Did you get a new Youtube partnership? I see the Curse Union for Gamers icon on your Youtube page.
Yes, I signed up with Curse last month.
As of right now I'm iffy on whether or not I'll stick with them. The main reason I signed up was that they were supposed to be selling ads only to relevant gaming advertisers which I had hoped would make the ads on my videos the least obnoxious they could be. Having checked up on them a few times though I get ads for all kinds of crap that doesn't seem related at all (Lunchables, O'Reilly Auto Parts, some handbag store?) and I haven't been able to determine yet if I'm making any more than I would have by myself. With only one month of data it looks roughly equivalent.
I'll give it another month or two at least, it's not like they're actively making things worse or anything. If there's no appreciable difference by that point I'll probably bolt to at least be able to regain some small control of ad content. Luckily their contract is very friendly to the content maker - there's no lock-in and I can nullify the agreement "at any time for any or no reason."
