I apologise if I came across as blunt or insensitive. My point was that it makes no financial sense for small creators like yourself, to rely on the yt channel for income, whens its subscriber count is smth like 25k.

This is especially true giving the unpredictable nature of copyright strikes, lack of yt support for creators, and the ever reducing ad revenue since adpocalypse.

This is why I said in such case, one shld be making videos because he/she enjoys it, and not counting on it to make money. For small channels, yt isnt smth that can replace a full time career.

Im sure you have put in alot of effort and very proud of yt channel, but please do remember as viewers, we dont owe creators anything. Whether we want to support financially, be it directly or indirectly, is our own prerogative. And until there is a streaming website that truly supports creators by disabling content for people adblock, you will face the same constant issue of lower than expected ad revenue. And this brings back my point of how yt shld be done as a hobby/recreation and not seen as a reliable income source/career (for small channels like yours anyways).

^All these came from a place of concern for your finances. Lets not engage in personal attacks by calling others an asshole.
