Buying a monetized channel vs starting from scratch

Hey everyone. Simple question for you guys.

I'm in the animal niche and have racked up quite a few followers on tiktok and instagram. 10k+ on insta and 150k+ on tiktok.

Looking to expand to YouTube! Have a couple ideas of the kind of videos I want to put on there. One idea involves using a couple different channels.

So with that said, should I look into buying channels with AdSense already on there, or grow them from the bottom up? Appreciate y'alls input.

(Btw searched the forum and couldn't find this exact topic. Just looking for your experiences)

Grow from the bottom up. Buying a monetized channel can be really risky because the owner can pull it back, the channel can get demonetized if it was botted with crap quality subs/views (most of the are), plus you dont know the history of the channel. It's better to have a channel where you know each subscriber is actually subscribed for your content and actually enjoys your content. Plus, if you already have a following just bring that audience to your new account

Grow from the bottom dude!

Animal niche is crazy. You can take a look at Paul cuffaro, blake exotic, predatory fins they are some of the best animal channel so far.

Try to grow them naturally with your followers and banks!

Buying is easy and fast but if you are not sure you are going to make money, I'd say it's better to start from scratch. If you have the time, at least you will learn a lot during the process and in the end, you can always buy another channel.
