Official Freedom! Parting Ways With TubeBuddy

[Fourth Wall Games]

Greetings Freedom! family,

On the 23rd May 2016, Freedom! will no longer renew our partnership with TubeBuddy and so all Freedom! partners who are currently utilizing the tools will be downgraded to a Free user. You are of course free to continue to use TubeBuddy.

The main reason for this decision was due to the fact that user adoption was far below projections despite Freedom! promoting the tool to it's partners.

We wish all the best to the TubeBuddy team and look forward to seeing what they bring to the table in the future. We will of course continue to monitor TubeBuddy and the demand for it.

We are always happy to hear about any features that you would like to see implemented to Heartbeat as we are always willing to develop the tool further.

We thank you for your understanding.

The Freedom! Forum Team.

Im sad to hear this news but I'm glad to finally have an explanation!

This kind of sucks. Tubebuddy was one of the main reasons I decided to come here after leaving my previous network.

 

[Robin “Williams” Muscato]

too bad. I use the thumbnail, fast tag, and I love how easy to edit all my video at same time. it was the best tool I ever have.

I try to look for an app that works like thumbnail maker like tube buddy and can't find a replacement

 

[Lyrus]

Copy all of TubeBuddy features.

 

[Bung Bigthing]

Bye-bye tubebuddy..
I use you alot.. but now I must search for alternative free replacement..
I can't afford to use paid services because my channel still small.. not yet earn any revenue

 

[OnlyUltimate]

Maybe if Heartbeat didn't lag my browser when I was on YouTube I would use it.

 

[Nolan Westmore]

They promoted TubeBuddy for like 3 days then left it behind.
Of course user adoption would be low.

 

[Kratos Aurion]

Are we sure this has nothing to do with Kan? He does make tip videos on their youtube channel.

Also I had no idea Tubebuddy was even free to freedom partners until a couple weeks ago when I heard a freedom partner talking about it so how exactly were users supposed to adopt it if it wasn't really promoted as a freedom feature? I mean maybe if it was promoted as heavily as heartbeat was it would have gotten more people using it.

Heck going back to the first point I almost wonder if the complete lack of promotion for it was because they didn't want to give Kan more exposure since he was a former freedom admin.

 

[Fourth Wall Games]

Kan has nothing to do with the decisions. Just to clear that up.

What on earth !! Before you kick these guys to the curb may be you should 1- You should FIX heartbeat and 2- see who is using it I use Tube Bubby everyday for my videos !

 

[Marsh2907]

Real shame. I use tubebuddy all the time because made it so much easier sorting out video's when I finished uploading them.

 

[RamziesPlays]

I too think it´s a terrible idea to remove TubeBuddy to the list of tools we could use to make our daily lives easier everytime we uploaded a new video.. R.I.P TubeBuddy 25th May 2016 - You will be missed!

 

[Robin “Williams” Muscato]

I still think this is very bad idea. if you going to remove this. heartbeat going has to step up their game. there is no replacement for tubebuddy! save money is a very bad reason when freedom seems to support itself. I can live without Epoxy. there workaround for Epoxy

 

[Zzeddd]

Very bad idea letting tube buddy go defiantly need the premium features that the partnership gives, defiantly update heartbeat with decent features if you do go through with this otherwise i can see people walking away

Heartbeat only takes up cpu and ram while spamming the YouTube site with random features no-one ever uses. As of epoxy, I have actually started loving it and I have seriously no f ing idea of how to use Facebook so I use epoxy only..

 

[Wonderboy Gaming]

Im sad to see it go, its been the best tool to use.

As Per all the other posts. I was gutted when the email from TubeBuddy came through (first I knew about this).
TB is a fantastic tool for the creator on the YT side, Whereas Heartbeat didn't even come close, neither did VidIQ (not via Freedom, but the same kinda thing.)
TB seemed to be the only one that really focused more on the YT Studio side of things, whereas with the others they seemed more focused on analysing other peoples channels, or videos, which granted is nice, but to be honest i am more bothered about my own channel and the tools it gave me to easy my work flow.
A bad decision by Freedom! One that makes me recommend the network a little less than I would otherwise have done.
