Can't Get Monetized After Finally Getting The 4000 Hours. 

Please go sub to my new channels! ► Ducain23 (Main Channel): ru-vid.com ► Halo Quick Clips: ru-vid.com/show-UCkZqsTwWmYYJU-PiDmhZ17A

I’ve been here for many yrs man, I agree with everyone else. Cut the loss here and dedicate it to the other channel bro!

PLEASE leave a comment on what you think I should do and vote in the pole! Poll Link: ru-vid.comcommunity If you want to sub to my second/monetized channel (the one I might move to)... here is the link: ru-vid.com

dude that sucks, i remember watching you back when you started out. its horrible to see what people do for a little laugh..

Sorry to hear that Ducain. I would have to agree with people in the comments, 2nd channel might be a good option. Plus since your channel is *red flagged* maybe they are not pushing your content here either.

My suggestion: 1- Getting involved with a MCN could either pay you the revenue generated on the channel or use their connections to resolve the issue. 2- Have this channel be a shorts channel that'll link to your other channel. Revenue on shorts is very low so you wouldn't lose really anything. Basically hope on people on clicking links to check out the other channel. 3- Fully convert over to the new channel. I'll support by shoutouts, retweets and share. The community likes you and I feel we'd step up to get the word out about the new channel given your circumstance.

I really hope that the issue is resolved because you are one of the more genuine content creators.

I’d just move to the other channel man. Don’t waste time on this one

I would Dedicate your time to your other channel, keep also posting videos here though. Just make a real effort to advertise your other channel in the videos you post here. With halo infinite just around the corner there is potential for you to gather a lot of views/subs and direct them to your other channel :) goodluck mate

Go over to the second channel; we all want to see you grow for sure! I’d say keep uploading here periodically for a few months with an ad in the beginning of those videos for your new channel, until you are comfortable with your new channel! Infinite will explode whichever channel you are active on. A lot of people aside from RU-vid have been reset to square one at some point in their life. Hit the uploads hard and start that grind again on the new channel, in the end, it’s always worth it.

I've known for awhile about this issue. I can feel the gut wrenching pain through each word that comes from your mouth. This truly is heartbreaking to hear that you still weren't helped, 6 years later!!! Been subscribed to the other channel as well. Once Infinite drops, you'll flourish once again!

I'd say move to the other channel. You gotta take care of yourself first and I think your audience would appreciate that more. I wouldn't see it as a loss but as a smart move for the upcoming Halo.

I would upload every other video to each channel so 1 here and next to the other and then the next to here and then the next to the other. And grind twitch bro with your content ur very viewer friendly I could see u doing really well on twitch and just making RU-vid like map features and stuff but twitch is very very good for making a living off of.

6 years…. Damn that’s been forever I remember. Keep messaging them. keep bugging the CS people Eventually one should help

You should do both channels just keep trying to get this one fixed and work on growing the other

A RU-vidr with 100K+ subs that had the same issue as you and had it resolved, but you didn't? That doesn't seem fair. You deserve better!

I'm genuinely sorry for you luck. You grinded so hard yet RU-vid said no. I really hope you get something going for yourself

Ducain! RU-vid have screwed you here, move to the Second channel, start over, use that motivation to grow and get monetized, 10 years on the channel is a long time, but maybe a fresh start without looking back would be awesome for you especially with Infinite coming up! If you stay on this channel, years will keep ticking by, you'll not be monetized, and motivation with decrease the longer it goes, and It might kill your passion completely for what you love, forge a new channel!

Start uploading on your other channel again. It's tough, but those who truly enjoy your content will all go there to support you. Work on some Infinite related content like hey here is this amazing Banished inspired racetrack and use those videos to get the ball rolling. Infinite will bring millions of fresh players many who probaby never even touched Halo before and we'll be thirsty for content from that game. It's not starting from scratch Ducain. Us forge/custom game enthusiasts will be hitting it with a bang at launch.

Continue uploading vids on this channel but cut them halfway and add a reminder (both in the intro and at the end) that we have to subscribe the other channel

that stinks man…. i’m nearing the 4k hours and i hope the same doesn’t happen

As much as it sucks.. I’d say move to the other channel. It’s hard to justify putting in so many hours into a channel where you can’t make money. If you didn’t have the kids to consider and wanted to do it purely out of enjoyment that’s one thing.. Unfortunately may just have to cut your losses man :( Wish you best of luck

I've been following this saga since you originally announced it. If it were me I'd roll out a few more videos here. Just normal videos but at the beginning of each advertise your move. Start building up your new channel more now. With Infinite coming out soon I think there will be a whole new wave of subscribers rolling through and hopefully give you a chance to build up your monetized channel.

I’ve been a regular on your channel since all of your pre-release info/leaks on Halo 4 and honestly this is super painful to hear. I wish you find the best solution to your problem soon and still find the drive to push out new content

Do what’s financially best, keep badgering RU-vid CS they will get tired of arguing if you can’t get RU-vid to fix the issue. but soft promotion the other channel on every single upload.

Hey Ducain, In my opinion, you should move your content to the other channel and do soft promotions to get everyone from here over to there. This is the best time to do it, as people arent looking so much for halo content, when people finally look for halo content they will find the channel that you are putting the most consistent effort into and not the larger channel. You would want to do this before the big Halo Infinite BOOM as after that it would be very difficult, especially competing with other new channels who haven't been establishing themselves. Its like taking a band-aid off, the longer you prolong it the worse it gets. Deep down you clearly know the answer to your questions, so I hope my comment helps validate them. ( or not :P doesn't matter ) As someone who has watched your content on and off for many years, it wouldn't be too jarring or unexpected of me to find your new content under a different channel name during the launch of Infinite.

I think you should just move to your second channel. I think when Halo Infinite come out you will see a surge of new subscribers and that should hopefully mitigate the losses of moving.

Well this sucks. Hope you get it resolved

I would just swap from this to the other channel, swap the names or something, and make a video pointing to that channel

Yo g, I would just move to the other channel. there is no point in putting effort into something that won't make any money.

I'll try help you out the best I can. Have you asked your discord yet for some help on the other channel? "Recommending & letting people know what you do" You make great videos and a slight increase on variety too, for me it keeps it interesting even when it's not Halo. People love creativity, just need that push to get more known/recommended. =) Keep checking view count on your videos and compare wich gets the most (If you're not doing it already). This is your first and main channel, bet it hurts and that sucks!

Wow, that really sucks

Monetise through patreon

youtube is rubbish

I'd say go to the other channel and make that cash brother, you deserve it and the true fans will follow you 🤟

Fuck man, that's awful. RU-vid really does have some awful policies on this stuff. Sorry, I don't have any answers, but I'll sub to the other channel if it helps.

That's unfortunate sorry to hear that ducain, I've been watching your uploads for a few years now and you love halo I love halo just do what you think is right.

Sorry to hear that, i know it's hard, but I think you should move to the new channel 😓 it sucks that you couldn't get monetized

See if any other halo you tubers can give you a hand? Idk it’s a horrible situation though.

Damn, this really sucks. F*** RU-vid. Maybe try reaching out to TheQuartering. He has helped support RU-vidrs with similar issues before.
