Vydia was ok at first. Until they charged me 500$ for a Usage Violation Fee. I uploaded a remix to a song and didn’t think much of it. I checked my account and noticed a charge for 500$. I emailed Vy... See more

Vydia is not paying artists

Vydia is not paying artists, Since last year November they have refused to pay and they keep telling musicians that they will pay the next month, it's now been 4 months and they don't tell when they will actually release the money, They have created one unique text that they copy and paste it when you ask when you will be paid, some of us have more than 4000 dollars but we are stressed now that we might loose all this money to this scammers since they don't want to give us our money. They said the minimum limit should be 35 dollars inorder for them to pay. Now we have thousands of dollars but they don't want to pay, they want us to delete our Vydia accounts so that they don't get to pay balance and they be left with our money. They are even failing to remove YouTube claims on youtube so that they can keep earning from our music. I regret joining Vydia. It's been 3 years in hell

Vydia is one of the worst YouTube Content ID platforms

Vydia is one of the worst YouTube monetization page or Music Distributors out there, I've had an horrible experience, they where very friendly when they where trying to get my artists to their platform but after they sign in, it has been A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. They have the worst costumer service, they don't respect the artist that trust them and work with them and they totally change after you sing in and move your catalog with them.

It's very frustrating, my recommendation to all managers and artist is STAY AWAY FROM THIS PEOPLE, they are not transparent, they wont respect you after you entered with them and they do not fulfill anything of what they promise.

Stay away from them

Stay away from them.

I tried to delete my account several times and, although they answer emails, they try to do everything to not let you delete your account. I deleted my Paypal account but they still charged me.

I've now deleted all the content I had there, but still, I can't delete my account.

There is no Transparency (Is Fraud)

Is a gotcha. you get almost half of your profits, the last time I contacted the support (pesimo) I wanted to add my channel to the white lsita, but they did not want to. rather they threatened me to take my own YouTube video.
They were forcing me to cancel the dispute I had started. for them, I monetize and pay with the profits of my work.

This is the message I received from them.

It has come to our attention that you filed appeals to the content that we are claiming on your behalf on YouTube. Doing this halts monetization in its entirety for the releases on YouTube.
As agreed, Vydia will remove Content ID once the term has been fulfilled. If you need us to resend you the CLA's please let us know.

Please remove your appeals in order to reactivate monetization on your account. If we do not hear back from you by tomorrow, we will have to issue delayed takedowns for these appeals.
You will then have 7 days to remove these appeals or your videos may temporarily be removed.
Please get back to us as soon as possible in order to resolve this matter amicably."
It is the worst experience. vidya is a complete fraud.

Vydia is a scam

Vydia is a scam. I wanted to pay with paypal. Not possible, even when they advertised it.…..scam......they just put a paypal icon and then you have to pay with a creditcard if you click it. And Paypal even said there was no activity for my account.

Horrible Experience

Horrible Experience!

I felt so bad once I sent an email to their customer service to ask if they would take any percentage of the income, and got the answer that they take 35%, without saying it anywhere on the website, if not until the final comfirmation of the upload. Couldn't find this answer even in the FAQs (April 2017).
Don't screw up people this way.
Waste of Time.
