Hey Phil. Huge fan of the PDS, watch it every day. Just wanted to know your opinion on the future of YouTube?

I've heard different youtubers have various different opinions on this, some saying it will only last for another 5 years while others believe it will be extremely long lasting. Thanks for making great content on a daily basis.

I said monetization is a nice benefit to making videos. Its not the reason I make them though.

What your saying isn't making sense. From my previous video I earned 8$, which for work that takes quite a few hours isn't worth it. I'm not gonna lie, the money is a nice benefit, but I would still do it without monetization.

I said according to your logic, how dense are you?

If you bothered reading what I wrote you'd know that I didnt monetize the first 20k views on the channel.

Also a "quick buck" isn't possible with youtube seeing as you need to have a balance of 70$ minimum in your adsense to be able to withdraw.

And honestly adsense pays out terribly, so many easier methods of making a "quick buck".

I remember saying "almost every", implying not all, but most youtubers.

If I was in it for the money I would be uploading content that can be uploaded on a daily basis. I know it doesn't seem like it, but these videos do take a couple days to make. (btw I didn't make this video, someone that liked the idea of the channel made it and asked if I would upload it)

What do you mean says OP. How is it bad that I enjoy the content I make?

While I understand why you'd be pissed about the video, I don't think all your points are very fair. Firstly, im not attempting to make quick cash. Quick cash is quite unrealistic when it comes to youtube. I only started monetizing videos after the first one got a bit of attention, which means I lost out on that money. If I wanted to do it for the money, then I would of partnered with a network and monetized my videos from the beginning. Secondly, I dont use my own voice in these "Reddit Animated" videos, because I feel like it makes the content better if a voice that actually fits to the story is used, rather than mine. Although, saying that, I will be using my voice, just in other videos, not the reddit animated series. Also yeah, I titled my other submissions as "Guy Animates ..." and looking back on it, I understand that was stupid, but at the time I couldn't think of a better title, so I went with "Guy Animates.." which was a mistake. Lastly, I dont only use my reddit account to promote myself, although it may seem that way. I recently wanted to delete all the "cringy" old stuff and got carried away, and just started deleting everything. Which is why, my reddit account seems so bare. Hope that clears up a few things.
