It’s part of a bit of a wide reaching effort to make it possible for me to get all my income from open source work and free ventures. I’m about 25% of the way there. And quick note on YouTube CPMs, they vary a lot by genre. Some of the more popular genres are on the lower end of that spectrum (afaict, based on limited testing). It’s tough because I have a chronic illness and also support a family of five (SAHM, but it seems all parents have been stay at home lately). But as cringey as many in the HN audience may find it, marketing is actually vital to any endeavors success. I try to make it so my work is better than the title suggests, but don’t always succeed. I literally unplugged my MBP and replaced it with a Pi 4 for a day, but that is apparently not literal enough to justify the title ;-)
