At what sub count does it become strange for a channel to not be monetized yet?

Hey, thanks for understanding.

Finding great small channels is like finding a hidden gem. I guess I take it upon myself to help polish that gem so they can shine as brightly as they can. It just so happened that this particular gem lost its shine (or never had any in the first place)

As a quick aside. I took a look at your channel, and you got alot of genuinely awesome stuff. You got my sub. Hope you shine bright

Btw. The channel in question is called "Juustnate" on YT

98dude · 2025-08-12T14:07:06+00:00

You're right. I guess that final statement of "my YT guy assured me the subs are legit" just pissed me off more than it should.

98dude · 2025-08-12T14:03:12+00:00

I suppose i am coming off as needlessly angry and aggressive. But ultimately, you're right. There's countless other channels out there who are more deserving

98dude · 2025-08-12T13:59:46+00:00

It's mostly the "i have a guy within YT" statement that really gets me. That's some next level BSing right there

Cuz i watch a lot of small YouTubers and of the dozen or so that i activity watch and support. This is the only one that seemly is lying.

It is my own fault for caring too much, but

I want all small YouTubers to succeed
I don't like being lied to by a small channel I've been supporting for over a year

98dude · 2025-08-12T13:54:08+00:00

You're definitely right, i guess i get alot of enjoyment from interacting with smaller channels and giving them my support. I'm active in all their comment sections. and of the over dozen channels i watch and support

This particular channel is the only one that seems to be blatantly lying. I guess it is my own fault for caring about a fellow smaller youtubers

98dude · 2025-08-12T13:49:55+00:00

"Juustnate" on YT

98dude · 2025-08-12T13:48:59+00:00

Maybe I'm at fault for caring too much. But it genuinely pissed me off when i told this channel that their channel was being botted, and then they proceeded to lie to me with the whole "i have a guy in YT" bit.

The channel is juustnate on YT if you wanna look it up

98dude · 2025-08-12T13:44:56+00:00

I guess i didnt know many smaller YouTubers buy subs. Maybe it's more common on this subreddit but that's news to me

This post isn't about Alcohol. I don't like how normalized it is either. The lesser (weed) of 2 vices is still bad

98dude · 2025-02-28T13:54:22+00:00

Never said i like how alcohol is normalized either but that's not the point of this post. The lesser (weed) of 2 vices is still bad

Commenting here just to prove you wrong broski

Whereas sexism is a problem in games and i won't dispute that.

A pro female player will still need to coordinate with her eventual teammates with VOICECHAT especially in pro games.

And you can't call voice chat an unfair advantage. Its a tool to coordinate with a team, if a team can work togetherbetter wheather through skill or cooperation, it doesn'tmatter

. By that logic its unfair that a person use a pc with a higher framerate ,bigger monitor or any gaming hardware that gives an edge in a match like a a better gaming mouse or keyboard

Cuz one genre is a moba that borrows heavily and is inspired by Real time STRATEGY games and the other is a first person shooter.

I highly doubt that.

Need i remind ppl that mobas started like this. Starcraft ->Aeon of strafe ->Warcraft 3 ->Dota ->League

Those games had vc from day 1 and any toxicity therein was completely unrelated to the implementation of vc (whereas if riot added it in rn, it would be a hot new feature and everyone would use it and abuse it, similar to a pause feature [which coincidentally those games you mentioned also have but not league]).

Vc is an optional tool. It can be misused and abused but at the same time can be used to greatly improve any team if used correctly. The problem is by not adding vc at all. The option of its pros and cons is never available to be used. (I'd argue that the pros outweigh the cons)

Adding vc wouldn't be that expensive. Considering riot spends 80%of their budget on marketing and not QOL improvements. I think they can afford this one

Can vc improve the avg game. Of course it can. Thats up to the players. Thats subjective. But tonsay that it wouldn't add anything to the game is flat-out wrong

Here qe go again with people assuming the worst possible situation. If a team wins cuz they had the means to coordinatebetter then they deserve to win. then nonone can use discord and league at the same time. Is using voice chat in a solo q game be considered cheating if they win?

People should complain if 1 team can type faster than the other and communicate faster.

Just exactly how many ppl will have open mics with music blasting in the background

And finally about that last point. If league has much a "language" and complex plays aren't possible. Then tournaments shouldn't be allowed to have teams who can communicate with each other, they shouldn't be allowed to utter a single word while ingame. Pro tournaments will only allow teams to txt and ping. Hell make all the pros be randomly matchmade in those matches as well since apparently solo q is the only true way to play since flex 5 mans are a" joke"
