This vlog was done 12 months ago. His subscriber numbers have climbed substantially since then, so I'm guessing he's raking it in considering that and with the channel being monetized.
i dont see how anyone can complain about him monetizing his channel. you can watch a 30 second ad or 5 seconds most of the time if you skip to compensate him for the hours of work he puts in to each vlog. and if you cant, then youre not much of a fan
Casey is still not monetizing, a year later. I would completely watch an ad, no problem, so he can get compensated. Casey is highly entertaining, and I'm watching his RU-vid Chanel daily, for free. Can you imagine how much the collage fund will increase with his 4M subs watching a daily ad?
+Emerald G yes he is, ive watched many videos of caseys which have had ads before them, like i saod above , i have absolutely no problem with it as he should be compensated for providing us with the content
Mikayla Snow GUYSSS! If you wanna keep running adblock on everything except Casey's videos, just whitelist his channel. Google how to do it or check out the video 'AdBlock: How To Properly WhiteList Domains or Folders (Google Chrome Version)'. and then once you've added him onto the whitelist, click the adblock icon on the top right corner and click 'whitelist CaseyNiestat's Channel' and VOILA! You help pay for Owen's college AND not compromise your internet experiences everywhere else!
respect to you for the honesty about monetising your videos! It makes smart business sense to monetise right now. I'll gladly sit through ads on your channel because I feel like you deserve to be paid for your work :) you SHOULD be compensated for all the effort you put in to these edits!
CharliMarieTV he not lost those money that didnt payed yet as it is waiting on him in google account, as my freind monetised after year and got payed for those views before monetising so he will not lost money.
Meg Ryan what Casey means is that until now he hasn't ticked the box to allow ads to be shown on his videos. until ads are shown on your videos you cannot earn ad money from them (because if no ads are shown, no ad views are counted) I think the situation you mean is if he DID have ads but hadn't set up an adsense account yet then you're right money would be waiting for him.
If there are any videos I don't mind watching ads for, they're yours Casey. You deserve to monetise your channel because you actually put the effort in to make good content!
***** I won't mind ads on this channel because i feel like 8-10mins of quality content is worth a 30 second advert. There are some channels where they put out a 2 minute video and still expect you to watch an advert that is a quarter of the length of the content. There are different reactions to ads depending on the content, there isn't a "one size fits all" rule.
***** I don't want to watch an ad before I watch a video, so I have Adblock. I block out content I don't want to watch. That's common sense. If you don't want to watch/read something, you block that content that you find obtrusive on what you want to watch/read...
***** page 13 paragraph 3 line 7: how to not be a piece of shit, and look at annoying flashy ads so the site you're using, the one who pays so much for those nice resources to host the website, can make ad revenue off of it.
Sting Reah GUYSSS! If you wanna keep running adblock on everything except Casey's videos, just whitelist his channel.

If monotizing the videos can pay for your children's education. You deserve money for good work. PS I will turn off ADBLOCK for you. PSS I HAVE NEVER TURNED OFF AD BLOCK FOR ANYONE SO THAT GIVES YOU A PERSPECTIVE OF HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE
Well really we should watch the ads even if it wasn't for Owen because he puts so much effort into these every single day which isn't like very other RU-vidr that doesn't get paid for what they do
Watching this in 2020 in the middle of a pandemic and watching all the handshakes.... I gave a perceptible shiver.. Things will never be the same I fear.
I'm surprised it took you so long to monetize these Casey Neistat. I admire your tenacity in not, but yes this will most certainly pay for tuition. There's absolutely no shame in reaping the rewards of your success.

palefox I'm pretty sure the free videos are about business. His business is (well, now that Beme, a significant part of his business is) largely about making commercials. The videos he releases for free are most likely part of a strategy to get his name out there so he gets hired on. Also, they help him refine his skills. And I'm sure he also truly enjoys making them, but by and large my assumption is the decision to not monetize the videos with preroll ads was at least in part a business decision. It may sound like I'm being cynical, but I think if Casey thought putting ads before his videos would further his goals in life, there would have been ads. Now, I don't really think that making lots and lots of money is really Casey's only goal. Building a career out of something he is passionate about really does seem to be his number one goal outside of family. I mean, even running almost seems to be something that Casey does largely as part of a strategy for helping his career: leading to more energy and a good ritual for starting off the day. The fact that on foot is one of the best ways to find locations to shoot from is probably not a coincidence. Well, and the fact that someone told him he'd never be able to run again. Telling him something is impossible is probably the single most effective way to get Casey to do something. Telling him something is easy will most likely get that task pushed off to the side until there isn't anything more interesting to do.
Late reply, but maybe Owen's college costs 10x more than 1500 dollars. Tuition is expensive. You can't just go around making cynical assumptions about people you don't even know, about lives you don't even live.
It only takes the first five seconds of you watching the add to count, which is why that's when they put the skip button, in case you didn't know, fun fact lol
Casey Neistat is the real man. Casey comes and goes when he wants to. You know why he can do that? Because when he got here, he dominated. They thought he worked 100 hours a day. Now, no matter what time he gets in, nobody questions his ability to get the job done. Get it through your head. First impressions last. You start behind the eight ball, you’ll never get in front.
Fuck yeah your should monetize this channel! Not only cause Owen goes to college soon trust me I get that Im a junior and that shit is expensive. But if people arent willing to wait a max 30 seconds to watch this content then get out of here. Casey makes great content and deserves to get paid for it.
More than happy you're starting to monetize your videos. I've been watching your videos for about 2 years and it's well deserved at this point. Hope for the best!
Adds are so common I doubt anyone minds ... I've been watching your videos for a couple of months now ( including older videos ) and I never realised you weren't monetising your videos, so there you go, I doubt anyone minds 👌🏻 keep up the fantastic work
@Hatersgotohell 2 years late but this is a really good comment here. Taking the path of least resistance makes you less comfortable in taking the hard way.
honestly didn't even notice your channel wasn't monetised will be watching each ad all the way through as you and your family are worth it thanks for the sick content, mate
OMG WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE LESS THAN 50 K AWAY FROM HAVING A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!! that's so crazy because I know (sadly) that you were definitely not that close before you started these vlogs. I'm so happy you're finally getting the amazing attention you deserve. You are an amazing person and definitely deserve all of this and more! EARLY CONGRATULATIONS WOO!!
you know what really makes me happy? that now one year later, you have earned so much money with this channel and your speaker placements that you do not have to worry about your kid going to college for one second. you deserve every penny you make with your videos, we all see the hard work you put into them.
I love the NYC Subway, the largest in the world!(by amount of track in use) In fact I love ALL of the MTA! The New Haven line is a line I use all the time to go from Connecticut to NYC! (Amtrak service between New Haven and Penn Station IS faster, but slightly more expensive. The new ACS-64 electric locomotives look awesome, as well as the aging Acela Express trains)
It's the oldest. But NOT the largest. (London underground is the 4th largest, by route lengh) London underground has 402km of track total(I think), NYC subway has 1,370km of track total
I think at this point Casey was at 1 Million Subs and he was not monetizing earlier? WOW this is why Casey is the best because his main Focus was to create QUALITY content unlike many other RU-vidr's.
Thank you Casey for the view of New York City. I remember travelling on a Megabus from Boston to New York and the view coming into New York with the buildings getting bigger and driving through the different districts was mesmerising. Thank you for the reminder and one day in the future I will look forward to seeing that again maybe on a plane next time.
You put so much effort into this, it's a pleasure to contribute!! I appreciate all your hard work and see how passionate you are about this! I love this and cant wait to see your posts!! Have a great weekend! :)
Been watching since the beginning, before vlogs! The time and effort put into vlogging from casey more than makes up for the 30 second ad !!!! It would be crazy for him not to do it!!!!
I've been wanting you to monetize since I first saw your vlogs...you deserve it, your content is so unique and I think that's why you have grown so fast. Love your vids
I like how honest Casey is about the ad thing. Like many subscribers complain about ads and how RU-vidrs only endorse things now, but think about it people need to find a way to live a get more money. Casey wants the best for his son and to help him achieve his goals in the future
i dont mind the ads when i know its supporting a great content creator. love the videos and im more than happy to support you by watching an ad. keep up the great work dude!
My guess it that there are 2 reasons. 1) His "following" was way smaller before his Vlog started, which means that it wouldn't make much difference economically. And since he doesn't seem to like ads himself it makes sense not to implement them. 2) Another "consequence" of having a "smaller following" before the Vlog might have been that he prioritised to reach more people with his work(and possibly grow his subscriber base) higher than the economic gain that monetising his content might yield. Just my 5 C's, best regards.
Bro pleaseeeee get paid for these videos. your the most genuine dude on RU-vid and have some of the best quality. You deserve to have your vids monetized and then some.YOU ARE THE MAN!
SuperCacapedo +oggo loggo Seemed pretty clear to me from the start that the vlog was his marketing strategy for beme. I don't think others realized that Casey is a nice guy but also a smart business owner. I have been wondering if he would monetize or do less vlogging once beme was more established. Have no problem with him monetizing because this is essentially another job as long as I'm not watching a promotional video for beme. I think he posted a few beme specific videos in anticipation of monetizing. Beme is not for me so he hasn't been able to monetize my views up to this point.
