Making money on Youtube
This might be a lounge discussion. I don't know.
I like to check out car reviews. Not everyday cars. Super cars or hyper cars. There are a few channels I follow that do regular car reviews and obviously when the opportunity presents super cars as well.
I came across a review for something, a McLaren or Ferrari. something like that and it was along the lines of "Why I bought" or "Living with" the car. Anyway video was by a young person mid 20's. I'm thinking right. Rich kid. I watched anyway and while the Tuber was clearly english public school educated they didn't come across as a prat, spoiled brat. I watched a couple other videos they did and the style is friendly and personable.
These are not rich middle eastern kids running amok in London in the summer.
The videos are not always about their cars although a lot are. There are videos on adventures, driving here, joining convoy runs. Jumping in other peoples super cars for quick drives, ride alongs and occasionally casual interview type things. Then I noticed they had a large number of subscribers/followers.
I noticed they also linked to a couple other channels of people around the same age doing the same thing. Now some of them probably came from wealthy families, well spoken in that english way. They all seem reasonably personable. It is only a few minute window in to the highlights of their world though. I think most of them made the money they bought the cars with. Even is a couple may have got a leg up through family. I think in the main they do their own thing.
What intrigued me was the number of people following along and the number of views they get per video. In some cases they are punching out a video per day and when some event is on, car show or road trip the videos are more frequent.
Then I go thinking, are they making real money from YT. In one case, one of these kids has funded all his cars from YT - owning one at a time and upgrading after a year or so.
Then I started looking at other Youtubers and I was floored by how much monety some of these people are making. I did come across a web page that showed daily page view states, how many ads were being watched long enought to generate a comission and other elements adding to the estimated income. Lets face it, estimated could be a long way from reality but some numbers looked pretty solid.
I would say once you get to about 500,000 subscribers and you hit 20%+ views per video e.g. 100,000 views per vid, you are making some money in the few grand per vid. They might pull $50,000 - $100,000 per year.
When you start to look at the real big hitters on YT like Pewdie Pie and Bieber and others who have millions and tens of millions of subscribers and some are getting 40 - 50% of subscriber numbers in views per video they are talking Tens of $1,000 per day. Some are pulling what might be more than $100,000 per week. The numbers are mind boggling.
Pewdie pie does games I think. Never watched. Bieber of course does Emo. Some are doing makeup tips, clothing, technology. Rappers. Stupidity, moronity, Hicock45 does guns. There is even one called What is Inside. It's a Dad and his young son and they cut stuff open to see whats in the guts. Bowling balls, wasp nests. pool balls. Even they would be pulling tens of $1000's per video.
if you then fine tune the adverts playing with your videos you can increase your commish, add some Merch and you could be really pulling in some moola.
Quite an eye opener. Given some of the personalities around here some GSUS thunderdome shit fight YT videos could be a crowd pleaser?

Re: Making money on Youtube
I absolutely love Benchmadefor knives and I would love to do product reviews
My hook would be to do a review of a knife and tell a practical application story
I especially would push the fact that I have big hands so certain knives wouldn't make sense to use unless you are a collector.
I also would by whatever I'm reviewing and pay full boat to avoid bias

Re: Making money on Youtube
I think the key is doing what you like and being natural. It seems to me the most popular people on YT are just that. And buying something your reviewing adds to the integrity of it. You don't have to feel any obligation to the maker or supplier.
I'm just stunned by the $$ potential and the number of YT'ers who are in those numbers. Combine everyone and you are talking amazing numbers. + YT takes a sizable cut from all YT'ers. It really is a massive business.

Re: Making money on Youtube
One major problem with google adsense on youtube is that a lot of plebs have discovered it in the past couple of years and are fighting over a smaller piece of the pie thus reducing the overall quality of the content. For instance they create all these crappy clickbait videos with titles like "barnfind" where they only go to some dude that has had something in air conditioned storage for a couple of years, or "reviews" of products people don't even own but just blatantly copy pictures of from the internet and do a crappy voiceover etc. Another cancerous moneywhoring trend i have a dislike for is the type of video where they buy some brand new overpriced cellphone or similar popular product and destroy it just to get views and then reading the comments from all the clueless apes that cant fathom why somebody would do such a thing. Oh and the "reaction" videos.. Which is another interesting subject in it self. The largest "reaction" channel on youtube, run by 2 jews, recently in their bottomless greed tried to copyright usage of the term "react" and even went as far as to try to sell the concept to their idiot viewers so they could generate ad reveneue from all their "licensed" react channels... kinda backfired though, but the reaction business is for the most part staged, overplayed and often politicized etc. One more trend that recently got exposed as being totally fake is the so called prank channels where hordes of people have come forward to let others know that it was all fake and that they played the role as an actor.
The biggest problem with all this is that people don't know what is fake or real anymore. One trend where this is obvious is when it comes to abandoned places. Since so many people use the keyword "abandoned" in their video just to get views and then squeeze a few extra dollars out of the guilible viewer they have now come to the point that they believe that all abandoned places are trashed and destroyed by vandals and copperthievs etc, and when somebody shows a genuinely abandoned place where things are untouched they all scream fake fake fake.
OPs observations are correct though, a lot of common folk have made huge fortunes thanks to it. All it takes is the rights to one viral video and you can be set.
TLDR: youtube is crap thanks to the moneywhoring that is currently taking place there which is making everything fake.

Re: Making money on Youtube
YT is a mixed bag. There is a massive amount of YT SPAM now. The term "review" is probably one of the most abused terms in YT land.
As I said I like to watch car videos. Either people reviewing a car or owners telling about their cars and people getting up to adventures. Motorbikes is another one I like to check out but using the term motorbike/motorcycle review will get you pages of YT SPAM like you describe. A slide show of pictures pulled from the net with that automated script reader voice over the top.
And there will be 20 or more videos uploaded in the space of 30 minutes in the one channel so the first half dozen pages of results are rubbish.
I try and filter out this crap but its' a challenge. Now when i find something of interest I check out a few videos, book mark the channel if it's good and also look at a few of the other channels linked to is because they are often similar or at least filtered. With the super car stuff I've been checking out I've realised a few of these guys know each other but I think in most cases they met via driving adventures, saw that so and so was YT'ing and decided to join in.
If you can stomach these guys, and I don't think I can, they are pulling 10million subscribers and this video has 10 million views. I think pulling one view per subscriber is an achievement anyway, even if it's not my cup of tea.

Re: Making money on Youtube
following a thing called the Gumball Rally 3000 - no doubt a take off, of the famous US and other rallies from the 60's or 70's? It's not a race but I guess a cruise across several countries in your supercar, parking up here and there and letting joe public have a gawk at your wheels.
One of the more popular supercar video posters is a guy called Shmee150. he has a Mclaren, a Ferrari and something else I can't remember. Not driving an exotic super car this year. Taking 3 mates with space for luggage.
This is YoutTube Celebrity. Day 6 of 7 driving days so nearly done.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JZjdsunsoA
There's a video for each day but that one sums up how big a following you can get on YT if you do something you love doing. Even the Cops at the border knew the guy from YT and had watched his videos.
I've heard it costs about $70K to get a car in the Rally. Not sure if that is true but I think it's probable.

Re: Making money on Youtube
Been considering this my self now and then , not that I have even joined ,what is it google , YT,gmail , in that people can put their voice out there, make clips , basically about anything , stuff thats talked about here ,who knows what.
Personally its health subjects for me but really with a bit of imagination there are lot of interesting subjects.
Its difficult for me to join up with the treacherous mob called YT ect, but considering there is not a lot of alternative in this area perhaps.
So the people who do it for the bucks or the people that do it ,just to get the information out there.
And then the money starts rolling in and it goes to peoples heads and they lose themselves in then forgetting the original message they started with
.People become corrupted by loads of money, it effects the personality of people, unless you have been through all that and seen through it , you dont have to be like that or them.
Speak from the heart about something you are interested in and its not about fame and fortune because they are an illusion , if they take you away from your heart.
Its not the thinking and believing anymore ,thats where we where lead astray, they took us from our hearts and turned us into idiots(for them basically)instead.
Forget about what you want, they seemed to say on my first day of school, you are going learn what we want you to learn.
So our hearts have been kicked out the door, but when our hearts speak to us ,hopefully we can listen to it more
and more.
Believe what the intellect wants or tells you to believe , no matter what it is ,without exceptions ,at your own peril.
Here is a clip on higher ed..........

Re: Making money on Youtube
theres a lot of people doing it and you dont have to put your face online. At least with YT you can have an alias unlike facecrook which insists you link to a real world identity.
I think the people that do the best on YT do put their face on there but it is not always the case. There are some motorcycle YT'ers who stay inside their helmets. Only their voice on line.
As you say there are other avenues but you won't get as much exposure. Places like JustinTV or Vaughnlive, where people broadcast. You could build up a video library and just hit the repeat button and run a 24/7 stream. Or you can run a weekly time slot show.
A lot of people use YT to build a base then "offshore" their material elsewhere. Do a 2 hour show and post 1st hour free on YT. Subscribe the 2nd hour. Some stream live to YT and archive the show elsewhere.
I saw some YT channel where the presenter is simply opening boxes of toys and talking about them. Gets 20 million hits per toy. Mindboggling. Obviously if you have a pet that is cute, lazy, stupid, snores or farts a lot that is YT gold and a sure fire ticket to the high life.

Re: Making money on Youtube
last week I looked up on google and it seems to be like 300 dollars/100k views. It is still good money. Some of the best utubers get 500k views in a week time with one video only, so yes you can make 1,500 very quickly.
My partner and I are considering having a channel since we want to travel while we still can.

Re: Making money on Youtube
PewDiePie has been talking about shutting down his youtube channel for maybe a couple months now. Not sure if it's the most subscribed channel or not but certainly one of if not the most successful one out there if you consider hits, views and probably $$ per video.
Although it's hard to get data on actual $$ as discussed here and in other threads.
Anyway seems YT is hard work. It might start as a hobby or a fun thing and if you get popular you get more hits, more comments and either the public demands or your own personal expectations to increase the amount of content grows. Seems it can grow into a monster.
And everyone's a critic and they have no fear in this instant gratification instant feed back world of Internet to say anything and everything to the people who make the content.
I don't know if PewDiePie is trolling his audience. The possibility is there BUT claiming he will delete his channel when it hits 50,000,000 subscribers. Currently around 49.6 million.
Given that this hobby became successful and now appears to be some kind of burden like a real job, I wonder if he has even taken an actual holiday? Like you would if you had a real job? Throw up a test pattern and go away for 2 weeks OR break it down into seasons like some other channels have done. Have a break in the summer or winter, what ever works best. Do some best bit mash ups? Run some of the funniest subscriber comment exchanges that were posted. Hire some helpers.
Will be interesting to see if the channel is deleted or suspended or whatever. It would be pretty hard to walk away from the residual income or tail, because even though a video might be old, if it still gets views it's still making money.
My guess is he's trolling to hit 50 million subs. Time will tell.
-
Re: Making money on Youtube
So the PDP guy hit 50 million subscribers this week. A funny thing happened. He deleted his youtube account.
Of course it was not his PewDiePie account with 50 million subscribers but another YouTube account that he had.

Re: Making money on Youtube
guys makes some good points. Needs to work on his audio levels though. I get frustrated when I have to up and down the volume control because peoples voices go from regular volume to a whisper.
BUT OT, he is right. Seen plenty of it. I've watched peoples videos thinking I was watching the original makers material only to find later that it was stolen. If comments are open I will post something about it being stolen. I find I am almost always ghosted on YT. I do not know why but from the very start 99% of my comments have been ghosted and it takes the channel owner to tag my posts before others can see it. But sometimes they show up with out intervention. But not often.
It's very important not to let your work get co-opted. A lot of people let others "help" them and then they delegate some task to their "helper" only to find the helper has registered a trademark or copy right against their brand or registered their domain in the helpers name and they lose control of their brand, material and work.... not to mention reputation and any money they may have been entitled to.
I'm watching a couple young YT'ers at the moment who I think are being befriended by such types. I'm concerned they might fall into this trap or share some ideas that will be stolen. We shall see.
Solutions?:
Trust no one with important tasks relating to your brand - (or trust no one period)
Do not delegate registration of anything to do with your brand - name, copyright, domain name
Do not let anyone get access to the monetization parts of your accounts
Watermark everything with something that always points back to you - e.g. a domain name
I realise watermarks can be obscured but if they have to do something obvious to obscure it viewers might catch on.
Maybe put in a statement somewhere.
Seems strange that YT'ers are fighting the same problems that the big studios are railing against.... unauthorised use of their work.
I wonder how much right they can claim when they are using video/audio/written word from other sources like the MSN?
I am also still very curious about how much money can be earned. I've seen some guys go professional YT Content makers on as few as 50K or 60K views per video, a video every 2 - 3 days. It seems like it is enough monetisation to go pro.... although possibly not a whole lot more than subsistence money. I haven't seen any good numbers yet. Only guesses. But there is enough of them going pro at those levels to suggest is a decent return.

Re: Making money on Youtube
^ yeah I do these daily YT searches for Pizzagate, then apply the Today (trailing 24 hours) filter... Guessing > half the results are from these 2 bandits: "What they won't tell you", and "Exposed Truth." The vids they re-up can be weeks/months old, but they re-title them (something enticing, usually ALL CAPS, MUST SEE! :D" plus they give it an enticing thumbnail, so you might waste a bunch of time with it before realizing it's old & you've seen it before! :(
That's why I was asking in the pizzagate thread, if there's some way I can block certain (bandit) vloggers from my search results. But even if that's possible, I'd surely have to be logged in for it to work, which I prefer not to be. :cool:

Pat,
I haven't tried this with YT ..yes I have. Seems to work
When you type in the search phrase you can put a space then -<NAME OF BANDIT> to exclude them.
So minus sign(no space)NAME OF BANDIT.
Works on Google as well. I've always used: keyword + keyword -keyword in Google to combine keywords and exclude keywords from search results. Seems to work in YT as well.
I don't log into YT very often because tracking but sometimes I Will, then go through videos and putting them in a Watch later list. Mainly because I block ads BUT occasionally I like to go through the videos and play with ads so the content maker gets their monetization. Then I can simply hit the play them all option and let it run through the videos in the list. Don't even have to be there if I don't feel like it.

Re: Making money on Youtube
^ ah ok, so a boolean search syntax. I've used it in goog & others forever; incl the + for mandatory words. If a phrase/sentence, enclose in quotes. I wouldn't have expected it to work with vlogger handles though!
You mentioned your comments get "ghosted." I had that happening to me at YT a few weeks ago; wrote about it in the PG thread here. What good does that do anyone?! and YT doesn't tell you, "Awaiting approval" or any such... just seems to try & fool you that everyone could see your comment! :( I got suspicious when I'd return to comments a day or whatever later, to check replies, likes, etc; and see the comment, but no replies/likes. I went to the page on my other device, not logged into gootube, and the comment was not to be found... :(
see this vlogger's short vid,

https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=E...n%27t+Tell+You
While it DID omit "What They Won't Tell You" bandit vlogger; it also only returned 11 results!
Similarly baffling when I searched 2 keywords; no quotes or special syntax; just pizzagate pedogate. And YT returned a small fraction of the results it does with only one of those words! :|~

Re: Making money on Youtube
I did this: pizzagate -"What They Won't Tell You"
and got 239,000 results
And don't see that text in my results ?
I have 1 match to that username on results Page 3 then nothing inclusive of results Page 6.
I see lots of A Call for an uprising. I'll run a test excluding them.
Still 239,000 results.
No hits to page 6 for "A call for an Uprising" but 3 - 4 hits per page of results on "What they wont tell you" from results Page 2 through 6.
So it seems like it's really tight on some users and not so tight on others. Perhaps WTWTY gets special immunity?

Re: Making money on Youtube
^ I was doing the "Today" filter, so I'd get a few hundred results. I did your same pizzagate -"What They Won't Tell You" search, then applied the Today filter; 273 results. I only went back 3 pages of results, but no WTWTY. :) Without your boolean search, there'd be several WTWTY bandit re-ups every page.
I didn't enclose WTWTY in quotes before, when I only got 11 results.
What do you make of YT's ghosting comments? It seems to me they're "sneaky" about it, leading the commenters to believe their comment is visible to all. This means the vlogger has to approve/moderate your comments? That vid in my reply #18 above, says he's forced to approve every new commenter, but you could approve them once, & after their junk would go straight through. But his gripe was, he didn't have it set this way! His vlogger handle is #Pizzagate, so that prolly attracts extra YT scrutiny/censorship. But he also has very few subs/views.
-
Re: Making money on Youtube
yes I definitely think they manipulate both the YT channel creator and the commenters. Subs don't show up. Strange fluctuations in published sub numbers and views. I've also heard new post alerts don't get through to subscribers for some channels. All sorts of shenanigans.
Some issues are clearly manufactured by YT, however I think sometimes things like sub numbers can be explained by the timing of recalculations being done against databases. It may be that some statistics are updated in batches rather than real time. So Subscriber numbers or view statistics might not be instantly updated but done on another trigger, such as uploading a new video or logging into the channels back end to look at stats etc... or maybe just a scheduled time. Some kind of order might be applied. Oldest accounts first, highest subscribers first, highest views first. Country X then Y then Z. It could be any number of priorities.

Re: Making money on Youtube
Seems like the party is over at YT. Content makers are reporting between 40% and 50% drops in ad revenue. Advertisers are pulling their budgets because their ads are appearing with hate speech and fake news content.

Re: Making money on Youtube
^ 20k views... that's a lot! I doubt that's true, as it would rule out, guessing 95+ percent of "monetized" vids! Any YT vlogger is doing quite above average if they can break, guessing again, 10k sub's.
There've been too many vloggers I follow to list here, who've put up vids bemoaning jootube's demonetization of their not (((PC))) viewpoint videos.... ostensibly in response to an abrupt & unanimous array of YT corporate ad buyers who all had the same thought at the same time, about not wanting their product/service appearing "alongside not (((PC))) videos!" :o
Obvious sham 'reason'; and obviously a 'deep state' orchestrated clamp down on free speech, masquerading as a capitalist (advertiser) response to 'deplorable' thought/speech... similar to deep state's whole "Fake News Crisis" psyop in response to the tip of the pizza-pedogate iceberg emerging last Fall... which all the (((big social/media corps))) instantly fell into line with "fighting."
David Seaman's put up a few such vids, calling for an investigation of joogle-tube as unlawful monopoly. Seaman shows his "benign ignorance" here again though, as he imagines joogle-tube (& FB, twitter) to be a private corp in the capitalist model, rather than the arm of the deep state which they are!

Re: Making money on Youtube
I guess the really really big yt money makers are not going to be the kinds of subjects that many on this forum would be really in to. Certainly not me as one who is trying to be not conformed to this world system, materialism etc, as much as possible.
I find certain yt subject areas interesting and psychologically healthy such as homesteading, off grid living, survival / preparedness and I like traditional Catholic sites that explain traditional Catholic teaching like True Restoration and novus ordo watch channels.
There is a subset of homesteading subjects by those hosts/channels that are part of the
http://www.thehomesteadnetwork.com/channels/
These homesteading/preparendness channels started slow with their channels but then got bigger and bigger subscribes and views and realized they could bring in pretty good yt income from their farm / homestead operations, especially of homesteaders who do not have outside regular job income but rely solely on small fixed income and their homesteading production income -- like from about $300 t0 $1000 a month. But they have to start doing at least one video a day to keep up the income and that takes someone who can spend about two or three hours of each day filming / editing / uploading. So this homesteading topic area is never going to be a huge income stream for them but since it looks to me like making a living off of strictly what you produce on your smallish homestead is impossible, many of these people have started getting more and more into the yt channel / money making game, and they seem to accept click bait titles as legitimate part of the game.
What I have noticed is that the real tangible and important gains they get from doing these channels is that you establish "community" and relationships that translate to real face-to-face, real names, meetings and collaborations and help from nearby rural neighbors that they never would have known about because of yt. Sometimes people call for prayers. Sometimes people need help with animals or watching the farm while they have to be away on emergency etc. Sometimes calls for money donations seem legitimate like poor hardworking homesteaders who have bad storm damage their greenhouse plastic covering or whatever. So all of that seems good to me but it is not cyber kind of good - but connecting real people that you can meet with and help each other in real life.
As for my traditional Catholic teaching channels, well that is not about yt money at all and I would not watch any that ever got in to that.
But since I am an infojunkie and have eye probs so can't read much anymore, like audio video format for my junkie needs.
I find the more a channel owner gets hooked on making yt money, the lower quality the content is for my need to learn facts and truth, not audio/visual eye candy stuff. I think there need to be new platforms for poorer people to somehow get income from their video production efforts but whole yt way is no good.
What is so funny is that the yt channels I like do not seem to realize that we are the kind of audience that is divorcing from PayPal, GoFundMe, Amazon, and Patreon because it requires automatic recurring credit card debits. They need to accept one time donations purchases of items via a snail mail method but most don't catch on to that.
In a way, accepting money from youtube as a channel owner is looking more immoral to me everyday because it is like taking money from Soros.
It is so easy to see how YT is controlling content on certain channels. Just watch certain subjects are religiously not mentioned at all or are dealt with an non-objective agendized manner.
I have heard that number of views on a specific video is where the money is, not subscriptions and likes. I have also heard that ad money income depends on viewing the ENTIRE ad, but not clicking to go to the ad site. Do not know what facts are on that info but yt has changed a lot in last six months and it is clear yt is into destroying First Amendment free speech. Those who want big yt money will have play their game and work their system and sacrifice First Amendment for bucks.
I really do not buy the idea that individual corporate advertisers are squawking about their ads being placed on certain kinds of subject sites. No this yt game is connected to CIA/Corporations THEM kinds of games. Corporations and businesses are no longer going to make much via advertising. It will be more about whether Big Brother deems that their business can still exist - fascism American style.
Desperate need for non-youtube platforms that are impervious from infiltration and takeover by THEM. I see more of a month to month subscription of reasonble amount that does not require automatic recurring debits and credit card charges or several month subscription up front. Somehow asking for donations or selling stuff needs to be kept separate from video production and subscriptions. Red Ice, audio only, seems to do a good job on this for now.

Re: Making money on Youtube
I think the reference in lyrics to Moonlight says a lot.
Most people think songs are, well just songs. But in reality most are hymns. If you read the lyrics you can't really conclude otherwise.
some obvious ones,
Hotel California
Stairway to heaven
Original sin
Sacrifice
obviously anything ""death metal"
I sound like one of those old Biddies from the 1950's but unfortunately they were right.

Google Is Destroying YouTube w/ Algorithmic Censorship
Separately, anyone know if after a vlogger up's a video, chooses the title, & fills in any "More info", do they still have the ability to change the title later on? Ditto more info? Coz I see one re-upper, "Intense 5" who's fond of putting the "BREAKING..." clickbait buzzword in their titles, inappropriateness be damned. So are they stuck with that, or can they change it later on? Looking back over Intense 5's stolen & sexed/clickbaited-up vid cache, they either can't change it, or have no interest... and given that they're well aware the real vid creator's 'story' is no longer 'breaking' by the time intense gets around to DL & re-upping it, that same premeditated deceptiveness obviously means they'll never be amending their "BREAKING..." lie. But, CAN THEY?
I tried to filter Intense 5 out of my daily P*Gate searches, but for some reason adding their particular handle to the list, causes the whole search to return zero results. Remove their handle, search works again. :(??

Re: Making money on Youtube
I cannot comment on what yt channel owners can or cannot do but I am getting so disgusted with YouTube and the Click bait that I have started making a list of yt channels never for which to open videos.
Seaman is getting pretty bad as far as not ever really covering Pizzagate or Pedogate. Lately he is getting back at Eric Schmidt of Google/YouTube for cutting his YT income, and he has made the point several times that Schmidt admits having been the engineer or planner of the whole Hillary Clinton campaign strategy, a strategy that miserably failed. Seaman also makes the point that Podesta's consulting/ public relations company or whatever it is had a big contract with Eric Schmidt / Google, a contract that ended sometime in 2016. So Seaman kind of throws these facts out as a way to explain why Schmidt YT is angry and it doing all these ugly algo games and why Schmidt does not want YT to have anything about exposing PIZZAgate or Pedogate on yt because there is fact that Google was paying Podesta company large amounts of money in that contract.
The implication is that Schmidt and Podesta were good friends and that they were approving, and perhaps participants, in each other's "social behaviors", but Seaman only makes veiled implications but sticks to facts on the surface.
There is a woman named Natasha yt channel who is on the Trump train and she makes the point that yt is actually stealing millions of dollars from the producers/yt channel owners. I am not clear exactly how that works in the transfer of money to yt's coffers from the ad revenue but it seemed like an important matter. She claims the whole way YT and Google are set up as corporations is unusual and has allowed them to get away with some very civilly unlawful shenanigans, also something that needs to be investigated.

that's the point of my YT P*Gate search excluding a list of 'terms'; in this case, the channel names I want it to filter out of the search results. Brush up on "Boolean search", https://duckduckgo.com/?q=boolean+search&t=ffab&ia=web
Click my search, and notice the YT search box on the results page begins with *pizzagate, the keyword I'm searching. The asterisk '*' is a wildcard, so there can be a # sign before pizzagate or not, the wildcard will pick up both instances.
then after that, it's a bunch of channel names, each preceded by a minus sign (aka hyphen). If the channel name has a space in it anywhere, then the whole name must be inside quotation marks. If channel has no spaces, then the minus sign followed by the single word (sans quote marks) is sufficient. Place a blank space between each excluded channel name.
my YT PG search above, which also filters for "Today", presently returns 33 results. When I remove all the excluded channel names, & use the same "Today" filter, IE https://www.youtube.com/results?q=%2...IIAg%253D%253D -- it presently returns 49 results. So that's 16 clickbait bandit vids which I was spared having to sift through, and/or maybe view a bit of before realizing they're old BS. :)
test this out, do your favorite YT search which returns a bunch of clickbait bandits, pick one of their handles, amend your search as described above where your exclude the bandit's channel name, and see if they're still in the results page or not.

Its a good question. I don't know the answer myself but I have noticed that some channels simply steal and re-upload another channels content, as if it is their own.
What I have seen is that If the original content producer discovers their content has been stolen, they sometimes change their original. They can certainly change the thumbnail, but I don't recall if they have been able to change the title. I also don't know if they do this by editing what is uploaded or if they are deleting/replacing what is already on line.
The altered content is in the same place / time line as the original but that doesn't tell us if they are able to replace something or only edit it. It's probable thumbnails are separate images to the video file, not selected frames within the video. I've noticed with the Worst Fails, stupidest idiots, dumbest drivers etc videos, the thumbnails are not taken from the content but unrelated.

Re: Making money on Youtube
^ the thumbnails are definitely a diff image file now; the steal, sex-up & re-up bandits are expert at the enticing thumbnail images. AFAIK, in YT's older daze, they automatically took the center-most frame from the full duration of the vid (obviously with some default instruction if the vid had an even # of total frames), and that was the thumbnail. Now any image file the vlogger specifies can be the thumb; though I believe when the vlogger doesn't specify any image file for the thumb, YT still defaults to grabbing that middle video frame.
Back in the mid/late '00s when I paid attention to 911blogger.com, someone made an instructional blog there telling how to edit a 911T vid for YT uploading, where the center split-second of run time, was a still image of say, a hot babe or something enticing. Then upload with a misleading title, and in combination with what would appear as the thumbnail, you could reel in thousands of peeps who would then find themselves watching say, WTC7's CD, with commentary. At the center of the duration, that split-second sexy still image would flash by. 911Blogger user who made this instructional blog said a few obligatory words about the "ethical question"; and of course rationalized that this is an info war, after all... which I was sympathetic to, in that specific case. :cool: The (((JSM))) who the click-dupes got all their 911/warrenterra-hoax beliefs from, are knowing & premeditating deceivers, right? Fire with fire; ethics rules is for fools, when the opponent/enemy ignores them! >:D

Yes the number of bikini bum thumbnails that have resulted in disappointment is immeasurable.
Here's a way to make money on YT. Crash your motorbike for the second time sending you to hospital for months....again. Then sell T shirts and start a Go Fund me. Tough luck to the porsche guy who's car you wrecked.

It has now become crystal clear that the You Tube 'Adpocalypse' is just phase one of a far more sinister plan to sabotage successful You Tube channels in order to kill competition, robber Barron style, so that the corporate, legacy and mainstream media can yield more power, control and eyeballs on You Tube. What's being done to the SGT Report You Tube channel can be quantified by alarming statistics which prove, the fix is in. As John D. Rockefeller famously boasted, "Competition is a sin."

Re: Making money on Youtube
I think YT are simply keeping the money. I don't think advertisers are pulling that many spots. They are probably removing subscriptions along with hitting the stats of channels, views, likes, shares, new video alerts, eyeball times etc. This will keep those channels low in their algorithms for whats trending, popular etc.
There's a new alternative based on P2P / torrent type platform. Gab is also out of beta testing. Haven't tried it yet because I'm not really into twittering but I think it will get some level of traction even if it's not really going to challenge the big ones. The issue I see is getting the message out to the ignorant won't be possible if you're not using the same channels the ignoramuses are using.

I think YouTube AND the corporate sponsors are one and same entity. THEY both intend to CONTROL the ideas and entertainment of the masses. It is not about money at this point. We know THEIR game.
David Seaman is putting videos on a new video platform but can't think of its name right now but he says the one bad thing about it is that it is owned by Twitter and really Twitter is in with the same YouTube game -- Limiting our choices and eliminating our exposure to the free and open exchange of information -free speech.
