I was making about a decent income in youtube making animations in a niche for the past 7 years, i was making peanuts for like 5 years until I hit gold in a certain niche, now suddendly im making 0 because some reddit faggot made a video about how this niche is bad (it isn't, it's just faglord redditors and karens freaking out about everything)

So basically im fucked. I have no job experience and only amateur skills in some niche software. I've saved around 350k since I live like a monk and the past few years have been a blast.

I have no chance of moving the content to other platforms, patreons, etc, it's a pipedream.

I basically have the content still promoted by youtube, making views, people making money from video reactions to my content, but I cannot make any money from it. Im fucking suicidal mate. This is beyond frustrating. Already appealed, Youtube is just retarded. Suddendly if some faglord reacts to a video in 10 minutes this video becomes ok, but if you are an animator, which is the one that actually worked for months on a video, you get fucked.

Im lowmid 30's with no job experience because I've dedicated my time to this and I have made more money doing something I like than I would have ever made wagecucking. Im too low IQ to study so that's why somehow I ended up making money online. I remember the soul crushing depresion back then not knowing back to do and I feel like that again but with savings. However this inflation will fuck them up real fast if I don't find a way to make more money.

I've considered learning some other software like SFM and go full retard at trying to master it and see if I can come up with something. Is this worth it?

>>952898
After having experienced what it is making money at home, at your own schelude, without any fiverr schelude or wagecucking involved bullshit, i just cannot see how the fuck people do it. Making money online from your own content, making banger videos that rank well and give you passive income while you work at your own pace on the next videos is the best feeling ever. And this fucking faglord reddit faggot retard had to make a video on the niche you work at making it look bad so tardtube goes and starts demonetizing channels and deleting videos randomly with their fucking AI bots. I got videos removed with the dumbest timestamps ever, its clearly bots reviewing videos and appeals.

Im too fucking old to get a real job anyway. I need to hack myself into another niche and make content for that again but I will tell you what.

As someone that "made it", there's so much luck involved. All these people that have big channels wouldn't admit it, but you need to be at the right stop, making the right content, and making hit videos in a row, so your channel places further videos well. I was proud of my videos and worked really hard even tho tryhards may think its some silly animations that are simple, i worked real hard on my shitty computer and found success. This makes a lot of tryhard faggots mad like that reddit faglord that was complaining about how he makes no money while others rank content. No shit faggot, how about you do it yourself? no, you would rather shit on other people businesses being a reddit faglord that makes money on sensationalist videos while complaining about other niches.

Anyway, holy shit, what the fuck do I do? I cannot hold a real job expecially having experience what it feels to actually hack the matrix. HOW do people wagecuck? HOW do people follow orders, learn complex ass tryhard blender and then get paid peanuts for it following artistic directions of other people? This is fucking retarded man.

No, I'm imagining gruesome shit being the content because apparently one redditor making a video on you is enough for youtube to crack down on your entire channel, and that shit doesn't happen on accident.

If you don't want people to think you're up to some grotesque shit that gets you views and money to the point of having 350k saved up from youtube alone, stop beating around the bush and being vague as shit about what you're doing
If what you were doing was harmless, than a single video bringing attention to your content (or even just your type of content) wouldn't have nuked your income.

Holy shit you guys are fucking retarded. Fine here's the content:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEfTZ1x7qgE

Yes you may laugh, "oh its some dumb stickmen videos" but I busted my ass working on this, only to have some faglords complaining about guns in animations in some Karen board and have the entire shit demonetized on a random day with deleted videos. Meanwhile this dogshit is allowed to exist on the platform:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6qq-VEODrY

Nobody makes shit from Patreon, apparently only retards making porn, and it pays like shit compared to ad revenue. Even Alan Becker makes dogshit considering his ratio of 10 million subs to money earned from Patreon. In fact he stopped adding rewards because it was a waste of time.

Only niche shit (like porn for autists) makes money on Patreon because they are forced to go in there. Any normal content makes money mostly from ads. If they pull the plug you are fucked.

YouTube is a fucking lottery. They enforce rules randomly. For some content they enforce it in some ways, others are allowed, just like that channel. But im afraid that guy is working hard on these videos to meet the same fate the moment a video goes viral. After all I went for 4 years with 0 problems.

Basically if you are an animator you are royally fucked sooner or later unless you are part of a mega elite that can keep away with anything (Pencilmation having 20 million subs and having sexualized stuff, srynges etc on their fucking thumbnails for an example). Sooner or later someone gets offended. Meanwhile gameplay faggots keep spamming their dogshit content all over the site that only children watch and are unaffected by the "made for kids" dumb shit system that fucked up the whole site. This is all a lobbists operation to kick independent animators off the site because big studios are mad that some random guy that's half broke can entertain more than their overproduced crap. Fuck it, fuck em all.

I wasn't targeted, animation as a whole has been targeted for some years now, it's just getting worse. There's a clear double standard between animators and gameplay channels. The most obvious case is when animators get their shit demonetized while gameplay channels make reaction videos on these same fucking videos and continue making money. Same goes for the made for kids bullshit. Alan Becker was hit by this in some videos, he isn't earning shit from these videos, meanwhile some jackass records his dumb face watching the video and suddendly he has comments and full monetization enable. Do you realize now how fucking frustrating this is? do you spend months making a fucking single video, and if you win the faglord made for kids lottery or worse, deleted because it breaks some retarded policy, the gameplay reactors spamming tards keep making money on these videos. Anyone that isn't a retard would agree with what im saying.

I never said it was easy faggots. There you have my niche now, go make these videos and you'll kill yourself when you realize how time consuming this shit is even if it may seem simple. Only an aspie NEET with no job would be able to get these done. Oh and have fun working for a long time on this shit only to lose the algorithm lottery, because luck is like 51%. I was close to going out of business many times because the algorithm fucks around all the time. Most people never get it, even if their content is good, there's too many people, there's too many moving parts, you need LUCK. Good Luck is essential in life. I had luck, and I stopped having luck, now im fucked and luckily I learned how to save and invest my money because I knew luck comes and goes so I've lived like a monk, and with current interest rates im meeting minimum expenses and with these yields so im not completely fucked, however I need a plan B.

Youtube or any short-form content site is just a terrible place for children. Get them to read and watch media that’s sublime. Media that’s educative about the world (even very little) and inspires awe instead of mere stimulation.
What OP shown here >>953253 fits this criteria. I’d argue that Alan Becker’s art is justified too. Elsagate and grifty shit along with reaction content regurgitating something they didn’t make, pulling demand on a platform that no longer cares about meaning nor art is something to be disgusted about.
It’s a respectable act of rebellion to make good media in spite of the surrounding landscape that is digital video.

Going back to OP, he really should stop immersing himself in self loathing and despairful rhetoric like:
>Im fucking suicidal
>Im too low IQ
>Im too fucking old
>etc
I’m not invalidating his frustration with the hell that is Youtube, It’s that I’m pretty sure he is lashing out at others, even other hard working artists like again, Alan Becker (I’m sorry, war animations and stick fight animations were both fond memories of my childhood that I can’t help but mention if we’re talking about it), due to his bitterness. From observing his posts, he’s resentful. He’s lost his support. He doesn’t have as much passion that made his work. His anger is the dominant force right now, and its hard as hell to keep anger within.

OP, if you’re reading this, do you hate life? Do you hate your life? OP, please, unironically on god no cap fr, get some mental help. I assure you it would give you a better state of mind to make any decision about your future. What do you want out of life? What do you want with the world?

I'd ask to chat and see what's up since you seem chill, and I know a good few sfm animators, that's up to you.

As for my advice, you did it once, restart on a new channel and do it again; Or change your current content strategy, but above all, you know the alternative is ass, and you like what you do now right? You're an artist, make your art. Do what gives you passion and pursue nothing else, it's luckily worked out before, you know how to ride the line between knowing what people want and making what people will watch, and making things you actually like well enough as is.
you'll find a new niche, or make your own. Trust yourself a little. I get not trusting yourself though, trusting that you actually know what you're doing is hard to accept personally, but we both know that regardless whether you actually do or don't, it's the motivation to do it that actually manifests said success.

not surprised neither you, the redditards commenting and author of the video realize the fact that Nico and Cash are the "exploiting children" the most by not marking their videos with the "Made For Kids" bullshit when everyone knows no one above 12 watches that shit, including YT. They know pressing that button ruins your video and makes you no money, so they cherrypick channels to not be affected by this while animators get their videos randomly fucked with that shit when they are the ones that spend the most time producing a video when these fags spam videos all day. Money talks, no one gives a fuck about kids, including COPPA which is just a group of lobbyists paying Karens to stop their competition (independent creators vs big studios). The morons that add inappropiate shit are on the gameplay niche too, but 99% of muh elsagate videos are about the animation niche, since the people that make them are on the gameplay niche themselves and don't want a mass purge of content that could affect them since YT is run by bots.

Not an animator, just a tourist, but your whole post seems like a classic case of lacking confidence and self belief. Youve been working at animations for years, managed to carve a niche, and found success, but suddenly found some shitlord and you crumble down?

Come on anon, you are better than this. If your channel is getting hits, fight those to hell and back. If the algo is dwmoting you, diversify your content and offer your typical niche at a patreon exclusive level. Also look into commision work. Usually furries and other autists will pay big cash if you can do what they want.

What you need right nownis confidence and vision on your next steps. Besides you can't sell lemnoade for your whole life. You have developed a serious skill, that's not going to go away over night. Try to see what exactly it is that youtube disliked and simply change the content or make it more subtle. More practically, open a new channel, and try to find inspiration in a slightly different but new way. You have capital so you could even try to learn a new skill and get your work to a next level

You can have shitlords, but you only have you to get dragged around by your bullshit.
