I got the partner benefits and that's it. My channel did grow but that's because I was promoting and working hard like before. I won't say it didn't help at all, I'm, sure just being partnered anf having the banner made some people subscribe but to be honest I feel like it hurt me more than helped. People expect you to have bigger numbers when partnered and a lot are turned off if you don't. I actually gained a lot of haters like that.
I also had thought about creating my own network since I have a been on Youtube since 2007 with different channels and such but I just don't have the time right now. I hope you've done your research and realize it takes a lot of work.
Now back on topic please, anyone got any insight on which networks are good or bad?
