Fullscreen

Fullscreen put a copyright claim on my video that MaximBady stole from me. That is nothing short of scummy. What kind of pathetic losers do that kind of thing?

I’m writing this review to serve as a warning to any small YouTubers that may think that joining a network such as Fullscreen would be beneficial in some way; it is not.
Fullscreen places its focus on channels with hundreds of thousands or millions of subscribers. Be warned, once you’re locked in on a contract, they won’t care about you at all. Support from Fullscreen is horrible, they respond to emails with curt, slightly rude, and completely unhelpful responses.
The resources provided by Fullscreen are also not worth the 30% cut they take from your revenue whatsoever. The groups and forums are a joke, with the only posts being people promoting their latest video, and since everyone does it, it goes nowhere.
They only potentially useful thing are sponsorship opportunities, but again, they’re only interested in the big channels for those.
If you have less than 100k subscribers, joining Fullscreen would be a detriment to your channel, not a benefit. All it will do is cost you revenue and most importantly, your freedom. Do yourself a favor and stay independent and build yourself up before considering one of these networks that are only interested in making money off of you.

Beware. Senior talent agents at Fullscreen apparently think its OK to threaten talent when questioned. No conversations to be had. New YouTubers beware. Bully tactics. I am almost at 100,000 subs and he they didn’t think twice about insulting and threatening me. So how will they treat newer YouTubers?
Heads up.

Fullscreen has completely destroyed my YouTube channel and revenue.
I had been using google adsense for several years and doing very well for myself. I received an email from a Fullscreen rep stating that if I use their company, my revenue will grow and I will make much more with them than with Adsense. Naturally, I thought this was a great way to grow my channel and revenue, so I said yes, and signed a 2 year contract.
Immediately after signing over with Fullscreen, my revenue went down to about 20% of what it used to be with Adsense. And steadily declined every month thereafter. I was once making a great amount to save for vacations and big presents for the holidays. Now, with Fullscreen, I was barely making enough to do anything at all with.
Their «customer service» is a joke. I wrote to them on numerous occasions asking for help and pleading to break the contract. After all, they were not delivering their end of the bargain at ALL, so what help were they? If anything, they destroyed my youtube channel. Brought less viewers and less interest, and offered me zero help on how to get it back where it used to be. Most of the time I never even got a reply back to my e-​mails expressing my concerns. One of their reps actually said it’s My fault, and said they can’t do anything and that I should just wait until 2 years are up. Very helpful.
My suggestion if you receive a recruiting email from Fullscreen. Trash it and don’t look back. Explore all options before falling for their scam. Know what your channel is worth, and find a company that will actually help it grow. Not just sit back and take a huge percentage of your earnings but do nothing to help.

I have a «tier 1» channel, with over 600k subscribers and 60 million channel views. I signed up with Fullscreen for 6 months in July 2013 and they did not help me grow my subscribers any differently than Youtube had. My earnings went down for 3 straight months, which they said they didn’t have any idea why. They said they could get me «premium ads,» which is BS because I learned later from Youtube that Youtube already puts premium ads up. They said they could increase my CPM, which was never the case, CPM stayed the same. They said I could participate in Gorilla campaigns from «$ 25-​$ 40 CPM.» When I looked, most of them were $ 10-​$ 15 CPM and I found out my channel did not qualify since my videos were NOT in English (which they failed to let me know prior to signing on). In summary, I do not recommend signing up with any partner networks, if you already have a grasp on basic copyright rules on keeping your Youtube videos clean.

I hate to write a negative review and the only reason I am writing this is in the hopes of getting some response to solve the issues I have had with this company. When I first signed with Fullscreen, I was promised many things:
— guidance for growing my YouTube channel
— help with promotions using social media
— increased income from my YouTube videos
— access to consult the company when needed.
Basically… with the exception of some good advice on day one and some emails responses to questions early on, I have been told NOT to come in (despite being explicitly told that I could), not to call, been given the run around on virtually all of the offers that have been made to me about what services were offered… have received less money than when I was simply partnered with YouTube (even though Fullscreen publicized that I would make more money with them) and I noticed that my videos are more restricted on YouTube NOW than ever before.
I have tried to contact ALL of my contacts at Fullscreen via email and phone and no one will reply. It’s EXTREMELY upsetting and definitely not the way to show your clients that you care. So far, joining has been a regretful decision. My hope: that someone from Fullscreen reads this and finally responds to me.
