I suppose, though there's really no point in being a partner if you're just going to opt out of advertising (there's also less incentive for Google/YouTube to make you a part of the program in the first place).

Okay: What is the difference between a Machinma Partnership and a Youtube Partnership?

People that do gaming videos can't get regular partnerships do to copyright. But Machinima makes deals with gaming companies which allows people to get partnerships even if they do gaming vids

So a Machinma partnership is better?

I am currently 17, and I can't sign up for my own adsense account until I am 18. Should I just wait until the fall when I turn 18, or should I sign up for one now under my parents? Can I easily make another account when I am 18 and link that one to my channel?

When I was in a situation like this, I still made an account but I used my sister's name cause she was 20. When I turned 18 I just changed the name to mine. Basically they ask you to be 18 because you can't get paid if you are younger, so you can still get an account just wait until fall to get paid

So it is fairly easy to make a new adsense account and switch it with the old one?

you used to be able to take away surten words...

This is slightly off the topic of AdSense, but may I ask you, Larry, at what point did you decided to apply for Partnership? I mean this in the sense of how many views were you getting when you decided to apply? (If you are willing to answer, I understand if not) I'm just wondering at what point would it be good to try for partnership. Is getting 2,000 views on videos regularly too low?

Sure, I can answer. I applied for partnership in 2010 December, I thought maybe I'd get a Christmas present and be accepted, well guess what I had to wait until 2011 April to get a response from YT but I wasn't pissed at them cause I was accepted I just checked out my analytics reports and back in 2011 April I was getting around 1300-2400 views per day, so that's not much, however at that point I already had 1102 subscribers which probably made a huge difference when deciding whether to accept me or not. I gotta say that if I had to go through this process all over again I'd wait until I had at least 700 subscribers and 2k daily views with a rate of at least 1 video per month. With your animating skills I'm pretty sure you'll reach those numbers soon
