  • At least with ads, 60% goes to the creator and 40% to YouTube. I had a video go viral because it was newsworthy, and a CDN (Storyful) offered to help with licensing and marketing, and their price was 40% of my 60%. I wasn’t really expecting the video to go viral, so decided “why not.”

    You can’t save logs.

    My small city just changed domains and went to 365 Government. As part of the process we had to migrate all our accounts and create new ones, and we lost all of our Teams history because there’s no way to save the logs.

    Now if someone asks for chat history as part of an Open Records Request or as discovery in a lawsuit, we can’t provide them. Other government bodies are starting to realize this and everyone’s about to start getting “don’t use Teams” memos from the lawyers.

    But if he’s elected, he’ll be able to tell the justice department to pay up as part of his official duties anyway.
