Why I will not be joining Maker Studios

right so if you follow me on twitter you've most likely just seen my posts about maker studios and I feel i should go into more detail than a tweet can provide, this is personal opinion and how i want to run my youtube channel.

Basically I went on the Maker Studios web site to join up after being rejected earlier in the year. Now as most websites do have a TOS [terms of service], most don't read them, well because this is business I really had to, after reading through it came to advertising and it said along the lines that Maker Studios would have the say as to if a video had adverts, well I thought what else are they wanting control of and i read through and thought "well this'll mean I'll loss control of my channel and that will not be good for my subscribers". Now to me subscribers are more important than the money it's self as they are the basis of the channel and through that what income I may get, now I don't want to loss control and loss those subscribers I have as one thing I'd like to do at some point is hold a meeting with the few subs I have to help me generate ideas to make the channel better, but more on that later.

This will most likely damage my chances of join the yogscast as an editor or talent [ether or is fine] but I'm not going to loss what little control I have to get to that goal.
