Anne Spade Dropped From Google-YouTube Partnership For Clicking Her Own Ads

This is kinda sad. Ann Spade got dropped from her YouTube partnership for invalid clicking of the ads on her channel. She was searching for computer stuff and only found it on her YouTube channel and clicked it. Now it looks like Google dropped her. That is a big no-no.

This is one of those stories you hate to hear about. Ann seems like a really nice person and I've enjoyed her videos to date and I hope this doesn't stop her from continuing to upload because she is talented and just an interesting person. But, I know that you do not want to be clicking on your own ads because there is the possiblity of Google discovering this activity and it has happened to others in the past outside of Youtube - this is the most prominent youtuber I've run across who has lost their account.

So take this as a word of warning - you will lose your Google privileges if you violate the terms and conditions of your agreement.
