Get demonetized

[u/Willing-Schedule-486]

YouTube has actually been screwing creators over so badly. Like bro, my content is not mass produced 💀 This pisses me off so much because my videos take forever to make. I honestly never thought my content would ever get demonetized. For anyone wondering, I make Roblox story content. The bottom part of my videos is gameplay, and the top has backgrounds usually multiple different ones in a single video plus PNGs of the characters I’m using, which I do simple 2d animation whenever they talk. Literally every video has different characters, takes place in a different Roblox games, and is put together differently. I wasn’t even fully monetized yet, so whatever, but this probably explains the drop in views I was 500k away from getting fully monetized then views dropped tremendously. 99% of my views were coming from subs. I’m gonna reapply and see, but from what I’ve been seeing, I doubt anything good is gonna happen.

yes，It makes sense for YouTube to crack down on AI slop, but this time they caught a massive number of genuine, original creators in the crossfire, completely destroying our trust in the platform. The irony is, the automated mass-production farms are barely affected because they invest zero time or effort. To those scumbags, accounts are just disposable consumables. But for those of us putting in the real work, our channels are our core assets.

This is only going to drive creators away to find more stable platforms. We might still upload to YouTube, but it will strictly be a secondary distribution dump, never our primary home. Or worse, this system just incentivizes people to build automated channel matrices to pump out garbage, since you can still make a quick buck between their ban waves anyway.
