YouTube News (Patreon)

• According to rumor, or possible damage control, the recent rash of videos that have been demonetized have, apparently "always been demonetized" meaning we're all just getting notifications now? Article here explains some stuff, but the whole thing is so foggy, I'm not sure exactly what's causing what : http://www.cnet.com/news/pause-the-youtubeisoverparty-youtube-isnt-pulling-more-ads-from-stars-videos/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#ftag=CAD590a51e

With all that being said, I'm cautiously optimistic, but we'll have to see what happens. Not sure why some current videos were demonetized along with older videos, if the older videos "were always demonetized", so who the hell knows. It's frustrating.

So far 23 videos have been flagged as "not ad-friendly" so hopefully it'll stop there, but who knows.

In the meantime, thanks to those who have been stepping up on Patreon.  I kinda wasted today looking for other outlets and what not, so DailyMotion may be an option. But even if nothing else happens, the lesson learned here is not to be so reliant on ad revenue. It can go away, fast. And those who gave it to you, aren't really gonna care what happens to you.

So I'm going to have to make an effort to promote the shop more, Patreon and so forth to ensure that I don't end up in a financial disaster in the future. 

Anyway, NEW FOAMY TOMORROW!!!! (9/2)
