Writing Notes: Streamer Characters

Live Streamer

Also livestreamer or online streamer

Someone who makes videos that show them playing computer games, talking about products, or doing other activities, and streams them (i.e., puts them on the internet) at the same time as they are being made.

An individual who broadcasts real-time video content over the internet, engaging with an audience through online platforms.

Transmits live or on-demand audio or video content while users listen or watch.

Livestreams are deployed over various platforms, including social media platforms like YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Twitter, Instagram Live, and TikTok, as well as through professional business services, such as Kaltura and Dacast.

Unlike pre-recorded videos, live streams occur in the moment, allowing viewers to interact with the streamer through chat functions and other interactive features.

This immediacy creates a dynamic and engaging experience for both the streamer and the audience.

Live streamers cover a wide range of content:

playing video games,

hosting talk shows,

conducting interviews,

cooking,

crafting, and

live vlogging daily activities.

The versatility of live streaming content means that streamers can find their niche and build a community around shared interests.

Successful live streamers often cultivate a loyal following by maintaining a consistent streaming schedule, engaging directly with their viewers, and creating a sense of community.

What your Character does as a Live Streamer

Content Creation: Live streamers plan, prepare, and execute engaging live broadcasts. They choose topics or activities that resonate with their audience, maintain a consistent streaming schedule, and ensure that their content is entertaining and relevant to their viewers.

Audience Interaction: Interacting with viewers in real-time is a key responsibility. Streamers engage through live chat, responding to comments, questions, and feedback during the stream. They foster a sense of community by acknowledging and involving their audience, using interactive features like polls, Q&A sessions, and shout-outs to enhance viewer engagement.

Technical Management: Managing technical aspects is crucial to a successful stream. This includes setting up and maintaining streaming equipment such as cameras, microphones, lighting, and streaming software. Streamers must ensure a stable internet connection, troubleshoot technical issues promptly, and optimize stream quality to deliver a seamless viewing experience.

Monetization: Monetizing their channels is an important aspect for many streamers. This can involve receiving viewer donations, earning subscriptions (e.g., Twitch subscriptions), securing sponsorships and partnerships with brands, and generating revenue through advertising. Streamers may also leverage merchandise sales, affiliate marketing, or exclusive content to diversify their income streams.

Community Building: Building and nurturing a community around their content is essential. Streamers cultivate a loyal following by creating a welcoming environment, engaging with viewers regularly, and participating in community events or collaborations. They may also moderate chat and ensure a positive and inclusive atmosphere during streams.

Continuous Improvement: Successful streamers constantly strive to improve their content and grow their audience. They analyze viewer analytics to understand audience preferences and trends, experiment with new content formats or streaming techniques, and stay updated with industry trends and platform changes to maintain relevance and competitiveness in the streaming space.

What Type of Live Streamer is your Character?

Live streamers can be categorized into various types based on the content they stream and the communities they engage with. Here are some common types:

Gaming Streamers: Gaming streamers focus on playing and broadcasting video games live to their audience. They may specialize in specific genres such as first-person shooters, role-playing games, or multiplayer online battle arenas (MOBAs). Gaming streamers entertain viewers with their gameplay skills, commentary, and interactions with their audience through live chat.

IRL (In Real Life) Streamers: IRL streamers share their real-life experiences and activities in real-time. They broadcast everyday activities such as traveling, exploring new places, attending events, or participating in challenges. IRL streamers often engage their audience by interacting with them while showcasing their daily routines or special events happening in their lives.

Talk Show and Podcast Streamers: Talk show and podcast streamers host live discussions, interviews, or debates on various topics of interest. They invite guests or panelists to join their streams, engaging with them and their audience through insightful conversations and debates. Talk show streamers may cover topics ranging from politics and current events to pop culture and entertainment.

Creative Streamers: Creative streamers focus on showcasing their artistic talents and skills live. They create art, music, crafts, or digital designs while interacting with their audience. Creative streamers often provide tutorials, share their creative process, and take viewer suggestions or requests for their next project.

Music Streamers: Music streamers perform live music sessions, DJ sets, or music production sessions for their audience. They may cover popular songs, perform original compositions, or engage in interactive music creation with their viewers. Music streamers often use platforms that allow them to receive song requests and interact with their audience in real-time.

Fitness and Sports Streamers: Fitness and sports streamers broadcast live workouts, training sessions, or sports events. They provide exercise routines, fitness tips, and motivation to their audience while demonstrating exercises or participating in sports activities. Fitness streamers may also engage in challenges or competitions with their viewers.

Educational Streamers: Educational streamers conduct live tutorials, lectures, or workshops on topics such as science, technology, languages, or academic subjects. They share knowledge, answer viewer questions in real-time, and provide interactive learning experiences through demonstrations or experiments.

Cooking Streamers: Cooking streamers broadcast live cooking sessions where they prepare recipes, share cooking tips, and engage with their audience while demonstrating culinary techniques. They may also take viewer suggestions for recipes or cooking challenges, creating a community around food and culinary arts.

What Would your Character's Workplace Look Like?

The workplace of a live streamer is typically centered around creating a conducive environment for broadcasting engaging and interactive content.

Unlike traditional office settings, live streamers often work from home or a dedicated studio space that they have set up for streaming purposes.

This space is vital for maintaining control over the streaming setup and creating a comfortable atmosphere conducive to content creation.

At home, live streamers often have a designated area or room where they set up their streaming equipment.

This might include a high-quality camera, microphone, lighting rigs, and a powerful computer or gaming console capable of handling streaming software and gameplay simultaneously.

The setup is tailored to their specific streaming needs, ensuring optimal audiovisual quality and reliability during broadcasts.

Beyond the physical setup, the digital workspace of a live streamer involves managing streaming software, interacting with viewers through chat functions, and monitoring analytics in real-time.

This requires multitasking skills to engage with the audience while focusing on gameplay, discussion topics, or other content being streamed.

Streamers also use this digital space to collaborate with moderators, manage community interactions, and coordinate special events or collaborations with other content creators.

Some Streaming Strategies your Character Could Use

Makes their livestream unique

Focuses on their livestream audience’s needs

Surprises their livestream audience

Promotes their livestream

Interacts with their viewers

Tells viewers what to do at the end of a livestream (e.g., see more content, attend an event)

yo just quick update saying my youtube channel is FINALLY back to normal... I was right about being stuck on the 90 day punishment for ‘invalid traffic’ which I still don’t know what or how that was happening and how I was suppose to mitigate that when that should be google’s job to spot what is a bot and what’s not or if someone despised my channel enough to pay for fake views knowing it would cause this (yes that is something someone can do and youtube will just fault the creator for it.... gotta love the internet!) so yea FUCK whatever that was all about and FUCK youtube creator support for literally not helping at all and just copying and pasting guidelines I know already! good news is we back in business, monetization / visible video chapters and all. that’s why I’ve been streaming again albeit a bumpy start with N64 / Saturn emulation but I’ll get the groove back. this also means I’ll get back working on some overdue vidmixes but first gonna focus on Saturn stuff for rest of the month. thanks again to those that kept supporting on my patreon while I had a 90% cut on my usual youtube revenue, really means a lot. I’ll make it up to you all for sure with my next CD batches TBA 👍

UPDATE 9/2/23

Wow, it's almost fall and I'm still kickin', so here's a proper update about what's been going on with me. I do feel great most days, and with Halloween in season around the US, it makes me very happy. As far as stroke recovery goes, my leg has a newly made brace and my walking in general has greatly improved the past few months. I really don't roll my left foot anymore, in other words, my foot can go flat instead of landing on the ankle and possibly causing injury.

My arm is still mostly nothing but a couple weeks back I was able to move my shoulder again so there's hope. I also got a home electrical stimulation device so I give my arm and hand a jolt for an hour everyday. With time, I feel confident i'll recover.

A great help with my recovery has been the amazing @dagdasgoddess , a fellow young stroke survivor who has been watching out for me and offering encouragement every day for a couple months now, exactly when I needed it. Mentally, stroke recovery is pretty damn tough but most days I feel positive about it, with great thanks to her.

And now on to some business. Shortly before my stroke I was planning on celebrating the 10th anniversary of my blog (which would have been in December of last year, but I was still in the hospital, obviously...) And one of the things I was going to do was photograph and review all the smt demon figures I have, using my special diorama table. I got around to starting the project a couple weeks before the stroke, naturally starting with the Leonard figure. Here's one of the pics:

I also made something of an anniversary banner, just because, I guess:

I also want to talk about some milestones reached, starting with some follower counts. By December last year I finally surpassed 2k followers, so thank you so very much. This is after Kanekos Crib Notes quickly dwarfed my own blog followers shortly after its establishment in like 2014. But now my own blog is even ahead of kcn, as undoubtedly its current annual schedule limits its growth and reach. (But hey, it's almost October, aka KCN MONTH)

The last milestone is above: my Stealing Knowledge blogger has reached half a million views! Unbelievable, thanks for reading and sharing over the years! Identity crisis part 3 remains the most viewed, with over 50k on its own.

Finally, I want to talk about the future. Another 10th anniversary plan was to try and monetize the blog somehow, probably via a Patreon for new articles and such and many other ideas, maybe even doing YouTube videos to answer asks instead of them being all text. I have lots of other ideas too, but they'll have to wait until my arm works again. So instead of monetizing the future, for now I'm just going to ask y'all kindly to chip in for the blog's past. I'm amazed at how much activity the blog still generates from--let's call it "legacy content".

To that end, I have set myself up a kofi account where you can show your appreciation for that "legacy", kuwabara, kuwabara, if you'd like. All money earned will go towards paying down bills accrued during my recovery, like my hyperbaric treatments. In perfect honesty, it's been around 3000 US dollars so far. Don't feel obligated to contribute and thank you all for still sticking around with me despite my relative inactivity. And if course, continue keeping @sorenblr busy if you wish.

I would also not expect my own recovery before next year, that's just stroke for you. Thank you all!!!!!

p.s. I was featured as a stroke survivor again on another therapy facebook post:

Hello, I was wondering if u could tell me more about the DID youtube stuff and the stuff with DissociaDID, I don't know a lick of any of that, I've only rlly watched The Entropy System, The Rings System and some of DissociaDID's educational videos fairly recently (still new to the online OSDDID community in general), all I've heard is that DissociaDID is anti-endo?

(I use DissociaDID to refer to the system as a whole. They don't have another updated system name that I am aware of.)

Hi, two people brought up something like this in my inbox, and it's worth clarifying. My point was unclear, and I'll do my best to clarify now. In my eyes, DissociaDID has come under a lot of scrunity for concerns that are valid but overblown, standards that others are not held to, ableism/fakeclaiming, and sometimes claims that are bordering on conspiracy. Unfortunately, I was pretty up-to-date on the situation, so I'll make an outline of things people were upset about.

Outdated

- Using racial terms to describe a darker-skinned alter, Nadia, when the body is white. Of my knowledge, this has not happened since. (I am white, so I can't police if you forgive them or not. This is just context.)

- Engagement with Team Piñata*. They're no longer together. End of.

- Overstating their qualifications. DissociaDID no longer states any qualifications other than being a system that does research, basically. Before, it sounded almost like they were claiming to be a mental health professional.

- They partnered with BetterHelp** at one point. They never gave a statement, but they haven't promoted it since.

Disproven/Clarified

- DissociaDID has used *very* outdated studies to support points in their older videos. This is frowned upon in scientific research, where sources become less accurate very quickly (Rule of thumb is use studies no greater than 20 years old). DissociaDID has previously referenced a study from 1902, at worst.

- Many criticise DissociaDID for coming back to YouTube just when their monetization is about to run out.

- Can handle criticism very poorly at times, which people took an issue with, especially when they were proporting themselves as mental health experts.

- Brought a flood of people to the DID community, negative attention included. Many DID YouTubers stopped posting due to the negative attention the DID community received. DissociaDID did not personally cause this, as far as I can tell.

- Diagnosis at Pottergate Center: Even if that diagnosis wasn't valid, they were also diagnosed through the NHS. (Diagnosis is sometimes referred to in ways other than pencil-and-paper diagnosis, too.)

Not sure, but hasn't come up

- Treatment of various friends in the DID community such as Bobo & Co.

General dislike (Up to you)

- Many say they are "sensationalizing" DID, due to their florid presentation (This may also be paired with fakeclaiming)

- Mara's TikTok has come under fire for posting more suggestive content. Soren stands by her right to do so, and checks it before it is posted.

Borderline conspiracy and fakeclaiming

- One system member interacted with a minor on a livestream in a somewhat suggestive manner. (Their account says minors DNI, but people argue they should have been more mindful.)

- Many people get an odd vibe from their content, since it is so polished, and argue that it doesn't reflect the reality of DID since it's so pristine.

- Some find it very odd that they advertise their Patreon with having BTS footage of them dissociating/switching.

- Some people allege DissociaDID made up her alters after reading a certain book regarding programming. Some roles/alter names/inner world details lined up.

*Team Piñata was exposed for drawing minors in inappropriate situations and possibly doing commissions of this content.

- Since DissociaDID has previously mentioned RAMCOA (or a similar term), people who believe that that phrasing is antisemitic, conspiritorial, and/or completely fake don't believe that she is a valid source of DID information

- DissociaDID has been accused of copying their trauma from other systems. The foundation of this theory rests on them malingering DID.

- (Outdated also) People used to theorize Team Piñata and DissociaDID never broke up. It has been a long time since then, and DissociaDID doesn't even mention them by name anymore.

- DissociaDID has been fighting a court battle since 2020 or so and has linked to their CrowdJustice page for a while. People theorized that they were taking the money for themselves instead. DissociaDID has stated that the funds go directly to lawyers and never enter their hands.

**BetterHelp has been criticized for its lack of quality control, especially surrounding uncertified "therapists" to conduct therapy through their service and the unprofessional behavior of therapists using the service.

So that's what I can recall at the moment. Five of the issues are up to personal opinion. Personally, I think DissociaDID has had problems but has a magnifying glass on their behavior for years. If you don't like them, please just leave them alone.

[nontrivialproof]

I posted this and then quickly decided it was too embarrassing to not put under a readmore anyway here's 500 words about what I've observed from reading way too many AITA posts

At this point, AITA posts feel like the krill of the internet, this type of popular, free, rapidly-replenishing content collected and monetized by podcasts, TikTok accounts, YouTube channels, and clickbait news sites. In the reddit ecosystem itself, the subreddit has spawned a ton of spin-offs either for external discussion or for the same type of post with less moderation. The most obvious and worst of these is AITAH, which is the same as AITA except that it allows posts about general relationship drama as opposed to discrete interpersonal conflicts. (To be transparent this post is mostly about AITAH over AITA because that's what gets recommended to me by the reddit algorithm.)

IMO the interesting thing about AITA is that it's this specific form that has evolved across thousands and thousands of posts. Almost all AITA posts feature at least one person acting completely out of line; to suffuse yourself in the world of AITA is to live in a world where a huge percentage of people are, if not straight up evil, then susceptible to begin acting completely unreasonably at any time. Within this setting have emerged a lot of recurring tropes of types of assholes: golden child siblings, bridezillas, cheaters of all kinds, etc, almost certainly in part because these stories get a lot of rage-based engagement.

And I think it's mainly this evolution of tropes that enables the biggest problem with the culture of AITA(H), which is that its posts are frequently used to launder various prejudices (misogyny, fatphobia, and transphobia being the ones I see the most). For example, people on AITAH are convinced that paternity fraud is big deal because they are constantly reading posts about paternity fraud. Posters are extremely quick to jump to the conclusion that the women in the posts they read are cheating because they are constantly reading stories about cheating women.

This is all sort of side-stepping the question of whether all this content is fake or even AI-generated. Kind of regardless, one of the most interesting things to me about AITAH is the way that even commenters who believe the posts to be true kind of engage with them as works of fiction. Writing this post made me think that some AITA posts read essentially like mystery stories; commenters are invited to use the details of the post to try to "solve" the conflict and then have their theory of the case either confirmed or subverted when the OP updates the post. For example, I read a post recently where the OP was concerned that his wife had cheated on him, and he mentioned that she had been sleeping on the couch, supposedly because the AC was better in the living room. And people came into the comments to be like, "She could be doing that to avoid being intimate with you" as though the OP would need that to be explained. Like in fiction, there is a feeling that details cannot be meaningless, but unlike in fiction, it almost feels like a faux pas to point out that details are included by the author for specific effect because doing so ruins the conceit that the audience is elucidating the situation for the OP.

Anyway, the conclusion to this post isn't that AITA posts are like ruining the culture I just don't like their vibe I think there's a dark energy there...

the monetization thing annoys me so much like the new youtube update literally means that if he didn’t monetize it there would still be a bunch of ads but all the money would go to youtube

people are stupid and don’t understand the things they bitch about because they’re ignorant and don’t care the sky is also blue

The Logan Paul v. Coffeezilla Lawsuit: Part Two

Here's a situation I never thought I'd be talking about, but here we are! Let's dive on in to Logan Paul's huge defamation suit against Coffeezilla.

Finally, the lawsuit itself! Let's get into all the details of what exactly is going on in this wild case between these two YouTube juggernauts.

By the way, I'll be referring to Coffeezilla as Findeisen in my work about this case because that's his legal last name, and I didn't pass the bar and get a BigLaw job to spend my free time dictating the word "Coffeezilla" into my iPhone as I'm stuck in LA traffic. I'm gonna do it the legit way. Sue me, or don't—you know I'll win. ;)

Check back for updates as the case goes on; I will publish them when I have time to work on them. Let's get into the lawsuit as it stands now.

Logan Paul is the plaintiff in this lawsuit, and he filed the case in the US District Court of the Western District of Texas—Federal Court. Findeisen is based in Texas, while Paul resides in Puerto Rico. The latter made an interesting choice by filing in federal court, as Findeisen can't use the anti-SLAPP laws afforded in Texas and applicable in Texas state court. A SLAPP suit—meaning Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation—essentially means you can't sue your critics into silence or otherwise use your power combined with that of the justice system to intimidate or censor them. This also means the Texas Citizens Participation Act, an act that allows defendants to file to dismiss such a suit that infringes their free speech. Both of these statutes save time and money for the defendant, especially the latter, which would halt the suit before it even enters discovery, but why would Paul want to spare Findeisen any expenses? He doesn't, so he didn't. We can thank the 5th Circuit determined these laws don't apply in federal court; Paul's counsel appears to know the law, so that's something.

Now to the actual lawsuit; like, really this time.

Paul alleges that Findeisen's comments about his CryptoZoo debacle "perpetuates a false narrative that CryptoZoo was a scam orchestrated by Paul," continuing that Findeisen, "knew he was making false statements when he published the videos." All of this started as soon as Findeisen started publishing his commentary content to YouTube in December of 2022. Paul commented at the time, "You led the charge to drive and monetize a narrative telling millions of people that I'm a fraud or I tried to scam my audience. That is patently false." At the time, Paul said Findeisen didn't reach out until December 24th for "the facts," but the latter claims he reached out in October of 2022, ultimately getting no reply. This was enough to get Paul off his back for the timing being, even prompting the would-be crypto mogul to praise the commentator for "bringing [the situation] to light." This wasn't enough of a white flag for Findeisen, though, and he told Paul he'd continue to watch the story and advised the latter that, "the right thing to do here is file refunds; that's what this has always been about."

Since Paul confirmed Findeisen was being truthful, where's the defamation? Besides, Texas has a one-year statute of limitations on libel claims; it's been nearly two years. So, what now?

Shortly thereafter, Paul announced his new "three-step plan" to fix things, and it goes as follows: he would burn his coins so he had no financial interest, offer a rewards program worth $1.5M for disappointed players so they cash in and get out, and finish and deliver the game. Some of his fans weren't happy with that, though, and so they sued him, going into arbitration and being represented by none other than AttorneyTom himself, Tom Kherkher.

Six months after all of this went down, Findeisen tweeted that Paul had blocked him, writing that "Paul is the type of dude to thank you when you expose his scam, then block you when you remind him to pay up." This tweet is the first real example of defamation given by Paul, alleging it as libel per se, or a statement so damaging on its face the plaintiff doesn't need to prove special damages; essentially, it's damaging enough as is.

Understanding what actual defamation means in a court of law—I have made a post about it as a general referential educational tool already—Paul claims that the above statement was damaging to his reputation, saying that "the accusation that Paul operated a financial scam is one that tends to harm his reputation, so as to lower him in the estimation of the community, or deter third persons from associating or dealing with him. The June 29, 2023 X post is libelous per se as it tends to affect Paul and his profession or occupation and accuses Paul of engaging in illegal conduct."

Interesting, though, as Paul's profession does not fall within the realms of development, finance or business, and rather within the social media space, the allegations of libel per se are applied narrowly at best in this situation. Regardless, though, Paul claims Findeisen knew CryptoZoo wasn't a scam, and posting otherwise would lead others to believe differently. Essentially, Paul is casting the blame onto his various business partners in the endeavor while claiming Findeisen's prior research and documentation validates the former in his role as a mere "hoodwinked" victim in all of this, too, but took it too far as the research swung out of Paul's favor and crept into territory that would "intentionally defraud people in order to increase [Findeisen's] own profile by continuing to attack a well-known celebrity."

A glaring issue with this, though, is not only would Paul have a hard time proving concrete damages as a result of Findeisen's claims, but he'd be hard-pressed to prove the latter's characterizations of him untrue, as everything stated by Findeisen was factually based in the reality Paul and his team had created. It's funny that everybody agrees CryptoZoo was a scam, and there's fault to be assumed; the question flying around is, who is actually liable to assume that fault? There's a lot of pointing fingers here.

On June 30, 2023, Findeisen released another video to YouTube, "Logan Paul's Scam Isn't Over," and Paul hit him with a libel per se allegation once again. This is essentially the same as above, with updated claims such as Findeisen's naming of CryptoZoo users as "Paul's victims," and the insinuation of Paul's guilt throughout the June 30 video expose.

Again, the plaintiff's claims here are essentially a reiteration of what is stated above, with Paul claiming Findeisen knew he was promoting false claims in his videos and the latter pointing out that despite Prime's multimillion dollar success, none of Paul's fans had been reimbursed thus far. Paul claims the beef could be squashed if Findeisen reached out to him instead of getting with his manager, while Findeisen says he tried and was met with Paul's criminal defense counsel instead.

The next post will be a continued explanation of this suit, starting with a total breakdown of what Paul's lawyer, Jeffrey Neiman, had to say in response to Findeisen's attempted contact. Important to not here, though, is Neiman "regularly defends individuals and corporations in white collar criminal litigations."

Check back for part three soon. What do you think of this case so far, though? Do you think the defamation allegations are accurate? Whose side are you on? Let me know all your thoughts!

[mariacallous]

YouTube unleashed an influential generation of new internet celebrities in 2007 when it started to share ad revenue with select video creators. For the past couple of years, a snippet of code on YouTube’s website revealed which channels are part of the secretive and exclusive club. But users and activists who had come to rely on that flag suddenly found themselves in the dark last month.

YouTube removed the code, shutting off the ability of creators to keep tabs on their competitors—and of journalists and researchers to hold the world's largest video streaming service accountable for who it allows into what’s known as the YouTube Partner Program, or YPP. Its demise hasn’t been previously reported.

Being part of YPP can be a validation of creators' talents, but the uncertainty left by the code's removal could let both new joiners and kicked-out creators escape attention. In September, YouTube announced that UK comedian Russell Brand had been suspended from YPP after several women accused him of rape and sexual assault. Now, it’s more difficult to track a channel’s status.

Maen Hammad says he and his colleagues at the US corporate responsibility advocacy group Ekō used the code on YouTube channels and tools empowered by it to carry out their investigations. The nonprofit previously used the flag to report on anti-LGBTQ content receiving revenue from YouTube. “I would have to believe that YouTube took out the source code after many civil society groups were using them to corroborate that YouTube was monetizing some of the worst disinformation on the internet,” Hammad says.

Tony Woodall, who runs a travel channel that he hopes will soon meet the viewership requirements to join YPP, made use of YouTube’s transparency about accounts in the program in recent months. He used the Google Chrome extension Is YouTube Channel Monetized?, which was powered by the code snippet, to research and learn from the strategies of other travel accounts already in YPP. “YouTube creators like to know which other creators are getting monetized and ask, ‘Why not me?’” Woodall says. He now feels deflated—the extension has stopped working, and no clear alternatives are available.

Asked about the vanished code, YouTube spokesperson Kimberly Taylor says the service constantly makes updates to improve the privacy of creators and viewers. While ads appear on a variety of videos and channels, just those in YPP get a portion of sales. Whether someone is earning ad revenue share is a fact YouTube intends to keep private with the channel owner, Taylor says.

The sensitivity of that information is debatable. Lindz Amer, a transgender, nonbinary creator of kids’ content in YPP, says they never found it concerning for the public to know they received a share of ad revenue from YouTube. “People already assume my channel is monetized, because they see my subscriber count and they see ads,” says Amer, who has nearly 29,000 subscribers on YouTube. “I absolutely understand the importance of privacy but it’s not something that matters to me as much as my address not being online.��

Coded Mystery

YouTube, which is owned by Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, pays up to 55 percent of ad revenue and a portion of subscription sales to more than 2 million creators who’ve met viewership and quality requirements to become part of YPP. After YouTube said it improved its ability to identify appropriate content, it began in November 2020 showing ads on non-YPP channels, from which it keeps 100 percent of the ad sales. But the ads expansion made it challenging for the public to authoritatively determine the creators included in the program and getting a revenue share.

Fortunately for watchdogs and wannabe members of YPP trying to monitor their competitors, internet archives show that in June 2021 the publicly accessible source code for YouTube channels’ homepages began including a piece of JavaScript including a flag showing “true” or “false” for “is_monetization_enabled.” By no later than December 2021, internet sleuths had spotted the helpful code. Software developers sprung into action, developing ad-supported websites and free browser add-ons that automatically looked for “true” or “false” in the code for a channel and displayed to users whether a particular channel was enrolled in YPP and thus receiving ad payouts.

At least one analytics tool used by millions of YouTube creators, vidIQ, integrated a monetization checker based on the code directly into its platform after users requested the feature. Chrome’s extension store shows a handful of such offerings collectively have more than 7,000 users.

The owner of the website Is This Channel Monetized, who goes by Alex Portman, says he developed his own tool in November 2022 because he works in digital marketing and needed to assess whether which YouTube channel strategies were commercially viable. “I figured I was not the only one needing this, so I turned it into an online tool,” Portman says. It’s been an unprofitable venture, but it’s generated significant traffic and paid off by benefitting his day job.

Portman and other developers say the code on YouTube channels disappeared as early as November 17—the day after WIRED asked YouTube about the flag when fact-checking a story about YouTube excluding creators in the Palestinian territories from its revenue-sharing arrangement. WIRED had used the code to confirm that Palestinian channels were not in YPP. YouTube did not dispute the accuracy of the code and generally does not publicly comment on a specific channel’s monetization status.

After YouTube removed the code, Portman says, his website experienced a surge in visits. He rushed to develop a way to use other clues to provide the same information.

His new system assumes a channel is in YPP if it meets the program minimum of 1,000 subscribers (though YouTube is gradually lowering the threshold to 500) and most of its recent videos have ads. Channels with other visible monetization features like memberships or Super Thanks are also considered part of YPP, since being in the program is a prerequisite but those options have not been widely adopted by channels. Portman has to start reporting some channel’s status as “unknown” when there aren’t enough clues to provide a clear answer.

“I haven't reached out to YouTube support, as they are generally not helpful at all,” Portman says. “I highly doubt they will ever address this.”

The advocacy group Ekō had used the monetization code and tools based on it to study financial support for problematic content on YouTube. The group published a report in October about seven channels apparently in YPP that accounted for 13 videos with what Ekō described as anti-LGBTQ speech. When following up last month, Ekō’s Hammad found that eight videos seemed to no longer show ads. Because the YPP-status-checking tools had broken, he could not determine whether the channels behind the uploads had been booted from YPP entirely. YouTube’s Taylor says ads don’t appear on videos violating YouTube guidelines, which include restrictions against hateful and derogatory content.

Media Matters for America, a nonprofit that calls out alleged misinformation spread by conservative commentators and the advertisers funding them, had taken advantage of the YPP-status-check functionality to inform its own work. “Rolling back transparency will negatively impact monetization research overall, not just at Media Matters,” spokesperson Laura Keiter says. “It's disappointing that we will need to look for new methods.”

WIRED couldn’t determine whether any academic researchers had relied on the code while studying online video. One professor speaking on the condition of anonymity to avoid retribution from YouTube says they had previously looked at the flag and that it would have been valuable to their future research. “Knowing which channels seek to monetize on YouTube and which don’t would be great for studying the online creator economy,” the professor says.

YouTube spokesperson Taylor says scholars are welcome to request data through a research program open to students and staff at higher-education institutions. That data does not include information on whether a channel is part of YPP or is receiving ad-revenue-sharing payments.

To ensure YPP creators are getting paid for their work, YouTube this year has forced millions of viewers to disable ad blockers if they want to watch videos without delays or at all, frustrating users and causing chaos in the ad-blocker developer community.

Within the community that emerged around the YPP code flag, the developer of an open source monetization-checker extension who goes by Shaz suspects that the popular vidIQ service distributing the functionality may have put the issue on YouTube’s radar and “put the final nail in the coffin.” VidIQ CEO Rob Sandie says YouTube changes the data it provides all the time. “That's their decision, and we respect that, and we'll continue to find more ways to help creators,” he says.

Shaz was quick to give up on his extension after the code’s disappearance. He pulled it from the Chrome store and archived his project on the code repository GitHub, closing it off to further updates. At least unless a new clue leaks someday.

Youtube actually changed their curse words policy recently. It’s now back to have video mild swear words be eligible for full monetization, fuck words in the first seven seconds are only eligible for limited ads but videos where they use fuck in general can still eligible for monetization as long as it’s not gratuitous (read: saying fuck or fucking other strong swears like cunt or shit after every fucking other fucking word is still not fucking allowed) and you still can’t have strong swears in the title or thumbnail.

TL;DR it’s mostly been reverted back how it was before the November change, but the real shocking bit (and you might need to sit down for this) is that they actually made a video detailing the changes and the policy 

youtu (dot) be/2hIyPAt-xDA

Huh, I actually didn't know that they updated the policy. The last thing I remember hearing about YouTube's management was that Susan was stepping down but the new guy that's coming in was the one to push for 'NFT integration' for the site.

Building Your YouTube Cash Cow Channel: A Step-by-Step Guide

YouTube has evolved from a platform for cat videos into a lucrative source of income for content creators worldwide. If you're looking to turn your passion into profit, building a YouTube Cash Cow Channel could be your path to success. In this step-by-step guide, we'll explore the key elements of creating and growing a channel that generates consistent revenue.

1. Find Your Niche

Before diving into content creation, identify a niche that aligns with your interests and expertise. Your niche should be specific enough to target a particular audience but broad enough to create a substantial following. Research competitors and trends to assess the niche's potential for growth and monetization.

2. Create High-Quality Content

Quality is paramount on YouTube. Invest in good equipment, such as cameras, microphones, and lighting, to ensure your videos are visually and audibly appealing. Develop a content strategy that provides value, educates, entertains, or solves problems for your target audience. Consistency is key; establish a posting schedule to keep your viewers engaged.

3. Optimize SEO for Visibility

To stand out on YouTube, optimize your videos for search engine visibility. Use relevant keywords in your video titles, descriptions, and tags. Craft compelling thumbnails that entice viewers to click. Engage with your audience through thoughtful comments and encourage them to like, share, and subscribe.

4. Monetize Your Channel

Once you've gained some traction, it's time to monetize your channel. YouTube offers several revenue streams:

a. Ad Revenue: Enroll in the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) to earn money through ads displayed on your videos. To qualify, your channel needs 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months.

b. Channel Memberships: Offer exclusive perks to subscribers who join your channel as members. This can include access to behind-the-scenes content, custom emojis, and shout-outs.

c. Merchandise Shelf: Sell your merchandise directly through your channel using the merchandise shelf feature.

d. Sponsored Content: Partner with brands for sponsored videos or product placements. Ensure the products align with your niche and are relevant to your audience. The scribehow has more information about the cashcow.

5. Build a Loyal Community

Foster a sense of community by engaging with your audience. Respond to comments, ask for feedback, and take viewer suggestions into consideration. Hosting live streams or Q&A sessions can help strengthen your connection with your viewers.

6. Collaborate and Network

Collaborating with other YouTubers can expose your channel to new audiences. Look for creators within your niche or complementary niches and propose mutually beneficial collaborations. Attend industry events and connect with fellow content creators to expand your network.

7. Track Analytics and Refine Strategy

Regularly review your YouTube Analytics to gain insights into your audience's behavior. Understand which videos perform best, where your viewers are coming from, and their demographics. Use this data to refine your content strategy and improve your channel's performance.

8. Diversify Your Income

While ad revenue is a significant income source, don't rely solely on it. Explore additional revenue streams, such as affiliate marketing, merchandise sales, online courses, or Patreon memberships. Diversifying your income can provide stability and financial security.

9. Stay Informed and Adapt

YouTube is constantly evolving, with new features and trends emerging regularly. Stay informed about the platform's updates and adapt your strategy accordingly. Be open to trying new formats and approaches to keep your content fresh and engaging.

10. Stay Committed

Building a successful YouTube Cash Cow Channel takes time and dedication. It may be a while before you start seeing substantial income. Stay committed to your niche, consistently create high-quality content, and adapt to the ever-changing YouTube landscape. In conclusion, creating a YouTube Cash Cow Channel is a viable way to turn your passion into a profitable venture. By finding your niche, producing quality content, optimizing for SEO, and diversifying your income streams, you can build a thriving channel that provides a consistent source of revenue. Remember that success on YouTube requires patience, persistence, and a deep understanding of your audience's needs and preferences.
