Looks like it. Considering that she would have needed to increase her views by 3 orders of magnitude to scratch out $100/month from them. She should have did affiliate marketing & patreon.

  It's funny how often that's a bad solution to a problem. Not always mind you ... but mostly.

    She did get some wider attention to a problem that has been discussed inside the YouTube community before. While that's not something I'd want to die for, she may have reached her goal.

      Well, she didn't want to die for that either, just to kill for it.

    If violence isn't solving your problem, it just means you're not using enough of it.

> She should have did affiliate marketing This is the modern version of "as seen on TV" ads, I've started unsubscribing to anyone that does it regularly. Advertising intermixed with content is the worst form of advertising.

  The only channel I follow that does it regularly is Spectre Sound Studios, and I accept it because the services Glenn pimps are actually really damn good. And he makes it very clear that it's a paid interlude, not part of the actual content.

    >And he makes it very clear that it's a paid interlude, not part of the actual content. I have to say that with the content creators I follow, that is the norm rather than the exception. There is always a clear delineation between advertisement and the content, even if the advertisement is embedded in the content (i.e native advertising).

      Much more acceptable and less jarring that having Red Lobster or Taco Bell scream at me for 5 seconds before a relaxing music video.

  Some channels do it acceptably. CGP Grey comes to mind, usually an ad for a service at the end of the video the advertiser has effectively funded. It's far worse when people do it without saying, ie product placement. Can't think of any good examples since people usually get away with it, although the obvious blatant example would be any of the Jenner's on Instagram which got into issues for not reporting paid endorsements IIRC.

If the ads are embedded in the video, that's a guarantee that I will stop coming back.
