Yeah, I did join Frederator, although there does not seem to be a stop motion specific Frederator community, I know they have posted at least two of James shorts on Saturday morning cartoons, right now I feel like the content I have uploaded does not fit into the format of the show. Right now I feel the best part about the network for me is access to the whole Audio Micro sound and music library. I have never had of 200 subscribers to any of my YouTube channels so at this point I feel that even the tiniest boost in numbers is helping the channel.

I've considered joining once I turn 18, especially since it is targeted to animators.  I think there should be a stop motion specific Frederator community. When I joined fullscreen 3 years ago, I was part of motionpxl, a sub forum for animators. Then 6 months later, they got rid of it, and merged everyone together. I didn't renew my contract after that.

togfox They can edit things but from what I can tell, Frederator takes a really hands off approach, they do set up regular 'channel audits' which are first come first serve, I have not participated in that but I believe it's one on one they look at your channel and try to help you make it better or something.

jampot if you follow the community link they sent you and check the resources tab and you can get access to the sound and music libraries free of charge, which is a huge boon to me, on the forums you could also directly request that one of your shorts be played on Saturday Morning Cartoon, I've seen a lot of folks who ask get featured on there, however they did not ever feature Beyond the Eleventh Dimension, but I feel the length and tone of Beyond is a bit unwieldy for program like that. Who knows, I feel like your Scooby Doo short would be a great fit for that program.

Not trying to convince you to stay but those are some resources you might find worthwhile that you haven't been utilizing. I've found that as I have avoided franchise and IP related Brickfilms it has been hard for me to really get much recognition outside of the Brickfilming community. I had 19 subs when I joined the network a few months back and 100+ now, but I feel like the subs I have got from Fredorator have just been me participating in the community there, so really boils down to my own leg work still, I'm still hopeful that I might get a bit broader audience and am interested to see where I will be at the end end of my first year of the contract. [But I really do think access to a music and sound library is the greatest benefit]

HuHa is certainly dead. I don't even know whether it was a network or some collab channel. Never heard of animonster though so not sure.

I've been partnered with Channel Frederator since early June. During June and July I received 30.2K views, earned 20 US dollars, after the split I have 14.57 in my pocket, they earned 6.24 USD from me. This month my views went up ergo I think I'll get another 12-20USD just for august alone but it's not enough to turn this into more than a hobby. And no they haven't been advertising me nor anything has changed. The views I got was from me advertising on social media and specific forums so it's all my hard work. They earned 6 bucks for doing nothing. It's not worth it.

P.S. The channel I partnered with Frederator is LS Animation https://www.youtube.com/user/LSanimationTV

As of today, I am no longer with Frederator my contact at the network was really nice and cordial, and helped me through the split, for which I'm grateful. I should also have close to £400 of earnings from the last couple of months coming into my bank account soon (£560 roughly, minus Frederator's 30%), which is also a bonus, so I may actually have a tiny tiny tiny budget for the live-action shorts I want to do this academic year.

So how were you able to leave? I've been trying to contact both Cade and Jennifer for days prior to my contract expiring and neither has sent me a reply... which is infuriating because my contract was renewed on the 5th of November when I contacted them roughly two weeks before asking to leave... The last email I got from Jennifer was on October 21st and I have sent her three emails since then and she has not replied to any of them. Cade though usually good with responding back to me, never responded back about this. I feel like my YouTube channel has been taken hostage (at least my pay anyway) and it's frusterating that I can't get anyone in the freaking Network to respond back to my inquiries! I'm to the point where I am about to threaten legal action...
