What % of the revenue do these CMS take from you generally?

Would you say it's worth it to go with a CMS if your content is not risky or it's only worth it if you're doing risky content that's likely to get demonetized?

Exactly. In areas like YouTube, a lot of useful knowledge comes from repeated testing and shared experiences rather than formal research.

@ken017 about using selenium and a server to upload... the automation itself is usually fine if your browser fingerprinting is clean but the server ip is what usually kills the reach. if you are uploading from a standard datacenter vps the algo definitely flags it and drops the reach. try using residential proxies or just upload a few manually from a clean residential connection to see if it makes a difference. also the unlisting and relisting trick is mostly dead now unless you change the md5 hash of the video file and edit the metadata before reuploading otherwise yt just flags it as duplicate content instantly.

Server ip does not always kill the reach unless the ip itself is flagged for bad or bot activity or spam. Now you may have to find out which specific VPS providers are flagged for bot activity or spamming. I think big VPS providers like contabo have policies against this and if they see spam or illegal activity happening on their servers, they can ban your account. I think most likely, big VPS providers are safe due to their own strict policies against certain types of spam or illegal activity.

contabo has a section for abuse complaints:
https://contabo.com/en/abuse/

Here is quote from AI overview:
["Terms of Service: Providers explicitly ban illegal activities and network abuse, which includes sending unsolicited bulk messages, running botnets, launching automated attacks, or violating the terms of third-party platforms.
Abuse Complaints: If a social media platform or network security group reports abusive traffic originating from a server IP, the provider's trust and compliance team reviews the complaint.
In general, using a VPS ip should not be a problem."]

The main thing that social media companies like youtube looks for, is not the ip address, it is the account's overall 'trust score' and whether you represent 'normal human activity' rather than appearing like a bot or spammer. For instance, you can use an account that has good trust score on a VPN or data center IP and have zero issues with reach.

How can I get a CMS generated channel?

Click to expand...

You need to join a CMS network first. You cannot just simply get a CMS generated channel. You need to first find a CMS network that is willing to partner with you, and once you join them you can get a generated channel.
One example would be mediacube. You can try contacting them. They are a CMS network.

They can take anywhere between 10% to 40%. It depends on the network. Some networks just exist to exploit maximum money out of people, so they take a big share.

These days on a CMS network, it is much harder to go with risky content because youtube does periodic checks, due to spam and abuse.
however certain types of borderline/grey area/risky content is much safer to do on a CMS network then it is on adsense, because on adsense they are stricter than ever, also due to heavy increase in spam.
So there are certain types of music channels or spam kids animations that would generally get demonetized on adsense after a while. This is basically borderline/grey area content that have risk of demonetization, but these do 'okay' in CMS networks.

If you think your content is good and HQ, then you can just build on adsense and skip the CMS part. Here, you also get to keep more of the % share. Joining a CMS is just for the purpose of kick starting or accelerating your growth, since trust scores are high from the 'get go'.

How to rank a YouTube video on Google?

I currently have a monetized channel in the music niche that is at high risk of being demonetized for reused content.

I want to start new channels in safer niches where I show my face and talk on camera.

I'm scared that I'll be successful with the new channels, then my music channel will get demonetized, then my new channels will get demonetized for being linked.

Are my fears valid and what would you advise me to do?
