I’m also owed 2 months of ad revenue from @defymedia. I was told constantly that “payment will arrive by Friday.” Then they shut down. As a former managed partner, I can’t unlink my channel from them. I’ve made $0 on all content for the past 2 months. Including 2 sponsorships.https://twitter.com/shanedawson/status/1060349975492616192 …

Word on the street is that a bank seized their assets. I can’t confirm this but that’s what I’ve heard. Sucks for all employees working there and for all channels that were partnered through them who may see $0 for a few months of work.

Also I’d STRONGLY recommend that all creators who were partnered with
@defymedia download your analytics reports before they unlink you. That way you have written proof of your earnings. That option goes away once they remove your channel.Show this thread -
I didn’t go public about this sooner because the
@defymedia contract is a hellscape of anxiety to navigate. It seems they had the legal right to shut down my channel for any reason if you read the fine print. Had to be very careful.Show this thread

I realize it won't help you guys. But it seems to me there needs to be a criminal investigation, because something is not smelling right. Somebody knew this was coming, and was lining their pockets.

This is really sad. I really hope Defy Media, before they shut down, do the right thing and pay their content producers their dues.
