What's good DTube!
Yesterday, I received an email from YouTube, stating they were terminating their partnership with me as a YouTube partner, as they have set new parameters for inclusion in their program.
I was pretty upset, since I have been a YouTube partner and account owner for 4 years, and have spent my time, energy, and money primarily promoting my YouTube account when marketing my music. Especially since I have spent money with Google Adwords to market myself. So you could imagine that receiving this email was like a slap in the face.
I understand YouTube is tightening things up in regards to their advertising program, but why take it out on the positive creators on their channel when they can easily see that my account has been in good standing, I've never been flagged, nor do I produce controversial content.
YouTube is throwing the baby out with the bath water.
It's ok though, because ONE DTube video has paid me more than the combined 4 years I've been on YouTube. If anything, this is a great sign to move on and refocus my efforts here, on Dtube, on the Steemit blockchain, and on decentralization in general.
I appreciate the support DTube is giving me by helping me reach a wider audience, and this last day has truly been a wakeup call for me in regards to where I'm going to be expending my energy in the future.
Thank you all for watching, and let me know your thoughts!
