-Fullscreen will still continue to help us and defend us against copyright strikes as usual, they will just be less penalized before.
-The way they determine if you will become a managed partner or an affiliate will be figuring out if you upload copyrighted content. If you upload NO copyrighted content then you will most likely be a managed partner, but if you upload music, video game footage or whatever you DO NOT own, then you will become an affiliate.
-The monetization process will be a little longer now as we will have to go through the content ID system everytime we upload. This used to be a 48-hour process but they have heard that it will be greatly diminished to a couple hours, which means you will have to private your video for a little bit untill it goes through monetization.
-The problem with going through the content ID system now is that you basically can't upload any music as it could get easily detected, and some video games will now be claimed for 3rd party content because we didn't see that before since we had instant monetization. I think I'm correct on this note but I might not be 100% on everything that I just said in this bullet point.
-These changes will occur on November 18th.
-Previous uploads before November 18th will most likely NOT go back through the monetization process, but they will still continue to be tracked and reviewed for copyright like they have been, so you SHOULD be fine, but as always, take caution (Especially with videos that have music that you DO NOT own)
-Minecraft does not appear in the content ID system and it seems like now that Pokemon (Atleast X and Y) does not appear in the content ID system either so they should be able to monetize easily. (I tested X and Y for monetization on my backup channel that was not partnered but has monetization enabled and it went through within 30min-1hr (This could be different for partners but I don't think it is)) As for other games, I haven't checked as I really only upload those 2 games.
What I read online:
-Affiliates will get a button to make a smoother breakup process between them and the MCN but they might not be able to leave until their contract is up.
