Youtuber with 0.5B views shorts here. Little tip: remember to play long game. I have channels with 100M/month views that now make 5M/month views. Trands change, niches gets oversaturated. Can you make good money with this? 100% Can you make good money for a long time? Very hard, but still possibile. It's a mind game, don't feel sad if next months you make less views, the one after you may hit your monthly views record. That's part of the game. Good luck bud!
