[0:01]good morning YouTube so after nine

[0:03]months of sharing my life on this

[0:07]platform I'm finally applying for

[0:08]monetization on my account I want to

[0:11]explain what that means moving forward

[0:12]so that you're

[0:14]aware

[0:16]so for 9 months YouTube has been making

[0:19]money off of my channel I've known this

[0:21]since the beginning I understand how the

[0:23]platform

[0:25]works I didn't think it was fair

[0:30]I've been generating content for nine

[0:31]months over 500 videos and I don't see

[0:34]any of the revenue from that you have to

[0:37]tolerate all kinds

[0:39]of toxic and abusive behavior on

[0:44]here but I put all of that aside because

[0:47]I was getting something out of it

[0:49]myself my own personal

[0:52]growth watching my journey

[0:55]unfold these were things that mattered a

[0:57]great deal to me and I'm completely

[1:00]different from the person I was from my

[1:01]first video

[1:04]so I enjoyed sharing my life with people

[1:08]I

[1:10]enjoyed

[1:13]it I tried really hard

[1:17]to give people something that they could

[1:19]learn from something that could help

[1:21]them in their own lives and I hope that

[1:22]I

[1:25]did but you know what it's really hard

[1:28]to be on YouTube because

[1:30]you do put up with a lot of

[1:32]abuse you just do I'm going to name what

[1:35]is an actual

[1:37]fact and because of that I decided the

[1:40]only way I would stay on this platform

[1:41]is if I could monetize the channel and

[1:43]then take my videos and put them into

[1:44]their subscription service so that I can

[1:47]limit the number of people who see my

[1:49]channel who interact with me on it and

[1:52]so that's the goal if they approve me

[1:54]for monetization all of my channels are

[1:56]going to go into the subscription

[1:58]service I'll make some videos

[2:01]occasionally for a wider audience that I

[2:04]don't think

[2:05]will result in some of the fragmentation

[2:09]and abuse that I've experienced on here

[2:12]but largely I'll keep sharing my life in

[2:15]the same way that I always have only I I

[2:18]will limit engagement on

[2:21]it because I'm such a real person

[2:24]because I'm not fragmented I'm not

[2:27]compartmentalized and I just speak the

[2:29]truth I speak

[2:31]exactly what I

[2:35]see I've always had concerns that

[2:38]YouTube might try to reject my me for

[2:41]moneti

[2:42]monetization you know I think that

[2:44]that's a a real

[2:46]possibility I think that they have a

[2:48]very convoluted process for this I'm in

[2:50]the Second Step where they're just

[2:51]linking an AdSense account it says it

[2:53]can take up to three weeks as a

[2:55]programmer since the sixth grade I

[2:57]understand what's really happening here

[3:00]and then after that step it can take a

[3:02]month for them to review your account so

[3:04]it could be up to two months before I

[3:06]even have an answer to

[3:08]this this

[3:12]has this has only made me even more

[3:16]hesitant to keep posting on here because

[3:18]I understand what's happening they're

[3:20]going to keep generating Revenue off of

[3:23]my channel and keeping all of it while

[3:27]putting me through their corporate

[3:28]process to decide if I'm a good enough

[3:30]human being to deserve monetization on

[3:32]the platform that they're they're taking

[3:34]money from from my content from my

[3:37]life so I don't know what's going to

[3:39]happen between then and now this might

[3:41]just be the last video I have up here

[3:43]just sitting here while I wait to hear

[3:45]what they decide to

[3:46]do if they reject me I will delete my

[3:50]channel because I'm not going to be

[3:53]judged by a corporation for being a real

[3:55]human being on here

[4:01]so yeah we'll see what happens

Summary

rswfire announces his decision to apply for YouTube monetization after nine months of content creation without compensation. He explains that YouTube has been generating revenue from his 500+ videos while he received nothing. He describes experiencing toxic and abusive behavior on the platform but continuing because of personal growth benefits. His plan is to move all content to YouTube's subscription service if approved for monetization, limiting audience access and engagement. He expresses concern about YouTube's complex approval process, which could take up to two months, during which YouTube continues profiting from his content. He states that if rejected for monetization, he will delete his channel rather than be judged by a corporation for being authentic.
