A year in, he requested to have his contract dropped, which he says was denied.

A year after that, he requested the drop again, citing the poor percentage split. Then, a representative was allegedly quite responsive, negotiating his rate down.

When multi-channel network MCNs were all the rage four years ago, content creators hoping to carve out a business on YouTube flocked over to networks like Maker. Maker would guide millennials with little business experience through the wild west of digital content creation and monetization. Over-inflated, Maker over time lost its ability to manage 60, clients.

But the reason the views were growing was because the network kept growing and we were just adding more and more channels. And yet, still holding out hope for Maker is Bailey Beattie, a humor YouTuber who believes that Maker wants to stay partnered with him. When he first joined two years ago, Maker had brand deals and was responsive via e-mail, but after amassing several thousand more creators, Beattie says, Maker fell out of touch with him.

Maker Studios' offices are located in a large warehouse in Culver City. Walk in and you are greeted by the Maker logo. Feel free to hang out in the lobby area, where there is some chic furniture to lounge on.

The lobby leads into a large kitchen area. There's even a mini convenience store where employees can buy snacks, drinks, and other goodies.

Or if you're really hungry, grab some Caribbean food. Once a week, vendors come in to provide catered lunch for employees for a fee. The main office floor is pretty wide open. Each area is divided by teams. Some teams are based around traditional company functions like HR and finance.

Though the company has changed a lot over the years, the team is still having fun. Here, a couple of employees played Mario Kart. Employees' desks have signs with their occupants' names and descriptions of what they "make. The Maker team is always watching its analytics to figure out how its videos are doing and whether something is going viral.

Maker is a dog-friendly office. More than a few employees keep their pets around. There is always someone filming "Let's Play" videos, where YouTubers play video games and provide commentary.

This is the "all-hands area," where the team has monthly meetings to announce new shows, new stars, and developments from its relationship with Disney. Most of the time, it's just a hangout area. There's evidence of the deal with Disney everywhere, including this sign for the DisneySide All-Star Creator Conference, a recent conference to help grow Maker's creators through the Disney partnership.

Baymax from Disney's "Big Hero 6" was also hanging around.
