I'm confused by this whole censoring of the word "dead" thing on YouTube. I'm working with this attached thumbnail, do you all think this may get flagged or something? Am I exposing my video to risk by using the word "Dead" in the thumbnail?

I'm looking to better understand the pricing norms for sponsorship deals. Is there any resources out there that reference examples of how different sponsorship deals work on different channels? I'm asked to construct some of those deals, but I'm kinda working in the dark here. If you just have experience and would be open to hop on a quick call with me, LMK!

Congrats to @Ben Bode on the recent banger!! I keep getting recommended the new video on his channel, Framing Logic. Obviously, being an experienced ex-mrbeast producer, this was bound to happen. I just wanted to point out his win. Who else watched his Ted Cruz video when he first made his intro post?

I’ve got a unique problem that Ive been mulling over, and I think this group could help me. I’m doing some advisory work on a small channel. The long and short of it is that the channel is performing terribly. It’s been around for 10 years, it’s almost 200 videos, and only 700 subscribers. I can see a clear path forward on improving the videos, but fear there's an issue with it's many videos that have not resonated with the audience in the past. Here’s my question: Before we start posting new, better videos, I wonder if it's better to just restart fresh with a totally new channel? The more technical YouTube question is this: does the failure of the past videos, and the dissatisfaction of the existing audience, negatively affect the new videos? Will the algorithm ding the new stuff because the old stuff sucked? Asking them to restart their channel from fresh is no small thing. Especially for their pride, but we also want the best for them. What are your thoughts on this? Restart or keep the old channel?
