Nick @ The Linux ExperimentJan 30, 2023

I finally wrote a new article on my website (and I plan to do that a lot more in the future).

As the 5 year anniversary of the channel approaches, I wanted to reflect on what it means to work as a full time content creator, how it happened, the good, and the bad. Enjoy the looooooong brain dump!

Five years of TLE: what is it like to work as a content creator

In a month, The Linux Experiment will be five years old. The channel, not me. So I wanted to write a lengthy brain dump of what it feels like to make a living as someone creating content. Here we go!

Thanks for advocating for Linux in such a nice to watch and understandable way.
As you have a Mastodon account and publish videos on peertube I guess you think about the privacy implications of YouTube and twitter.
Do you have a concept in mind of how your business model could work without the revenue from YouTube ads?
I guess that's a hard one to solve...

@JuleLe The only way I can see is user funding. Ads don’t pay much, so you don’t need as many paying viewers as you need ad-enabled views, but I can’t really see another way, apart from sponsors!
