Hey guys! I just created an account here and it was mainly because after endless googling, I'm not sure what to do and I figured someone here could help me maybe?
So I just recently started making videos and only have 7 videos, 29 subs, and 591 views. My channel is obviously in the "hey I'm just starting and testing things out because fun reasons and stuff" stage. As part of this "new thing" I'm trying I entered The You Generation's Comedy Competition. I didn't really get a lot of views or anything from it - they didn't even put me in the auditions playlist, so I thought no more about it until I received a message from them saying that they wanted me to join their (TYG) network. It's part of Base79 and the contract says 50/50 revenue split and lasts for 24 months. As anyone on youtube, I think being offered anything is really cool, but after researching this doesn't seem very appealing. I honestly don't even care about 50/50 because I never have made money from youtube and didn't really expect to, but I just don't like the 2 year contract.
I don't have the funds for a lawyer to modify the contract and send it back to them (which is a piece of advice I found on a few other websites), but I don't really want to sign the contract as is.
So basically, I would be interested, but I don't want to sign myself for a 2 year commitment. However, I am a bit confused as to why they would pick someone with such low stats anyway and that makes me feel like I don't really have much weight in any contract negotiations.
I know this is long, but has anyone had this happen to them or have any advice? I appreciate everything in advance!
