YouTube Network Addict
On the last part, lets be honest, TGN was not great with George in charge either, there was still alot of lying to partners going on, the staff were all >18 and didn't seem to have any training in the area they were working and for the first 5 months of the network TGN offered 30/70 instead of BBTV's normal 50/50 at that time :| and yes that's only 30% the creator...Well it's not much but here goes
over the last month BBTV has been really "caring" for their partners. I quote it because as far as I can tell it's a lie. They've been telling their partners that in December the 3rd there were going to be some youtube changes and people will now be able to see how much money they are making on youtube and it will also show them how much they are actually making before BBTV takes a cut.
The funny thing is the date has passed and still no new features, except for the content ID nonsense that has been hitting affiliate channels.
BBTV has been silent.
and they sent their partners an e-mail talking about how everyone will be affiliate and how it won't affect their partnership status or actually mean anything for that matter. But in reality it does affect channels I say this because,
*the content ID match system is broken
*People are being hit with false copyright claims
* starting next year 2014 affiliate channels won't be able to monetize their videos right away and every single video will have to be reviewed, that could take minutes,hours or even days.
So what does this mean in my personal opinion this means being partnered with BBTV is worthless, their features aren't great heck nothing about them is great.
But at the same time I couldn't help to think what will BBTV do now that they affiliated a lot of their partners except for their top 10 channels, people are going to catch on and want to leave.
So I guessed that they are going to try and keep their partners to stick around but how?
hmm
LO-AND-BEHOLD they sent me a new e-mail and in it was an offer not just a regular offer
*$100 dollars for signing the new contract
*being an affiliate channel forever
*getting 60% revenue (we all know thats bull)
all this sweetness and what do i have to do?
SIGN A 2 YEAR LOCK IN CONTRACT
THAT RENEWS itself (which is what I heard some other tgn partner say)
When does it start?
at the start of 2014 when affiliate channels will have to have their videos reviewed and tgn partners aren't going to like this and want to leave the network and find some other network that will manage them.
As for the EX TGN employees one of you said that the CEO of TGN had bright ideas but he would get shut down from the CEO of broadband tv I've sent George (the ex CEO of TGN) a message saying
"I just got done reading a message left from a person who used to work for TGN saying that everyone's ideas got shut down by BBTV CEO I guess you had a lot of bright ideas but they were denied?"
and he replied well just take a look at the picture attached to my post to see what he had to say and yes it's the real George Vanous I talk to him occasionally.
so this can confirm about what the EX TGN employee said about having ideas being shut down to be true. (so in this case we can assume that the person claiming to be an ex tgn employee isn't lying)
Thanks for reading this novel full of "Love" betrayal and greed.

With being offered that new contract, the 60% is a tad low, but really 99.9% of channels are going to be affiliate forever.
That's just how it will work, most MCNs will have their top 50 or less channels of managed and any MCN that puts 100s or even 1000s of channels on managed will be shut down within a few weeks.
"2 YEAR CONTRACT THAT RENEWS ITSELF" I think you'll find pretty much every single MCN contract renews itself
As I said, any network that makes more than 50, 100 at a stretch partners managed will be in for a very hard time
