Poor boyz and gals. Go complain you can't monetize shitty tweets or facebook spam.

I'm not too sure. I haven't seen anything from square yet. As for Naruto, your channel is boned. Nintendo has stated that they will not go easy on people using their videos. Though the fact you didn't monetized them is good. The Channel that they are on will not be allowed to monetize, as per my understanding of monetization in video game channels. Due to the flag your account will not be deemed in good standing. I could be wrong here, as I don't know what makes a good account, but I'm sure a flag, unrefuted. . . means that you will not be able to.

In a nutshell Youtube allowed for a third party to run a program that scanned every video on the internet for content matching. This program was designed by lawyers who compiled all these copyrighted materials. . . ran the program and now are taking all the revenue from the ads and redistributing to the people who are claiming the copyright. It's very complicated due to the fact that one hit may contain more then one party saying clime to music, artwork and what have you. Now other then Nintendo, most devs have said they had nothing to do with this. I don't know about the third parties.
It is getting more messed up due to the fact it is actually breaking the law in the US. Though with how the system was made up no one can really figure out who is to point the finger at: Youtube for allowing the program, the Dev's or the Third party who designed the thing. Technically all are doing their Job it is the collaboration and the messed up system that is the problem. The people who got screwed anyone without a network who don't have the power to hire a lawyer to help go through the right channels.

Making videos on youtube good. Making youtube your primary income provider, dumb as shit. Long time coming, this.
Eh, oh well. Honestly, I disliked LP monetization for a long-ass time. I do not agree with flagging/removing critical content, but if you are making a livelyhood out of LPs, you are doing it wrong.

what about the poor people who were contacted to make their videos? Most the people affected were not LP people. Angry Joe isn't doing Lp?
Do you think working on TV is dumb as shit too? there is little difference, both get paid via advertisements? Just because one is new doesn't mean it isn't valid. The Fact that people were able to make money off of YouTube shows how smart they really are. In the digital world pioneering is a form of progression no?

Guess what. I am using adblock and I don't give a f*ck. Adblock has NOTHING-WHAT-SO-EVER to do with these recent copyright changes.
The ads will still be there, only youtubers are getting screwed over because ad revenue will go to google and "copyright owner".
And I don't choose to use adblock because I don't give a f*ck about youtubers. I choose to use it because the ads are getting intrusive, annoying and aggressive. Also even with using adblock, you can whitelist.

Here is how you can help: don't go to it until they resolve this issue. . . or let's figure something out.
Some of you may or may not know that YouTube has flagged and started screwing over most YouTube Gamer's videos.
Many people who have been putting up any type of gameplay videos have been flagged and are currently not making the money off off the videos that they have worked tirelessly on.
Now I know some of you people out there use adblock to make sure that these people you love to watch make no money what so ever so I know you don't give a shit what youtube does. . . but this is a crime. Many people Like Angry Joe, Chilled Chaos, and even Pew Tee Pie or what ever his name is. . . have been hit hard.
This is a very harsh day on the internet (well Monday was the day that it happened but today the **** hit the fan) YouTube has made people lose their hard work due to their greed and some people need to take a stance. This is mine informing you people that YouTube has just actively screwed over a few million people out of their income and the word needs to get out.
Please don't flame each other but please let us try and band together to figure out how to actively help those who put out videos that help us find out if a game is fun or not. . .
Info what is going on:
the first panel
YouTube vs Gamers!?!
From Nomed: a kotaku article
angry joe's rant harsh language and a bit loud.
TB's thoughts
boogie2988's wonderful heartfelt rant
machinima
EDIT: I was too harsh on people Using Adblock I don't like people using it but I took out what was seen as an insult at everyone (though it was directing to people who use adblock who think that Youtuber's don't deserve money from ad revenue.)
Edit edit: I didn't mean to insult everyone was just in rage mode when I found out how many people are in trouble. Though honestly if you do use adblock and watch a YouTuber you should feel a little bit bad. . you are enjoying their work and not contributing to their work that you are enjoying. . .heck if you wait the 30s and press skip ad they get some money from that.
Personal note: I man sorry for being toxic to some of you. I have been a bit fired up and did get condescending. Something that I do need to work on. Though I would love it if people would try to see that people's lives have been effected with this and I do stand up for people who love games and am trying not to be too aggressive towards people who hold little respect for those trying to make an honest wage. After talking with some wonderful members here Yes that includes Jade. . . I do see that I have 100% been very toxic to some of you, thus distracting from my informing you of an issue. I will try to be less so from here on out : 12:26 PST
