jogir, I have no idea what point you're trying to make. And honestly I don't give a F*** what you or anyone else here does. I'm just telling you that the whole youtube tech channel thing is a huge pain for creators, and it's getting exponentially more difficult and risky and limited in what's allowed. And more and more, those who do it because they like it are dropping off because it just isn't worth it. Too many risks, no rewards. And it's only gonna get worse, with more and more restrictions on what you can say and do. And what makes it worse is the viewers who have this arrogant, entitled attitude that they deserve perfection, and won't spend 0.25 seconds doing something that might help the creator. If you're fine with the small tech channels disappearing in the future, that's fine with me. Just don't be surprised. IMO, it's going to be nothing more than mindless entertainment for the masses in the near future. And IMO, we're pretty much already there. |

As someone who is one of those creators, and talks to other tech creators on a regular basis, I think you are way off the mark. |

A good way to avoid ads and give revenue to creators BTW (minus Youtube's cut of course). --- End quote --- How much do the creators actually get? Last time I checked, it's something like 50% --- End quote --- Youtube do take 50% of the Premium service fee. But how the rest of your 50% monthly fee is actually spread across creators is a mystery algorithm. But about 20% of my Youtube income comes from Premium subscription users. But they don't tell you want percentage of viewers are Premium subscribers. |

That's how it works. That's how you have a job. That's how you have money. That's why there are businesses like department stores and supermarkets. That's how it works. You RECEIVE a service, and in turn you PAY for the service. Is there some belief that, for some insane reason, computer software and youtube videos are somehow different? They aren't. Advertisements are the way that you pay for the service. Ideally, you click on them so the poor youtube creator can make $0.00002 of revenue for his hard work. Yeah, great, block the ads. And as is happening now, tech and other useful stuff on youtube will dwindle to nothing, and all we'll be left with is videos of cats playing piano that get 25 trillion views. :palm: --- End quote --- First the problem was that people aren't paying to watch tech videos, no the problem is that people are not interested in tech videos... How does this go together? The ad revenue doesn't even cover the cost of producing the video, so even if people don't use adblockers creators of tech videos don't get an additional budget for advertising their videos. --- End quote --- Correct. Take my recent ones that have done a smidge over 100k+ views #1301 - Arcade Machine $232 #1299 - Dumpster Laptop $171 #74 - 5G Causes EVERYTHING $273 #1298 - 2000W Power PSU $215 Lesser view ones like #1313 - Bad Luck Mailbag got $139 in revenue. And I'm a reasonably popular channel in the tech sector. If you want to do tech tutorial videos like say my whiteboard #1300 - "Parts Per" Notation, that earned me $65. |
