Stop Bitching About YouTube Demonetization

#1: If you put all of your eggs in one (YouTube-colored) basket, that's your fault
--- It's like YouTube was your employer, and all of a sudden they shut down your branch or your business unit and you got laid off.

#2: The real money isn't the pennies from YouTube; the real money is everything else
--- It's like YouTube cut off your allowance when they decided you doing things they didn't want you to do.

#3: YouTube is only enforcing the rules they've had for MONTHS.
--- You were living under YouTube's roof, and they decided they didn't like what you were doing, so they kicked you out.

Moving Forward

#1: Build a brand on a platform you own
--- Start your own website on WordPress, it's free: https://www.ellorywells.com/startablog
#2: View YouTube (or anywhere else) as a distribution channel, not your employer
#3: Read the terms and conditions before you sign or sign up for anything
#4: DailyMotion, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, others?
