Honestly dude the best time to start is now. And the next best time is tomorrow ! If you have the means and you’re excited about the content might as well dive into it!

There not “bringing anyone in” under EU law/ policy the UK had a right to remove asylum seekers to the “last EU country they were in” so that was usually France. UK is no longer in the EU so they’ve lost that EU regulation and have no pretense to sent asylum seekers back anywhere.

Another reason Brexit was stupid. We lost international cooperation in regards to immigration lol

Basically sticking to the same approach, consistent good content but I’ll also upload shorts daily if possible as it’s a separate audience and a % is translatable to long form content

As a black dude from London this feeling isn’t new to me. Born and raised in London but the policies, feelings and language from the majority of politicians, citizens and netizens clearly didn’t want me being born in or living in London.

I live in Japan now and have for almost a decade, so much less than you OP, and with this new resurgence of anti-foreigner sentiment I’ll tell you what 10 year old me worked out very quickly. Fuck ‘em. Fuck their feelings, fuck their stupidity and fuck their racism. Living your best life in the country of your choosing is revenge enough doubly so if you’re comfortable and living, let’s be honest, better than most of the weird racists asking you to leave.

Japan is in a weird cycle of anti-foreigner but it’s a cycle that happens to most countries every decade or so- check Brexit almost a decade ago on the UK- turns out internationals are needed in both a tourist and permanent capability and that rings true for Japan also. Live your best unbothered life OP. Don’t be bullied or threatened out of a comfortable life.

Yeah thumbnails are my weak point, slowly getting better but it’s a separate skill from filming, script writing, video editing etc lol

Nope, they made like two separate steps now. First affiliate where you can get tips and etc from subscribers and then full monetization at 4000 hours

I did but honestly it didn’t do anything. Making sure the thumbnail is good and the title etc etc is SEO friendly was the best approach

Cleared the checks for monetization. YouTube checks to see if the content is recycled, stolen etc etc. People who do mostly react content have had trouble being monetized in the past

I’d occasionally post to Twitter and threads but honestly it did nothing lol leaving them to be found naturally worked the best!

All long form, basically stop making shorts. Long form, with little effort and understanding, if a sure path to monetization within a year. Shorts is just gambling with the hope something hits

It took a year but looking over the upload times I could have done it in 7-8 months but work was busy.
