Is it just me, or is it impossible to earn any money early on.

Based on my current run, (typing this thread while actually playing the game)

i lose 7 dollars every day, no matter what.
I need about 500 - 600 views to even get 1 dollar. Sometimes even at 600 you get 0
Videos lose interest and no one views .. therefore no money.

4 Videos a day, unless that changes later on at higher levels ??
out of the 4 maybe i'd earn 2 dollars. still means im losing 5 dollars on this rent thing.

Is there a way to actually play this or is it broken .. you cant milk a video for everything it has because that gives you no views, which gives you nothing. and then you'd lose the 7 dollars for doing nothing.

Unless youre meant to constantly cycle though the games, in which i have done at least all the simple games. Where the game then forces you to make another video to "end" it, which is then another dud video if you get no views.

At the time of this small rant, its Day 40 and im in the minus figures. at -$2 ... which nows shows i have 0 rent to pay. Is this the pattern that will follow? Because even at 585 views i get nothing.
You also have no idea which game actually has any interest in, because then youre making videos that you already own of games, you end up gambling and wasting 2 videos of the day, due to the fact you have no idea it would be 0% ..

Another thing ive also noticed, you cant re-record a game youve bought? Specifically the single player games? I bought TubeTycoon, for 20 dolalrs then i stopped the videos for that because it lost interest and i wasnt getting anything. Now its not letting me record again because i dont have $20?

By day 47 of 1 week free rent, i managed to earn 29 dolalrs instantly slugged with 7 dollars rent again and my balance is now again at 22. What can i do ... nothing. New games are still too expensive .. I still cant record Tube Tycoon because it says "recorded" is it a one time thing? All i can do is constantly recycle the old free simple games till i inevitably run out of money again.

As it turns out if you go broke the second time. The game ends and you have to start from scratch ... which i guess makes sense. but its still really hard to make money. You dont really make anything till you have at least 4k subs. Even then its mainly just breaking even daily or maybe a 1-2 dollar profit.

Well, you're playing a youtube simulator. So you got to handle your money well and dont just buy games blindly. Also mix games and vlogs to keep interest balanced and you won't drop below 250T from your start capital.

Yeh, well when the interest dropped for the gaming video and the vlog and with the daily vlog, by then i kind of just went with it to see how you would last, plus getting the achievement.

The part about not being able to record a single player game again after initial purchase though im not sure if that is a bug or intended.

I didn't drop beneath 200 at the start of the game? Just don't buy anything and stick to vlogs once you get them, that's my advice.

I'll try that and take it slow and try to milk a game till it gets 0%
but it would be nice if at least the games list has an interest bar, I mean it seems like such a waste to buy a game only to find out there is no interest in it.

So following this tip in general and more on vlogs instead of games, apart from opening up the basic one for extra area to make videos, i am technically making money and made it to day 60 ..

But im not sure what ive done differently, because last time by day 45 i had over 4k subs while now ive only reached 3.3k.

Yea, 500 view's the odd time gives me 1 dollar. Honestly annoying.
