A chance to join like-minded people as we toiled away in our respective studio spaces. I started attending last year as a getaway from my regular environment. You learn a lot about yourself over a four day crunch to finish a film. Lockdown is a fun event, even though you’re always under the pressure of a deadline. Over the Victoria Day long weekend teams worked on shorts loosely themed around Brave New Worlds. Part of that was spent in Calgary at Quickdraw Animation Society participating in their annual Animation Lockdown. I recently returned from a three week trip to Canada. I planned on using their resources as I relaunch my channel with more regular content in 2018 and CFN have made me very proud to be partnered with them. I’ll be going into more details about plans and projects in future posts but I really want to take a moment and commend Channel Frederator on this. I might not be the most active member of the community but I full-heartedly appreciate when they prove that “ Frederator Loves You!” is more than a marketing slogan.

Then you’re more than welcome to be fully linked with us, and have access to everything! We just needed to do some tweaking under the hood, and make sure that our dreams of still having you all with us can come true.īelow are some important notes we want to mention:Īll members affected by Youtube’s new policy will still have access to the forums, all our tools, and opportunities while you’re still in contract with us.Īfter your contract ends, we will limit some of the services we offer until you’re able to monetize again.įor those who are interested, we’re dedicated to continue to help you reach the required 1K subs and 4K threshold. This was decided on day one of this big change, a unanimous decision from all levels of management here at Frederator. You will not be disabled from your partnership with us, you will still have access to our tools/platforms, and opportunities for growth to reach that threshold for monetization.

We are extremely proud to announce that although YouTube is disabling their partnership with some of you, we here at Channel Frederator consider you members in good standing.

If I’m unable to monetize my channel by the 20th, what’s my status with CFN and the tools/community it provides? This left them scrambling to get things sorted for all of their members. CFN found out about the changes at the same time the rest of us did. Services like Patreon and the recently relaunched Drip are going to be crucial if creators are ever going to move away from relying on ads for revenue.Ĭircling the conversation back, the partner changes impact me personally again in relation to Multichannel Networks, specifically my MCN the Channel Frederator Network. If it did it would be dealing with the same issues any site of that size would. I agree with Hank Green that no real competition for YouTube currently exists.
