I know this is probably secondary to the overall point of the article, but since I saw this bit: > "...the most significant consequence of YouTube’s revenue sharing has been the democratization of the job of internet content creator. Every month, we deposit money into the accounts of millions of creators around the world. That money is what helps a streampunk get his or her start." I put ads on a few goofy videos I made years ago and shared. Figured it was worth a try, even if only for some beer money. To date, I've made...just under $40. Now, granted, I haven't even tried to do any sort of promotion or followups or any of the things you need to do in order to build and grow a channel, so that's fine. The part that sucks is that I can't even cash it out unless I've made at least $100. I'd even be happy if they only paid cash out over $100 but let me transfer lower amounts to Google Play credit. At least it would give me some "play money" to buy apps or fund subscriptions.
