If I ever make a youtube channel*, I have no idea what it would be about, but the thumbnails would all be pictures of random objects with big red letters saying, “Don't use these!”This kind of mysterious and “promising to show you how it is really done” thumbnail drags people in.Thinking about this, “Don't use objects.” It is pretty good programming advice—it could be a decent programming channel.___* It wouldn't be on YouTube. Why would one support Alphabet/Google/YouTube?

@gausby Because YouTube makes it possible for independent creators to make a living?

@anderspuck what are the numbers on that? Most of the bigger channels (with one million subscribers or more) still accept sponsorships from some VPN and make sure to plug their Patreon accounts.

@gausby Those channels usually employ entire crews. You don't need a million subscribers to make a living.Also paid sponsorships is one of the ways you can make money on YouTube. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

@gausby It depends more on your views than the number of subscribers. But I would say you could probably make a living with about 20,000 subscribers.

@anderspuck that is a surprisingly low number. I guess you would have to produce a lot of content though. Is it fair to assume that it would be more than 40 hours a week?

@gausby Either produce a lot of content or accept sponsorships. It probably would be more than 40 hours per week, but I think most startups are like that.

@anderspuck I think all startups are like that. If I were to start a channel, with the hopes of sustaining myself from it, I would diversify my income—sponsorships and some patreon like service. I don't think I would be able to trust YouTube enough—yes, they pay for the bandwidth, that is true, but if I could understand and navigate the rules for monetization, they might change on a whim one week from now, or tomorrow.
