Regret Partnering with a Network?

I personally don't regret joining Creative Nation back in February 2014. Once our channel grew above 10k subscribers, we were assigned a Talent Manager who helped us quite a bit with advices and suggestions how to improve on certain areas. Being able to talk to someone from network via Skype is amazing, as you can usually get live response instead of frequently checking your email whether someone replied to your ticket or not. We've also had some additional payments (2) from additional sales that network provided us with, which was also a nice touch. I have won a headset in one of the giveaways which I absolutely love and use on daily basis and I would still probably talk in my webcam if it wasn't for this giveaway, haha. Sadly, we had to part ways because we weren't quite happy about delays and announcements of new features/programs that weren't ready, but the main reason we left was because we wanted to explore other possibilities and look for networks who would be able to help us even more (I feel like Creative Nation with its very fair revenue share of 90-10% is excellent for smaller and upcoming channels, but once you are bigger, they aren't well equipped to help you further).

People need to realize that networks are not going to increase subscribers number or get views for them, but rather assist them by answering most of their questions and providing a good place (forum) where they can hang out with other members and exchange experience, ask for other tips, promote their content and so on. Having that said, whoever joins Freedom or any other network that takes more than 10% hasn't done a proper research and hopefully will learn from a very valuable lesson where some random company is ripping you off :)

Anyway, hopefully a year from now I'll also be able to say I have no regrets for joining BBTV as well! :)

EDIT Forgot to mention that we are going to keep our other 3 channels with CN, because once they deliver everything they've announced, they're going to be very high on my list of recommendations like they were last year.
