So I got it...The dreaded 'You Suck' email from YouTube and their 'partner program'.
Nothing says 'we care' more than a big middle finger to their content creators.
So I'm done.
I never intended YouTube to be a platform I would use to build a platform with. But Dtube...Now that's another story :)
This platform is a much better place for me. It's something I actually believe in and feel like it's just scratching the surface of what it will become.
So see ya' YouTube....Glad to know I mattered to ya lol

I feel you man. This morning I woke up and thought the same. Now I'm thinking about Amazon's alternative to YouTube. Jeff Bezos announced it last year.
Sucks. I put in a lot of work on those videos and it just wasn't good enough for them.
Dtube is the future ! Soon everyone will move there , everyone is pissed from youtube. Keep it up man :)
Thanks very much. Yeah it is. I'm done with Google lol Dtube is a much better game plan for content creators I think.
You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!
It sucks as I was waiting to be monetized over on Youtube as I had hit over 10,000 views but It had been taking months. Now I know why. I only have 201 subs on Youtube so It's going to be a long long gtime before I now become monetised on Youtube but I'm happy to work for It as I enjoy making videos.
I am glad that I also have a Dtube channel for a backup plan as the future of Dtube and Steemit Is looking hopeful and I may find more success over here :)
For the meantime I will continue my Youtube channel also.
I hear ya. I enjoy it too and the best part is when I do a video and someone lets me know it helped them. So I see the need for things like YouTube but for me, Dtube can do the exact same things and they are going to grow and get better each and every day. Without shareholders and executives to answer to lol
I love It when people actually find enjoyment In my videos. Either way both platforms are exposure to me :)
Damn, that sucks. I feel like YouTube has a place for certain celebrity type of entertainers but for the most part, d tube is better for everyone else that wants to hone their craft and build a community around their passion. You will thrive bro!!
Thanks man. Yeah exactly. The a-list celebrities and YouTube stars have the positions and obviously YouTube wants to cater to them first. Dtube is kinda for...Everyone else and I think the potential to make a much bigger impact for people starting out is found here. Appreciate the comments sir always!
You suck! and so do I. I woke up to that email today and all I have is Minecraft Gaming channel. You can read about my views at https://steemit.com/youtube/@kreezxil/bye-bye-youtube

Oh and I forgot to add that I subscribed and upvoted you too! We can all suck together! I love DTUBE! I should've jumped on it back when it was version 0.1 but I didn't see this thing Youtube/Google was about to pull.
On a related note anyone with Gmail might have noticed decreased functionality. Is there a Steemit email thing? If there is I sure would be interested in it.
Ha ha ha ha Nice, welcome to the 'We Suck YouTube Says So' Club. That would be interesting huh....Decentralized email lol Thanks for the comments and upvotes, Much appreciated!
Well, there you go. I suspect you will be much better off for it in the very near future. The King is dead. Long live the King!
But it still sucks to have somebody that you are providing content to tell you to FO. I'll sweet guarantee that they are monetizing your account.
Oh no doubt about it. They'll run the ads, just the content creators dont get a cut anymore. Not that it was much of a cut to begin with LOL
Jon you just are not a rock star, dang sun you have to move to nuttywood to be liked by utube. Dtube makes more sense for most sane people.
LOL Thanks man. Appreciate the comments sir! Working on it :)
YouTube just lost its flavour and I'll bet most people feel the same way, here's to DTube.
Amen to that man! Completely agree!
Yup I got the same email Jon as I am sure countless others have. And like You I was using Youtube for promotions to build my lists etc.
Yeah, and I can do that with Dtube, just trying to figure out their embed codes if they have them yet.
There is embed code's. The thing is trying to figure out how to get them to autoplay on squeeze pages.
