It does have the ad revenue, but it's hard to discern whether this is just greed or youtube is actually struggling financially at the moment... which considering its popularity I doubt that :/

I took a brief look at its financials. Google owns Youtube, but its cash flow is dismal. That means it has no cash on hand due to its financing and operating expenses. That might explain why Youtube needs to do that.

Maybe it is necessary then :/ Not many people are gonna like it though... although I can imagine some content creators won't mind

But people could just get add block and not paid for subs

Wait, isn't paid subscription just an option for ad-free? I mean seriously, it's like the difference between following and subscribing on Twitch, you still get the info about videos/streams, you just have the option to pay for ad free.

Well... this is what it says under the monetisation terms

1. Monetization Revenues. YouTube will pay you as follows:

   1. Advertising Revenues. YouTube will pay you 55% of net revenues recognized by YouTube from ads displayed or streamed by YouTube or an authorized third party on your Content watch pages or in or on the YouTube video player in conjunction with the streaming of your Content. YouTube is not obligated to display any advertisements alongside your videos and may determine the type and format of ads available on the YouTube Service. For clarity, YouTube reserves the right to retain all other revenues derived from the YouTube service, including any revenues relating to ads on search result pages.

   2. Subscription Revenues. YouTube will pay you 55% of the total net revenues recognized by YouTube from subscription fees that are attributable to the monthly views or watchtime of your Content as a percentage of the monthly views or watchtime of all or a subset of participating content in the relevant subscription offering (as determined by YouTube). If your Content is included in and viewed by a user in multiple subscription offerings, YouTube will pay you based on the subscription offering with the highest amount of net revenues recognized by YouTube, as calculated by YouTube.

Both ad revenue and subscription revenue are listed in the monetisation terms in the partner program so I thought they'd both be a consistent part of the terms... but yeah you're right that should be referring to revenue from subscribers and from ads for non-subscribers then

...Is there any way to keep everything from going down in fire?

psst,Turbo quickly post in the IC thread lol

[TurboAura]

283

@Azery: Taken care of~. And just because I have the time to react to news here doesn't mean I have the time to come up with a 'character's reaction and the next step to pull off.

Make 'em good

TBH,I just want the round over with since this tour has been going on longer than the rest of the rp lol.

@Azery: Hope and plan on it.

I think that's why Jory and Chim agreed to make the separate Battle thread so that everyone could participate at the same time. They knew we would get bored while we wait for our turns to fight xD

[Azeria]

288

I think Ymora has the most pages of any RP thread so far....that place is insanity lmao

I feel like my pokemon aren't as good as others since most everyone has some extreme strategy for each one of theirs and I'm, 'here's a pokemon, it does things, GG.' >_>

[Azeria]

291

>Arent as good as others

>>Tx-101+Smogon Frog

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?

I barely have any for James's unevolved current party(Rubix is just gunna fuck with everyone lol)

Shade's strategy:Burn and Confusion then Hit and Run,

Tytaniel:Leech Seed and Thunder wave,after that attack from a distance while the opponent kills themselves

to be fair, I had Sasuke before the Ubers

I just hope Slade's battle with Jacob won't be one sided. ;~;

[Azeria]

293

Show no mercy,bring out the terror known as Tx-101 upon that Lapras if it takes out Flare.

Also,Sasuke vs Rubix 1v1 some day......

[Aurorix]

294 (Who is rubix again I forget ATM )

Also I don't plan on sending Flare out because he's weak or normal effectiveness to every pokemon Jacob has chosen so that only leaves two.

Also, I bet you're looking forward with your battle with Mareek
