I've read all the posts in this thread, and being a new YouTuber and new to the Freedom! network, I can see where @
FadedTiara is coming from. Now I have no problem busting my hump to deliver quality videos, I've been spending about as much time doing this youtube thing as I have working my full-time 40 hour+ a week job. In fact I probably dedicate more time to the channel.
But Feedom! states before you apply: "We help your channel grow faster!"......how exactly they go about doing so, I'd really like to know. They take 40% of our profits, that's damn near half of the money that we make from youtube. If they're gonna take half of my profits then I expect Freedom to dedicate at least half of the amount of time that I do to helping my channel grow. Or to be technical, they should put in a 40% effort to EARN their share.
Music is a nice tool, but I can get free music from YouTube.
A forum is nice, but I've been posting regularly, commenting on creator's vids and subscribing to channels that I like and I have seen very few Freedom partners doing the same.
I'm not complaining (yet), but I am being practical and reasonable. 40% is a big chunk of change, especially if your only making pennies from youtube, so Freedom should stay true to their promise of "Helping your channel grow faster!" and provide some real help, support, and promotion of our channels, and it should come in more of a proactive form because free music, a forum, and some training videos simply aren't enough.
