I would like to eradicate from the face of the planet those who end sentences with 'or'. My 8 year old started doing it

so you want to kill your child. *calls up child protection*It's also a bit hit and miss with monetizing videos unless you have partner status.
I sometimes have some that get approved very quickly, another I uploaded two months ago and it's still under review.
You possibly would have made more money selling your video to news broadcasters, or perhaps an agency. But I think things have started to change and they now try and get people to send in footage as a social interaction affair, rather than paying people for their footage.
As I said in your other thread, I think for something so news worthy, the only thing you could have done was stick a big watermark over it.

Well done on getting youtube to remove the other day. The dailymail even linked to his. I posted a comment (twice by accident) stating this, they remained on the site for less than 5mins.

So where's the video then?

He will link it once the adverts start working
On a positive, at least now you will have it sorted for the next time you get something worth uploading.

A fortune you say? I doubt it!
The money can be good! Most of my videos (mobile phone gadgetry etc) have tens of thousands of views but a couple have hundreds of thousands and since I've started monetizing (6 months) I have made enough each month to pay for my 50Mb internet connection, for example.
Now if you're getting 6 figure views every month then you're going to be making quite some extra cash on the side

Can we see your two popular videos?
You really have to be a partner to make money anyway. In being a partner, you can get a more fixed price per 1000 views, in some cases it can be as high as $1.50. Non partners get significantly less as the adds are more random, still based on data collection, but not targeted.

Or if they get signed with the likes of machinima, they can negotiate an even higher amount.

And on that day not a single video link was posted.
that cant be right because i know someone who did a video of them driving an RC video into a pool to test if it really was waterproof and he only had something like 20k hits yet said he had "easily" made what the car cost and that was 200$
theres people who monetise themselfs playing video games aswell you allowed aslong as its educational and has a voice over (guides , playthroughs etc) and they only get 30-35k hits on the videos , i cant see them doing a few hours of a game for a measrely 5quid
