Or I could just stay with AdSense... If I'm going to put in the work to grow myself, I'll continue to grow by myself as much as I can. If there's a network out there that wants to help then I'll join with them, if not, I'll wait for 1 that isn't going to just take a cut and toss me aside. I'll work to grow but I won't let anyone else take from my success if I do. I'm not going to give a company a cut just for serving a few extra ads at the push of a button unless they offer me something more than that. It's a cycle that has the possibility to work itself out, there's a difference between helping a random channel that has no views and a difference between actually taking the time to see if a channel has potential and helping them grow to gain decent views, the more a channel grows the more money it can earn the network.
