Not saying this is a bad idea but there are reasons why normies don't go into this
>Don't like hearing their own voice
>Don't know how to edit videos
>Normies tend tot have elementary knowledge on a wide variety of topics, rather than valuable knowledge on one topic, meaning their channel would have a hard time staying on topic to a specific theme (notice how a large amount of youtubers have like 3-4 different channels each for different hobbies)
>Scared of friends/family finding out about channel

>They may feel as though it's 'too late'

just go to the casino with your weekly wages and triple it

the reality is it's a very large amount of work to produce a quality channel. and you have to do all that work upfront with no guarantee of it actually paying off. if you only half-arse the videos then you are just relying on getting extremely lucky with the recommendation algorithm so you might as well try the above.

then if you even do get the channel off the ground you need to keep pumping out videos to keep up with the rat race. if you weren't passionate about your channel and just got into it because it was easy money then this will be its own hell

about 1 in 1,000 people can be successful on YouTube and make a livable profit.

amazing that you made it to adulthood and still believe anyone can just do anything. Just take a look at the hundreds of thousands of channels that post videos daily and get zero engagement or views.

same as the millions of Twitter accounts that all think they're just a few good posts away from "making it", or the trillion men aged 18-35 who all get the idea "I'm gonna develop a game!" and end up wasting all their time on a project nobody will ever hear about.

[Anonymous No.58563566]

Hardly anyone makes any decent money.
YouTube can decide to fuck you on any given moment and undo everything you have tried to build.
It's absolutely saturated after all these years and to be first mover in something it will have to be pretty niche.

I'd only consider doing it now if you were just recording something that you were going to do anyway for fun. Maybe the genuine enthusiasm for what you are doing mixed with a lot of luck would turn into something, maybe.

NTA but I doubt it’s the parents that make him feel this way. For me personally I’d be more annoyed if random ass aunts/uncles found out because you basically can never go to a holiday or family get together without it being mentioned. Meanwhile with your parents you see/talk to them enough to where they probably forget or are just so used to it where they stop asking.

[Anonymous No.58572361]

>>58562894
I've been thinking about it - not necessarily for extra income either just something fun to do. Problem is, I don't technically know how to produce a video. Animating, Modelling, Recording, Editing, hell even just setting the thumbnail on a youtube video - I don't know how any of that shit works. Could I find out? Yea, of course, I have no doubt the information to learn those skills is widely available, but it would take time and effort away from my other hobbies & vidya that I also want to do at the moment.
That's really the only thing stopping me at this point, just a small barrier to entry if I don't want to make absolute shit-tier content.
Could I just pop open my laptop, turn on my webcam, and start rambling on [topic] here? Haha, who the hell would watch that? And why the hell would I find enjoyment in making something like that?

Maybe I'll learn those skills in the future, maybe not, but right now? ehhhhh

[Anonymous No.58572670]

you would just get banned for some arbitrary dumb reason and lose all of your income. What is the point of that? might as well use an alternative like peertube or odysee

[Anonymous No.58572691]

i had a monetized channel for almost 9 years and on my best months i was making 20k a month

i got demonetized and now im making 0

betting your income on some fucking AI + gay staff that will nuke an entire genre after not having a problem with it because suddendly its not wanted anymore is retarded, at least save 100% so you dont kill yourself (I would have if i didnt). support just follows whatever the ai flags.

the only way tore monetize a channel again is by destroying it by deleting videos randomly until you delete whatever amount of videos trigger the demonetization since they wouldn't tell you which ones are it and reapply every 3 months which is retarded

[Anonymous No.58572865]

Youtube is a walled garden now. Unless you get a one off viral video from some kind of controversy, the algorithm is designed to keep channels down. There are literally hundreds of thousands of channels that never get more than 100 views. I'd be willing to bet 99% of channels never even make it to the threshold that allows monetization. All of the top channels you see are support by large corporations. Mr. Beast's agent is Disney subsidiary.

[Anonymous No.58572940]

I did. Maybe one day I'll get monetized and earn more than 0.00 dollars per hour of work.

99.7% of all youtube never get monetized. Of the 3 out of 100 that do, 98% average less than 100 a dollars a month. I'll do the math for you, thats 6 out of 100,000 channels making more than 1200 dollars a year. Channels not people because the same 50 people and studios own many of the top channels. Good luck, just like actors, lotto players, and musicians a shit ton of people try it and almost none make it big.
