The Partnership Program - ATV and Kiddie Networks

I Love YTtalk
I am sure there are a few people that have also noticed this recently but the YouTube Partnership Program has been slowly turning down a dark road in the community. The sudden popularity of the "AwesomenessTV Network" has, in my opinion, played a major role in the downfall of this program.

AwesomenessTV offers Partnerships to anyone, with the requirements of 0 subs, and 0 views. They have an estimated 29,000+ Channels in there network, with big networks like Machinima only having around 7,000. This shows, that not only are they accepting super, super low requirements on channels. But they are accepting hundreds of these channels daily...
AND THEY AREN'T DOING ANYTHING WRONG!!! yet..

The YouTube CMS has no set requirement to add a channel, therefore channels with 0 subs/views can be easily added with no problems. It is all up to the CMS Holder. Companies like Iricom and xDigital are also offering these services to almost anyone with a good knowledge of the English Language and a YouTube 'Network' Channel. This is not only ruining the fun of "working for your partnership" and just handing them out like they're nothing.

Having a partnership has turned into something "Anyone can get" and has lost its originality and unique sense of pride and achievement. I think something HAS to be done about ATV and a serious re-negotiation with there requirements is in order..

Let me know what you think about this to?

Yep threads are made on this network several times a day here. They are a sham network, who are also sending people linking emails who have never signed a contract. Best to avoid really.

I didn't want to aim this at only ATV, but all these little networks that are doing nothing but keeping money to themselves.

Oh yeah there are loads. And there are also an increasing number of 'networks' that are owned by 15 year old kiddiewinks who know nothing about anything when it comes to running a business (which is what a network is, really). We've had a few in here. The best one was a 'network' that said 'enable adsense and BOOM you're in our network!' which just makes me facepalm right through my skull really haha.

You have got to be kidding me. I just smashed my face onto a knife rack. I swear these networks are going to lead to the eventual downfall of the Partnership Program, and it will become nothing more then an extra 150 pixels on your channel..

Nothing more, nothing less.

It's terrible. Not to mention potentially detrimental for any poor sucker who does this on a gaming channel. That's just asking for trouble.
 
Yes, Considering the process for removing your channel from Adsense can take weeks, even months to complete. When I was working with Vexon, we saw many of these channels that met the requirements but had no knowledge in the Adsense Program.
