Hey ya'll, I'm a YT Partner now! (yep, it wasn't enabled before lol).
Anyway, I like transparency - I wanted to let folks know that I WILL NOT monetize any of my older animations & collabs. Hopefully they all remain ad-free for nostalgic viewing. And if they don't... I just wanted to be clear that it wasn't my intention to monetize those videos or put them at risk of takedowns.
As a YouTube OG from 2007 - I've felt ick about enabling ads on the channel. It's an old-school mentality, mainly because the spritefan2 channel was burned in the early 2010s where YouTube was more strict on blocking & muting videos with copyrighted music.
With the new partnership status, the only videos I've manually selected for ads monetization are the two MSW videos created this past year, along with the recent (and future) 'OldSchool MapleStory Livestreams" (ChronoStory).
I'm getting all excited about the eventual release of Classic World, and the opportunity to do general 'gaming streams & videos' for the channel. So apologies to those who are mainly here for animations - which... maybe I can do something at some point, but the turn-around on those are significantly slower.
But yea - I'm primarily doing all of this for fun & excitement of Classic coming back! The plan is to play MSW now & maybe make a few more videos prior to release - then play Classic World actively its first week of its launch - then assess from there if I want to stick with being a more active 'content creator'.
So I wanted to be properly 'set-up' with all of the modern YT partnership stuff for when Classic comes. Being a maple-only content creator is not at all sustainable, nor do I expect it to be even with the increased interest of Classic, but uh... I love mushroom game! Will do this stuff as long as it's fun & I can fit it into my lifestyle :D.
Last, I just want to say that it's been awesome seeing old & familiar usernames pop into my recent livestreams. Very happy to see folks still around & appreciate you all for tuning in. I am going to be out of town this weekend, so my next ChronoStory streams will probably be sometime next week. :)
