> Back when I thought it might be a fun side hustle to make cool youtube videos (long ago put to bed), I thought about making videos of Ruxpin singing death metal and stuff. It's been years since it seemed like it was worthwhile to make Youtube videos... But should it? There used to be a time when people put this stuff on the internet for fun, not as a side huste or to "monetize" it... Maybe there's not so much money in this idea, but you can make people laugh for a few seconds.

The potential for cute stuff to 'go viral' is severely diminished thanks to high production value click-bait and mainstream content. Big Content will drown out anything that hasn't gained tons of views already by promotion through other channels.

  I think OP's point is who cares. We weren't worrying about viewer engagement metrics on Ebaumsworld.

    That's fair. Though, monetization aside, I myself feel less inclined to put significant effort into a joke or something if the expected audience is tiny.
