Yes, I do know what concession means, however I think you're a bit off in 'demand' 'point' and 'argument' - 'yield' is a good synonym. Google puts it nicely at:
- A thing that is granted, esp. in response to demands; a thing conceded.
- The action of conceding, granting, or yielding something.
Which I didn't do - I am pointing out people's errors and misconceptions.
As for the quote, I do confess, you are quite accurate that I misquoted you in my reply earlier today. The correct quote is
Let me explain why I believe this isn't good advice (granted, isn't terrible advice like some of the others quoted)
The reason this is less than ideal advice because 1) If you do it, it doesn't do anything. You won't be making money and you have to monetize at least one video (and then wait) to get various partner features. and 2) depending on which network they join (if they do join one) being an AdSense partner can delay the network approval as some networks can't remove AdSense partnership and require you to email google (sloooow)
Cheers and would love to hear your thoughts on the matters... from etymology to adsense
Thanks for the response!
In regard to the word 'concession', I was using it in reference to your personal argument over monetization, and not your mention to the several quotes in the earlier post. Your signature suggests it quite well, in addition to the detailed thread you have up about monetization and your support for it.
Just to make clear, 'etymology' is the historical derivative, development or usage of a word or language (usually in a cultural or evolutionary sense); not to be confused with 'definition'--which is what part of our discussion was about, or so I thought. I can't explain much about the historical relevance of 'concession' as I have not looked into it, but I still stand by my claim that I used it properly in my post.
As for the Adsense and monetization aspect of our discussion... I accept your reasoning on why you felt my advice was less than adequate. That being said, let me just throw in that most people are uninformed or unwilling to understand the the process of monetization to do it safely and legally. There are countless threads on the forums mimicking "Should I monetize?" and each one I have seen was made by someone who clearly did negligible research on their own, had little clarity on the topic and a poor understanding of: Youtube, networks, fairuse regulations, Copyright, etc..
Admittedly, my advice on enabling
may cause stress when attempting partnership with a network that cannot remove Adsense settings, however, not monetizing videos may also be a favorable option. Allow me to explain why. Like I mentioned in the paragraph above, most people simply do not know what they can or cannot monetize, and especially so when it comes to gaming. Without doing any or adequate research on their own, many people just want quick answers and people to essentially tell them what to do. Going straight to saying, "Yes, enable and monetize," may not be wise advice either because they could be setting themselves up for trouble, if they don't read, research, and think.
I think we may agree on the fact that people need to do their research on monetization and related matter. From there, they can outweigh their choices on monetization and choose to do so (or not) if the situation allows.
