YouTube Monetisation

So this is video or something in the description which gives a bit of history what happened during the Gallipoli Peninsula campaign of 1915

The unknown soldier, those who fought for the freedoms we have we shall remember them.

ANZAC Australia, New Zealand Army Corps, They landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula at what is now known as ANZAC Cove April 25th 1915. The invasion was suppose to break the stalemate on the western front by getting supplies and troops into Russia. But the campaign just became another stalemate.

It is estimated that the Turkish 27th and 57th Infantry Regiments lost around 2,000 men, or fifty per cent of their combined strength. The full number of Turkish casualties for the day has not been recorded. During the campaign, 8,708 Australians and 2,721 New Zealanders were killed. The exact number of Turkish dead is not known but has been estimated around 87,000.

Both the ANZACs and the troops from the Ottoman Empire had respect for each other.

“Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives … You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours … You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.”

These famous, heart-rending words, attributed to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who was a commander of Ottoman forces at the Dardenelles during the first world war and later the founder of modern Turkey, grace memorials on three continents, including at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli.

25 April, has since 1916 been recognised in Australia and New Zealand as Anzac Day, now one of their most important national occasions.

The above I believe has what triggered an auto bot or decepticons take your pick… I believe it picked up on a few names and words. Even though these names and words are history. It may not be part of American history (YouTube being an American company) but is part of Australia and New Zealand’s history. It happened 101 years ago.

Now I am not doing YouTube to make money… because if i did I would starving hungry and homeless… this is not about the one $1.00 I would make from this video in its life time, It is about YouTube and their ever changing platform that is collapsing from within. This is all over the ridiculous YouTube advertiser boycott situation. YouTube panicked, over-reacted and demonetised anything that might in any way offend someone with half a brain cell.

I am considering leaving the platform, as it is being taken too far, with the mix of auto bots (no not those auto bots) scanning for copyright which to a degree is fair but the fair use clause also applies on many and the now scanning to titles and descriptions for words that may not deem safe for the guidelines.

First off it is their (YouTube) right to do this, after all it is their business they are looking after, however if you start to piss off to many creators, they will start leaving and many already have… if you have no creators you have no YouTube… and that is a full stop, no if’s, buts or whatevers. No creators, then no viewers, no viewers then no advertisers… Who is first in that line. Who are the ones making it happen for YouTube.

So who do you look after, the advertisers that pay the money, or the creators that are make YouTube and make advertisers want to advertise on their platform… It’s a pretty simple calculation it’s business 101… The more you piss the creators off the more chance they will just move platforms.

No I am not saying the system was perfect before the changes, there were certainly things that needed to be tweak, from stolen videos and scams to the main reason the advertising boycott.

Because at the end of the day it is no skin off my nose if I make a video or not (I enjoy doing it ) but it doesn’t bother me if I don’t. I am not the one loosing out… it will be them…lol
