SXSW: Who’s Making Money From Their YouTube? Not Black People
YouTube’s slogan is “broadcast yourself” and it’s been celebrated as the new media platform that will revolutionize how marginalized groups are presented in the media. But the network is not much different than old media—90 of the top 100 YouTube video creators are white and mostly male.
In 2009 YouTube launched what they call the Partner Program that allows some of the popular content owners to make money from the videos they uploaded to the video sharing site. YouTube will not say how much people are paid for their content but according to earning reports there are thousands of video content creators on YouTube who are making more than $100,000 a year.
Only two of YouTube’s top 100 personalities are black (DeStorm, Kingsley), according to Chase Hoffberger at DailyDot.com who organized a panel at South by SouthWest called “YouTube and Racism.”
In the Colorlines.com video above YouTube stars Franchesca Ramsey and Andre Meadows along with scholar Jenny Ungbha Korn discuss YouTube Racism and how black video content creators have to work much harder to be seen.
I’d also like to point out big youtube hits like Honey Brown and Antione Dodson (Ain’t nobody got time for that and Hide your kids) who’s traumatic personal experiences were remixed for comedy by white people because ‘lol black folk talk funny’. Antione had to threaten the remixers with suing if he didn’t get a cut and then moved his family to a better neighborhood. Ms Honey is in the process of suing for them using her likeness. Black accidental stars struggle to get the money and respect they need. They are ratchet and ghetto and lol! And Even black people have a problem with just seeing them as caricatures.
They deserve money if you’re going to laugh at them.
I know what you’re thinking and yes… I would like to confirm that I’m about to eat a fried egg on top of a banana/chocolate chip muffin for breakfast.
