I wanted to comment on this idea of 'professional YouTubers' and 'ad revenue' as it relates to content creators. Despite all of the problems around YouTube, advertising, and the algorithms which promote questionable content (top of mind I'm thinking about the NYT Rabbit Hole program which discusses the problem in broad strokes), YouTube has the lowest barrier for content creators to a "world" audience there has ever been for video content. In the not-too-distant past the only game in town was a limited number of television channels owned by national corporations acting as "gatekeepers" to their communications platform. And let's not forget that system is still in place today. You need to be part of that system just to get airtime on their platform. Not so with YouTube. Generally all advertising infuriates me. I have limited time and its constantly interrupted by advertising on these platforms. And that's a different, though not unrelated, problem. I like this guy's video. He wears a bow tie and yellow polka-dot socks. He does a silly dance when his "jet engine" momentary displays sustained thrust. It's a wonderful world of content. I'm not sure what are all the new problems, but I'm sure the problems of content are not with the professional YouTuber.
