@stonesteem I appreciate you wanting my insight on the YouTube ad revenue situation. Although none of my videos have been monetized as this feature wasn't available in my account until recently due to some things I have done in the past as it relates to AdSense I do feel bad for the content creators.

They are the one's that are suffering as a lot of them have spent years and a lot of time building up their channels to be penalzed for the actions of a few.

Not sure if the reason provided by YouTube is telling the entire story or it this was done to control the content being put out there whereas this drop in revenue would discourage YouTuber's to not make content.

Either way it is a sign to me to never put all of your eggs in one basket or allow a 3rd party platform the opportunity to control your income.
