So what EXACTLY is so horrid about RPM

[FantasyGamerX]

I've seen a lot of threads about how bad RPM is. And the only real thing I can see is that you can't get that much money from them and it's a 2-year contract. I don't plan on making money on my videos for the next 2-3 years, so will RPM be that bad for my channel?

Lets phrase this in another way.

There`s a thief and a rich man.
Because of how much money he has, the rich man doesn`t mind getting robbed (this is you @OP)
The thief robs him anyway, just because the man doesn`t care, doesn`t mean it`s the right thing to do

The thing I mostly don`t agree with as shown above, is their morals, of which they don`t seem to have any

Most of the channels here are to small to make money anyway, so why does it really matter?

Over the course of the 2 year contract, most will only make like $5 anyway. So what's the real point in arguing about them 'stealing' it..

Worst they can do is buy themselves a coffee, if they're lucky.

What do you mean by absence of morals? WHat morals are they lacking?

Bad CPM.
Too long lock in, they treat their partners like dirt.
Bad split.
They don't even stick to their contract sometimes.

I have to agree.. If anyone is in the wrong it's the micro-channels that are signing the contract.

There are a few who have no interest in the money, understand the fact they are a much smaller channel and use the extra features such as thumbnails and the music library to grow their channel.

RPM is doing nothing wrong, channels are.[DOUBLEPOST=1369256362,1369256295][/DOUBLEPOST]

2 years isn't that long, especially for a growing youtube channel.

I am partnered with RPM, they have always responded to my emails within 1-2 days of me sending it.

They do stick to their contract, they legally have to. And if they don't, they're screwed.

Wait so are you saying that it would be a mistake partnering with RPM? I don't want to rush into this and am in no hurry at all

No, no, no.. I'm not saying that at all. Haha.. I've had a great experience with RPM so far..

I was more or less supporting RPM, in saying that they are doing nothing wrong.

I struggle to find a moral they have...[DOUBLEPOST=1369256645,1369256549][/DOUBLEPOST]

Go to a music artist that`s small but has potential to grow in future and tell them you`re going to be talking HALF of their revenue for the next 2 years...
You`d be told to p**s off

See but that's what I'm saying- I don't care about the money! I could be making ZERO and I wouldn't care. I just wanna use the features to slowly grow my channel and then get partnered by a bigshot network.
