I've been with Freedom! for a little under a year now. I was once a moderator, High contribution to trying to help smaller channels grow by offering critiques and the like, questions answered and different points of view that the "average" YouTuber would offer.
When I first started I had about 20 subs, Now at about 304, I get on average about 7-8k views a month according to heartbeat. Now as a small channel that is a huge increase... A lot of people here would kill for that amount of subs/views. So I may speak for most when stating that I've made quite a leap. If you were to watch my first video to my latest you'd see a change in production, quality, and overall presence. Yet when submitting a request to increase my share this is what happened...
Here you'll see what is needed to increase your revenue share... pretty simple right? It used to be much more in depth and you weren't assuming you qualified just like you have to now.
I'd like to highlight when this was modified, not posted but modified, this was in 2014, where are they? How long have these been in beta? I won't dog this because this horse is dead, its been beaten to death.
I hope you can read this but this was the reply from the support team the following morning... this morning. If you can't click on it and it will expand so you can read it.
What qualifications must i acquire to be able to fall into the increase of revenue share!? Where can I find this information?
I've dumped a lot of work into my channel and I have numerous offers from other MCM's all stating they will start me at 90% shares... I've stuck with Freedom! But I believe I've been here long enough... Constant forums going down, no definite answers on when chat will be back or freedom points will finally be put in, and to put it bluntly the worst customer service I've ever had from the support team, granted 40% of my earnings are help pay them. (Assuming if they aren't volunteers)
I'm going to un-link from Freedom! today. I will cherish those of you that have helped out and tried to make this partner something to call home or a place for individuals like us to thrive and share ideas, help each other, but I simply cannot go on.
I'm not only quitting because of whats transpired here, I'm quitting because I do not utilize anything Freedom! offers. I don't use the music, feature designers, I just like getting paid every month. But in all honesty that shouldn't be the reason you stay. And what is it that Freedom offers me besides this to account for 40% of my earnings? In my eyes nothing. Because usually you have to pay for feature designers work anyways so where is that money going!? I'm done ranting, I hope some of you will question partnerships. And even if this will be taken down. I still wanted it to get out there.
Thanks for the run guys it's been fun.
TL: DR - I'm quitting Freedom! Find out why above... so you still need to read lol.
