I am hoping to come here and at least hear about channels that haven't been kicked in the teeth with this change,  but  I haven't seen any yet.    Every channel I know,   many much larger than my channel have nothing but bad news to tell.  

We all know the bottom line here is money and I think many of us suspect this is a way for Youtube to stifle and control the advertising revenue and place the majority of advertising dollars on the most "compelling"  videos.   I think many channels that ARE compelling are going to be affected very negatively by this as a side-effect.     What a Frankenstein experiment this is.
