As a viewer, you guys don't know what be going on behind the scenes. YouTube be tripping and they know it. That's why, we can't call them, unless, you are a high popular YouTuber. You can only contact them, via email. Sometimes, they don't respond, but, you may see a difference in what you was fussing about, later, on your channel. I can't see, how anybody would want to go full time, doing this, unless, they have other income. Ain't no damn way! Yo ass will be sitting up, being, flat belly broke messing with them.
Like, that one YouTuber. He got evicted, last year, depending on YouTube's income. Last year, YT made some drastic changes, with the subs and views, causing, a drop in pay, subs and views on everybody's channel. They tend to cater to the YouTubers with the most. I guess, it's because they bring in big money. Technically speaking, it makes sense. Also, they are always messing up with something. It's always, something. I will never quit my job, to this full time. Maybe, as a retiree. lol
I have to remember, the reasons, why I started YouTube. To track my hair growth, meet new people and have fun. Once, I got caught up with the "NUMBERS",( subs, views, favs and shares,) I found myself being frustrated on a regular basis. Then, when I started monetizing my videos, I really got obsessed. I never got caught up with being in the cliques, though. I'm a soloist and I ride alone.
For the most part, I am focusing on what I set out to do, from the beginning. This year, I am not going be tripping off YouTube and their inaccuracy with their numbers. As long as, my videos are being supported and liked by my viewers, that's all that matters:)
