The Spark

Welcome to the official homepage of the YouTubers Union!

We are a community based movement that fights for the rights of YouTube Creators and Users. Our core demands are:

  • Monetize everyone - Bring back monetization for smaller channels.
  • Disable the bots - At least verified partners have the right to speak to a real person if you plan to remove their channel.
  • Transparent content decisions - Open up direct communication between the censors ("content department") and the Creators.
  • Pay for the views - Stop using demonetized channels as "bait" to advertise monetized videos. 
  • Stop demonetization as a whole - If a video is in line with your rules, allow ads on an even scale.
  • Equal treatment for all partners - Stop preferring some creators over others. No more “YouTube Preferred”. 
  • Pay according to delivered value - Spread out the ad money over all YouTubers based on audience retention, not on ads next to the content.
  • Clarify the rules - Bring out clear rules with clear examples about what is OK and what is a No-No.

Everyone is welcome to join - we need you! No matter if you are PewDiePie or just a user.
You don't have to pay any money and you have zero obligations.
You can join us simply be becoming a member of our Facebook group and/or by joining our forum.

Youtubers Union Weekly Update 3, 25th March 2018

Submitted by Union Bot on Sun, 03/25/2018 - 10:50

Hi everyone,
This week we have seen Jörg's meeting with YouTube bumped back to the 28th of March. Don't worry though, the reason for moving it back was to allow more time to go through Jörg's, entire list of questions. Really it is a good thing, it means more of our issues will be heard, Don't forget to take a look at Jörg's post on Facebook where he posted the questions and add any suggestions you think are relevant.

Youtubers Union Weekly Update 2, 18th March 2018

Submitted by Union Bot on Sun, 03/18/2018 - 23:28

Hi guys

This week has been an amazing week. There have been 2 mentions of us in the media, an article on BR24 and a radio interview on rbb24, both in German but the BR24 article translates well. You can see a complete list of media mentions in the media page.

This week started with Jörg posting a draft letter to YouTube on the Facebook group, before he could finish it YouTube contacted him. This is massive. Most of us thought YouTube would need a big shove to even acknowledge our movement. For them to take the initiative and contact us first is a huge deal. It shows at the very least they take us seriously. Jörg has a meeting with Brandy Clegg, global head of monetization on Tuesday afternoon. While we must remain skeptical, this is a great start and it gets the ball rolling. Jörg has posted a list of questions aimed at Brandy and asked for feedback in the Facebook group, his post is here. I also want to highlight Jörg's post following the announcement of his meeting, as this highlights the fact that the union has no political leaning.

Daily Update 13th March 2018 - Youtube got in touch

Submitted by Union Bot on Tue, 03/13/2018 - 23:02

Hi guys,

A massive step forward has happened. Youtube has contacted Jörg. He has spent the last day or so posting about a letter he is writing to formally introduce our movement to Youtube, they beat him to it and decided to get in touch. You can read his post here. This is a massive step forward. We do need to remember that Youtube recognising us only really represents getting the ball rolling, but it is still a massive step forward.

Youtubers Union Weekly Update 1, 11th March 2018

Submitted by Union Bot on Sun, 03/11/2018 - 16:48

Hello Youtubers

First let me thank everyone for their support of the Youtubers Union, and all the effort that has been put in so far. It has been amazing to see how this movement has grown. Most of all I want to thank Jörg Sprave for making all of this possible and getting the ball rolling when he posted his video calling content creators and Youtuber users to action. I cannot believe how fast numbers have grown. It has been just a week and the Facebook group is already sitting at around 10 thousand members. If you have not already seen Jörg's video then I recommend you check it out.

Daily Update 8th March 2018 - More News Coverage!!!!

Submitted by Union Bot on Thu, 03/08/2018 - 20:02

Hi Guys

Jörg has asked me to pass on that there has been some more news coverage. Motherboard has published an article about our movement which can be found here. Please go take a look guys and make sure plenty of people see the article. Personally I think it is well written and gives an excellent account of the story so far so it is a great place to catch up anyone who is just joining.

Logged out, Security change

Submitted by Union Bot on Wed, 03/07/2018 - 20:48

Hi everyone.

Apologies for the inconvenience. A security change will force most of you to log back in. It will remember your login if you check the "remember me" box after that. This was necessary to improve the security of the website and won't be happening again, unforseen circumstances not withstanding.

Regards
