Hey guys just giving you a little update to let you know what I'm up to.
As you're all probably aware YouTube hit everyone with that stupid demonetization thing.
And at this point I think I've got a pretty good grasp on how to make sure my videos are getting monetized before I publish them.
Basically I just intentionally give my videos inappropriate titles and tags while they're in the video manager.
And that way when it gets detected as potentially inappropriate I can request a review while it's still in my manager.
Because if I don't do that my videos very conveniently manage to get flagged for demonetization right after I publish them.
I lost a good 75% of my money on that Happy Death Day review because of this.
I wound up deleting and re-uploading my quickie for The Snowman because of this.
It's really fucking annoying but at least now I feel as though I have a pretty good idea of
what to do to make sure my videos are monetized before I publish them so that doesn't happen again.
Now, during their first initial sweep of their adpocalypse obviously a lot of my videos got flagged.
After sending them in for a manual review most of them got approved again.
But there were quite a few that were supposedly confirmed not suitable for advertisers.
For a few of these videos I'm not even going to bother trying to change this.
Like yeah, I showed a decent amount of gore in my Saw reviews, and I also threw up on camera.
And yeah, my Nymphomaniac review does have kinda a controversial subject matter, I guess.
But I'm pretty fucking pissed off about that being the case for things like my Fateful Findings review.
I didn't even show his ballsack.
And then there's my Childhood Trauma Part 2 review.
Like, I'm talking about kids shows. What was even in there that would be not suitable for advertisers, seriously.
Anyway, the reason I'm making this video for you guys is to let you know that I'm re-uploading these videos.
As in I've already re-uploaded them and YouTube says they're totally okay.
But yeah, I really just didn't want you guys to be confused about seeing old videos show back up again.
The reason why I feel as though I should be doing it here is because these videos are meant to have rewatchability.
The big reviews that I make on this channel are what I consider to be investments.
This isn't a channel that uploades two or three times a week and makes videos that are meant to be forgotten.
And yeah, if you enjoy my content it would mean a lot if you did rewatch the few videos I'm re-uploading.
The fact that they're starting out with 0 views again will mean that they'll be a lot more difficult to find on YouTube.
I made my Neil Breen video with the hopes of people discovering my content as he grows in popularity.
So I'll be unlisting the old copies and the new ones will be their replacements.
I'm only doing this for those two videos I mentioned.
Childhood Trauma Part 2 has been confirmed suitable for advertisers with an email confirming it.
I sent a request for Fateful Findings and they never sent me an email but it looks like it worked, I guess.
So if potentially what I see in my video manager is a lie then I might have to re-upload Fateful Findings another time,
But I'm pretty sure it will be fine so I apologize if that winds up happening but I don't think it will.
Also I'm probably gonna change the title to YMS: Neil Breen.
But yeah just letting you know that that's happening so you're not confused.
I could really use the cash right now.
The album I'm recording is very expensive.
I don't think I'd go through the trouble of re-uploading old flagged videos on my gaming channel or anything else.
Anyway I'm also working on a new addition to the Childhood Trauma series.
Some of you have noticed that Max Landis was the only person that did not make their video for the playlist.
That's because I actually did a short interview with him for his section and I'll be publishing it on this channel.
And there's also one more kids show that I forgot to include in my first series so I'll be adding that onto the same video.
There's also a YMS style video coming out this month for sure.
Although it's kind of a collaboration thing I'm doing for another channel but I'll let you know how to get to it when it's out.
Also, I know I said this month for my 2015 list but more realistically it's going to be the first week of January.
I mean, even if we ignore the fact that now every time I upload a video I have to dick around with it in the video manager
to make sure that I'm actually gonna be getting ads on it before I can even publish it for several days.
This is also the biggest list video I've ever made ever.
It is looking as though it could be up to 40 titles in the entire video.
The longest list before that was my 2014 list with 32 titles.
So yeah, it's coming along nicely but just keep in mind that it is a huge project and it'll more realistically be coming out the first week of January.
Anyway just wanted to keep you guys in the loop.
Thank you so much for your support and stay tuned.
Thank you. Love you guys. Bye.
