And that's how, whatever.

And that's how we were doing it for a long time.

Um, but now it seems to me that YouTube has been monkeying around with the, uh, the, the super chat, um, algorithm, I guess, where you get to the point where you've got like these long time super chat people who are trying to, you know, super chat you a hundred bucks, but they can't, it'll tell it, it'll, it'll limit them.

It won't allow them to do a hundred dollars super chat.

but it will allow them to do a $20 super chat.

And I'm like, is this something new?

And I saw I had actually my people in my audience.

I said, okay, let's, you know, throw out a $10 super chat, see if it goes through.

Throw out a $20.

$20 super chat.

See if it goes through.

Okay.

Throw out a hundred dollars super chat and it won't, it limits it at that point.

And I don't know if that's something that's new that's happened with, with YouTube recently, but again, it's an effort to get you to quit.

So they didn't delete your channel.

You just stopped because they don't want to, they don't want to make it worthwhile to do those things.

Hmm.

so now what i see is a lot of people um for instance like um we were just saying before like myron and fresh are doing like four hour podcasts as a sort of a a um subscription drive right same thing like uh pearl did the same thing they'll do these fairly fairly long form you know live streams in an effort to get people to sign up for subscriptions right because that's a profit model it's a revenue model but the thing is is like for a guy like me who's already an author

i can make more money with a with my sub stack than i can with my youtube because if i'm charging 9.99 a month for my sub stack and i'm getting 9.99 a month for my youtube and all i have to do is like two or three blog posts you know do some writing which is going to end up in my books that i can you know repurpose for other other things as well well i'm going to spend more time on sub stack than i will on youtube youtube is just outreach i just do it because the labor of love

And I don't, you know, if you give me $5, you give me a hundred dollars.
