YouTube's Glaring Issues for Creators: AdPocalypse and Restricted Mode [Ep. #63]

Published: April 11, 2017, 3:02 p.m.

Google has been facing a mini crisis lately as advertisers continue to pull out of the platform. Creators are worried that their income and the money they earn will start to decline. New creators are less motivated to even start making videos now, too. Are those fears really founded? Maybe, if you set yourself up to only monetize your videos through an ad revenue split with YouTube. Fortunately, there are many other ways to make a full-time income through your channel that doesn't depend on Adsense. Let's talk about that, as well as the "censorship" YouTube's been facing with their restricted mode.

Leave your thoughts on our website about this change. We'd love to hear from you:
