A few days ago, YouTube updated their ToS, and it's apparently got some people mad.

YouTube Will Start Running Ads on Channels That Aren’t Part of Its Revenue-Sharing Program

YouTube, in an expansion of its advertising business, will begin serving up ads on channels that won't receive a cut of the revenue.

Another day, another YouTube change that angers everyone.

It's not like people were happy in the first place

One of the reasons YouTube cited for the requirements for partnership was advertisers being afraid of their ads being shown on "problematic" videos and damaging their brand; therefore, only creators with a "proven track record" could monetize and have ads on their videos. Now that that's been dropped on its head, what excuse does YouTube have for not letting more creators actually make money off of their content?

I keep all my videos on my computer just in case one day there is something better than YouTube. Will be fun re-editing my montages, actually. But that day seems so far away.

We need someone like Apple or Microsoft to make a YouTube competitor.

Well, time to break out the ad blocker again.

Well, this is probably the only way my videos could get adds put on them after Pewdiepie broke it.

Would like for YouTube to give me a cut though
