WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:04.980 Hi, I'm Brooke Baldwin and you're watching Pew News. 00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:10.620 *Cheesey news station music* 00:00:10.780 --> 00:00:13.980 *Pewds sounds congested in this video* 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:18.360 We have so many news! 00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:18.860 *pew pew sounds* 00:00:18.860 --> 00:00:22.800 Pew news this week because I've been away and there's been a lot of stuff 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:24.240 ... I wanna talk about 00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:26.260 So let just jump... 00:00:26.260 --> 00:00:26.900 into.... 00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:29.540 *very faintly* ..it 00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:35.240 Our first story comes live from a cave in Zimbabwe from YouTuber, Casey Neistat 00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:37.580 Casey Neistat sat down with Youtube 00:00:37.900 --> 00:00:39.000 CBO 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:40.840 Which is short for... 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:42.380 Chief Bro.... 00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:44.260 O... 00:00:44.260 --> 00:00:47.760 Robert Kyncl. This is the first time this has ever happened, guys. 00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:48.720 This is a big deal 00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:51.180 YouTube is finally talking to its community :3 00:00:51.460 --> 00:01:03.840 [...] 00:01:04.460 --> 00:01:05.600 It was very informative 00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:09.280 Robert: By the way, the one category I didn't mention is..ah 00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:15.740 ...and we would like more and more female creators on the platform. Right? 00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:17.740 Casey: You hear that? Big opportunities on the platform. 00:01:19.220 --> 00:01:21.980 But not for me. What are you... ? 00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:23.240 *chuckles* 00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:28.460 Casey: This is a big question I have--I've always had, which is that in all my years in television, 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.060 I never met a TV studio head... 00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:37.720 ...who wasn't at one time a TV producer and in cinema I've never met a movie studio head that who didn't produce movies. 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:46.180 But no one on the YouTube sort of senior executive leadership side has ever made a living as a creator. 00:01:46.360 --> 00:01:47.280 *offended* A tut tuput 00:01:47.580 --> 00:01:48.920 Excuse me, Casey? 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:50.480 EXCUSE ME, Casey. 00:01:50.660 --> 00:01:54.040 This is why you need to listen to Pew News because we get the facts right 00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:59.160 100% of the time. We have a hundred percent track record of authenticity and... 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:00.240 Handsomeness 00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:07.369 Did you forget about Susan? Come on! I guess this is kind of why I think the question was a bit redundant, 'cuz... 00:02:08.100 --> 00:02:13.429 Let's say you're... you're the head of a book publishing company, doesn't mean you necessarily want to be a writer. 00:02:14.190 --> 00:02:18.440 Just to do that. It doesn't really... you don't have to be a YouTuber or YouTube producer 00:02:18.660 --> 00:02:24.709 Who the h*ll produces YouTube videos? That doesn't make any sense and then Susan did make a channel? 00:02:24.709 --> 00:02:29.959 And she never upload anything because why should she?! Like... She's not a creator. 00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:34.339 It doesn't make any sense. She probably doesn't want to. She's probably busy doing other things 00:02:34.950 --> 00:02:39.740 It doesn't make ANY sense. She did do an update that we talked about last Pew news 00:02:40.470 --> 00:02:46.970 Which I thought was great. YouTube needs to do more or Susan and other big heads.. 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.280 big heads? Needs to do at least... 00:02:49.470 --> 00:02:53.599 Quarterly updates with its community because we've been left in the dark for too long, man 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.929 And I thought that was a good first step, but I'm not sure about this YouTube channel 00:02:57.209 --> 00:03:01.960 I'd be so happy if she just becomes like a shit post [laughs] show or something. 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.100 So, Casey basically asked the question 00:03:04.220 --> 00:03:09.100 "Why does it cost me money that your system doesn't work with the demonetization?" 00:03:09.150 --> 00:03:14.179 What it... what if you view it as a way of saying "we think this might not be advertiser friendly?" 00:03:14.250 --> 00:03:17.539 So we're gonna cut your revenue on it, but we're still playing it 00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:22.840 So it's costing you the... It's costing you, the Creator money while we figure this out. 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.340 And I think that I know I as a creator found that very insulting. 00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:33.540 I've known that very upsetting. Why do I have to take your algorithms mistakes? Why does it have to cost me money? 00:03:34.100 --> 00:03:38.580 How does YouTube address something like that at the kind of scale that...? 00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:41.620 I remember you uh... calling on this issue. 00:03:41.620 --> 00:03:47.560 Maybe you as an audience, don't really care, but just picture that just one day you 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:54.100 ... you do a full-time job in just one day for no reason whatsoever you're not getting paid that day 00:03:54.100 --> 00:03:59.700 I think it's extremely frustrating when you're trying to run a business. 00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:03.020 That's what I'm doing, essentially, even me. I have employees, technically. 00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:04.640 *guilty* Eeeee.... 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:05.140 and 00:04:05.140 --> 00:04:08.040 For some reason to not get paid because their system sucks 00:04:08.340 --> 00:04:11.149 It's very frustrating and to be honest 00:04:11.150 --> 00:04:17.810 there's such a divide between YouTube and youtubers that I don't think they understand what that feels like I would love for a 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:22.399 Figurehead of YouTube to say you know what until we fix this problem 00:04:22.710 --> 00:04:25.340 I am going to cut some of my revenue as well. 00:04:25.340 --> 00:04:26.780 I don't necessarily... 00:04:26.780 --> 00:04:31.220 I'm not calling anyone out or anything, but that would make me at least feel like okay now 00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:34.279 they're on it now. They care now they want to fix this 00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:41.329 I know I know that YouTube suffer if the video isn't monetize as well, but as an individual creator 00:04:41.329 --> 00:04:46.420 It's extremely frustrating, and I'm sure you can understand as well a lot of a lot of CEOs 00:04:46.420 --> 00:04:52.700 do this when a company is in crisis, they'll...they'll cut their earnings short, so it's not like that crazy a thing. 00:04:53.020 --> 00:04:58.080 [Casey:] So, I invite you to now just kind of use this platform as a way to tell all of us creators in the community 00:04:58.180 --> 00:05:00.000 what matters to you. 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.320 What do you stand for and what is next for YouTube as a platform? 00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:05.900 *clank of dropped clipboard* 00:05:05.900 --> 00:05:08.200 [Robert:] Sure. So 00:05:08.200 --> 00:05:10.060 So what we stand for is... uh 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.160 Is really for freedoms? 00:05:12.330 --> 00:05:19.970 Freedom of opportunity. Anybody to make a living on YouTube, you know bring revenue from the entire world and there are many wonderful examples. 00:05:20.760 --> 00:05:23.740 Freedom of speech; as important as ever. 00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:26.140 Freedom of information; accessing it 00:05:26.500 --> 00:05:30.760 I grew up in a communist country in Czechoslovakia behind the Iron Curtain 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.440 It's really important 00:05:32.440 --> 00:05:38.259 You know the openness and freedom of speech and freedom of information is really important to me and that that is why I... 00:05:38.380 --> 00:05:40.920 I love what I do and then the fourth one is 00:05:41.340 --> 00:05:43.980 is freedom to belong. 00:05:43.980 --> 00:05:46.080 I was really glad to hear this. I think YouTube, 00:05:46.460 --> 00:05:49.420 whether you like it or not has become such a 00:05:50.260 --> 00:05:52.960 Important piece of culture that it needs to 00:05:53.780 --> 00:05:54.800 maintain 00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:00.520 freedom of speech at all cost and I think within the current political landscape it seems that 00:06:00.860 --> 00:06:07.160 The line between freedom of speech is just getting twisted all the time, so to have someone like Robert 00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:11.660 Say that I think was a very reassuring, and I hope 00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:14.980 They keep that mentality through the end 00:06:14.980 --> 00:06:19.640 *Eerie ethereal sounds* 00:06:20.200 --> 00:06:20.700 *PEW, pew, PEW!!* 00:06:20.700 --> 00:06:21.200 *pew, pew, PEW!!* 00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:21.700 *Pew, PEW, PEPPEPEPEPEPE* 00:06:21.700 --> 00:06:22.200 *PEWPEPEPEPEPEPE* 00:06:22.200 --> 00:06:24.200 [Emergency alerts sounding in background] It would seem that YouTube just made a tweet... 00:06:24.200 --> 00:06:27.940 talking about finally addressing to the monetization issue: 00:06:27.940 --> 00:06:30.340 Roses are red Violets are blue... 00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:32.420 subscribe to black creators 00:06:39.960 --> 00:06:41.960 (Silent laughter) 00:06:42.260 --> 00:06:46.600 What? I mean like, I support black people and their rights as a human *laughs* 00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:50.140 I don't know why I laughed.

I mean, they're really just saying hey 00:07:45.140 --> 00:07:51.429 Support minorities, but at the same time... At the same time. It's saying so much more as well! 00:07:52.220 --> 00:07:56.920 Which I don't even want to get into, but it's a really strange thing for them to come out of... 00:07:57.980 --> 00:07:59.980 out of nowhere, but 00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:05.460 Hey, man, you got to do what you got to do.

Wow! How amazing! What a believable trustworthy world we live in how about having, that's great. 00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:45.500 The last news is probably the most important one! 00:08:46.290 --> 00:08:53.330 Fiverr Guys got banned from Fiverr without any form of notice. They made a video saying again 00:08:53.330 --> 00:08:59.569 They got banned these were the guys that got banned through the controversy with fiverr 00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:03.379 and and me with The Wall Street, Journal thing that happened last year... 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:05.490 I spoke to fiverr 00:09:05.490 --> 00:09:11.210 It's a big company the people I talked to we're really trying to get them unbanned and then they finally did it 00:09:11.330 --> 00:09:15.619 And now something has happened again, and they've been on this site for four years 00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:19.200 And now I don't know where they made a video explaining that fiverr 00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:23.700 Just banned them with no reason or explanation why 00:09:24.460 --> 00:09:33.620 fiverr is consistently updating and evolving its marketplace to better suit our community and the needs of skilled freelancers and entrepreneurs across the globe 00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:40.960 Therefore this kind of services are unfortunately not in our editorial focus anymore and were sidelined from our marketplace 00:09:41.400 --> 00:09:47.420 Sidelined you kick them out you banned them. This is the problem that constantly happens with big websites. 00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:53.300 We don't really have any Union. There's no Union for internet creators 00:09:53.310 --> 00:09:58.049 There's no fight back if stuff like this happens. You just left stranded and 00:09:58.690 --> 00:10:04.470 Only thing we can really do is speak up about it, so I really urge you to write to fiverr 00:10:04.750 --> 00:10:09.660 Talk to them explain. Why this is wrong and don't spam a bunch of hate just 00:10:10.510 --> 00:10:14.460 Be considerate and be smart, companies Don't give a sh 00:10:16.570 --> 00:10:20.429 About anything but their own image. funny, fiverr guys did nothing wrong 00:10:21.280 --> 00:10:22.120 unbanned them 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.700 Please fiverr if you have if your fiverr if you're listening 00:10:26.700 --> 00:10:29.700 I know we had we had our bumps in the past 00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:35.069 But I really truly feel like these guys don't have anything to do with this. They haven't done anything bad! 00:10:35.290 --> 00:10:39.839 Why not keep them on their site and let them earn their profits like they're doing 00:10:40.390 --> 00:10:42.390 That's it for Pew News. 00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:54.390 Leave a like if you enjoyed watching I will see you tomorrow with another video. this is Brooke Baldwin signing out
