Youtube is Killing Small Creators

Youtube is changing and that might not be good for everyone. In the wake of the Logan Paul controversy (if you’re not filled in, he’s an idiot who filmed a dead body and youtube decided not to take it down… oh yeah it got more than 6 million views while it was up and was number 1 on trending) youtube has made changes to their partnership program. As of yesterday, the program allowed channels to monetize provided they had reached over 10,000-lifetime views. But as of this morning many formerly partnered channels, including The Last of The Good Ones the sister channel to Wicked Good Everything, woke up to this email from youtube.

We Started a Youtube Channel

Starting a youtube channel is difficult. An understatement to be sure, perhaps even a statement so obvious that it doesn't warrant stating. The actual creation is simple enough, create a google account, think of a name and a few clicks later you're free to show the world what you have. The tougher part is figuring out what you have.

For years my bestie Tamur and I have been toiling away creating comedic sketches, but due to an ever-changing youtube algorithm, the dream of success seemed out of reach. For a more in-depth retelling of the saga that is The Last Of The Good Ones make sure to subscribe to Wicked Good Everything and soon enough we'll have a show called "Let's Go Viral" where Tamur breaks it all down. (That's called self-promotion and I'm slowly getting better at it)
