Hi, I'm Brooke Baldwin and you're watching Pew News.
*Cheesey news station music*
*Pewds sounds congested in this video*
We have so many news!
*pew pew sounds*
Pew news this week because I've been away and there's been a lot of stuff
... I wanna talk about
So let just jump...
into....
*very faintly* ..it
Our first story comes live from a cave in Zimbabwe from YouTuber, Casey Neistat
Casey Neistat sat down with Youtube
CBO
Which is short for...
Chief Bro....
O...
Robert Kyncl. This is the first time this has ever happened, guys.
This is a big deal
YouTube is finally talking to its community :3
[...]
It was very informative
Robert: By the way, the one category I didn't mention is..ah
...and we would like more and more female creators on the platform. Right?
Casey: You hear that? Big opportunities on the platform.
But not for me. What are you... ?
*chuckles*
Casey: This is a big question I have--I've always had, which is that in all my years in television,
I never met a TV studio head...
...who wasn't at one time a TV producer and in cinema I've never met a movie studio head that who didn't produce movies.
But no one on the YouTube sort of senior executive leadership side has ever made a living as a creator.
*offended* A tut tuput
Excuse me, Casey?
EXCUSE ME, Casey.
This is why you need to listen to Pew News because we get the facts right
100% of the time. We have a hundred percent track record of authenticity and...
Handsomeness
Did you forget about Susan? Come on! I guess this is kind of why I think the question was a bit redundant, 'cuz...
Let's say you're... you're the head of a book publishing company, doesn't mean you necessarily want to be a writer.
Just to do that. It doesn't really... you don't have to be a YouTuber or YouTube producer
Who the h*ll produces YouTube videos? That doesn't make any sense and then Susan did make a channel?
And she never upload anything because why should she?! Like... She's not a creator.
It doesn't make any sense. She probably doesn't want to. She's probably busy doing other things
It doesn't make ANY sense. She did do an update that we talked about last Pew news
Which I thought was great. YouTube needs to do more or Susan and other big heads..
big heads? Needs to do at least...
Quarterly updates with its community because we've been left in the dark for too long, man
And I thought that was a good first step, but I'm not sure about this YouTube channel
I'd be so happy if she just becomes like a shit post [laughs] show or something.
So, Casey basically asked the question
"Why does it cost me money that your system doesn't work with the demonetization?"
What it... what if you view it as a way of saying "we think this might not be advertiser friendly?"
So we're gonna cut your revenue on it, but we're still playing it
So it's costing you the... It's costing you, the Creator money while we figure this out.
And I think that I know I as a creator found that very insulting.
I've known that very upsetting. Why do I have to take your algorithms mistakes? Why does it have to cost me money?
How does YouTube address something like that at the kind of scale that...?
I remember you uh... calling on this issue.
Maybe you as an audience, don't really care, but just picture that just one day you
... you do a full-time job in just one day for no reason whatsoever you're not getting paid that day
I think it's extremely frustrating when you're trying to run a business.
That's what I'm doing, essentially, even me. I have employees, technically.
*guilty* Eeeee....
and
For some reason to not get paid because their system sucks
It's very frustrating and to be honest
there's such a divide between YouTube and youtubers that I don't think they understand what that feels like I would love for a
Figurehead of YouTube to say you know what until we fix this problem
I am going to cut some of my revenue as well.
I don't necessarily...
I'm not calling anyone out or anything, but that would make me at least feel like okay now
they're on it now. They care now they want to fix this
I know I know that YouTube suffer if the video isn't monetize as well, but as an individual creator
It's extremely frustrating, and I'm sure you can understand as well a lot of a lot of CEOs
do this when a company is in crisis, they'll...they'll cut their earnings short, so it's not like that crazy a thing.
[Casey:] So, I invite you to now just kind of use this platform as a way to tell all of us creators in the community
what matters to you.
What do you stand for and what is next for YouTube as a platform?
*clank of dropped clipboard*
[Robert:] Sure. So
So what we stand for is... uh
Is really for freedoms?
Freedom of opportunity. Anybody to make a living on YouTube, you know bring revenue from the entire world and there are many wonderful examples.
Freedom of speech; as important as ever.
Freedom of information; accessing it
I grew up in a communist country in Czechoslovakia behind the Iron Curtain
It's really important
You know the openness and freedom of speech and freedom of information is really important to me and that that is why I...
I love what I do and then the fourth one is
is freedom to belong.
I was really glad to hear this. I think YouTube,
whether you like it or not has become such a
Important piece of culture that it needs to
maintain
freedom of speech at all cost and I think within the current political landscape it seems that
The line between freedom of speech is just getting twisted all the time, so to have someone like Robert
Say that I think was a very reassuring, and I hope
They keep that mentality through the end
*Eerie ethereal sounds*
*PEW, pew, PEW!!*
*pew, pew, PEW!!*
*Pew, PEW, PEPPEPEPEPEPE*
*PEWPEPEPEPEPEPE*
[Emergency alerts sounding in background] It would seem that YouTube just made a tweet...
talking about finally addressing to the monetization issue:
Roses are red Violets are blue...
subscribe to black creators
(Silent laughter)
What? I mean like, I support black people and their rights as a human *laughs*
I don't know why I laughed. It just sounds so weird.
I don't mean for my statement to be racist but like isn't this a bit much??
YouTube:
No.
You know subscribing to black creators is great and all, but what I truly think is that you should subscribe
to all
creators
because ALL lives matter...
Your... your move, libtaaards
*Imitates Edgar's gruff growl*
*laughs at self*
Skye Williams tweeted we black craters are fffk-ing fantastis...
fantastic with or without you and your soapbox
Don't tell people to sub to me, because I'm black. I want people to sub to me, because I'm an excellent content creater
I find it really....
This statement from YouTube to be extremely....
Harmless. I mean, they're really just saying hey
Support minorities, but at the same time... At the same time. It's saying so much more as well!
Which I don't even want to get into, but it's a really strange thing for them to come out of...
out of nowhere, but
Hey, man, you got to do what you got to do. You guys, this is uh...
Don't ban me.

Our next news
*Emergency alert sounding in background*
The piano sound alarm is going off again.
Wow! It would seem that Black Panther scored 98 percent on Rotten Tomatoes
*Alarm sounds once more*
We got another pew news sound alarm it would seem that Kim Jong-un just scored another...
Hole-in-one. Wow! How amazing! What a believable trustworthy world we live in how about having, that's great.
The last news is probably the most important one!
Fiverr Guys got banned from Fiverr without any form of notice. They made a video saying again
They got banned these were the guys that got banned through the controversy with fiverr
and and me with The Wall Street, Journal thing that happened last year...
I spoke to fiverr
It's a big company the people I talked to we're really trying to get them unbanned and then they finally did it
And now something has happened again, and they've been on this site for four years
And now I don't know where they made a video explaining that fiverr
Just banned them with no reason or explanation why
fiverr is consistently updating and evolving its marketplace to better suit our community and the needs of skilled freelancers and entrepreneurs across the globe
Therefore this kind of services are unfortunately not in our editorial focus anymore and were sidelined from our marketplace
Sidelined you kick them out you banned them. This is the problem that constantly happens with big websites.
We don't really have any Union. There's no Union for internet creators
There's no fight back if stuff like this happens. You just left stranded and
Only thing we can really do is speak up about it, so I really urge you to write to fiverr
Talk to them explain. Why this is wrong and don't spam a bunch of hate just
Be considerate and be smart, companies Don't give a sh
About anything but their own image. funny, fiverr guys did nothing wrong
unbanned them
Please fiverr if you have if your fiverr if you're listening
I know we had we had our bumps in the past
But I really truly feel like these guys don't have anything to do with this. They haven't done anything bad!
Why not keep them on their site and let them earn their profits like they're doing
That's it for Pew News.
