What's your opinion on YouTube/Youtubers?

[Roran]

From the site itself to the people on it, what do you think about it?

[𝓫𝓾𝓷𝓷𝓲𝓮]

It's okay. Not practical for a job, though.

Do you use soundcloud or spotify too?
Although those are a lot more limited in terms of music choices.

I do use Spotify when I'm on the go. I just prefer Youtube when I'm at my computer, and I enjoy the videos sometimes. :)

Should be seen as a hobby to promote yourself not a job

Why not? There are plenty of youtubers raking in the dollars. It's something like 10,000 views makes on average $300. A video with 1 million views makes $30,000. If you have good content and a lot of views you can do quite well for yourself. You have yourself a homerun video with 10s of millions of views and you make a ton of money. Idubbbz had some content cop videos with like 15 million views...that's a hell of a paycheck.

In general i'd agree with you that for the common person it's not a practical job, but there are plenty of people that do just fine.

It's not stable at all. Sure, you can rake in dough for videos, but with what's been happening now (which was completely inevitable), YTers are panicking because guess what? Their ad rev. has been cut nearly 90%. YT picks and chooses what is considered "ad-friendly", and even then, you have to be pretty big in order to even make any sort of money through the big corp ads, which aren't on YT anymore since they pulled out. 10,000 views =/= $300 at all in most cases.
There are people who have left their jobs in order to pursue YT and continue with it, but now YT is going down the drain in regards to ad rev. and those people are stuck in a rut.
Those who still have their second job are smart.
It's not a practical job as in it's not a practical full time job. Do it as a side job.

I'm not too worried because if it ever got really that bad that creators left then Youtube would lose even more money. Second, creators often sell merchandise which helps supplement their income. Third, Patreon. A lot of youtube creators are using Patreon which means they can keep putting out videos without having to fret about Youtube ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ them over. Smaller youtube people will definitely be hurt but the big time people that carry Youtube anyway won't be hit too hard...

Wait a minute, you're telling me that farting out my opinion into the void and calling it "fact" doesn't make it fact?

Yeah YT would definitely lose more money, which is why they're trying hard to put ads back on, but corps are like HMMMM NAH.
Creators DO sell merchandise, but you also need to have a starting base for that. However, not all do. In fact, out of 150 people I'm subscribed to, only a handful of them sell merchandise. Not good, right? It also depends on their demographic, if they have a demographic of younger kids, but they aren't "YT ad friendly" those kids aren't going to buy merchandise that may also not be "ad friendly".
Yup, smaller YTers would be hurt big time, which is why I'm saying it's not a very practical full time job. YT's going down the drain right now for ad money, so it's better off to stay with a more stable job.
We're agreeing on a buncha points, but we're on two different sides. Lol.

Edit: There are some "ad friendly" versions of merch, like Philly D or whatever, but from knowing the parents of kids who watch YT religiously and want to buy merch, their parents go: "Hah! No." Good Mythical Morning is a good example of really good "ad-friendly" merch, but they're also an "ad-friendly" channel, so there's not a whole lot of worry. Philly D has censored and uncesored versions of merch, which his subscribers buy because of the demographic he has. They have their own money to spend. He's not "ad-friendly", so he makes up for the money loss with the merch.

I don't mind YouTube or YouTubers. There are lots of helpful tutorials, interesting documentaries, helpful reviews, ect on YouTube.

What I hate is the whole "let's play" scene. Why would anyone want to watch other people play a video game? To me it's like getting a new bike as a kid. Then going out and watching your friend ride it.

Why watch most sports (football, tennis, etc etc) when you can do them yourself?

I'm fine with them usually this is how I find games that interest me or I can't afford
