This is pretty big news. It could mean a lot more views, subscribers, and obviously money for Chay Plays. I've talked to the network, looked at it extensively, and determined it's a pretty good place.There's no lock-in on the contract, so I can leave whenever I wish, for any or no reason, and having a network putting butts in seats for me is exactly the thing I need right now.
The only thing is, it means I will run ads on the YouTube channel, as that's how networks work. I've said I wouldn't do that in the past, but this particular network has a surprisingly compelling reason I've never thought of. This network is a charity network. The ad revenue is split 60/40, 60% being mine, and the remaining 40% going to the network, which donates all of it to various children's hospitals, a charitable case which I can absolutely support.
As you can see, I have a bit of a conundrum. I don't want to run any ads, but by doing so I could be helping a lot of sick children. It would benefit me, and my business too. Of course, the website would remain ad-free, and anyone could always adblock them on YouTube.
I do not like placing ads on my channel, as, by advertising, I might be construed as endorsing a product or service that I do not actually endorse, for whatever reason, and that feels dishonest to me.
I am not sure what is right to do. I like to help, and this would really help me, too. A lot.. But I wouldn't want to rescind on my own word.
