was there some kind of change recently with that? I usually give no gently caress about video bloggers or whatever but i watch a podcast on youtube sometimes because they release a lot of loving content and I need white noise for my poo poo posting but I had to quit watching because they went from 2 hours of show to adding in poo poo about amazon links, patreon, side streams, merchandise, advertising and halt the show to talk about their merchandise nonstop.

from what i know, Youtube changed their advertising policy so videos deemed not child-friendly cannot be monetized, so basically any video with swearing can no longer give the uploader view whore money

What happens when you spend 5-10 years as a youtube star and then try to get a real job?

basically, uploaders have the option to turn ads on for their videos. if they do this, they get money for views, but it's something ludicrously low, like 1 cent for every 1000 views. of course, when you're getting like 500K+ views per video and upload thrice a day, that can add up, hence why a few Youtubers have been able to afford luxurious penthouses/mansions.
