Sign up to YouTube Partnership Program: 5000 Joy

Refer new program subscribers: 1000 Joy

For every new video synced from YouTube: 300 Joy

❗️ The tokens pool allocated for this program is limited, so the program has limited duration.

Tiers Multiplier
Based on the YouTube channel followers count, a popularity Tier is assigned to each participant. Popularity tier results in multiplication effect on all rewards of the program.

Tier 1 - x1 rewards
Tier 2 - x2.5 rewards
Tier 3 - x5 rewards

Your popularity Tier will be displayed in the YPP Dashboard after you sign up. Information on all tiers will be periodically updated and posted to the program details, which are hyperlinked from the dedicated widget in  the YPP Dashboard.

Example Rewards Calculation
For a channel with falling under Tier 2 for subscribers, which signed up and remained in the program with auto-sync service enabled for 1 month. During this month that channel uploaded 5 new videos to their YouTube channel, 2 videos directly to Joystream channel with manual upload, and referred 3 other YouTube channels that ended up signing up.

In the end of this month, the payout to this channel's account will be:
5000 * 2.5 + 5 * 300 * 2.5 + 1000 * 3 * 2.5= 23,750 JOY

How rewards are calculated
Rewards are based on the popularity Tiers assigned to the channels upon program registration tiers are calculated based on the number of subscribers. The ranges of subscribers qualifying for each Tier can be reviewed and updated by the program operators at any time without prior notice.

To sign up, user has to go through the onboarding flow provided in the Gleev web app and authorise with the Google Account, connected to their YouTube channel. During the authorisation, the access to the YouTube content youtube.readonly scope, to fetch channel meta data and content information; and access to email address for the YouTube account has to be granted for the JSG operated Backend Application (API client) that connects to YouTube API.

Rewards are calculated based on the internal DB records, generated automatically or added by the JSG team operating the program.
- For new signups, the sign up date will be reviewed in defining which period the payout should be made.
- For referrals, each new channel who signs up adding the referrer's channel name to the referrer field in the onboarding flow generates a record of the referral. In the end of the related payment cycle, number of referring channel records for new sign up is multiplied by referral base payment and tier multiplier of the referring channel.
- For the videos synced from YouTube, all video content will be monitored by program operator, Jsgenesis team and its partners. To qualify for compensation it has to adhere to reasonable quality, focus on Web3-Crypto topic, and match the category selected for the video. It must adhere to Copyright Policy  and general Terms of Service.

This is a manual process, including visual review of the YouTube channel title, description and uploaded content. To be verified the content has to be of reasonable quality, focussing on Crypto/Web3 and match the selected category selected during upload.

:three:

Add a paragraph to YPP before "License" paragraph>

#### Rights to monetize

Accepting these terms and conditions between the creator and JS Genesis AS, warrants the rights for Gleev App to sync the content from creator’s YouTube Channel with the Joystream Network. 

Syncing content means replicating or uploading the creator’s content to the storage nodes and make it available to content distribution nodes of Joystream Network infrastructure which is operated by Joystream DAO. The content record of ownership by the channel created by YouTube creators signing up to YouTube Partenrship program, is kept on the Joystream Blockchain, that is a public ledger. Joystream platform is an open source project and its operating model implies multiple Apps and Gateways connected to Joystream blockchain and network infrastructure. 

Synced content can be monetized by any participants of the Joystream Network, and specifically gateways (Apps) connected to Joystream blockchain and infrastructure. All connected Apps can distribute, display and monetize creators’ video content and its attributes, such as likes by members of network, comments, reactions, metadata of channel and membership owning the video content.

Creator has the rights to claim monetization of their content as part of general platform T&Cs, and the compensation in JOY tokens from JS Genesis AS for the synced content from YouTube as part of the Youtube Partnership Program agreement.

  2. Update header of the section Rights to monetize => Rights of Jsgenesis and Third Party Applications

  3. add paragraph to the bottom of "Rights of Jsgenesis and Third Party Applications" section:

For the full duration of the content existing on Joystream Network and as long as creator does not delete their content and/or channel from the blockchain, any third party application can use the content of such channel as described in this paragraph. This applies even to the cases when Jsgenesis AS is no longer operating Gleev App and seizes to exist as a legal entity.
