YouTube Demonetizing Videos Bring Vloggers To Steemit

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

With YouTube taking away more of our income, people are flocking to steemit, the new online community. I am seeing more and more people leaving YouTube, looking for a new place to settle in.

I work mostly with homesteaders and we seem to have taken a very bad hit with the new YT updates and demonetization of our videos. It seems like every second video gets banned from advertising these days.

People with large and small channels alike are taking a loss with the new YT software in place. We work hard to get a video online for your free viewing entertainment and then YT blocks it from advertising.

So it is like someone who has a 9 - 5 job, five days a week. The person is doing the same amount of work but the pay is reduced by about 1/2 or more.

And YouTube is making it ever harder for content creators to make it. They put more demands on us if we want our videos to be found in search results but then it seems like they are making it impossible for us to keep up with their demands.

Take video demonetization for example. YouTube tells us that we should upload a video every day and release it at the same time each day. But then they block our video from monetization. We worked hard to get that video up. So we make it private and put in a request for a manual review. 24 to 48 hours later the video is accepted. But now we are two days behind on our daily videos.

So YouTube told us to upload the video ahead of time and let the computer algorithm do its thing. Then, by the time we are ready to make the video live, it has run its course and is approved for monetization.

But the problem is that the video sits there all happy with green lights. So I make the video live and all is well. Later in the day the video has been labeled as "not suitable for all advertisers" and blocked from running ads. My income for the day is lost while I put in a dispute.

Basically I worked for free on that day.

And I am not alone in this. There are thousands of people going through the same thing.

So what do we do?

Many are coming to steemit. There is no censorship, no person in control. There are no algorithms which decide our fates. It is all about content creation. And that is what YouTubers are good at.

I foresee steemit growing more and more as people continue to flee the sinking YT ship.

I will continue to make my daily YT videos but with less enthusiasm.

Steemit is the way to go these days.

Tell me what you think.

Have you come here from YouTube due to failing monetization?

Sort:  

I'm with you on that.youtube is not you any more.

Since then, I have moved my videos over to DIY Tube Video Community which pays for video views, comments and thumbs up. http://www.diytube.video

They pay in DIY Tube Coins which are a cryptocurrency based on the Ethereum blockchain.

@thediyworld

What is the value of these coins in relation to the dollar?

https://etherdelta.com/#0x141797bca73ad90844d88105c8fdd8acb4c75b48-ETH

1,250,000 of your fake coins = 0.001 ethereum which is $0.37 USD, so their real value is
$0.000000296...

But you are trying to scam people into paying you $0.05 each for them which is a markup (aka ripoff) of 168918.9189189189%...

Nice little scam you got going there @thediyworld ....

FBD Brought to you by.jpg

@thediyworld, I noticed you up-voted your own post here just to make ten cents from borrowed SP.

More proof how you are a corrupt person.
Nobody in their right mind will post their videos on that DIY tube site,
much less expect to get paid by you too.

Sadly not. Not anymore. And they say its all about the creator but yet they dont open up to us about what is going on.

Its like having your boss upset with you but he wont tell you why. Just keeps docking your pay while you keep trying to guess what is wrong.

Frustrating.

youtube is your employer and for you to badmouth the hand that feeds you is not smart. Moving to steemit hasn't been profitable so you are still relying on youtube for income. Has nobody mentioned to you how bad this looks for you as an employee? In the real world you would be fired.

Well, your name says it all. The word "lies" fits you well.

YouTube is not my employer. I am self employed. YouTube is a program.

A platform where I share my work.

On my own time.

Voluntarily.

I am not going to fire myself so dont worry.

Run along now.

That's not true, you have said repeatedly that YT/Google pays your bills.

Which part is not true?

I am self employed - that is true.

The check from YT/Google pays my bills. That is true.

You can be self employed and do freelance work.

I once worked full time for a company as a freelancer. Full time pay but I was my own boss.

@thediyworld "I am self employed - that is true.

The check from YT/Google pays my bills. That is true.

You can be self employed and do freelance work.

I once worked full time for a company as a freelancer. Full time pay but I was my own boss."

your ENTIRE comment here is CONFLICTING. you are self employed but google pays you? if you were self employed your CUSTOMERS would pay you and google is NOT a customer.

if you are self employed then you cant claim to do freelance work because that insinuates you are freelancing on your self which is retarded. the term freelance refers to you being employed by someone else to do a particular job but you do the same job on the side for yourself though your boss doesn't know.

i know reading comprehension is hard for you so get your mommy to explain this to you...

I amso mad that youtube isnt listening to you and your problems , and it's a shame , a downright shame that even after you get your pay check from YOU TUBE/GOOGLE you can not even buy a 3 dollar box of screws ,is there any way you could make an unfair labor practice suit against them .

@thediyworld "YouTube is not my employer. I am self employed. YouTube is a program."

youtube is not a program it is a COMPANY OWNED BY GOOGLE!

according to youtube posting videos is NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A BUSINESS OR EMPLOYMENT and you should NOT rely on it for a JOB! you do not own any company nor are you your own boss. you are simply someone who refuses to accept they are jobless and an ebegger. anyone with a brain would have quit what you refuse to quit once figuring out they cant make enough to support their family.

Again, you harass me to no end.

I am happy with my work.

You have no right to tell me how or where I can or cannot work.

@thediyworld disagreeing with you is not harassment. and i never told you how or where to work. you seriously need to learn reading comprehension. it is the bases of majority of your trouble.

Troy Reid is just a beggar trying to con money from people. He's pissed off because YouTube realizes he is just a conman.

He doesn't mention all the viewers that contact advertisers on his site and tell them how deceitful and dishonest troy is. Most eventually reply with a nice letter stating they looked into it and no longer allow their advertisements to be shown on his site. So troy blaming google or youtube is not fair to them. The little people have a say in this and the system works well.

Words from a trolls mouth. A new account I see.

All we do is make daily videos of our lives on the homestead.

Everyone here can see that for themselves.

WHEN WILL YOU HAVE THE GIVEAWAY FOR THE FLASHLIGHT YOU PROMISED TWO MONTHS AGO? By NOT having your giveaway as promised you are in violation of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). What you've done is classic bait-and-swtich.

Well, I am sure that you have already turned me in.

I do things when I want and not when trolls demand.

And everyone knows what comes out of your mouth Troy. It's normally flushed away. If you made video of your daily life it would consist of you whining that people are picking on you. Con men always want to be left alone to lie cheat and steal.

Troy - I agree with you - YT is a sinking ship with their new algorithms, de-monetizing videos, and removing their own tools such as the most important (in my opinion) video editor.

I came here thanks to your video, where you have mentioned about Steemit, and thank you very much for it.

I already was on YT and Patreon, but there is no place as good and rewarding as Steemit.

Seeing the future same as you, I can tell, that our steps on this platform will bring us more than we are expecting.

See you in next great posts - Troy :)

Thank you. I do think that steemit is going to be the next big thing. Most of the other platforms are running down slowly.

That is true. Looking at Steemit I hope to see it running for long, long time with nothing but growth, improvement and success.

PS: Have you seeing my latest post on how to be happy? Sorry for mentioning this here, but I believe, that you(as all other people including myself) deserve to be more happy.

Nope, steemit cannot sustain itself under the present plan. Most creators are being led to spend their money on more stuff on this site. With no advertisers you gotta wonder where the money comes from. But then If you don't want to get a job and are easily duped this is a good platform

All the people that create content are saying it. Some are staying and many are moving on with their lives. Whether YT is making money off the content or just from mined data from the users and creators alone I'm not sure. Steemit has a much better idea and plan for rewarding the creators and curators. Yt may find they are no longer competitive if they are not careful.

Yeah YT will go the way of Sears, KMart and Radio Shack. It's like they cutting they own throat, why would ah company do that kind of thing?

I am not sure if YT still makes money off our videos when they block us from advertising. But I can be sure that they are not making as much money as before.

It looks like they are on a path to self destruction. I just dont get why. They were doing so well up to a couple years ago.

I love steemit and hope it is the new way to go. I will keep making YT videos until it dies though.

Lets see.

yes eating rotten food and living in poverty has worked out well for you. When your employer Youtube decides your channel is not making them money they will drop you like a brick. It would seem flipping burgers would be a more stable income but then nobody ever accused you of being smart. Right?

advertisers are being more demanding on which sites their ads play. If your site is not a good match for them they tell google not to use your site. Simple

With Twitter dropping accounts and now YT doing this. I got Two words 'Big Brother.'

Yeah, some people think so. I am not sure what to think on that point but it sure looks like some sort of discrimination.

I am working on a video hosting site of my own. I will invite anyone who wants to join when its ready. I will share revenue like YT used to do.

"I will share revenue like YT used to do"
That's hilarious, says the one with 3k+ SP but still using free bots. How are you going to pay them? SBD? Or a rubber check?
You sure are a dreamer.....

Well, I do not expect everyone to jump on board.

But I think that many will.

I find it ironic that you complain about my SP while, at the same time, you continue to harass me although you made it clear you hate me and my blog. I had to borrow SP in order to fight the down vote war of your friends on all my work.

Hey drama queen, you can stop putting words quoted by me that are made up in your fantasy mind. Never was said. You don't know my friends either.

Back to the 3k+ SP and free bots.....I think that Original works was created to help those starting out with low SP. Not for someone, even with rented power, as high as you. Some in the community would consider that raping from the steemit pool.

Again, if you hate me so badly, as you have clearly let me know, then your harassment of me does not look good on you.

I had to rent SP to fight the down votes I get.

And you always complain about it while hanging with the people who do that to me.

Interesting.

Just go away.

You're right everyone should go away and let you wither away on the vine. Seems like your trolls are the only ones commenting on your blog.

You were not supposed to rent sp to flag people and upvote yourself. Supposed to curate the community. When does your rent end? 1 more week? Or will you be renting more since you like to cheat the system?

More putting words in my mouth never uttered, you're something else........

Again Troy you invited me here! I'm still waiting to make this money that you said we were going to make so I'm in it for the Long Haul

downvoting is a tool invented by steemit to rid this site of bad and unscrupulous members. Nothing wrong with letting a member know that you are fed up with the deceit and lies they have brought to this site. I bet the good sites love the ability of viewers to up or down vote content.

Have you noticed your entire viewing audience are the people you call trolls? What happened to the troy lovers you recently begged to come to steemit? Not a one showed up. Could it be that this is yet another failed venture like all the others in your past? Yes that's it

a little baby that thinks he is owed help by steemit for putting out crap videos full of deceit and lies. This is how he has lived his life almost 50 years and its still what can my country do for me type thinking. Poor Poor troy, never learned.

@thediyworldTroy How will you share the revenue? Would that be the folding stuff - real dollars? Or will it be that cryptocurrency crap that most online criminals deal in?

Well now this is not the right place to be bad mouthing like that.

Much like you say of Youtube.

What kind of currency will it be, Mr Scammer?

All we do is make videos of our daily lives on the homestead.

Everyone can see that for themselves.

If you dont like us then leave.

But harassing us online and in the real world is criminal.

Well now this is not the right place to be bad mouthing like that. That is steemit gold right there. You abuse the system and have 4 accts and don't spread it around to help others but borrow power to downvote all of which is against the rules but you find it abusive for a viewer to give his opinion?

Trying to move youtube watchers over hear to steemit is against youtube rules but you have never had a problem with rules have you? You just disregard them. To be an honest person you should close out your youtube account and rely on steemit since you are calling all your viewers to come here. Not ready to do that are you? Two faced is really what you are.

Last I knew YouTube did not have control over our lives.

I am not telling anyone to leave YouTube anyway.

I am talking about those who already did leave.

Big difference.

And I am not posting this on YouTube. This is steemit.

As I said, I am not leaving YouTube anyway.

Again, your name fits you well. The word "lies" fits nicely.

@thediyworld apparently youtube has control over your life lol as you repeatedly claim you cant quit youtube lol...

Apparently I have control over your life as you cant leave me alone.

@thediyworld apparently you have no reading comprehension skills...

Yes, its troyreidlies and the name is very appropriate for you. You are displaying your really bad comprehension skills again. You have youtube videos complaining of youtube and how they are messing with your income. Other sites have commented that you can't say that on youtube and you know that. You also told in your videos that you are moving to steemit and wanted everyone to follow you ( no one did). You also say you will build a site for displaying your own videos. You said this on a youtube video. What you are doing is against youtube policy and you know it but you never let rules get in your way. Biting the hand that feeds you is never good. Its like spitting in your boss's face and not understanding why he fired you. Not smart

another lie, you have stated in video that you are not happy with your employer- youtube/google and are in the process of building a competitive site and you asked your viewers to follow you to steemit. Bad memory troy and more lies

the world is waiting for another troy fuckaroo. You will never get this off the ground and profitable. You don't have the brains or the reputation to pull this off. It will just be another trash can to store your sorry deceitful videos

Make it so you can kick out the Haters and I'll be there.

YouTube appears to have over commercialized itself. Becoming far to similar to television. Commercials on repeat or pay more money. It soon will be replaced.

I agree. They even have some of the commercials louder than the video. As if I am going to get up and walk away from a 30 second commercial.

I have to jump up and mute it before they blow my speakers. Just like TV.

I think they are on a downward spiral. It started a couple years ago.

That is what adblock is for. I haven't watched a commercial in many years. You should try it, most of your viewers use it and we love it. Buying crap speakers is stupid and don't you have a remote to control the volume?


Quit your whining you crybaby.

Hey boy, dont be telling us to go away, we havent got started yet.
Now is our payback time for all the comments you have deleted.
All the blocking of our channels.
We are here to have our say before you fall so we dont have long so please dont tell us to go away because we arnt going anywhere so lets get on with the show.

More whining!

More of his shit he left behind in Pine Bush.

More on Reids ebegging and his narcissism.

More of your made up lies. That was not even from Pine Bush and you know it.

Sooooo Turd, are you saying thats not your Tiny Shit Shack at 1:10?

@thediyworld that was most definitely your old place in pine bush. just stop the lies troy.

@thedarkdestroyer ........................ I REALLY HATE TO TELL TROY THIS BUT ...................... AS A 30 YEAR CHRYSLER/DODGE MASTER SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND ALSO A NATIONALLY CERTIFIED MASTER TECHNICIAN THROUGH ... ASE .... AUTOMOBILE SOCIETY OF SERVICE EXCELLENCE ............ A 1995 DODGE DAKOTA ....... NEVER EVER CAME WITH A 4.0 LITRE V6 ENGINE IT EITHER HAD A 3.9 LITRE V6 OR A 5.2/5.9 LITER V8.................... ONLY .

well said. We have too much invested here to just walk away.

Go away troll

I was invited here by you and I'm very happy here. Telling me to leave is unfair and not in your control.

Steemit is the future youtube will be left in the past ! ;)

If YT does not get their act together I fear you are correct. YT being in the past, that is.

OMG Troy you may have to get a JOB and support your family your viewers paid and have been paying for

Watching a video for free that I put on YouTube does not mean you pay for me.

Actually, if you want to get technical, the advertisers pay, not YT and not you.

And I like my job, thank you.

no @thediyworld youtube google adsense is based on VIEWERS CLICKING THE ADS AND WATCHING THEM! you dont just get free money from the advertisers. they can run ads all day on your videos but if no one clicks on them or watches them then you get NOTHING. so YES troy in a sense the VIEWERS PAY FOR YOU! you REALLY need to learn how things work.

it helps to contact advertisers seen on his videos and tell them how dishonest troy is. Us little people do have a say.

@thediyworld.... which is why i always watch your videos on you tube with ad block on ........ no ads seen no payout, but then of course i watch all you tube with ad block on , so dont feel like i was being mean to you .

idiot if no viewers watched advertisers would treat you like the plague and run then you would get no ad sense money. So we the viewers pay. You have the world in your little pea brain all messed up.

I'm sorry but I couldn't even finish reading, no-one leaving YouTube, pics or didn't happen. pewdiepie created an account and we haven't seen yet? Everyone just posting there and here just to dream to get some STEEM, kek.

I know a lot of homesteaders that have left or are leaving YouTube. Even pewdiepie said he was considering leaving at one time.

I will keep making my videos but its not going to be my main source of income anymore.

You just cant trust them anymore.

Its you that can't be trusted. Do you think its ok by youtube rules to try to sway viewers onto a competitors site? It is not. You should just delete your youtube account since you feel they are not being fair to you.

Actually I think that steemit and YT work well together. I post my videos on YT and then share them on steemit.

Both grow due to my work.

Its a win - win for both.

Troy doesn't follow rules that's why he has four accounts on here! And his wife's name mommy and daddy's name

Your sentence does not make sense but yeah, what if my family have accounts and I help them?

Is that evil of me?

They have nothing to do with the accounts and never were meant to. You told a viewer to find people and use their phone # and email acct and open several steemit accts. You did exactly that and have admitted that its against the rules. You are the only one that handles all these accounts so they are fraudulent. You lie and scheme and make up the rules you want to follow. The is very evil of you. Did you also notice you just brought your family into this when you have been telling us to leave them out of it?

Nope you want to make the rules and mooch off one while dogging the one that actually supports your family. You have yet to see a dime of steemit money.

what is reid? LIKE GETTING A JOB! OR STEPPING UP YOUR EBEGGING,CON ARTIST GAME?

We make videos of our daily lives on the homestead.

There is no begging in our videos.

Anyone can see that for themselves.

And who are you to tell me where I can and cannot work?

I like my job.

You have a donate button on your channel. You have a donate button on your website. You have asked for donations before in your videos. That is begging. And while we don't have the right to tell you where to work, it IS our right to draw conclusions. One conclusion I have is that you're lazy because your family lives in squalor and you refuse to do something about it. That makes you a bum.

I have donate buttons like YouTube told me to do.

I was at the creator academy. YouTube suggests people do that.

Funny thing is that doc, the man you worship, has a donate button.

I dont see you harassing him for his donate button.

And you will NEVER see me ask for donations on video.

We are happy here.

And I like my job. I work hard for my money. Harder because you guys try to destroy our lives in the real world and brag about it.

Gee, it's one of the few times in your life someone told you to do something and you actually did it. AMAZING. Did YouTube also tell you to put a donate button on your website front and center? Did they suggest you shake down your viewers for donations to buy a new house? Did they suggest you beg for money to bring Melanie back from the Phillipines? As for Doc, I don't know who the hell he is. I bumped into him in a conversation once, and quite frankly, I think he is an ass. I don't need "Doc" to think you're a bum. You do quite nicely on your own, Troy. You're a fraud, a beggar, and you contribute very little to society. I truly feel sorry for your wife and kid.

no @thediyworld there is NO donate button on my channels. in fact there is only a paypal.com button. it does not say donate. so once again you are FALSELY ACCUSING ME AGAIN! despite your claims of never making accusations!
here is PROOF:
OOOO.jpg

THERE ARE MANY REASONS TO HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT TROY! IT DOES NOT SAY DONATE!

No begging ? Are we watching the same videos that you're making? Or are we talking about different videos

No, I dont think you are on the right page.

your memory sucks. Remember the chicken fence, the get Ming home, buy Ming clothes? That is all on video.

you like working for peanuts? As a family man that is a very self centered attitude. Ever thought about getting a paying job and using this as a hobby with a tiny income? The begging is what made you famous on youtube. To now say there is no begging in our videos is pure crap and you know it. The begging got your chicken fence and lots of toys and bought your wife and paid for clothes once she got here. Those are the big ones but anytime you wanted something you hinted at it in your videos and poof, it came in the mail. Your memory sucks.

Not one homesteader has left. You think by dragging them into your problem you will sound bigger than you are. No homesteader wants to be associated with you

You of all people using the word TRUST is precious. You are the least trustworthy site of steemit or youtube.

Don't get me wrong, I'm 101% on decentralization. But d.tube is not there yet. It has huge flaws right now, there are some alternatives like lbry(more like vimeo tho) etc and they have their own flaws. I hope someday someone will come up with a brilliant solution. I don't like steem's strategy for now, whale's can easily make their own whales. If you even create good content it might not get what it's worth here right now. Maybe and probably steem develop in time. With bots, with pools, with other weird stuff going background, they can't be a home for creators.

I tried d-tube and not much happened. My only complaint is that you only get 7 days of earnings and then nothing.

I do love steemit though. I understand the system and know that there are whales. But, like America, anyone can grow up to be a whale. Who am I to deny them that?

I want to grow up to be a whale one day.

It is hit and miss here. Some of my stuff gets voted up nicely and some of my work gets nothing. But I think its about building community. The more you grow, the more consistently your work will be up voted.

I am working on a video sharing platform where I will share half of the income like YT used to do.

I will be writing about it when I am ready to release it to the public. It think there is a lot of need for it now.

You could call your new platform TurdTube.com, perfect name as it will be full of shit and then to follow you will have TurdTube.sucks!

or toilet tube because if anyone is stupid enough to follow trog on to it with their videos it will be like flushing them down the drain. I hope we can all follow him to his new site to help him get started.

You are correct because all you trolls will follow me.

@thediyworld......... WOW , you must really be a popular dude , i want to be more like you Troy. I mean if all of these people are always everyday coming to watch your YOU TUBE videos AND also coming here everyday to your STEEMY and commenting both at youtube and steemy , then you must be like the PIED PIPER OF TROLLS

It's been proven the tags, written descriptions and what is said in the video have to all be relevant to the content. There are a few other things that will cause a video to get demonetized, but you seem to know exactly what is the problem. No channels I watch have problems, so maybe it's the first three I mention, or the ones I don't. Either way, you uploading old content doesn't help your channel. Are you forever going to be 2 months behind?
Asking your YT viewers to come watch repeats is asking a bit much. When are you showing the health of your chickens.....been a long time now? Are they all crammed in that tiny cage still?

The stuff on my YouTube channel is updates fresh.

When I get people caught up on the homestead videos they will have current content as it is made (as I say in my articles on steemit). So there is no surprise there.

I am not just asking my viewers to come to my site. I am asking them to come to steemit, the community.

Dont single out one point out of a whole article.

The chickens are in the freezer. So yes, they are all crammed up in a tiny cage.

You can stop answering one point in a comment yourself. You should follow your own advice. How many of your YT viewers have you went to their blog posts and upvoted?

Why dont you stop harassing me?

Your true colors are showing here on steemit.

WHEN WILL YOU HAVE THE GIVEAWAY FOR THE FLASHLIGHT YOU PROMISED TWO MONTHS AGO?

@thediyworld QUOTE: Why dont you stop harassing me?
Your true colors are showing here on steemit.

So are yours, stop ducking the question. How many of your YT subs have you went to their blogs ,upvoted and commented? You have 2 videos telling viewers to come over, but have you went to their blogs yet, like dr bill's?

that means NONE

chickens are in the freezer. Just 2 days ago you said they are fine and pointed the camera at 1 surviving chicken. Now you say they are in the freezer to keep from having to show the filth and lack of a proper home for them. That freezer must be huge. Did you turn the garage into a walk in freezer? With all the deer you killed and the ton of fish and chickens in there and now produce I think you overloaded your ass and now no one is going to believe you put all that in one freezer. The freezer on the old side by side in the shack is vary small so it can't handle much as it it. I think you are deceiving your viewers the ones you depend on for income. Not smart.

I clicked on that link to the old shit videos the other day and opened just one at random.
Quess what, a convicted pedophile came on making a solar oven at Trogs place in the woods, everything about Troy William Reid is filthy shit.
Then the other day on I typed in google "bunshafter" after reading about bunshafting on his new google maps site then clicked on images and FM, everything from from the filthy fckers dead chickens to 7 piles of shit to his sister Daniel wearing just her under clothes was on there.
The whole of the Reid family have contaminated the internet with there filth and should be blocked, permanently.

More filth from a troll. And all the garbage you show was created by your troll friends.

You are the garbage king. You ruined a nice plot of land in NY and now you have broken your promise and put up tents and are piling shit everywhere. Now when you show the inside of the shack it is full of your garbage as well. When you talk about filthy trolls have you noticed the filth you live in? One video you picked up a doily and the dust and cat hair went flying. Look at your table- filth. Remember Ming Spring's cooking videos with all the crap on the counters as well as mouse shit? Trolls are cleaner than you are.

You know what this really proves?

That you guys have destroyed my name.

Thanks for sharing that fact to the World.

You and your family have desTROYed your own names.
You have uploaded the original content onto the internet in the first place.
Your sister has done the same thing, theres no way a troll could have uploaded the original content.
Once you have uploaded your filth, its there for the world to do what they want and not even the great narcissus Troy Turkey Head Reid can alter that!
You cant even stop us coming by here, you can destroy our usernames maybe, but like you said, you can borrow a friends phone and create another, maybe even four!

@thediyworld.................... holy moley troy , if all of this is coming up from just searching your name on google , which it does ,i checked , then that means that all of the nasty trolls have learned alot from you about ... search engine optimization ............... you should be teaching this as a course in college , imagine how much more they could learn from you in a clinical setting .

Its my name too and I'm fine with it. Don't rock the boat or they will abandon us.

Reid says: "I will continue to make my daily YT videos but with less enthusiasm."

Well, you are Not making them "daily" and when have you had enthusiasm?
That's why your views are tanking.
You have no meaningful content.

It is hunting season as I have clearly stated.

I am always out hunting this time of year.

I always have reduced content at this time of year.

Just part of a self sufficient lifestyle.

Have to provide meat for my family.

@thediyworld. You're not hunting. Last year at this time, you were on vacation in MI looking for a new home.
That's when everything froze back at the dumpstead1 and you blamed the mystery "caretaker".

The year before, you were in Canada having Xmas.

Your version of self sufficiency is living off others.

Wrong time - wrong season.

It was February. We moved here in April.

And we are doing just fine on our own.

Well, it would be better if you hounds got out of our lives and stopped trying to destroy us.

telling people the truth is trying to destroy you? Could you please explain

I have not one time hear any real truth from you trolls.

But hey - you are trolls

do you remember the cat crying video? Turned out when all you viewers even your loyal idiots said no that was a baby you eventually fessed up and said yes it was the baby but not before you dogged out everyone that commented on your lies.

you call the life you are living just fine? Even your wife's family in the Philippines is embarrassed for the lifestyle she is forced to live in the USA.

Really? Interesting you would know better than we do. Hmmm.

Again, things would be better without the harassment online and in the real world you guys put us through.

It is standard procedure- you buy a wife from a third world country and you are now obligated to send money to bring up their standard of living. Everyone knows that. Problem is in your case you brought the child bride to the US and is forcing her to live worse than she did back home and you are so poor you can't help her family. How is the $700 kids mini bike you bought while begging for money to buy your wife clothes?

You have not been hunting and your freezer is supposedly full. More lies troy, more lies. No mention of getting firewood since you said you were running out. But since its cold outside we understand you can't get cold.

I think you are lost.

This article is about YouTube and steemit.

I'm asking questions pertaining to your videos

What caliber is your muzzleloader?

So you can go hunting ok with your busted knee then?
How do you manage that?

Muzzle loading season is over.

What caliber is your muzzleloader?

the is code for IT'S COLD OUTSIDE SO I'M JUST SITTING IN THE SHACK ON THE COMPUTER 24/7. Since he won't show his freezer loaded with all the deer and chickens you can bet it is empty but at least we get to see him sweeping off his solar panels now and then.

I was invited here to Steemit by Troy Reid via two YT videos to "have fun and help him make money" However,
all he has done is threaten me with violence.

He said "if I saw him face to face, I (me) would piss my pants."
And he told me to come to his fake homestead "face to face, with open hands to end this, but it must be in the daytime"

First of all - I did NOT invite you here. Trolls are NOT wanted here.

Second - show the full context of the comment.

I do believe it had something to do with trolls being cowards. Bullies who hide in the darkness.

I do not see any physical threat in the comment - taken in its entirety.

But you are doing what trolls do best - twist things to harm people.

every time you spout that garbage you are lying. Its on two videos begging us to come here to make money. You never said no trolls in either video. If you had said no trolls we would not feel welcome here but other sites are certainly making our experience here very pleasant.

Mr. Reid, who are these "homesteaders" you claim to be working with?

As if I would put them in danger by telling you?????

What are you smoking tonight???

smartass, what watertower was referring to was the fact NO homesteader will have anything to do with you but you included them in your poor pitiful me story to give your lies some teeth. Didn't work.

And you missed the point that I would never put them in danger by exposing them to you.

@thediyworld. Grow up.

You are the one trolling me.

We are not trolls. We are exposing you for what you are: A conman.

A confidence trick (synonyms include confidence game, confidence scheme, ripoff, scam and stratagem) is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their confidence, used in the classical sense of trust. Confidence tricks exploit characteristics of the human psyche, such as credulity, naïveté, compassion, vanity, irresponsibility, and greed.

I am actually doing really well on YT,, earnings wise,,, I posted this on patreon not long ago my cpm has gone from $1.8 to $3.62,,, so whatever they are doing,, might be drive up the prices of advertising.
Be careful not to jump ship,, this might be too good to be trough,, and some one is in control of Steemit,, and hosting servers and deciding on changes to be made...

But, but, just yesterday you were blaming the trolls for your failing YT channel.

you must understand that all the failures in trog's sad life he has blamed on everyone else. He takes no responsibility for falling for all the get rich quick schemes. Just wait till the kid gets older and he starts putting the blame on her

Oh, dont get me wrong. You guys get a lot of credit for harming my channel.

But YouTube is not paying us for our work anymore.

Two separate issues.

Correction, they are paying creators for their work. Its the bad creators that are having problems as it should be. You are two timing youtube by trying to drag your viewers to steemit. Not ok troy

Again, I use both at the same time.

I think that YT brings people to steemit and I think that steemit brings people to YT.

Both win.

No you are cheating youtube and putting all your eggs in a basket full of holes. In the end you will see that you torpedoed you own work and your family will suffer the consequences.

they are paying you more than you are worth. I bet a vote on this would prove me right

I also was hoodwinked into coming here to make money for both you and me. I have made zilch and you appear to be doing even worse. Difference is I don't need the money. hahhaahah

Again, you are not wanted here. You do nothing to benefit the community.

I bet your viewers think differently

LOL, I think you mis-quoted anyway. It looks like a slapping match the way you worded it.

With open hands. LOL.

@thediyworld, They're YOUR words! It's all in the block-chain.

Well, it does not look very threatening to me.

Visit one another with open hands.

What is the danger in that?

Again, you removed the context of the conversation anyway.

It was about trolls being cowards and hiding in the darkness.

Why do you always twist and edit stuff?

Just like the cheap tabloids.

@thediyworld, I did no editing, they're Your Words.

See, when you read the stupid shit you say, it does sound pretty damn juvenile and rediculously absurd.

But that's you Mr. Reid.
It's all you.

Fitting such a deceptive little man as yourself calling anyone out for twisting the truth. Did you flip over to comedy?

The truth is that all we do is make daily videos of our lives on the homestead.

The truth is that you and your friends harass us to no end.

Troy you invited us here you said we were going to make money together. We're just waiting for the money and help you with your videos

After reading this blog, and knowing how you really are, I'm not going to tell you to maybe, ah, get a job.

I don't really care, because I know you are not employable.
Plus you said nobody in town will hire you.

But you kinda put all your store bought eggs in one basket....if you get my drift.

Oh, now that you mention it - the reason I cannot get a job

Because you guys are running a smear campaign against me all over the place.

And I do work hard for my money.

Why does it anger you that I dont have a leave the house 9 - 5 job?

OR a better question is what gives you the right to tell me where I can or cannot work?

TROLL.

Because we are taxpayers and had to pay for Ming a Ling's medical bills as well as the kids, we feel we have a right to tell you to get a job that will support your family, you can't rely on the taxpayers and your elderly parent to support you forever even though they have already carried you for almost 50 years.

There is that fitting name again. The "lies" in your name. Oh so fitting.

I agree, our name sucks sewerage but we are stuck with it. Reputation is everything and ours are in the toilet. Maybe if you quit lying and deceiving viewers we could salvage what's left of our crappy name.

The main reason Trog cant get a job is:-
Everone is beware of a dirty old man called Troy William Reid.
He is one of the most filthy, lying, scamming, ebegging bums on the internet!

I clicked on that link to the old shit videos he is currently re-posting the other day and opened just one at random.
Quess what, a convicted pedophile came on making a solar oven at Trogs place in the woods, everything about Troy William Reid is just pure filth.
Then the other day on I typed in google "bunshafter" after reading about bunshafting on his new google maps site then I clicked on images and Fk Me, everything from from the filthy fckers dead chickens to 7 piles of shit to his sister Daniel wearing just her under clothes was on there.
The whole of the Reid family have contaminated the internet with there filth and should be blocked, permanently.
JUST REMEMBER, WHEN HE STARTS, REPLACE THE WORD TROLL WITH THE WORD TRUTH, AND YOU WILL BE GETTING THERE.

And all that garbage your troll friends made up.

All it does prove is your dedication to destroying my name and my life.

The World can see now the harassment I suffer.

Just remember Reid, you brought it all on yourself!

"Oh, now that you mention it - the reason I cannot get a job"

You said in one video that you were on good terms with the locals. So you could get a job locally.

he forgets the lies he tells. Yes the locals now depend on him for answers to their bedini questions and of course the true weather forecast as well as begging him to babysit and entertain their young sons. He is now well known at all church food banks and he has revved up the local real estate market with all his neighbors trying to sell immediately at firesale prices. The local news runs a nightly piece on the latest troy reid goof up.

I would like to see a YouTube like application get started so videos can be posted and then shared on places like Steemit. That I think would be the ideal.

"It is all about content creation."

That's a laugh! You have the worst content on Youtube!!!

"There is no censorship, no person in control."

Unlike your Youtube channel!

And you continue to troll me.

Troy we are all here to make money. You invited us remember

See! This type of flag was unwarranted! Whoever @bigjeff is made a comment, no swearing, no name calling! This is what YOU flag all the time. You're abusing your rented power!

And I think that I have the right to gray out nasty stinking lies people spread about me.

Or do you think that is all good since they are your friends?

You are showing your true colors to the steemit community.

Everyone can see what everyone else does on here.

Thats the plan Reid, to expose you, close you down or at least its my plan anyways.

And you need to leave me alone.

You made it clear that you hate me.

Then leave.

I look at it as I would a purse snatching. I wouldn't stand idly by and let the purp get away with it. Same as your deceit and lies for money. I feel its my duty to expose you for the wrongs you have done. Leaving you alone would be the same as watching the purse snatching and just walking away for you to take all their money. You
may have changed your mind since but you are the reason I am here- you invited me. Want to see the video?

@bigjeff im sorry mr grinch grayed you out. Hes a mean one. Like everything else he "promised", he lets it all goto shit. Just empty words . I value your opinion.

Another comment the filth has been at.

@thediyworld, Did you get permission from Steemit to use their logo?

I wonder if YouTube would like to know you butchered theirs while you complain about them.

IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THE LORD , YOUR GOD ,AND DO NOT CAREFULLY FOLLOW ALL HIS COMMANDS AND DECREES, YOU WILL BE CURSED IN THE CITY AND CURSED IN THE COUNTRY . THE FRUIT OF YOUR WOMB WILL BE CURSED . THE CROPS OF YOUR LAND , THE CALVES OF YOUR HERDS , THE LAMBS OF YOUR FLOCKS .YOU WILL BE CURSED WHEN YOU COME IN , AND CURSED WHEN YOU GO OUT . THE LORD WILL SEND ON YOU CURSES, CONFUSION , AND REBUKE EVERYTHING YOU PUT YOUR HAND TO, UNTIL YOU ARE DESTROYED AND COME TO SUDDEN RUIN , BECAUSE OF THE EVIL YOU HAVE DONE IN FORSAKING HIM

i seen a lot of it . i don't know many just gave up or lost there channel. sad.

no troy... youtube is absolutely NOT like working a 9-5 job! those of us who have actually worked 9-5 jobs for a living understand the difference. you on the other hand have spent the last 20+years ebegging and living off your parents. youtube is NOT A JOB! it is a social media outlet that just happens to earn you a few bucks IF people like you. BUT it is nothing like a REAL job where you are paid for doing WORK! youtube does NOT pay you as an employee and you are no boss of anything. if you feel making crappy videos of your life is work then perhaps you should quit now because you are lousy at it and life therefore you are not making enough off adsense to pay the bills...

it is like this really:
if toyota made a piece of shit car then no one would buy it and they would have to QUIT making it...

if YOU make piece of shit videos then no one will click the ads and you will have to QUIT...

get the drift here little man? STOP falsely comparing your making of crap youtube videos to a REAL MAN/WOMAN who ACTUALLY WORKS HARD FOR A LIVING ! ! !

Trog please stop hiding Docs comments, he's entitled to his opinion just the same as everyone else.
