Hi, You may have seen the new video of youtube policy regarding the sub-networks and I seem to have fallen into a bit of a problem due to this.

I partnered with dropbacktv (freedom network) last month, and now the new policy is in place. I've lost all my revenue and in my channel status and features" tab, it says i'm not part of ANY network.

So, My earnings are gone and i'm no longer part of dropbacktv aka freedom network.

this is true. there is hardly any info and i dont think they know what to do at this point. all we can do is wait it out and see if they come up with something. i would try emailing dropbacktv see whats up just in case to see if it was the youtube policy change.

My friend whos part of dropbacktv, has automatically been moved to "freedom" network, normally on his channel settings i would say "dropbacktv powered by freedom network", not it just says "freedom"

Hello,

We have zero knowledge of where Freedom! stands with sub-networks including us. Please note that we will work with Freedom! and YouTube to try to find a solution for our partners in order to keep them. As one of the top Freedom! networks, we hopefully will be able to find a solution.

With that being said, please shoot us an email, and we will look into whether or not your are still partnered with us. As far as we know, you are. Legally, we will must be served a shutdown notice by Freedom! before they can take our partners direct and shut us down. New partners are still being on boarded, and from what we can see, all old partners are still there.

Nic King
DropbackTV President & CEO

There is hardly any info but It does say on the policy that they will terminate accounts and reserve the right to alter the policy at any time
"Subnetworks are not permitted, and accounts that violate this policy will be subject to penalties. YouTube reserves the right to modify this policy at any point in time."

If you are in a sub-network that is being shut down your channel should be transferred over to Freedom. Did you accept the terms and conditions for the youtube partner program (YPP), if not that may have been the reason you were kicked. I'd suggest contact support and they should be able to get you back in or see what's going on.

Even if you get kicked form Freedom all the money you have made will stay and be paid out as usual.

Lol, You mean the "learn more.." button? yes of course i did that when i got signed up with dropbacktv...

I don't know why its taking so long to fix this

Not the learn more button, there should have been a pop up request on your Youtube to accept the YPP. People who haven't accepted that get their monetisation turned off by youtube and kicked from the network.
