  Wow... and as you can guess, it's not going over well -> YouTube will now run ads on some creator videos, but it won't give them any of the revenue because they're not big enough to be enrolled in its Partner Program https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  @Techmeme @loudmouthjulia Let's be clear... this is greedy. YouTube pulled the reports and saw the millions of creators not part of their program and said we need that money.

  Oh hey @Youtube, this is a terrible idea. If we're not getting a cut of the ad rev, then don't put your advertising on the video. Simple. https://twitter.com/...
