I do realize that. I also realize that you can still lose the privilege of monetizing your videos, either by being flagged by Youtube or by being associated to any banned Adsense account, including the MCN´s Adsense account, wich, BTW, can also be banned.
So, let me see if i got this right.
- You give away a % of your earnings
-You lose your freedom, due to contract obligations
- You risk not being paid, since dealing with a MCN is never as reliable as dealing with Google directly
And all this for what? For "tools" you can find for free somewhere else? It doesn´t seem a great deal to me. I might be wrong though.
