We made it to VIP episode 3! In this episode of the Video Insiders Podcast, Tom and Carlos talk about the dreaded YouTube Multi-Channel Network phenomenon and the reasons they believe they've disappearing and evolving.

It just seems like there's not many out there anymore, many have gone out of business, been sold off. Just a few years ago YouTube MCNs where everywhere, you'd set up a new channel and within minutes of uploading a new video you would receive an MCN invite.
