2 months ago@rglullis I always turn off mid-roll ads for the first 1-3 days of any of my videos going up on YouTube so my subscribers can have a better experience watching. That leaves a lot of revenue on the table, since the first couple days generally have the most (like 70-80%) views and watch time.
It’s not all about the money for many of us. I make enough to live and pay bills for my family, but I’m still making less than half what I made doing software consulting.
@rglullis No. YouTube is literally the only video platform on the planet, today, where you can develop an organic audience (especially if you want that audience to provide enough support to live on). Peertube, while the tech/philosophy is different, is like other ‘alt’ video platforms like Odysee, in that the current potential audience is extremely limited, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
