@GreenRoc nodds in agreement

What pissed me of and still pisses me off is that even obeying every bullshit rule doesn't guarantee not being a victim of #CollectivePunishment as a #SmallChannel just getting started.

• It's not about the €5-ish that they took from me by refusing to pay me out, (I didn't expect to ROI the cost of said videos anyway!) but the principle!

I followed every rule and every best practise they said to the letter and then they randomly decided to demoneitze all the #SmallChannels because they couldn't be assed to vet theor platform so #Daesh propaganda channels didn't get #ads on their videos and #advertisers complained at them for that.

• Cuz that's what #AdPocalypse essentially was: Kicking all the small channels into their groin for something they didn't do wrong.

Just because they'd get away eith that as de-facto #monopoly!

Given I'm #StillMad & #StillAngry at #YouTube for their #CollectivePunishment against #SmallChannels like the ones I did, it's even more infuriating to me that they don't even fake to enfoce their #ToS & #CommunityStandards towards #Advertisers!

• But then again #YouTubeAdverts were only going to get shittier and #Advertising revenue on the platform went from good to meh to nonexistant.

Google still holds my € 5,72 of #AdSense revenue as a sort-of non-interest perpetual loan with no chance of me getting a #payout!

@jackeric I guess #YouTubeAds are just full of shit.

• I wished #YouTube would even do 1% of the #enforcement if "#CommunityStandards" towards #Advertisers and #ads than they did towards #SmallChannels & #SmallCreators!

Yes, I'm #StillMad for #AdPocalypse…

@niklas @mattgrayyes I just don't bother with a #YouTube account since #AdPocalypse in 2016.

• I'm #StillMad at #Google for going collective punishment against #SmallChannels like mine and #demonetizing me despite having literally done nothing wrong by any metric whatsoever. Not even a single complaint or rule infraction whatsoever...

They still have ~ € 5 in #advertising revenue widthhold in my account and with their retroactively introduced minimum watch time I'll never get above the quota for a payout.

@landley 2 seconds or 4 bars is the norm in Germany, which ever is longer.

• But yeah, #YouTube is being an irredeemable mess since #AdPocalypse in 2016 came and was issued as a #CollectivePunishment against #SmallChannels and #SmallCreators like myself.

I still have € 5,42 rotting in an #AdSense account as a de-facto interest-free loan to #Google with no means of getting a #payout of it...

@caos @pmj @the_white_wolf @weingaertner_it @fairkom ich hab #YouTube eibgestampft als die #AdPocalypse in Form von #Kollektivbestrafung gegen #SmallChannels reinkickte.

• Seitdem gammeln €5,... bei #Google rum...

@computertruhe Vielleicht mal die #GUUG / #GLUG fragen?

Hätte YouTube nicht mittels #AdPocalypse damals mir ins Gesicht gerotzt [als #Kollektivstrafe gegen #SmallChannels] hätte ich längst ne entsprechende Serie gemacht...
