview, so naturally a lot was left on the table. I don't think this means Casey was letting him off easy, I think he just wanted to cover as much as possible. (The yellow icon/demonetization discussion alone could go on for another hour!) I'm happy that someone at YT was willing to sit down with Casey and go unscripted to some tough questions. But, I would love to see more--a monthly interview would be great!
LATEST: Logan ADMITS Japanese SUICIDE vlog was FAKED!! 'Matty Love 2' has full VIDEO REPORT!
What I want to know is if Casey left "The Godfather" to play on the background monitor.
no question is hard if you are not follow thru if you get a doggy PR reply. And why not simply make it longer? felt sooo weak. CN could have done this so much better.
I think that's a great idea! Especially on UA-cam's end to re-build a relationship with UA-camrs that could be even stronger than it was before.
Fam, when you get this kind of opportunity, out of respect for your viewers and all the other content creators you MUST ask the controversial questions, and keep him pinned.
October 8, 2021
Fantastic interview Casey - I have been home ill for two weeks (unheard of for me) - and - I have filled my bed bound days with watching years of your content, growth & stories --- it's been quite a journey! I think I'll sign-off for awhile when I finish your interview of Mr. Robert Kyncl (CBO of UA-cam) you have so masterfully made happen; congratulations to you Mr. Casey Neistat! Well done indeed -
Ok, this was all very vague though.
Crazy seeing you here!! hahah yeah thats what I thought too!
Sauce Stache Hey u! 😃 Big fan of Casey! But yes I would have liked more in depth answers.
It was all PR answers. So like, drawn out non-answers.
Emma's Goodies I love your food!
Emma's Goodies This video was literally a conversation with no substance... We gained nothing.
Seems like a genuinely good dude, thanks Robert for doing this and establishing a first very clear connection between UA-cam and us, the creators!
The Groovy Guitar Dude - Daily Guitar Lessons true
Any main channel should should viewed by a ethics board if this is what they are trying to avoid, before posting to a young demo especially.
blabla62871 Definitely wasn’t perfect, some was vague, generic answers, but it is a solid first step in my opinion
Johnny Peters I like the idea of this but would be curious on how to scale it. The obvious thing would be something like videos over 1 million subs, particularly ones with young demographics, get reviewed immediately by a board or committee, but I feel like that would become very hard to scale as UA-cam continues to grow. Also that leaves all of us who are under 1 million (or whatever number they would potentially decide on) left in about the same position we are now. I definitely like your idea a lot, just thoughts to build on it
blabla62871 I think everyone is. But I think this and the couple of actions they have taken in the last few days regarding Logan Paul have at the very least, been in a positive direction. Hoping they keep with this trend of clear communication as well
From: UA-cam community
To: Casey
"YOU THE REAL MVP 💯"
This was wonderful - thanks for taking the risk to reach out to them, and big ups to YT for accepting the challenge and showing up and turning up. You give me hope for the platform.
Casey: How will you address x problem?
Robert: We are working really hard to make policies that will fix x problem.
Every Time.
That's what happens when someone gets easy questions and isn't pressed for more information when they give a bullshit soundbite answer. This interview was trash.
The interview was scripted
And also start every question with: as a creator...
Thanks for this Casey! Would love to see this is a more regular sort of thing. I feel like there is still so much more we’d like to hear answered (especially more specifics)... you’re the man
I dont see any spam from him. Try refreshing your page and check again. He's not really the kind of guy who would spam stuff(at least going off of the content he makes).
Yay Jeff nippard in the house!!
Jeff Nippard UA-cam should start promoting channels like yours and many other fitness youtubers. I think that it's an amazing community that is very underrated.
Jeff Nippard ii
Akira Toriyama shut the fuck Up fucking idiot
So this was a great start, but at the end of the day Casey isn't an interviewer. I have great respect for Casey as an artist, but this isn't exactly his strong suit. I would have preferred if Philip Defranco had been doing the interviewing, but I don't think that'll ever happen, because UA-cam know that he isn't going to let up until he gets the truth, and that he won't be satisfied with an angled PR response.
Casey, I really enjoyed this video. I appreciate you highlighting other creators and I appreciate you reaching out to UA-cam to have them in your studio to talk through their approach and how they see things through their vantage point. You’re a great role model and a source of inspiration. Thank you for all that you do and for sharing it with us.
Great questions and approach Casey. Respect to CBO Robert Kyncl for doing the interview. I felt Robert didn't answer the questions properly. He works for YT and wants to keep his job. We get it. Casey revealed something big here. Theses executive and managers have never tried being YT Content Creators. They don't use their own product. It's like a salesperson who just wants their commission. "Buy my product its awesome. Our brand is the best"... But they don't know how to use it, or whether it even works. In turn, they don't understand the customer feedback or complaints. Robert said it was very disheartening the communication is not getting through. Then try a different approach. Pivot a little and find something that works. Mr Kyncl with respect sir, try supporting your own product. Make some short videos for fun. An "About me" short bio, or a hobby you enjoy. Upload them, watch them, reply comments, etc. Make one with third party music to see what a copyright strike is like. Try the experience for yourself. Have a good day guys ;)
Agree completely
The first question Casey asked him - "have you ever made a UA-cam video", and he said "no".
That is exactly what you're talking about. He has never used the product that he manages. Crazy.
Agree completely! In my opinion, if you want or do manage something about a product or service, then you at least need to know what goes into a day for the people that use the product or service! You need to know how much work people put in, to understand both sides of the argument.
Wow...extremely underwhelming interview. Robert hardly answered any question and Casey never called him out and insisted on a direct answer. Chance wasted.
Being Berni thedco not
Mad respect to Casey and big thanks to Robert for doing this but I have to be honest. This wasn't at all what I expected. I don't feel like we have any more answers that we did before the interview. This is all stuff we have already heard. On top of that, he talks like the yellow demonetization icon isn't a problem anymore and their bot is working. Trust me. It is not. I get videos all the time that get flagged and have nothing but harmless words in them. So for him to set there and talk like things are fixed and OK shows how totally out of touch he is with what is actually going on or its a PR move to try and make it look like everything is OK when he knows it is not. Once again I appreciate the effort but I was really expecting a more in-depth interview. I would really like to see Robert do an interview with Philip DeFranco.
Listen, if he acted the way you are telling him then Casey wouldn't be able to gave a good connection with him, now Robert is gonna think twice !
Nothing was answered in this video .. its total bullshit.. Casey knows where his money comes from and now that CNN dropped him UA-cam is his income.. He never intended to hold UA-cam Accountable.
FireSpark81 agree someone needs to help my boy Chris chann
YT works pretty simple... you have a big audience, you will be rewarded! I don't understand what people think this is? The first reason to create content should be passion about something! All I hear is complains about monitization... YT is no welfare... there are millions of small creators out there and all are complaining about money... this is not how entertainment works! In my opinion they should raise the bar much higher in order to be allowed monetization, that way there'd be more quality on YT and less effortless attempts to get money out of it!
Robert needs to be on JRE
I have to say that this was extremely informative and I appreciate the fact that it even happened. That said, Casey I've only seen about 5 of your videos, I'm not subscribed to your channel and the only reason I ended up here is because a few weeks ago I watched a video of yours on the DJI Spark...
As a media person, I love the back story that you pulled out of the interview at the end of the video!
I wish *Philip DeFranco* had this opportunity to interview _Robert_ as Casey has
Solomon Kofi Otu Thompson Casey went to many proper interviewers for questions to ask, he just did the interview. This was stated in his other video about this interview and he stated on Twitter that he collaborated with Phil.
Fuck Phillip
Solomon Kofi Otu Thompson I feel like he would rip a new one 😅
Solomon Kofi Otu Thompson he would of asked real questions 😂
Connor wasd yes I get that, and he did his very best but in my opinion, comparing Casey to Phillip, Phillip would have done a better job.
CPM in most of the Europe countries will always stay low ( im from Croatia ), i have total of 11,000,000 views ( 95% monetized ) and i made 450$ ... No way to do youtube full time in poor countries...
Can UA-cam do anything about that ?
Ko Bi Reko 11,401,835 views actually...
Ko Bi Reko Same Question. .
Ko Bi Reko yeah,change your target audience
Ko Bi Reko Holy, as someone who never uploaded to UA-cam, I did not know that.
Have you tried attracting sponsers? Companies will pay A LOT depending on your view count for you to endorse a product.
Seems like some normal Businessman talk, a lot of words but not a lot of information.
anyone agrees?
same feeling
yees
Just like a politician rly
I agree... We call this the art of bullshitting
Thank You Casey and Paul for sharing this chat with the entire UA-cam community! Casey you did a great job representing and voicing the concerns of the creators! Being a female creator who has educational content on sustainability, mindfulness and green cosmetics what do I need to do to get that much needed extra push Robert mentions on this interview? Thanks!
This was really amazing BUT I don't feel like he delved in quite deep enough into what direction UA-cam as a company is trying to get their content to go in. I do think that UA-cam's top executives having sit down interviews like this on the platform is a GIANT step in the right direction. I would like to see more of this when big issues arise so we could get responses much faster along with what they are trying to do to fix them. This would allow the creators to provide input so we can be part of the solution as well.
Agree - I think this was an excellent start but I was definitely still left with question marks in a lot of categories. Hoping they'll do more of this soon.
thats too much too soon. we need to have a comfortable relationship with the top guys at youtube before diving deep otherwise they would immediately shut us out. but like you said this is definitely the step in the right direction.
Jaret - I worked in advertising/publishing for over 30 years. UA-cam makes money by running advertising. You make money by having advertisers on your videos. My advice is, whenever you make a video, pretend you are an advertiser and think, would I want my ad to run on this video? Now remember, the big advertisers are very sensitive to inflammatory content and don't want their ads to be be anywhere near it. Keep that in mind, and go and make good content. Good luck!
So you are saying Advertisers were ok to put ads on Logan Paul even before the whole suicide incident? Becuase his content was crap, is crap and will be crap. The advertiser wants exposure, they don't really give a hoot about content unless it gets a negative attention. Advertiser cares about how big of an exposure they have they don't worry about content or content creators till it's on national news with major backlash.
absolutely, how can you have all the decision makers that effect our lives as creators not have any personal relationship or conversation with grass roots creators. It doesn't mater, whether you have 100 subs or 100,000 subs. Good creators need a voice, recognition and to be supported. We all start at Zero ultimately.
I wish Phil Defranco did this interview. I like Casey but he really did not ask all the right questions. I wish he focused on the more burning questions, getting down to the bottom of business. Phil would've been harsher and straight forward and to the point, ultimately getting more answers to the most important issues.
true
Didn’t Casey ask Phil for his opinion about this interview ?
would they have agreed to an interview with PhillyD though? They might have agreed to this video due to the very fact the questions seemed safe.
Deta Kona Who knows?? Its up to them, personally I think they would because he's a huge news source on youtube and a great interviewer. They might be scared of him breaking their bullshit barrier though.
Chad JOHNSON Exactly.
youtube should have a youtube channel. now hear me out. what if youtube hired some people to run effectively a news show where they talk about what they are doing to advance the platform and fix relationships between advertisers - youtube - creators and viewers. they could put the videos they make on a special page on youtube for everyone to see. say they do daily or weekly uploads to let us know what’s going on. they need a platform to talk to us like this, and ironically they are also the biggest streaming service on the internet, why don’t they utilize this to talk to the community.
this is what i think at least.
geo the conquer the community on Periscope asked for this for years with the Periscope team.
They don't need to hire anyone. Big news channels would love to talk about this and ones they find out about it they do it already... But they can only broadcast what UA-cam tells us which isn't a whole lot.
Thank you for the interview Casey. Here are the take home messages from the interview:
1) be a female youtuber (it is helpful)
2) they wont tell us what is appropriate, inappropriate to post for youtube videos.
3) if you are a small youtuber like me who make original parodies, they would probably ignore you because YOU CANT EVEN EMAIL THEM AND ASK ABOUT A SIMPLE QUESTION when they recently announced that they will hire 10,000 human labour to manually review channels
We need a new platform for new bloggers and creators like myself
Sharkes are Sexy exactly
Why do they need more females on the platform? Don't they want anybody who can make decent content...
Im sure girls can easily upload a video.
MingforPM h
Robert, give an in-person interview to Philip DeFranco. I know Casey said he wasn't throwing softballs, and that's true, but Casey also didn't press the issues even slightly. Phil would do it right.
trueeeee
So, it's not enough to just ask the question, you have to make sure you force them to talk about the issues in a thorough and detailed way?
clear mist Exactly. There isn’t a point in interviewing someone if you can’t get straightforward answers. Roberts answers do not have any substance behind them, but then again, Casey’s questions weren’t the best either.
yup he kind of danced around most of everything. Even the last question he said, freedom of speech, opportunity, access, freedom to belong. While he did name them a bit more different from standard he just gave some obvious ideas as an answer to: What's next.
The guy should have answered with specific new features to be coming in fallowing few months or years.
Similar stuff happened with every other question.
Great interview Casey! Unfortunately, Robert didn't give a real answer to any of your questions.
Lol, he just felt cool being recorded in Casey neistats vid
UPDATE: 'Matty Love 2' EXPOSES UA-cam letter proving they knew Logan FAKED the SUICIDE in Japan and SKYDIVE VLOG!!
IzzyGoneCrazy +1
Sam McKaey fuck off!!!
disagree. He gave both a Macro and personal answer. Thats all I wanted.
you had great questions, but his answers were like a live version of youtubes robotic responses.
CaliforniaLuv84 it may be the intelligence lvl
I assume he had the list of questions before the interview.
True
Dennis Knight he didn’t
"We dont want to make rash decisions that affect people's income."
Uhm.
Tleps Sdrawkcab yeah, that was very hilarious.
lmao
I wish Phily D would have been there as well.
nah
Philly Dick
Phily D helped him prepare for the interview i'm pretty sure
Nah, he prob would ve wanted money for being here.
Tom Johnson how the fuck do you know punk
I don't know if my comment will be seen but here goes, I was waiting to watch this video and had high hopes, but really although this youtube executive seems like a good person, he's the embodiment of lack of communication from youtube.
His answers were vague, and most of the time it was nothing but tip-toeing around the actual question. He speaks a lot but he really isn't saying anything at all, and every time he answers a question it leaves me even more confused than before, exactly like youtube's overall communication.
I love this platform i really do, although I'm a tiny tiny youtuber, but I see where this platform is going and I know that a lot of big time youtubers realize that youtube is going to go downhill soon. Everything rises and falls, and youtube has been rising for for so long.
There's increasing guidelines, increasing lack of communication, increasing rules, regulations, and censorship.
UA-cam is the biggest platform for media of all time however, as it increases in size, it increases in censorship and restrictions, the platform is prioritizing its advertisers, giving them information, providing them routes, and siding with them, while creators, the core of this platform, are being kept in the dark.
This platform is dying slowly, and as of now there is no competition. So really, makng internet videos itself, is slowly dying.
The Andy Tran Episodes might be in America mate. It's killing in other countries.
Problem is: there's no solid alternatives to youtube. Every market needs competition otherwise the customers will suffer. If a single company rules all the market, it will enforce watever policicy it wants, to it's customers and they won't be able to do anything because there's no alternatives. Thus, UA-cam needs competition or it will continue it's stalinist regime.
never clicked on a notification so fast - Thanks Casey brother
Same :)
Paramount Motivations haha same!
ditto
Yep! :-D
Paramount Motivations right!!😂 no time wasted when the notification pooped up!
I feel like nothing was gained with this interview, especially at how much it was hyped.
Brenin Watson definitely
I partly agree, though it's nice to get some insight in the people who work at youtube's lives... No?
Maybe because UA-cam is huge, and therefore the problems that are associated with it are big as well. Thus 20 mins are not gonna cover everything or solve everything. I would say as an informational video it is helpful overall.
if you were expecting solutions to be had in this video you likely had your expectations set too high, what we can expect from this is to have a more "personal" talk with someone with power at youtube instead of it just being a faceless comment, it gives a different meaning to what is being said even if the words are the exact same, this will help moving forward just not instantly.
the comment section of this video is likely being watched with more attention than normal as well so as long as talks here don't devolve into a slugfest issues being debated here may have a stronger influence in the future.
He avoided the most important question about demonetization...
This interview didn’t answer anything...it just created more troubling questions. 😕 How can you be in charge for all the UA-cam content creators...and have never had your own channel? How can you empathize and help at all if you don’t listen to the creators...? He danced around all the questions without really answering them...Honestly, all I got from this interview was a headache...
Same here! This was a waste of my time.
Michael Robins your trying too hard.
He did a great job at dodging questions.
*Did anyone else feel kinda..unsatisfied with the interview? Not that it was really Casey's fault or **_anyones_** we suppose but we felt like it was just things we've already heard before.*
Rayhart Twins it could have been Rob steering the interview away from more controversial questions?
Disliked this comment for being formatted bold.
dude is media trained. gave media trained answers. no surprise there with his PR assistant or whatever hanging close by.
i think if they were going to get into every topic in depth they would have run out time, Casey , in my perspective, was trying to cover as much a possible. Also these questions were tough and maybe difficult for rob to speak about because there are a lot of logistics and complexities involved that need to be addressed properly and cant be done in mere sentences. (especially when its unscripted)
A lot can be said in the micro gestures, and I wasn't a fan about how much he (guy from UA-cam not Casey) smirked talking about smaller UA-cam channels, and how he wanted them to succeed.... almost as if he wasn't being completely honest.... There were other examples also, but something didn't sit right
Thank you guys for sharing this. As a new creator, it has been tough to figure out UA-cam as a whole. It can even be intimidating and difficult when it comes to creating relevant, but honest content. This was very insightful, as far as seeing what UA-cam is all about and hearing what they stand for as a platform. This is so great! Thank you for sharing.
Super interesting interview man! Thank you for representing our community Casey!
Oh hey Mr. LivingBobby!
not actually super interesting, my mans can make videos, but can't interview. Tons of softball ass questions, never really presses!
Fucking love your videos dude!
I’m not gonna lie, Casey does good work for the UA-cam community.
LATEST: Logan ADMITS Japanese SUICIDE vlog was FAKED!! 'Matty Love 2' has full VIDEO REPORT!
@Noir .You sure that's not a lie?
How about Sam McKaey stop SPAMMING other videos for views.
He really does.
Obviously...
really insightful! thanks for doing this casey
Hi
Ambition oi
Yah boi. Ambition represent
Interesting video. Thanks for taking the initiative on this Casey. I made a video about the changes yesterday and my position on them. Overall I think it's great that UA-cam are encouraging content creators that make quality content that actually helps people and makes a difference. This will have a flow on effect and result in advertisers taking UA-cam more seriously, which means high quality content creators will get more share of the income they deserve. UA-cam should never be a platform for "easy money" because that devalues the platform.
I agree with the sentiments expressed below regarding the Yellow Monetization icon. I agree with the concept, but like others, every single one of my videos is demonetized when it's first uploaded, and takes a few days to come back. For me as a relatively small channel producing content designed to help people, this is a hard pill to swallow.
The bottom line is Google is earning huge amounts of money through the content we create, and they need to do a better job of reviewing videos from their verified partners. We should not be treated as guilty until proven innocent.
he just danced around a lot of these questions. Wish you would've asked him to further elaborate on some topics where he just used blanket statements, but I know interviewing someone can be hard, and at some points, uncomfortable.
Matt Mamba Yeah, he said he’s not really used to interviewing people and didn’t even know what the best questions to ask were. IMO, I feel Casey did the best he could for such an important opportunity this interview was
He mostly skittered around these questions in a way that was flawless and unnoticeable without giving any *real* concrete answers. Most people will buy it, but I won’t. We still have no *real* understanding of what’s really going on and where their mindset is going. If that’s how they are going to be, fine. But as for the rest of us, we will continue to be on a look out for a better user friendly platform that will give good hard working content creators a real chance.
Lανιαн Møøn yup, especially the one about empathizing with creators, oh you worked in a mailroom? Great
Lανιαн Møøn well said , spot on !
Lανιαн Møøn Totally true.
I have been using this example, " That was really, really hard.....trying to stabilize an eco-system that is, ya know, moving around." Huh ? Really ? Nice guy, but maybe not the most relatable personality. IMO, in this circumstance, people prefer a direct, break-down-the-basics approach. Answers like those are a) unclear and ambiguous b) presumes the listener has a detailed and historical knowledge of the top, and c) just sounds too much like a politician's answer. Why was it "hard" for you and what do ya mean by ECO-SYSTEM? Maybe follow-up questions could have made a difference ?
Thank god other people are noticing, he basically did this; He starts getting off topic but keeps it similar to what was asked (If he could empathize with how a UA-camr's work into his own work experience), and answers the question on the topic he switched it to. In this case, he answered the question "How can you relate your past work to the work of content creators on UA-cam". Much easier question to answer than how he could relate to the effect that the videos he's demonetizing have on the people who rely on them for income.
Most of my questions weren’t answered in this interview. Casey did a great job trying to ask questions, but he moved on too quickly. When I interview people and I don’t get a clear answer, I ask the question again. You have to be somewhat aggressive sometimes to get the answers you need. Also, why the book plug?
Why the book plug, because that's the real reason he was there.
At least, it wouldn't surprise me if that was indeed the case.
kush?
Casey just won the mvp for pitching softball questions. Neistat is a joke, this interview was a set up joke
Lmao this is his boss tho
Chase Charaba yea like I said before he went a little soft on him. I would ask reasonable questions that everyone needs/wants to know .
Now I know what the next book is gonna be that I'm wanna read. Thanks for this interview!
*LET Philip DeFranco DO A REAL INTERVIEW!*
This is a really bad interview!
He didn't say anything new.
Didn't specify any measures that are taking place in the future to solve the problems mentioned.
The "we need more women creators" argument is just pandering.
He dodged every single question that mentioned anything we actually want to know about!
And to top it all off this ended up being a promotional video for his book!
Diogo Almeida 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pretty sure Philip de Franco helped him out with the questions
Get Phil to reach out and get it done then? Casey took the fucking initiative to make this happen.
Diogo Almeida could not be more true.
No, he's overrated as Fuck
It would be great for him to set up a channel and let people ask questions and the question with most upvotes is adressed in a video once a week or month. It would allow the community and the company to keep in touch and both sides could get a better understanding of each others perspective! Just an idea...
Relax Bro good idea!
Susan tried that lol and got blasted with hate.
b g didn't know that... maybe it wasn't the right time yet?! Difficult to tell...
The CEO of UA-cam already tried that and got a lot of hate for it
They do have a channel similar to this! It's called Creator Insider
He didn't actually answer your questions. He gave nice little soundbites and platitudes, but didn't give any concrete responses. I felt like it was a bunch of fluff.
I would have liked to hear something like, "this is the method by which we are going to open up lines of communication between you, the creators, and us, the corporation. Additionally, this is the way that *other* people in the community can reach out to UA-cam". UA-cam's biggest downfall is their lack of communication. I understand that they have shut that down because opening those floodgates is effectively asking for a logistical nightmare, but it needs to be addressed at some point. You can't have a bunch of 'employees' who cannot talk to their 'bosses'. These people are pretty brilliant... surely they can come up with some type of system that makes the community feel heard.
I agree. But it does look like he hasn't figured that out yet. So he is working on it.
THIS is the response I would have written, but you wrote it before me, so upvote to you. Full of corporate BS that Execs push because they want you to be on their side, but don't want to show that UA-cam has flaws.
Elle mills is INCREDIBLE!! So glad you both did this. It needed to be done and now was the perfect time.
UA-cam needs a discovery page for new creators.They have some random discovery video they post once every month of some new content creator, but the requirement is that you post often. Some of us content creators spend a ridiculous time making videos and can realistically only push 1-2 videos a month. Not sure why the algorithm opposes quality over quantity. I personally spend 100+hours making 1 video, and with school and my job that makes it nearly impossible to push content out quickly.
+BanditRants your videos are absolutely fantastic!
I 100% agree.
The fact that you only have 24k subs makes me want to rage out loud.
BanditRants stop being lazy, lazy fuck
BanditRants Excellent points.
Casey is a little league softball pitcher with these questions! He needs to throw some heat. I would say this was a wasted opportunity but he truly opened up the doors for more creators and more communication in general between UA-cam and the creators. I have a feeling 2018 will be a great year for UA-cam.
Erick Khan Casey probably didn't want to push too much because in a way, Kyncl is sort of Casey's boss. I know the content creators are the back bone of UA-cam and there would be no UA-cam without them. BUT pushing too much and pissing this guy off could've been too much of a risk.
I dont think he needs to push him when he is not dodging to answer any questions. It was a nice and respectful interview not some mudfight which youtube has seemed like lately - i really enjoyed it!
Casey is just too kind for it (in a good way)
I don't know, I think Casey did ask some tough Q's
@Rasmus Raarup THIS^^^ Thank you. It's possible to have a informative and interesting interview without going for the f*cking throat. The whole world would be better off if there was more civilized discussion such as this.
People often forget that UA-cam is a business, and business is imperfect. As much as they would love to be a social justice warrior, they still have to make money, and that means balancing the NEED to make money and the DESIRE to do the right thing. That doesn't mean that every business in the world can be unethical, money grubbing a**holes in the name of making a buck, but the consistent obliviousness to the complexities of running a business of this size is maddening. It drives me crazy when people want all these services on the web, but then completely ignore the fact that they require ENORMOUS amounts of capital to remain intact. You want a platform that allows you to make money with little to no financial investment? Be ready to make some compromise.
Casey: This is Robert, he's the guy that runs everything on UA-cam.
Robert: Hey Guys.
Casey: Is this your first time ever making a UA-cam video?
Robert: Yes.
LMAO.. GG guys.
Nicky Nada 😂😂😂
Why is it a big deal? I'm sure that the leader of a car company has never built a car either...
It's probably why we have such bad cars at such a high cost.
Annika Not built a car but they've drove the car before no? They probably have.
Andrew Anane Pretty sure he has watched a youtube video before
Freedom of speech...unless it goes against what we think you should talk about...Why are they banning gun channels?
Thanks fuck for that
Philip Defranco ain't gonna be happy you got this opportunity 😂😆
KG Productions UA-cam sadly hates Phil for some reason probably because Phil calls then out on there bullshit.
Philip Defranco gave Casey some questions for this interview.
They know Phil would have been tougher on him!
Brian Mosley Phil would go in 100 times worse casey is to much of a nice guy and hasn't got the skills Phil had and also UA-cam lobes casey
I love Casey but I agree, Phill would come with the heat for this interview.
This is a great start though
Nice job getting the conversation started, though this interview left a lot of unanswered and half answered questions. Still, dealing with UA-cam for most non-Casey folk, is basically like shouting into the woods...so getting any type of real responses from one of the powers that be, instead of just a useless form letter reply, is a significant step forward. 💪🏼💯
Casey had better question than Robert had answers. had higher exceptions in this
John Basedow in the beginning you can see he gives some evil looks like knowing he won’t be telling it like it’s supposed to
Exactly, while I may not enjoy everything that was/wasn't answered. At least it got the conversation started.
Well put. Not a lot got answered but the doors are now open. Hopefully he offers time to Phillip Defranco and some others to follow up on questions we still want answers to.
Point of Parallax naw. We good off of Sxephil. I was an og fan. Back when he made his videos in black&white. But I Iost respect for him when he denounced how white people use POC's as stage props. Which a lot of them do. He showed his true colors.
This interview should've been longer
Fuzzy Puppet okay fuzzy puppet.. because your content consists of serious topics...
Film Reviewer 101 ok and?
Film Reviewer 101 This video is meant for people who genuinely want answers from a person at the very top of UA-cam. It's not a traditional video meant for views.
I agree
Blatantly sexism from youtubes own people
Thank you Neistat. We would like to watch more of these understanding UA-cam videos.
Poor interview.
Casey asks question.
Rob answers question.
Casey asks different question; meaning he just accepts the previous answer, no challenge, no clarifications.
It was all too scripted and Controlled.
Casey is not a professional journalist who has the skill set to be that intense (Yet? We will see).
you dont have to be a journalist to question some one
Interviewing is a skill you have to acquire, try it by yourself, you won't be able to get any meaningful statement from a politician if you do not know how to (except you are the one in 10.000).
You have to be a journalist to ask the right questions at the right point in time while phrasing it in the right manner, yeaht that is pretty you are right.
Whos x Cruzin Casey is an incredibly intelligent and driven guy he missed an opportunity to ask real (obvious) questions and he's missed an opportunity about our content creators we're crying out for.
Carlitoburgante I do nit deny his intelligence nor that he missed an opportunity, I am just stating if you lack the technique you have a hard time against a pro.
You asked some good questions, you just need to expand on the questions when he started dodging them. Thinking I want him on my dodgeball team.
RowlWool exactly. Casey had great questions, he did his research and collaborated with people who helped him create this questions. But, he didn't do a good job at getting real and concrete answers.
he went in too soft and probably cut a lot of the answers during editing because it was just corporate speech pandering to shareholders. I appreciate the willingness to go there as a first step. Hopefully the feedback they receive from this is positive and they do this every month and start opening more and sharing more. I've seen lots of hour long interviews with susan and a there a lots of words used but not much information being said.
David Dobrik gonna have a stupid smile watching this video
Saad Belachemi David is a ok person not a fan but don't hate hin
Loved this interview! If there was a follow up, we’d love to hear thoughts on small creators like us having ads on our videos but not be able to receive revenue since we’re under the 1000 subscriber mark. Thanks for this Casey!
Line of the Video *if you don't succeed, we don't succeed.*
Rizwan Rj I just read that as I heard it
*lie
Ring Rathe11 *not lie
they will succeed with or with out me or most of us for that matter.
Rizwan Rj I agree...
*Demonetized*
Tom Groebe basically stolen my comment
Tom Groebe LMAO
What a horse and pony show! I always knew you were aligned with the rulers...
Anarcraft I think you meant “what a dog and pony show!”
Yes, basically the same thing.
Good thing I read the comments before I wasted 20 minutes
He answered questions like a politician.
Taylor Cohea that's exactly what he is. That's his role on UA-cam
Taylor Cohea zackly what I thought.
Carefully worded and thought out? What’s wrong with that? He doesn’t want to put himself in a hole while giving honest answers.
Usually Caseys videos are no bs. Straight to the point. This guy is everything Casey is not.
Casey, thanks for this interview! You do a great job and you do what you really love. that's the main reason I watch you, man )
Andrey Burenok agreed
Stop spamming!
who is spamming?
Bearded Casey should had done the interview
Castaway Casey - Its got a ring to it! :o)
100% agree lol idk why but it just sounds better
Nate The Great
Agreed bearded Casey is a beast!
*Should have.
I wish
Wow, after watching this video I have so much more respected understanding for UA-cam now. I hope the senior leadership continues to do more interviews in the future.
I feel like i didnt actually get a straight answer from any of the questions because after watching this video i still dont know anything...
I've been waiting for this!
Emma's Goodies same!!
Emma's Goodies love your videos , can you sub to me plz.
That book ad in the end of the interview is totally inappropriate
Jenni Vee I thought it was perfect timing. If he’s interviewing him why not promote his book?
As a brand new creator, just 2 vids in, its pretty inspirational to see you reach this point: Interviewing the CBO of UA-cam!
Thanks CN!
ElleOfTheMills just got shouted out on what is going to be one of the biggest videos on the platform, at least for this week! Congrats Elle!
Also... can we please get a FOOD category!!!
Sauce Stache I love food. I want to make a recipe series tbh cause I’m a chef :)
Sauce Stache one of the few times of my life where I feel the addage "RIP her inbox" is valid. Grats!!
Ebony Rose! Do it!
O. insomnical its insanely valid! Her channel is amazing, I'm excited to see how big she becomes! She is the next major youtube star!
1. He didn’t say anything new
2. We didn’t learn anything new
3. This interview was lame
MrMattsMedia : of course it was lame.
He was just putting Logan’s name in it for views. And this Robert guy is so dumb to lower down and sit down with this idiot lmao
What would you have asked?
Rey Sawan obviously ask why they do not share their control of UA-cam with all creators...if everyone on youtube has access to controls of UA-cam and monetizing money , everybody is happy and UA-cam works for everybody
thank u
Rey Sawan Since you guys are such Marxist why arnt you distributing wealth equally?
Casey needs to upgrade his journalist Game..... a lot of unanswered questions
Luitoh Herrera I think he did just fine being someone who is not a journalist..
Thank you Casey, it helped me understand what was going on and you did a pretty good job of explaining it in this video
This interview was a whole lot of nothing
He says a lot, while he says nothing ...
Ok, but there's still no answer to the fundamental flaw in the current demonetization system: if videos are consistently demonetized and then remonetized after review, it means those creators are *not* violating the community guidelines. So, YT's response to "how can I avoid demonetization" being "check the guidelines" is completely unhelpful because those creators are already meeting the guidelines. There needs to be a way to address this flaw.
very true!!!!
This was addressed just a few days ago. Any videos that are demonetized because they violate the guidelines (which are now reviewed by human beings) will most likely be demonetized permanently, with the channel possibly losing their ability to monetize entirely, along with UA-cam silencing the channel entirely by removing them from the Recommendations section. In other words, no more partnership, no more sponsors, no more having their content pushed to the top of the page. This all happened about... two or three days ago.
Videos should be reviewed automatically before they are monetized so creators don’t have to ask for the monetization back, and they should also be reimbursed for lost money prior to monetization on each video.
My point is that my videos are consistently flagged and demonetized by the algorithm. When I ask for a human to review it, they are *always* re-monetized. In other words, the human reviewer concluded that my videos *do* meet community guidelines and that the *algorithm was wrong* to demonetize my videos. Despite this, I'm stuck in a continual loop of upload-demonize-review-remonetize and there's no way for me to address the problem because there is no tool available to assess the cause of demonetization. When I contact YT, I only receive canned answers about checking the guidelines, but again, YT employees have determined that my content meets those guidelines already.
It's like failing a multiple choice test because I used a pencil instead of a pen, when everyone expects the good ol' No. 2 pencil to be the appropriate writing utensil.
My suggestion to UA-cam would be to remove the algorithm entirely, or to have someone else come in and refine it instead of having the algorithm try to learn by itself. When you leave a a program to learn what it needs to do, it behaves like a child. Mistakes will be made for a very long time, and for us as creators, it costs us more than it helps us. The problem here, is that it hurts UA-cam as well because the algorithm stops its own developers from getting paid. UA-cam is effectively shooting themselves in the foot with a machine gun here. This new system is going to be in full swing in about 8 days. Until then, we won't know much. However, I think it's a good idea to use this very platform to bring up the issue. I'd also have to see your content to get a little more insight on why this is happening. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a UA-cam employee. However, I do like seeing what's going on in the business world. Mike's suggestion is something that's a little off and cannot be done, nor will it ever be done for the simple reason that UA-cam is under no legal obligation to reimburse you for lost wages because of the fact that you do not work for UA-cam. UA-cam is a platform that allows you to earn money in a virtual space.
Finally time to watch it through to the end! I could have even watched more. I really appreciate the effort you both put into this interview.
Too soft Casey but I highly appreciate the effort
ZeroS Vlogs agreed
biocybernaut
He should’ve, it would’ve just got more views
biocybernaut Casey doesn’t make most of his income off UA-cam so your right. If I was in his situation I wouldn’t ask and crazy situation because I would be scared they would decrease my income.
He's basically interviewing his boss. I'd be scared to because If anything they've went for Casey himself so I'd be a bit on edge.
This interview is more than you should be getting. Be grateful for it and move on. Search up the definition of effort. Spoiled brat is obvious.
It feels like he dodged every single question about monetization, small creators, and the problems that the Logan Paul fiasco bring up. As a small channel, it's pretty disheartening to see upper management really just not care as much as they should about the community. I guess the landscape of UA-cam is just changing to more of a corporate one rather than one for creators.
You said it, seems very robotic/programmed responses. Essentially at the end of the day, it would be tough for him because how can he ask his "boss" the tough questions that could get him buried? But I definitely understand your point!
SARO just watched your latest vid and you’re good!
He talked about monetization and was relaying the message that it’s hard to please both the creators and advertisers.
YT says to upload a video set to private to see if its unsuitable for advertising before you make it public - DOESN’T WORK!!!
We make recipe videos - very innocuous, safe, well within community guidelines, recipe videos. Every one of our videos gets hit with the ‘Yellow’ demonitised / not suitable for all advertisers, sometime in the 24-36 hours after it goes live. We request a review and YT always sets it back to full monitisation after another 24-36 hours.
So we tested setting the videos to Unlisted / private first, before releasing them live… 24 hours unlisted / private, then 48 hours unlisted / private, then 96 hours unlisted / private, then a week unlisted / private.
Always the same outcome.
YT hits the video with the ‘Yellow’ demonitised / not suitable for all advertisers, sometime in the 24-36 hours after it goes live. We request a review and YT always set it back to full monitisation after another 24-36 hours. Because we are fully within community guidelines.
Makes me think they don’t really know how their algorithm works…
LeGourmetTV Recipes we have the same problem. Very frustrating.
y’all just make food, the fuck you guys getting demonetized for? YT makes no sense sometimes.
I do nothing but car repairs.. demonitized every time I upload..frustrating as hell
Sorting out the rules of UA-cam is still in its infancy as it is changing the media playing field. This generation are setting the rules with their success and sometimes this will cause a problem that needs to be overcome, but I think the attitude to solving these problems is perfectly encapsulated in Robert. If you are interested I'd highly recommend his book, it's brilliant, and that interview was boss. Nice one.
UA-cam needs to regain control of their algorithm again to be honest. Turn away from ONLY caring about optimizing watch time and let viewers discover and creators be seen again.
Also negative videos attacking others with misinformation are all to common and too protected on the platform
Verlisify The power of free information includes those who give out misinformation. That’s just the way it works. Problem is you cannot know who is giving misinformation ahead of time in order to restrict their videos.
As a creator, this did ease my mind a little bit.
buT I WANT JUSTICE FOR SHORTER VIDEOS IN THE ALGORITHM lmao
He seems like a nice guy
Ben Blue lol you spelled buT lol
Yeah, most of my videos are intentionally super short--shame UA-cam wants everything to be ten minutes now :P
If you have less than 4000/1000, basically UA-cam is telling you to go somewhere else. My channel only has about 250 subscribers, but I am pretty far over the 4000 hrs/year. There doesn't seem to be any reason to pick those values. Neither would have stopped the Logan Paul issue, and just today, Logan Paul's channel was back on the front page of UA-cam.
LATEST: Logan ADMITS Japanese SUICIDE vlog was FAKED!! 'Matty Love 2' has full VIDEO REPORT!
I got confused on this. He suggested to not publish videos until they get reviewed. But the video will not get reviewed until there are 1000 views within 7 days. How does that work?
To get an early read on whether your content is likely to receive a yellow icon, you can upload a video as unlisted or private and check the monetization status before making the video public. UA-cam typically does an initial classification of the video within 2 hours after upload. If you make adjustments to the title, description, or thumbnail, the system will take another look at the video within 24 hours (without having to request a manual review).
penatur I've tried tweaking my uploads that way but I haven't had any success. It's kind boggling as to why it happens on every video and has now for months.
I just upload mine to hit 1000 subs. help me to subs please.
RhettyforFun that's because the option that penatur is suggesting is not available for small-time UA-camrs. Only the popular ones.
also keep in mind that it doesn't need 1000 views as long as you have over 10,000 subs.
Thank-you for doing the interview. Despite it's current problems, UA-cam is still an amazing platform that provides opportunity for almost anyone to turn doing what they love into a potential career. Your efforts are appreciated, although sometimes the policies do seem a bit skewed against smaller channels trying to grow.
👍🏾🙌🏽✌🏼 *An example of a creator worth watching, looking up to and supporting. The content may not be sensational al, but it is important to learn for anyone who is a part of this community. Thank you Robert, thank you Casey.*
Couldn't have said it better^^
I expected more. I really did.
Oh boy.
PictureFit love urvids :P
PictureFit?! What a lovely surprise! :D
No matter how and what I feel about all this, thank you so much. I started watching your vlog D. 1st March and now missing 8 Vlog`s, then I've seen them all.
