Nintendo announces YouTube revenue sharing plan
Nintendo has had a complicated history with YouTube videos and channels. At first they took all revue sharing from YouTube videos and made it difficult for channel owners to get paid, now they are fixing that ans allowing the content creators to get a majority of the money from YouTube videos, with this new program.

I was hesitant in making videos for yourube before because of issues like this but I'll gladly sign up for this deal with Nintendo. It still sucks that content providers have to share revenue at all but I guess this is a compromise and better than nothing.
