I have recently received a message from Youtube regarding partnership. If anyone doesn't know what this is, after getting a certain amount of activity on your channel, Youtube offers partnership where they place ad's on your videos and provide you a share of the payment with all channel customization options.
Is youtube partnership something I should consider?
Pros: After becoming a partner, I get full customization of my video and channel settings so I will be able to polish my channel more then the average person alongside, making a couple of spare dollars which could prove useful in the future. Youtube will also promote my videos and considering 70% of my videos being Blockland related, The game will receive more attention.
Cons: Ads. Possible requirement of consistency with my video uploads.
The issue is that ads keep youtube alive. Companies pay youtube big bucks to put there ads on videos. I fear that ads in my videos would destroy my viewers opinions and spam my comment box with comments such as "thumbs up if you hate ads" however, as I said, ads keep youtube alive and provide me some spare cash possibly serving as a part time job.
Please share your thoughts on this subject as this choice could potentially be my biggest decision for my youtubing career.
