Thanks do you know any companies that make free games based on video content for an ad revenue split?

One YouTuber said if you are watching a LEGO cartoon and you are served a LEGO ad that’s a personalized ad. Why? I thought that’s just an ad that matches a video theme. There is no collection of anything.

Also he said kid videos won’t be recommended. Also how will a new video will take off if subscribers don’t know.

Has anyone emailed the FTC yet? We sent 2 emails. On October 7th they will review and look at coppa again. Unfortunately none of them have any modern look on the technology and internet. It’s like letting an old grandma use iPhone or explain what is crypto. You saw the video when Zuckerberg was explaining some parts about the internet to politicians. I imagine in 2020 there will be an uproar. There should be a special government branch made that can fire judges and FTC workers too. So they don’t feel immortal.

Watch this video especially the final part

I see that you are all worried about the minor revenue that will come ... but for me and many others I think the problem is the collapse of the views. With a few thousand views a day, in my case, it doesn't change much. Switch from $ 4 to $ 2? Wow, too bad that up to 3 months ago I also gave 200,000 views a day.

I'm seriously thinking of changing the taghet of my channel, deleting almost all the videos and making new videos for teenagers / adults completely different from the current ones

I find this whole thing incredibly interesting and potentially devastating. I feel like some YT'ers somehow know more about the situation than what I've learned from the 60 pages in this thread. Miss Hands is turning a full 180 degrees and is promoting her new reptile channel. Perfect timing.

Take a look at the latest video on her main - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV6P5rRVmiTL637byUZBTrQ/videos. She hands her audience off to a new concept and away from toy reviews essentially.

Her new reptile channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh0iHUiGTwLFwSER3C7dulw/videos - had only hundreds of subscribers before the weekend, then she dumped a bunch of Spanish videos into the mix and now she's nearing 200k on Monday morning EST.

Miss hands knows that something is up... what is going on guys? Are there strategies that should be employed right now given the current situation or do we just sit here and wait for YouTube to post more guidance? No alarmist answers please. I'm seeing lots of abandon ship responses and I just don't completely agree that YouTube is not going to allow monetization of kids content through different or newer types of ads.

Nothing will help her. She just won’t have that massive kid audience. Plus that 200k channel was started in 2017. So it’s not new

I do hope FTC and google can develop special ads for kids content.

She has got a lot of new subs on the reptile channel but it's not getting any views. Her first video after that sub boost has been up for 2 days and only has 3k views.

Honestly she's an example of someone who has flooded (aka spammed) Youtube with content over the years. Look at the long list of her Youtube channels she has down the sidebar of her main channel and they all contain the same recycled content making money off the back of trademarked characters Yes, she did seem to have a "magic formula" and now Youtube has caught up with her IMHO. Just another "kid channel" who gamed the algorithm for years.
