Signal Boost for the Barcast · 9:50pm Jan 17th, 2018
Pardon the new blog so soon after the last one, but there's a problem with YouTube. Okay, a new problem, and it affects a channel I realy like and is doing some good.
PLEASE HELP: YouTube Issue, Kinda Really Important To Me
Hey, sorry for the serious blog post, especially one literally begging for help with a thing, but it's a matter that's... a little important to me. And if even 100 or 150 of you help me out with this I... well... I'll release that new story, AND I'll just be like super grateful to you. Here's the deal:
Recently, YouTube has made it so that any users with under 1,000 subscribers will no longer get revenue… including the Barcast. Basically, this punishes small channels. This would be fine if we were just looking to make money to party with, but that’s not what we’re about. We donate to a horse rescue place calledRedwings Horse Sanctuary, and all of our Patreon money etc. goes there. We’ve been very slowly gaining money from YouTube as well, but as of February 20th, all that will go away.
You can read about that policy change here:https://youtube-creators.googleblog.com/2018/01/additional-changes-to-youtube-partner.html
This puts us in a pretty rough spot. However, we’re going to try to reach out to make it to 1k subscribers before the time is up. It’s a lofty goal, but we figure it’s worth trying.
This is where we need your help.
Honestly, you can subscribe to us and then ignore us entirely if you want to. This isn’t some push to get more regular viewers for the podcast, or be attention whores. We really just need to hit that 1K limit before time runs out. As of posting this, we need about 600 more people, which is a lot. But we’re trying. If you would be willing to just hit the subscribe button, we’d be forever grateful. It actually means a lot to us.You can subscribe here!:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ3oGd0VGJCPLpCt2BOwbTg
TLDR: please subscribe to our YouTube so we can get revenue because youtube was a butt and made dumb changes that hurt us.
So, yeah. If you're willing and able, thank you. I promise, you can seriously subscribe and never watch a video if you like. I mean, it would be fun if you did, but still. It's shitty that youtube is doing this. I'm so... so frustrated. Didn't need this right now. Ugh. Anyway, back to writing.
