Yup, that's right.

I have just revoked my Freedom partnership on Youtube. Why? Because I think that sharing and product placement are more important than money itself and potential earnings.

Surely, there's no doubt that Forgotten Dawn is still an incredibly small channel with a little over 300 subscribers, as well as there's no doubt that I open up a bottle of champagne every time one of my videos passes the 100 views mark. However, it's also true that by joining their network I basically renounced to some of my freedoms, including the ability to decide whether videos I should monetize or not, which is — in my honest and humble opinion, bullshit.

I saw virtually no changes ever since I joined and I basically wasted my time even trying to gain something from it. So long story short, I'm saying a big flat NO to their ways, ensuring I have complete control over my own content without having to follow any enclosed community for the sole purpose of pushing my own channel towards lesser and lesser freedom.

Sorry for the rant, folks, just wanted it to get out of my chest for anyone of you who's thinking "maybe I should monetize my channel". Think twice.
