Affinity Freedom MCN

That's why Fullscreen cut their ties with Freedom because George promises too much and can't deliver it.
They seem to look after their bigger partners really well but I don't know about their smaller partners.

They never had ties to Fullscreen. You probably heard that from KEEMSTAR, he didn't do proper research, just saw the title and ran with it.

Hello,

I am partnered with freedom! I will tell you my experiences with them thus far. As many have stated Freedom! is new and offers very little besides "managed" and no lock in contract. It does not have an ad sales team and it has very little features. The dashboard is finally up and running and works well, they finally got a decent branding kit, and are working on more benefits (At Least what we have been told). However, I agree the 60/40 split is kind of low. However, I signed knowing this. For me Freedom! Is my first network. They claim over time you can get that to be different however, I have not applied but know people who have different pay amounts. Example I know one channel under freedom that has a 80/20 split. One thing about freedom I like is the forums. They have a good forum and have many frequent posters. Granted like all forums they have people who post once and never again, but usually they have regular commenters. I have made some friends there and for me that is really why I joined a network. To meet similar minds and have fun. I don't know George personally, but I was told never trust someone 100% when it comes to money. Overall, Freedom is new and doesn't have that big of a name. They are full of great people and a few bad apples here and there. However, I will say they do their best to help out. I will say this. I do not think freedom is the best. I know there are others out there who can do it much better. I will say for me I am staying and going to see what happens. I am happy at the moment, so I see no reason to leave. Just my experiences. Ultimately it is your choice which network you go with. I am with freedom but would recommend this for anyone. Go with the network you feel will benefits you the most.

Thank you that really helps, I think for now I'm gonna hold off and wait till I learn more about MCN or networks all together, and see what happens. Thanks to all that posted, loved the quick replies and helpful info.

Honestly that is the best course of action. Freedom is not as bad as some make it out to be, but it hasn't done that much yet so it is still a touchy subject. I wish you the best on finding a network that suits you and I hope you have a great day. Happy to help :)

It's precisely as bad as it is made out to be. There is zero reason for a network to offer 60/40 since the YouTube changes removing all of the partner specific features. George has already been shown to have used the managed/affiliate controversy to drum up interest while simultaneously not actually making many channels managed. Standard snake oil b******t. He has only one single thing that makes this worth considering and that is for channels that aren't big enough to get into a no-lock with Curse.

Giving away 40% of your revenue for no real benefits is stupid.

I see your points. I honestly don't plan on staying with freedom forever, however at the moment I am happy with them. They have helped my channel grow, but like I said I would recommend to anyone that they look into other options. I hope I didn't anger you :confused:
