Shall i go with UFG?

Recently as of like 1-2 days ago.

Pretty sure it will take a bit for it to update on social blade.

Do you have a source for that?

 

[Boubouille]

Maker bought them.

Nope.

And I didn't really want to go fully public about this just yet, but since people are mentioning it... We're in the process of moving directly under Youtube as our own MCN. The cut off date on paper is August 1st but it will take a few more days or weeks to get everything renamed properly.

Straight from the partner forum.

Not sure if I can link it or snapshot since only partners are allowed to see the chat. But it was announced 1-2 days ago along with the new recent website make over.

If you want to take it with a grain of salt feel free.

Very interesting. Boubouille what does this mean for inside ad sales?

And sorry for the confusion on the buyout. Every source I've seen talk about the whole situation even as it was happening used the term "Acquire" which doesn't usually refer to a working partnership but rather a buyout.

Are you Russian dude who was rejected with GTA mods channel? Your other channel also looks suspicious. 70k vid out of nowhere. Obviously embedded views. Yeah you can try joining them.

Yea in gta Mods channel i got embedded views so it got denied
but in this i dint got many embedded views just 10-15k out of 80k
My video was posted in reddit and from there that got 60k views

It doesn't change a thing, we've always sold on our own network and Maker never sold for us. We have a couple of sales team (west coast/east coast/uk/europe/australia) and they're doing pretty good so far!

You're close. There was a big bit of drama around Machinima and Google involving money invested where Curse got dumped. But they didn't just partner with Maker. Maker bought them.

I don't think they bought them. Curse (UFG) has a CMS under Maker, and Maker obviously gets a percentage of revenue from them. But everything else is separate from Maker. That's why they don't have all the same features as Maker's other networks and do everything else on their own.

Yep, BB corrected me above.

I thought YouTube is the one that revoked Curse's CMS in the first place?

Yeah, your support just told me that you are no longer affiliated with Maker?
