Hello and welcome.
My name is Jörg, I am a German, a professional YouTube creator 52 years of age, actually 53 very soon, and I'm here to talk to you about a very serious issue. I have been a “YouTube Partner” for many many years. they awarded me with the silver and the golden play award. I've been at the headquarter I've been at their parties I even met their CEO Susan W a while back so I know my way around YouTube. I can honestly say that I don't hate YouTube. In fact quite the opposite, I love YouTube.
 
 I helped building YouTube,  put a lot of heart blood into this platform. I know many great people who work for YouTube. YouTube is NOT evil, at least that's what I think. That's what I hope. But you know, I had many partners in my long career before this job here. If a partner gets too much leeway, then sooner or later he will succumb to the temptation, step over the line and things get out of bounds. This is exactly what happened within the last year, and now it is high time to set things right again.

Because some big advertisers united and boycotted YouTube, they changed their entire business approach. They simply yielded to the pressure, to the great disadvantage of many many creators. No surprise. On one sided we have huge corporations with deep pockets and on the other side we have thousands of very small individuals with no power and no money.

So, gradually we saw a lot of atrocious things brought upon us. YouTube now messes with the content of videos that are within their rules. That never happened before. The consequences are grave.

Massive demonetization. Bots given power over humans – bots demonetize, bots delete, bots issue strikes, bots even ban YouTube partners. Kicking out all of the small YouTubers. Taking away parts or even all of the income from long term partners and giving all of the cash to the content YouTube, not the audience, likes. Censoring by uneven distribution of funds. Discrimination, by categorizing completely different videos into the same group. Total intransparency. Sudden change of rules and values. “Community Guidelines” that are softer than a sponge and more elastic than rubber. In short:
The adpocalypse. ... (Read more here): https://sites.google.com/site/forourunion/
