Which network is best for me?

what is this
Let me start by apologizing for making one of these threads as these tend to get annoying. I've been having some success on YouTube lately and decided it's time for me to join a network. I have over 2.5k subs and 2k daily views as of last week with just 8 videos. I did a lot of research on networks but none of them seem to give me what I want yet. I've only gotten low shares and long contracts. Now I know I'm not a big youtuber by any means but I'd like a better contract.

Fullscreen refused to negotiate their terms. YDL was a laugh of a contract. BigFrame never contacted me (didn't really expect it). Creator Republic never got in touch. I'm actually leaning toward ATV because their share is as low as every other offer with less obligations and the ability to terminate contract when I choose to. I've talked to others in the network (with a decent following) and they are pleased with the network over all. Their channels' audiences are also similar to mine.

Although I'd like to join one, I guess it might be best to wait for my channel to grow even more for the chance at better terms. I'd like for everyone's advice on networks, experiences with them, and what you think I should do.
 
I would avoid ATV as they have a horrifying reputation for not paying partners and giving unrealistic contracts.

Fullscreen have been known to negotiate a contract, but if your channel is small (as in less than about 10k) then they wouldn't. They're a good network though.

RPM are also decent. They got a bad rep when they lowered their entry requirements to zero, but all networks have zero requirements now so, they ain't so bad.
 
For your situation, I would recommend Union for Gamers as a place to be while you grow your channel if you want to start monetizing your videos. 90/10 split and you can leave at any time (takes 30 days plus the rest of the current month to be released).

The FAQ for their partnership is at this link: http://apply.unionforgamers.com/

I highly recommend going through their forum to see if there are any complaints about the program.
 
Frankie, im not in any way to defend ATV, and heard a lot of bad stuff about ATV as many of us here too, but never heard that they are not paying its partners.
Are you sure you found info that ATV is not paying partners?

If the small channel not able to reach threshold to get payout in ATV is not the same meaning as ATV is not paying partners.

Just what I've heard. I'm not with them so I can't speak from experience. But they do recruit people knowing they will never, ever get paid but knowing the network will earn from it. Same thing in my book.

Coming from your point of view you can call every Network that accepts channels with very few daily views and that have threshold 100$ as a non paying network?

Yep. They know from the word go if a channel will ever earn any 'take home' pay. But they recruit them anyway. It's not a scam, and it's not a crime (because the contract says what's going on). Don't make it right.
 
N4Gtv is pretty good too. Lower requirements 84 views daily. Under Maker Studios and they are small. Because they are small they do their very best for every partner. Check out infamous Mango's post that is sticky on this forum.
