BBTV screws over Youtube Creators
EPAIII:
I don't get it. Just WHAT is it that BBTV does that motivates people making money on YouTube to sign over that income to BBTV only to have BBTV then send that money to them? What is wrong with just collecting YOUR earnings on YouTube YOURSELF?
What am I missing???

In his case, his country for channel and payment purposes is Israel and it apparently can't be changed. There was also something about multiple streams which I skipped over so can't spell out. BBTV circumvents all that, and whereas other similar facilities take a cut, BBTV promised not to take a cut from the channel income and, instead, make their money from adverts they source. Win all round if they'd kept to that.

Yes, that's his reason. He's actually been very skeptical and critical of MCN's, but he needed a way to avoid the Israel account thing.
For anyone else there is no advantage, which is why BBTV had to move to the 100% model. The "brand deals" they get are a nothing burger, you are better off doing your own deals. Big Youtube channels get approached daily from the major brands.

That alone sounds like a reason to use one, not that they find you better deals but they'd: select suitable deals, respond, haggle, ensure you get paid, etc. IF you want to spend your time doing something else.
But maybe better to hire a general assistant/junior accountant? for something like that.

Many youtubers that rely on brand deal ad spots will have a full time person working just on getting and sorting out those deals. The income will easy pay for them.
