    I miss unmonetized youtube in general. Too many channels make it big and end up committing to youtube as a profession which leads to burn out or a significant drop in video quality.

    Youtube’s (and Facebook) revenue system incentivizes content that gets lots of views in a very short period of time, and way too many people get hooked after seeing the cash flow from a handful of good uploads.

    And the revenue provided is a minimized running cost for Google, YouTube takes home a fat 11 billion dollars a year in profit.

    Same. Jojis music is cool but its just not as entertaining as papa franku. Most people are only on youtube for the money these days and this type of content always gets demonetized.

    I do too, not really because it was amazing content but it was always a surprise. A guaranteed “What in the fu?”
