    But I’m sure they’re more than happy to cram these people’s videos full of ads despite those people not seeing a cent of it.

    Youtube honestly seems to be trying to do everything in their power to drive people off the platform and have it be bots and AI only.

      I mentioned this in another thread on the subject, but I hit a perfect storm of subject and content once I guess, and have a video on my channel that just keeps racking up views despite having under 500 subs. And at the rate I’m going I’ll never see a dime from it. It’s actually kind of infuriating when I think about it, so I try not to. I made the video for me, not for money. But it still pisses me off.

        Yeah, I’m planning on releasing some video soon, because I want to share some ideas I hope people find interesting, I don’t expect to make money from it, but it was a “it would be nice” kind of thing, but now that wouldn’t happen at all, but youtube will still probably make plenty of profit off of it if it does moderately well, which is extremely frustrating.
