(Sorry if the title sounds really petty and/or rude. I just couldn't think of another way of wording that.)
Not 100% sure how to word this correctly, but I will try my best without going on too long.
Two years ago next month, I had successfully joined Freedom! Going through what they were offering, plus a familiar face running it made me feel more secured with my choice. However, I've been in doubts with my choice for a good year now, but decided to stay silent. Even on several occasions of thinking about leaving. I'm hoping by writing this and listening to the replies, it would alleviate my doubts and stay with the Network.
My main complaint is the channel that I run. Never minding that I'm making next to nothing, because that wasn't the goal. When I first joined, I was at around 135 Subscribers, and roughly 25,000 views. Today, I fought tooth and nail for 185 Subscribers, and about 37,000 views total. With Freedom's help, I amassed one Subscriber, (who, since then left a long time ago) and possibly 10 views. The rest was all me fighting for the respect and Subscription of anyone who thought my content was worth staying for.
I thought one of the perks of being with Freedom! was that they would help you get your push by promotion and such, and your only job was to keep doing what you do best. But I was confused as to why I had to work harder in order for Freedom! to even consider it. (e.g. Actively post in forums and YouTube comments on the network's channel) I have tried a couple times in the past to ask for a push. It's not like I didn't completely put in the effort here. But with managing the channel, and living my life, I kind of can't be the forum bug I once was years ago. I was purely hoping by my hard work, loyalty to the network, and sheer dedication to be the best on YouTube, that it would merit my success to be pushed and promoted. However, through all said dedication, you wouldn't have thought for a second I was even partnered to begin with. With the viewership still at 500-700, and 0-1 Subscriber gain per month. There was no significance that Freedom! ever left there fingerprints on my channel.
Did Freedom! die? Was I wrong to think I would get the help if I put the effort into it? Or is it just because I'm not some hotshot on YouTube, they can't be bothered to help me? These aren't smart aleck questions, either. They're legit things I ask myself everyday. My goal was to reach out to as many people as possible, and do my very best to be entertaining or informative. But the whole "Let's Play" thing is terribly flooded today, that starting without help is a suicide/time wasting situation. And that is why I am here with Freedom! today.
My complaint is that my channel is so under, that if I were to disappear tomorrow, no one would even know or care. My request is that someone would just help out. Specifically, the Freedom! team, because it would be wrong and petty to ask anyone else. You know, a push, a promotion. Hell, I would even settle for a mentor if it meant the channel could grow. It's frustrating to see that my channel has potential, and nothing is being done to capitalize on it. All I ask is for a little help from the people I entrusted my channel to on the network. Otherwise, what's the point in even staying? Making a couple quarters on here monthly is not incentive enough for me to stay and keep struggling. I just hope by venting, that someone will reply, understand my frustrations, and help me in anyway possible. I guess I'll know soon.
Thank you for your time~
