I Love YTtalk
do you know which MCN?
I would be cautious in thinking that MCN's are the magic silver bullet.
do you know which MCN?
An article in the London Times
It is bad news all around.
I have content ID and I don't think it is that.
I've seen a noticeable improvement in my views this weekend from the 'post drop' levels. Currently sitting about 30% higher and a lot more activity. I'll keep you posted.
you are penalized if you do not have a content id, youtube does not trust you, my content is original and I am penalized, the channels which were with a mcn were not affected. I know two channels that their view have dropped by 50%, they joined a mcn and their view have tripled this week I will join a mcn and see the result.
This is true. I have content id account. I was penalized.I see what your saying. I don't think youtube is penalizing channels for not having content ID...but channels with content ID could get preferential treatment. That might be the case now.
Content ID is just a program to help copyright owners manage the takedown process. A company like Disney doesn't have the resources to hire someone to locate every copied video...that's where content ID comes in.
The 2 channels you know of probably have original content and they weren't aware of the content ID program. They didn't need to join an MCN. They could've applied on their own.
I would be wary of joining any MCN as they don't have the best reputation. They are supposed to handle any "strikes" on your account, help with sponsors and whatnot but I've heard they just take most of the money made by creators. I'm sure it depends on the MCN
Anyway,

This is probably the form an MCN would fill out for your channel - https://support.google.com/youtube/contact/copyright_management_tools_form
