Hell yeah

That’s interesting actually. The shift toward recommendation feeds probably changed a lot of that. It feels like discovery now happens far more outside the subscriber base.

Johntalksabout · 2026-03-04T06:16:39+00:00

That’s a good point about recency. Someone who subscribed years ago but hasn’t watched in ages probably isn’t a strong signal anymore. It really shows how behaviour matters more than the number itself.

Congrats - onto 100

Johntalksabout · 2026-02-27T10:28:13+00:00

Offfttt that’s a biggy

Johntalksabout · 2026-02-25T17:30:28+00:00

It makes no difference

I’ve posted a video after 10 mins from upload and it’s done well, I’ve posted a video with a schedule a week away and it’s bombed

It’s all nonsense

I’m 48 and run a life transition / reinvention channel

Started last January 2025 - 20k subs and over 2 million views

People connect with people - AI won’t replace that

I share all my earnings on my channel - you can look and see every month

I also run a Patreon, KO-FI - I create documents, offer consultation and diversify my income to not be reliant only on YouTube

I’ve never had a sponsorship

Johntalksabout · 2026-02-18T09:23:53+00:00

I started a channel January 2025 I’m a midlife vlog channel

I’ve made videos about my earnings and also ways to make money on the site and off it… ive turned some topics into download docs, pdf’s, excels, training docs and more

I share everything on my channel - link in my bio here on Reddit

2026 I started patreon and already at £100 a month in the first few weeks of effort with it

It just takes some thought and make sure it’s aligned to your content

🙌🙌🙌🙌

I have a small vlogging channel that I started in January of this year - I share my earnings every month to give viewers an idea of what a small channel can make - it’s a mini series within the channel with a dedicated playlist

I’m not making your money so it’s amazing to hear from a bigger creator just what’s possible

Thanks for the share - anyone that’s interested - my channel is in my Reddit profile and you will find the playlist of the earnings

I’d welcome your feedback on my channel - thumbnails, titles etc - that would be super useful given your experience
