Whats up guys, i havent read all cause to long

I just want to mention that someone said something along the lines of " The channel is only getting bigger " and thats something thats not true at all.
Youtube is a nice plattform sure, there are blackhat and whitehat ways to make money but it does not matter how many subs/views peer day you get.
Your channel will DIE.
As new generations comes into youtube and watching videos, there will be always a shift, i remember when i was 16 years old watching all those youtubers that had 300-600k subs ( wich was the highest at that time )
and when i watch them now 90% of those people are gone, meaning they still have 2mill+ subs but they barely make 10k views peer vid.
Whatthebuck would be a perfect example of that.
Athenewins too, he never reached 1 million subs despite beeing on youtube since the very beginning.
Wich is still better then most of us do but not enough to make a comfy living off youtube.
Thats just because generations are shifting there view habbits, youtube chaning the algo etc.
Just remember even if you where to have a scuessfull youtube channel with millions upon millions of views, milk it down to the last freaking cent.
Someone here on this forum once said, save 50% invest 30% and live with 20%.
And thats the way to go.
And please remember, Adsense/MNC is not what gives a youtuber the money, infact i would say what a sucessfull youtuber makes with adsense is nothing compared to what they make in
Merchandise/Sponsored Videos.
I have a couple of friends that only have 20k subs and yet there banking 2k+ a month with that, 25% of that beeing adsense and the rest sponosered videos.
So dont really focus that much on adsense money alone, sure for the start it may be cool to get a bit money doing videos, but adsense money is just candy.
