Looks like @YouTube has finally decided to be honest about just how much they hate their community and content creators. Good job, @TeamYouTube. It was no secret that you didn't care about your creators. Glad you own that fact now.

No other company is so opaque about how you can earn money. If you're paying people, it is your obligation to be transparent and precise about the conditions. Vague rules and an AI that FREQUENTLY requires human intervention are not good enough.

I'm honestly surprised that
@YouTube hasn't found itself the subject of a class-action lawsuit for their inconsistency in how they pay people, as well as how they allow their copyright system to be abused by big companies who then profit off of IP that isn't actually theirs.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
@YouTube@TeamYouTube If I was a contractor, and the amount I got paid (mo matter how much work I did) depended entirely on arbitrary and vague rules enforced by a wildly inaccurate moderator, as well as the decisions of predatory third parties, I'd sue.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
@YouTube and@TeamYouTube don't see their content creators as even independent contractors. They see them as products. It's extremely unethical, but they get away with it because there is no good competitor.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
"But payment is just a bonus!" You might say. That's no excuse. If you're paying people at all, then you have the responsibility to be 100% transparent about the terms of payment.

Consider this.
@YouTube is so bad at consistency that their content creators have to monetize their channels in other ways.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread
@YouTube @TeamYouTube like it or not, anyone who signs up to earn ad revenue on your service is signing a contract with you. They are contractors and deserve transparency.
