What network should I join? Big channel

I've got over half a million views and almost 10K subscribers (in my country, that's a lot since we don't have a big YouTube audience).

I recently submitted a request to unlink from Freedom. I've had enough of them and I feel like it's time to move on.

Problem is, other than Curse (which is a gaming oriented network, thus I can't join), I don't know about any decent networks.

I make about 50% gaming videos and 50% other vlogs and creative stuff.

Any idea about a decent network? Preferably something with no lock-in.
 
It looks like you're only getting around 30k monthly views, which isn't exactly big from a networks perspective. You're not going to be offered a very good deal. Monetizing through AdSense would be the most worthwhile option. What are you trying to get out of a network?

Fairly large. what I was saying by big was just not the "starter" networks that accept anyone who has a video and 10 subscribers.
Most good networks ask for 1K so 8K is fairly large.

Subscriber numbers aren't really a deciding factor, it's about how many monthly views you're gaining, and how engaged your audience is. I can appreciate what you're saying, your channel certainly isn't minute, and it does seem like you have very active subscribers, but to be offered a fair deal by a network you need to be getting bigger numbers than what you're currently getting. You haven't answered my question as to what you're aiming to get out of a network either. :p

What sort of deal are you referring to? I'm talking a normal MCN that I can apply to through their website for ad revenue.
Also it's slow at the moment since I haven't been active for about a month, but now that I'm getting back, more people are joining, these numbers will go up very soon (since I'm also signed to an agency, they give me sponsor deals)

I'm asking what services you would like to receive from a network. If you want to join one of the major networks and have little done for you, just to be a partner with them and have 30 - 40% of your ad revenue taken, go ahead. I wouldn't personally, but your choice.

I would monetize with AdSense for the time being, and wait until you receive a reasonable offer from a network. Preferably a more localised MCN that may be able to help you with brand deals in your region.

Why would I want to do that when I had a 90/10% revenue deal with Freedom?
Dude, people get into big networks with much less...
No network would take 60-70% for someone with 30K monthly views and 8K subscribers. If someone accepts a deal like that he's crazy.
And I can't and don't want to use adsense. PayPal is much better for me, no minimum payout and I can still upload some gaming videos without worrying about the copyrights of the game.
And like I said, I have an agency for brand deals, I'm not looking for that in a network.

Networks do not protect you from copyright infringement when uploading gaming content.

The major networks would offer a 70 / 30 split for 30k monthly views. You're probably making less than $30 a month in ad revenue, so it really isn't worth it to them to offer you anything better.

If you're on a 90 / 10 split at the moment, that's very fair for your channels current size and I doubt you will get a better offer.
