Machinima Reputation Going Down?

[Brandon]

Oh, you just noticed huh?

They literally couldn`t operate though, it was rumoured that channels such as FPSRussia where losing them a few hundred dollars a day.

How could a channel, especially one with such high views, lose money for a network?

It's time for a new partner to grab the spotlight..

How could a channel, especially one with such high views, lose money for a network?

Because they were paying him a rumoured $3.50 CPM. While the advertising they were selling was earning less than that.

Oh right. Forgot they do the fixed CPM thing.

They've been on a downward spiral for the past year and a bit, but many people still loook up to them because of the sheer number of popular Youtubers still with Machinima.

They were paying him a 2.20$ CPM but only selling ads to make up for $1 of that so they ended up paying 1.20$ per 1000 views from him, The main problem was they wern`t selling enough ads.[DOUBLEPOST=1358686241,1358685756][/DOUBLEPOST]

No matter how much folks hate on Machinima... it is still at the top... in the last month.. top in both views and new subscribers...

and their list of top partners is pretty impressive.. you lose one you gain one..thats business...

that list is not updated, Machinima takes 3-7 days to release a partner

The list is more like this : http://gyazo.com/dd7615c2104c56d8ab2197f76c098d8e

The ones I`ve put as leaving have either tweeted it out or I`ve talked to them
The ones that I left blank I don`t know[DOUBLEPOST=1358686359][/DOUBLEPOST]

Machinima has been too greedy. Now they've lost the trust of the YouTube community, and can't keep any of the larger partners. This isn't new news, Machinima has developed quite a bit of a reputation over the past year or so. I'd steer clear of them, and just be mindful of all future contracts. I signed with TGN, but I'm not happy at all. I'm currently looking for a way out. Thanks for sharing this!

I thought all TGN partners were transfered onto the no lock-in contract scheme?
