It also could go to nothing any year, as audiences move on or a youtube algorithm change murders his watchtime (Patreon a little less risky here but it could shrink as watchtime/new audience shrinks).
- TheRealPomax 4y agoThe thing to remember is that it's a two-way door: current audiences move on, but we keep making more humans, and they keep "discovering" what youtube recommends to them, so realistically the threat is "leveling out" rather than "losing viewers" if you run a quality channel that isn't built on slagging others off. Plus, we're already seeing alternatives (or rather, in-parallels) becoming quite established, most notably Floatplane and Nebula as created-by-youtuber(s)-who-wanted-an-off-platform-alternative.
- MrDunham 4y agoThis is an important point… I purchased a website about 3D printing at the beginning of this year and have been steadily improving the content quality and posts… Only for a recent Google update to obliterate 90% of my traffic overnight. Two months later it’s starting to recover but that’s not the bedrock of a business you’d like to build upon.
