oh are folks making bread on youtube like from battlerap? I guess they're less likely to get demonetized for that content than URL? I don't know why URL hasn't tried Twitch though
Don't have to get money from YouTube directly the platform itself made everyone way more visible, it's their own fault not knowing how to get sponsorship/marketing money from other entities during that time besides liquor and Al Capone cigarellos :mjlol:


You don't toss the platform with the most visibility in the bushes, even the content creators who "left" YouTube still post stuff on there because visibility matters more than whatever YouTube pays or doesn't pay for views

There are no huge bags from youtube for promoters. Where are you getting this from?
Your money does not have to come directly from YouTube, that doesn't mean you dub YouTube completely and move behind a paywall, y'all talking like battle rap didn't fall into the Dark Ages since that happened, they lost the casual viewer completely, what's gonna happen when the current fanbase ages out? Where ya new fans gonna come from if they can't see anything outside of the app?

"YouTube ain't paying us money directly so we leaving" is short sighted as hell and the whole culture lost because of it. All of the looks they got from BET and these other networks was off the strength of that YouTube engagement, that's what y'all are missing here. They needed that shyt to breakthrough to mainstream conversations.


Even this damn subforum fell off a cliff :laff:look at all the threads with zero to no interaction. Y'all can keep pretending leaving YT wasn't the worst decision they ever made :dead: the state of battle rap today disagrees with you. Nobody checking for none of this shyt like that anymore

Even nikkas who aren't related with URL say there's no money in battle rap. If it was that easy why aren't RBE or KOTD doing it?? Why is the focus on URL?? If they are doing so bad why they still got the app?? nikkas don't even know how much people is subscribing to the app but swear they know what's the best business model lol

I think URL is doing what a business is supposed to, make money for themselves over everything and everyone else :hubie:

No talent means contract costs are minimized and locked in for multiple years shytty or not.
All content in the app means they get real money for all their content with minimizing costs of upload and maintenance and minimize bootlegging.

Sure battle rap is not what it used to be but who cares?

I’ve said numerous times that the URL create content specifically for their YouTube channel. They should be using both platforms.

You said leagues are making bags from YouTube, implying leagues are making good money which simply isn’t the case. Hitman was very close to shutting it down if he didn’t make a profit off the Gotti battle.

So you gotta take cherry extract pills for the rest of your life?
Basically yea if I dont want to watch what I eat. Lot of stuff can cause a flare up, including drinking liquor/stress too. So even if you eating right, some other shyt can cause a flare up. I can take the cherry pills, drink cherry juice, or eat cherries. Cherries help lower the uric acid in your body. Bottle only costs like 10 dollars and lasts me 3-4 months. I could be over doing it and I could take pills every other day or some shyt but Im not trying to risk it. shyt is no joke. Some of the worst pain you can feel in your life and you cant really do shyt, depending on where you get it. I get my flare ups in my big toe joint/ankles. You cant handle anything touching your foot. Like a thin bed sheet touches your foot? You will be in crazy pain.
