Thoughts on Collective Digital Studio?

Hello Everyone,
I've been contacted by CDS lately and I'm a bit weary of joining a Network.
Can anyone give me some insight on what I should do? I've been growing fine on my own. What can they offer me that I cannot do? Is it worth joining? Will I be making more than Adsense (my main issue) after everyone gets their cut?

Thank you for reading
:)
 
To be honest i wouldn't bother with a Network until your a relatively big Channel.

They don't offer that much more anymore.

On my first channel like 5 years ago when i got partnered with a network it was great because at that time the only way you could change your banner and custom thumbnails was by being partnered so that was such a big help. Now you can do all of that through YouTube.

Some networks may offer you more royalty free music which is a help but YouTube offer a fast amount of free to use music anyway.

This is just my view but i'd say stay put with YouTube until your grow and then it may benefit you.
 
Spammers, they send a huge amount of emails to the channel below. Around 3-4 in the last month from different people (No use of any CRM software either obviously)

I've see two contracts from them before and both had very poor terms, alot of revenue taken for very loose promises like "we'll help you get more views in other countries", "improve your content" etc

Hi, what would you consider a big channel? Why do you think they would benefit a big channel? Just curious. Collective works with Roman Atwood, Vitaly, FouseyTube and a lot of other huge YouTubers. Why would they join them if there wasn't any benefit?
