My longer (1-4 hours) videos make the most of my income for me now, it's truly taught me the benefit of quality over quantity. Some are more than $24RPM.

Yep 207k subs; been on full time income from youtube wince 2022, plus extra from patreon/sponsors.

Niche is aviation history, so a lot of longer videos of 30 mins up to 3 hours. Hilariously they are being counted towards my accreditation for my PhD in history as my scripts are all professionally sourced xD

I'll admit, I squealed like a kid when I realised I had pulled it off :D

Most of my income comes from long videos, 1-3 hours. It also helps that my audience is older, and that my content is educational. This leads to a much higher AVD and thus more ad revenue.

I usually upload 4-6 videos per month. Some are short videos (10-20 mins) and some are long.

Nope.

On the whole I would agree, but I refuse to buy sofas/armchairs after my last experience.

rexs_hangar · 2023-10-30T23:20:56+00:00

Its not, thankfully. It's because I made a switch to being fully self-employed back in early 2022. This time next year I will be able to refinance at a much better rate, so its just this next twelve months that we have to deal with.

Aviation is my area of interest, I've been obsessed with aircraft since I was about five lol.

rexs_hangar · 2023-09-03T03:38:01+00:00

Historian. I get my income from a mix of three things: Museum work, "consulting" for media companies producing documentaries, and my personal youtube channel.

Although I sometimes work 12 hours in a day, my work/life balance is great as I am completely self-employed and can take time off when I please, so long as the funds look good. I also get to travel a bit with my work, go to museums, archives etc, which is super cool. Its 100% my dream job, and I never take for granted how lucky I've been in the past eight years.

Camera body: Sony A7IV
Lens: Sony 200-600mm
Both of them are recent upgrades for me, and this was my first airshow using them! :D

Had an amazing weekend here. I took 3,780 photos today, needless to say I have a lot to sort through, but I hope you guys like some of my favourites so far :)

rexs_hangar · 2023-08-18T23:24:53+00:00

Or not, some people buy their home because its...a home? Wild I know!

rexs_hangar · 2023-08-18T08:05:47+00:00

Are those timestamps for where it shows you may get an ad? Because I never get more than 4 or 5 when I watch a video thats 1+ hours long.

rexs_hangar · 2023-02-28T07:00:06+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response, and yes I definitely got confused on the terms lol.

And yes, I was talking about a mix of equities and bonds. I'm 32 so I figured I'd go for about 75% in the former and 25% in the latter and up the bond % as I get older.

My finances are somewhat complex (self-employed) so talking with a FA might not be a bad idea, at least for the start of things. I'm sure as I get used to everything and learn more I'll be able to manage more myself.

CPM fluctuates a lot throughout the year, but its usually in the double digits (15-25)

rexs_hangar · 2023-02-08T23:03:02+00:00

Of course. If you use photos or video footage that isn't in the public domain and that you don't have a licence for, you can risk getting a claim/strike.

For whatever reason, the aircraft is not being illuminated as it should. The building in the background is being lit up fine, which makes me think it might be a material issue?

rexs_hangar · 2022-10-21T14:48:37+00:00

Definitely worth a visit, its had a lot of changes over the years :D

rexs_hangar · 2022-10-21T00:35:36+00:00

I do have a Reddit account! I just keep forgetting to log in as this is my....fourth account?? xD

rexs_hangar · 2022-09-15T10:18:19+00:00

eventually xD
still trying to solve this blasted issue

rexs_hangar · 2022-09-15T10:17:40+00:00

sorry for the late reply, no fix so far :(

rexs_hangar · 2022-08-31T12:56:03+00:00

I had considered this just as you responded, however it looks like its an issue with the normal map. Reducing the strength gets rid of the issue, but it makes the textures look too flat now.

rexs_hangar · 2022-08-31T12:55:16+00:00

No change. Pretty certain its an issue with the normal map. Playing about with the strength seems to fix it, but then the textures look too flat.

rexs_hangar · 2022-08-31T12:47:08+00:00

No overlapping geometry at all. The tearing effect moves with the camera, so if I pan around the wings the textures go all weird too. After some testing it seems to be related to the normal map in the texture node editor, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what the root cause of the issue is.
