YouTube Revenue Crash: The Future of Michael Saves

The Michael Saves YouTube channel has been affected by a revenue issue since November 16, 2022. I am one of many creators impacted. YouTube provides limited ways for creators to get support and the responses I've gotten from YouTube aren't adding up. In this video, I share what's happening and how I've had to pivot to continue my career. Please like this video and leave a comment so that more people can see it.

Thanks for pulling through with all of the likes and comments! I'm continuing with MichaelSaves.com and will upload videos to YouTube, but things may look different until this issue is resolved.

Nothing is more detrimental to YouTube content creators more than YouTube.

[danjoseph]

I hope this gets settled soon. Your channel is a great service and is consistently excellent.

I've been hit with this issue which dropped my revenue by 90%. I've decided to focus on my website too. A Twitter user was told by his Partner Manager that she's no longer allowed to speak on it. YouTube knows about this and is clearly being dishonest. Best of luck to you.

It’s always suspicious when you can’t get a straight answer. When questions become uncomfortable, the buck gets passed.

[JenniferMarieVO]

Thanks for this video! This has affected my channel as of 4 days ago, and I am absolutely shocked. I didn't know this was happening to other creators, and the response from YouTube has been copy/paste responses. Very disheartening and worrisome.

Your content has really aided me in my quest to become a cord-cutter. YouTube, Michael is providing invaluable content, not available elsewhere. You need to compensate him fairly, not starve him out.

[MichaelCoveYT]

Same thing happening to my channel right now. I’ve emailed, reached out on social media and they pretend like they don’t know what they’re doing. I think Youtube is just stealing our revenue in the name of ‘invalid traffic’.

[CaffeinatedBlogger]

Thanks for making this video Michael. If anyone from YouTube watches this - please be aware that 100's of other channels are affected by the exact same bug, including mine. I hope that the problem is resolved soon for you Michael and for other affected channels.

I'm sorry you & many others are having to deal with this. It's usually a case of "if it's not one thing it's another" when it comes to YouTube. You have provided invaluable information and you are appreciated.

[CordCuttersLI]

Wow, sorry to hear this bro. Come on YouTube, fix this!

[PhilUKNet]

Exactly the same. Exactly the same date. It wasn't a temporary glitch. It dropped a huge amount and has stayed that way ever since.

[WPressDoctor]

Hi Michael, thanks for speaking out. Its still happening to other channels unfortunately. So how are things now, any news or recovering in revenue?

[admirals]

I hope YouTube gets their stuff together. There are so many good content creators like yourself that YouTube should appreciate having.

[paulboiano]

Michael is a man of integrity and this channel is fantastic. Let’s all share this video with others via social media. Google seems to be ripping off its content creators on YouTube and this needs to stop!

[nancyso]

Michael, thanks for all the information. Hope things settled. Want to continue saving with you.

[vickicollier]

Thanks for the service you provide. We are retired and used your videos to understand how to cut the cord and begin streaming.

[mikeforehand]

Your work has been helpful to me. I am sorry that something sinister has happened.

[TonyRodriguez-mxtw]

You are one of only a handful of channels to witch I subscribe. The reason I have continued to be a subscriber is because of your “just the facts” approach and obvious benefits I have enjoyed. I actually cut the cable and signed up with YouTube TV in large part because of you and this channel. So, YouTube, get your act together and settle this please…..NOW!

[LordBaltimore]

Youtube should resolve this issue as soon as possible, because the other platforms are growing.
