I feel extremely grateful today. In just 24 hours, my new video on the Ukraine war has had 9000 views.

I am not yet able to make a living on YouTube — far from it — but seeing the channel grow gives me a lot of hope for the future.

Thank you so much to everyone who shared, liked, and watched my content. You have made an important difference for me. ♥️

@randahl the downside is that YouTube is owned by US fascists... It's hard to say on one hand 'let's boycott the US' and be happy being fed by them... Isn't there a way, a platform you could make money from without feeding the beast?

@thierry_van_kerm not being all too impressed with YouTube being owned by Google, I did some thorough research and tested out a number of services. One option was Nebula, but they require that your content is recommended by an existing Nebula content creator. Then there is PeerTube, which quite many like, but they do not have a monetisation model.

So far I have put my videos on Patreon (also American), and later this year I will test Spotify Video which is Swedish.

@randahl what about substrack? Also American but people like Robert Reich use it to monetise their content...
@thierry_van_kerm I should definitely check that out. Thank you for reminding me.
@randahl substack not substrack as I mentioned. Bloody corrector 🙂
