Great show 👍 Dude the problem with depending on donations is that by the time I support all of the content creators I watch, I'm shelling out hundreds of dollars a month.
I tried being a creator on youtube and x where you maybe can get ad revenue after you have busted your ass chasing algorithms 16 hrs a day for 6 months to a year for free while they make money off your hard work.
Then you run the risk of getting suspended for some random infraction of community guidelines. That happened to me on YT AND X just as I was gaining steam (10k+ views a day)... FUCK THAT!!!
*correction 10k views per vid (around 1-3k views a day)
