I am in the same boat really. YouTube was my main source of income for years.
Suddenly homesteading channels are being blocked. Even my wife's cooking and crafting videos are being blocked now. We dont swear, drink, smoke or anything else but we are blocked.
At 60,000 subs I was getting 10 - 12,000 views per video.
Now at 100,000 subs I am getting 2 - 3,000 views per video.
YouTube is self destructing in a bad way.
I had just started a channel on Vidme and now they're closing. It's hard to find a place to promote your channel and homesteading now. :(
I am currently working on a server to host videos. I will be announcing it on steemit and my normal YouTube channel when it is ready.
I am uploading all my videos to both YT and my site now in order to prepare for the move.
I hope to have ads running just like YT. Programming the back end and getting advertisers on board is the hard part tho. Will take a bit of time.
You can use DailyMotion too but the payouts and viewership is not as high as YT.
I figure that I can slowly bring my YT viewers to my new site with time.
Why do you keep deleting comments Troy Reid. If you have nothing to hide, you wouldn't delete comments with your rented sp.
Well count me in. I cant wait. Exciting times ahead.
thediyworld: "I figure that I can slowly bring my YT viewers to my site with time"
Just like when you invited the entire world to Steemit?
Who came?
That's right, your Banned and Blocked viewers!
Where have you been Troy Reid at thediyworld?
Did you give up on "daily videos"?
Did you give up on "homesteading"?
Did you give up on your Patreon paying customers?
Did you give up on Steemit?
We all know you're NOT 95% Off grid so you can't give up something you never had!
Why did you Delete all those comments Troy Reid at thediyworld?
Trying to hide the truth about you.....as usual?
@thediyworld So you’re working in another project that will fail. No one goes to your forum and very few will go to your new site. The writing is in the wall, GET A REAL JOB.
so you are trying to do exactly what i did (as per your usual). the easiest and simplest way to go about what you are trying to do is buy a wordpress buisness account for $300 a year. If you actually have good content then the ad revenue will cover the cost every year and you will have your own video and blog hosting site such as i do with little effort. no need to program or fix anything. no need to search out advertisers and such. they already have a full working adsense program that can even be linked to youtubes adsense if you wanted it to. but we all know how you @thediyworld loves to over complicate things...
Troy Reid is NOT a homesteader.
He has a YouTube channel where everything is a lie.

Youtube's algorithm is just weeding out LIARS, SCAMMERS, CONMEN, DECEPTION, FAKES. Since all apply to you monetization has stopped. Boo-hoo t-bag.
Fuk you t-liar. You tube is not tanking you are tanking. YouTube will be a better place once your lying ass is gone. Get a real job troy! Troy you suck at youtube.
Don't lie t-bag your vids are not blocked. They are just not monetized. They should be blocked because yur an idiot.
Stop complaining thediyworld.
Your YouTube channel is tanking because you have poor quality and poor content.
You are not even a "homesteader".
Having chickens and a garden like you doesn't count.
You have alienated, deleted comments, blocked and banned thousands of viewers that tried to help you with advice, free labor, gifts and money donations over the past five years.
Plus, you have defrauded every Patreon and Indegogo subscriber by failing to provide promised material.
In your video yesterday, you said you were "still planning the giveaways", maybe "sometime next year".
You've been saying that for months now.
I understand that to be, due to your past history, that you have No Intent on doing so.
And your comment here of "We don't swear, drink, smoke or anything else but we are blocked"....
I call that Poetic Justice.
Your channel is "self destructing" and you know it.
My apologies to @jrchomestead.
not a problem. Respect your opinion.
@thediyworld No, you are responsible for the sad state of your youtube channel. You are the reason it is tanking. Your dishonest ways are catching up with you.
