Okay, so I've had TWO e-mails recently from this 'network', telling me to add someone called Ethan on Skype. I applied to this 'network' back when I had about 4 subs and forgot about it.
In the last couple of weeks they have mass e-mailed me and a bunch of others telling us to add this person on Skype, with this e-mail:
Right. So DO NOT APPLY TO THIS NETWORK. DO NOT APPLY FOR THE DIRECTORSHIP!
Here are the reasons to avoid:
- The oldest person in this network is 18. Some of the 'staff' are as young as 13.
- Their network website is a free one on Blogspot.
- Their e-mail is just some kid's gmail address.
- They are 'selling' Partnerships for contacts on Skype.
- There is zero information regarding payment or CMS etc on this website of theirs.
- Their entry requirements are basically 'if you have a channel, you're in'
- They demand 'all rights' to your videos once you upload it.
- They require a sub and a place in your sub box to apply
- His claim is 'I can GET YOU a YouTube Partnership'. Just let the dodginess of that sink in for a moment.
Just avoid. They're latching on to tiny channels (they tried to get me in when I had about 10 subs and 60 overall views, if that) and they're simply a bunch of kids partnered by Machinima who have set up some kind of sub-network. They clearly know nothing about how to run a network given that they're selling partnerships for Skypes.
