I think that full partners are more likely to come up in suggested videos and search, but I am not positive. I had my old channel fully partnered, and it did not seem to make to much of a difference as far as views. The thing that matters the most is your tags.
I just noticed a slight increase in views when I joined RPM, but that may just be because I was growing. I went from around 25o views per day to 300, and I gained like 15 subs in the first 5 days of being partnered with them. It kinda slowed down again after that to a regular 300 views per day and about 1-2 subs per day. It may have all been a coincidence though.
A lot of them do. A contract is a document created to protect both parties. This could mean them saying you are expected to upload regularly. That said, they will not unpartner your channel or take legal action if you are a small channel with 100 subs. It is just not worth their time to unpartner and such. I am not sure about creator x, but a lot of contracts give you the responsibility of uploading regularly.
My last contract said just upload on a regular schedule, and that schedule is to be determined by the partner.
Not mine, I'd never sign such a agreement.
who are you partnered with? Just wondering.
