You're top three YouTube people that you watch

[dmccarty]

Since one can only post one video per post. Here is another channel that is interesting.

Then there are the variety of history programs that are good. Here is one,

The amount of information on Youtube is simply amazing. Was curious about boat hull design and did a search. Sure enough there is a naval architect with a channel that has some great information....

I don't know that I so much watch certain people regularly these days, but I used to watch a lot of Hickok45, FPSRussia, and some other entertaining and informative shooting channels. Kyle stopped making the FPSRussia videos a few years ago, and the Hickok45 videos have gotten too long and drawn out for me to watch on our limited bandwidth satellite internet.

There is one guy I check in on a fairly regular basis - Frog Leap Studios (Leo Moracchioli). He's a Norwegian recording studio owner & musician who makes entertaining heavy metal covers of other people's music. He releases a new video every week.

Other than that, I usually only go to YouTube when I'm looking for something specific, generally of the educational variety.

Leo is a blast and I'm not a fan of Heavy Metal. The man certainly has talent.

When did you tube start paying people? I thought it was just about someone having something interesting, they wanted to SHARE with the world. Making money at it, makes me question some of the content. I too could pretend to be an expert if it made me money. Some guy I watched alot, complained that Youtube had cut his revenue way back and he switched to Patreon (sp?).

I just appreciate to know what's what.

The revenue from the ads that run before and during YouTube videos is shared. YouTube keeps 45% of it, and the creator gets 55%. Seems like a fair deal to me since YouTube provides the platform, and manages the advertisers.

When we started, there were no lower limits to receiving ad revenue. That motivated me in a strange way. We used to get $0.05 or $0.18 per day. For some reason, I thought this was amazing, so I set a goal to get $1 per day, etc.

Nowadays, YouTube has an entry threshold of 1000 subscribers, and I believe 400,000 minutes of watch time in the last year. You don’t start earning revenue until you reach those milestones.
Really doesn’t affect your revenue much, as it takes lots of views / watchtime to amount to much. So, a creator might miss out on $100-$200 of total revenue due to the new rules.

Total watch time is important. It is used to determine which videos will be recommended by YouTube.
Having videos ‘suggested’ by YouTube is the magic which keeps creators going.
Unfortunately, the algorithm used to choose which videos get suggested is quite secretive, and changes frequently as YouTube tries to optimize the platform.


That is just scratching the surface, but hopefully that helps you to understand how this works.

I started a youtube channel ab out a month ago to document my Farm and Orchard build. It has proven to be more of a challenge than I thought. Editing takes work. A big learning curve.
1,000 subscribers to start making money? Hah. I have 4. But I only have 3 videos. My 16 year old daughter just spent an hour giving me creative advice .

My latest work.
Sprayer problems. - YouTube
