2018-02-28 - ‘Success’ on YouTube Still Means a Life of Poverty
Season 3 - Episode 112 - 02-28-2018
quote from Bloomberg: Do your children dream of YouTube stardom? Do them a favor: Crush that ambition now. !!! Casey strongly disagree. The article is not bad, with objective data. 96.5 percent of those people trying won't be above poverty line in the US. It is challenging. But the article is based on the fact that you assume that you want to be a youtuber only to make money. Casey thinks that's ridiculous. It's insulting to the platform. Of course YouTube is seen as a cash register, but most famous YouTubers have a strong creative motivation. While being on this topic Casey wants to talk about the new monetization scheme (1k subscribers, 40,000 hours of view...). Casey hates what it says to people starting and having a small channel. It means "your content doesn't have money value". But it doesn't mean your content doesn't have value. But it has to start somewhere. The opportunity is still there. Peter McKinnon channel started 13 or 14 month ago and he now has more than 1 million subscribers. He managed to bring attention to his channel. It is harder now than before, but it is still easier today than tomorrow. "The world of creativity needs you". More quotes like "Winners never quit, and quitters never win", "It always seems impossible until it's done", "Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about", "Champions keep playing until they get it right", "Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting", "Whatever you do, do with all your might", "Do or do not, there is no try" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyVdZrL3Sbo
