I agree with you.
There is no reason for there be an issue with YouTube's payment system.
First of all, there is no evidence that YouTube's payment system has been experiencing difficulties - if there was, YouTube would inform their users, wouldn't they?
And if there was an issue with Freedom payments, isn't it logical and considered that they should've informed us - the ones who happen to be partnered in the network - at least a week before, to let us know that they are experiencing difficulties?
Because how can a network just suddenly have an issue, on the day of payment?
Something is up, and i want to know what it is.
I have contacted Freedom! Support, and demanded evidence for this problem.
They have hardly given us much information when they say that there is "an issue with YouTube's payment system".
It is only right that they give us more information, because we are the partners and it our revenue earnings that they are managing.
Why would they inform users? Why would users care?
Freedom! can't foresee the future, if there's no money in the bank a week prior to money being supposed to arrive they don't run in circles because the money isn't supposed to be there yet. As soon as the
Because the money just isn't there in time?
All the conspiracies around here just because money arrives five days late... There's nothing happening except for YouTube money not having landed at Freedom! in time. No lizards involved.
These things do happen, Freedom! has had stuff ups in the past and we would let you know if it was our end that messed up. From what I have heard this was an issue with YouTube's payment which is why there is a delay.
I would just like to thank @Nerd for helping create this thread to outline this issue to the Freedom partners and also @LW001 for keeping those replies coming in.
For everyone else, we have communicated the information as and when we get told about it, obviously Freedom wasn't expecting a delay in payments and can only apologise for the delay this has caused. These things do happen very rarely and Freedom, as well as us as the Freedom Forum team have tried to keep you updated as and when we knew about the problem. We can only pass on the information that we are told and we are sorry if you are sceptical about the answers given, but as I said this is what we are told so we can only pass this on to you.
At the end of the day this was a payment delay, Freedom can not pay its members until the funds are transferred to Freedom, as mentioned in the video Freedom is working with YouTube to ensure this doesn't happen again and apologises for any inconvenience this may have caused any or all of our members.

does the google payed to freedom or not ? i am confused now with ur comment , @Nerd once the problem solved pls notify every one by updating this thread !!
We will be keeping this thread updated as soon as we have any more information.
I'd like to remind everyone, that just like @Koala has mentioned problems like these do happen sometimes. If I remember correctly last time we had a larger delay like this was over a year ago, due to paypal in that specific instance.
With that being said even though it is delayed everyone is still being payed what they are owed. So I'd like to ask everyone to not speculate about some kind of conspiracy theory, we are doing what we can and we will keep you updated.
I will say that this is weird in a MCN as big as Freedom seems to be... especially when as other people said AdSense don't have this problem. Anyway, if this is resolved there's no problem. I wanted to buy a game with the payment in Steam sales... but whatever... I will wait until Xmas.
As stated in the post it will be sent in 5-10 Business days. So the earliest estimate for payments would be friday. Please have some patience.
I understand waiting until they have an answer to speak about it. No need to cause wide spread paranoia and panic.
Payments are being sent out now. If you haven't gotten your earnings within the next 48 hours see this support article. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to support.
wait normally i wait till the end of the month for my money to go across automatically does this mean i have to withdraw it myself and lose money?
Freedom! will send you the money automatically as always, just a few days later. On that end nothing but the time will change. Whatever you do with that money after it's in PayPal/Tipalti/your payment method and what costs arise from that is up to you.

Just as a quick update to this thread, payments have now been sent out. The reason for the delay was YouTube sending the money to the wrong company name (They used any.TV Ltd. instead of Freedom! Family Ltd., which the company was renamed to a year ago). If you see something like this:
please verify that your payment information is updated here, then contact support.
