Now with less breakage.

To be a bit more on topic, I actually like the idea in the OP - a history of weird mid-sized game companies sounds kind of interesting. The problem is that the best form may be dubiously sane deep dives a la Defunctland - I'd probably watch a 90 minute "who were Blue Byte before Ubisoft bought them" if it was well researched and presented.

The drawback is that that style obviously takes a lot of work per video. Probably a worse return on time spent than "Old nerd reacts to tiktok: First time watching Melon Challenge (OMG!)".

I'm afraid I must amend my previous recommendation to ASMR feet videos, because apparently Youtube is cracking down on ASMR. Because ASMR is a fetish.

What hasn’t YouTube demonetized? At this point it seems like their entire business model is to not pay content creators.

I guy in canada who lives in a van, goes hiking, gets some drone shots of mountains, and cooks a meal per video

a guy in canada who goes camping, someplace unexpected like a public park or a wooded highway median, drinks an alcoholic beverage, and cooks a meal per video

a guy who used to be a marine, who wears some camo, builds a shelter outdoors and camps, reviews gear on amazon.com, cooking a meal per video

a guy who goes fishing and sleeps in the back of his pickup and films it, who cooks a meal per video

a guy who used to be a green beret, who wears some flannel, builds a shelter outside and goes camping, reviews gear on amazon.com and cooks a meal per video

a young and at least somewhat attractive woman decorates the interior of a older van in a funky unique manner and sleeps in it, has a pet dog, goes hiking, gets some drone shots of mountains, sometimes wears tight outfits in the drone shots, cooking a meal per video

a guy who made so much money filming his fishing/pickup truck camping trips that he owns three houses and ten RV’s and pays other people to renovate them while he lazes about acting weirdly smug and drives to the “set” in a $100,000 car patreon bought him

a young and extremely attractive women, like not even a model but more like an exotic fae creature who takes the form of a young woman to avoid causing your mere human brains to melt at their sheer beauty, hires a photography, makeup and lighting team to help pretend she sleeps in a really expensive brand new van made by professionals into a rolling luxury apartment that costs more than the average home in the US, wears extremely tight outfits in all shots, makes asmr noises and abstractly pantomimes all the same live-in-a-van tropes with the added bonus of being better looking, almost like a piece of capitalist performance art

featuring:

1. Van builds
2. shelter builds
3. slow 4k shots of food bubbling in a camp stove, campfire, or other traditional outdoorsy food prep equipment on homemade 2 by 4 plank bench they built on camera
4. “how do I go the the bathroom in my van haha” explanations.
5. slow 4k shots of food bubbling in a crock pot, toaster oven, microwave or pressure cooker etc only outdoors and/or in a van with marble countertops
6. ever more elaborate meal recipes that are either really rustic and outdoorsy or have huge portions or are really complex, outdoors or in a van, with videography to rival porn
7. young and/or attractive women in tight outfits bending over sometimes during van builds/ outdoors activities
8. asmr noises
8 again. young and/or attractive women in tight outfits bending over pretty much constantly during van builds/ outdoors activities
9. very young, very attractive women, bending over making asmr noise as they go to the bathroom, in a van
10. porn. just porn.

Do you like walking and talking? Maybe try something like this idk

sadly i don't think i'd do to well in front of a camera. i've been told i have a nice voice very suitable for radio, so i think i'd stick to just narration.

sweet, glad i got at least one interested customer! :c00l:

but yeah, the only issue with such a video series is that it would take a lot of work. even the script portion, which in my case would be (relatively speaking) the easiest, would still be a ton of work.

but at the same time, the payoff could also be quite good, as well. people love video essays and the long form nature allows more ads to be placed within

You aren’t going to make money until you learn to make compelling content and that will take a few years. To build a creative or entertainment career you need to be ready to lose money for a period of time. You may also never make any money and have to be cool with that.

The fact that you aren’t already sure of what your content is means you are super far off from making sick money.

guy who’s first video was of living in a van and nailing 2 by 4’s together into a bench to heat ramen noodles on is now earning a living on van/food videos and is obviously somewhat panicked about finding enough content

his fun self deprecating humor at a voluntary living situation that let him travel is now a small business that employs seven people full time as he struggles to show enthusiasm

“but before I start today’s recipe of Beef bourguignon I’d like to give a shout out to RAID SHADOW LEGENDS” he says, visibly holding back tears

I have a youtube channel called Twerk From Home. It's very unsuccessful.

Probably because there's not much twerking.

A channel called Whistle While u Twerk, where it's big booty babes whistling and twerking at the same time would probably be decently successful if the thumbnails were stupid enough.

there is a seven part install video series that goes into incredible detail on granite porosity and ways to stabilize builds in vans against cracking or flaking and the best kind of wax based preservative products

kevin is forced to apologize after video six when a comments flamewar overflows between viewers into twitter (natural wax vs paraffin based)

kevin remains incredibly distraught and visibly barely keeping it together as his income depends on the van countertop community while his ex is out “collaborating” and his dog is in all her videos
