Ads fluctuate multiple times a year in-line with how companies advertise. April is usually bad.
Yes, but that is not what is going on here. In the last month, my channel has gone from 70,000 viewed minutes to 120,000 viewed minutes. That's a 70% increase. I had 24,000 views last month. This month I am at 32,000 views. But in the same time period, where my channel has grown at a record rate, my earnings have crashed.
This is because of the youtube ad boycott. It is hurting small creators like me that have done nothing wrong. We are being punished because of a few radical videos that represent 0.0001 percent of the total videos on YouTube and it is not fair.
If this continues, creators like me will have no incentive to make videos. I say, "Like Me" because, unlike gaming videos where all the creator does is play games and talk, my type of videos actually take hard work and lot's of time to make. The type of videos I make actually take a lot of time, thought and hard work to produce. It's not as easy as just doing a screen capture of a game I am playing.
For example; my current project "How to Build the Ultimate Chicken Tractor!" Has taken over three weeks and 30 hours of videos; and I am not done! When finished, it will take days of video editing and rendering just to assemble it and reduce it to 30 minute video.
This is real work to make these kinds of videos. I do it to because I want to help people, but for me to lose money because of a few radical idiots that represent 0.00 Nothing of the total videos on youtube, is not right, no matter which way you slice it.
