I think you do better on Tiktok cause ya content more accessible and relatable over there, I remember back when you posted that video over in the fashion sxn it was a good watch but it was also very dense

Who?

bruh is there even a way to monetize tik tok vids? if not you need to find some sort of sponsorship or start a podcast with a patreon link

otherwise all your getting is social clout and being deprived of rightful revenue

Tiktok started paying niggas a lil while ago

Bru only has 10 videos expects to be a YouTube star

is it a fair royalty rate though?

Beats tf outta me lol

H3h3. Look it up. Theyre pretty big

between two and four cents per 1,000 views. About what musicians on spotify make

It's just what it is I try to be as quick as possible with it of course!
It's just the nature of video essays too though, I like being well researched I don't want to come across like I don't know what I'm talking about and it's important to have evidence to back it up. Especially if I'm making higher concept thesis projects like the disney video

I think part of it too is my macbook might just be getting old, but a lot of it really is green screening, editing audio, editing clips, overlays. All that stuff takes time the quickest turn around I've seen was the Halo video which only took like maybe 1 week from start to finish but I also think it's the last argumentative.

Like my current 3 videos I'm work on are all gonna need that level of work.

Also found this: "On average, a creator with half a million followers or views can earn up to $450 a month."

LOL so f***ed up

How did they start out? The second oldest video on channel has pewdiepie.

500k views is nothing lol

idk i dont use that s***

Well the thing is I watch dense youtube videos, there's a market for it and that's what I'm asking, like why is it so up hill for me rn? Like people are out here making 8 hour videos and s***, like I said my upload rate is about on par for most of video essay youtube, i've seen entire years go by between uploads.

Like i deadass have this video in another tab:
:​ :​

No idea bruh

🤣🤣

Leafy-style reaction videos from 2015ish when edgy humor was really big

Stick to a coherent theme and your thumbnails need a uniform design throughout to pique interest

Like idk maybe I'm not picking the right topics who knows? But also half a Million on video about veggie tales?

Maybe it's because I've gotten so used to the idea of the whole "like, comment, subscribe & share" mindset that YouTube has pushed on its creators for years, but I just find it so odd how Tik Tok goes out of its way to promote doing the exact opposite. Which probably also could explain why most Tik Tok-ers can't seem to cross-platform.

Unlike YouTube, that pretty much strive off of your mom sharing a clip of Cardi B doing carpool karaoke with James Cordon on Facebook. It almost feels like Tik Tok deliberately wants to take away any kind of leverage that the content creator has and make it so that you can ONLY make a living on THEIR platform.

And in that regard, you feeling like it might be race related might not be that much of a reach. Because the only kind of creators that this doesn't seem to effect are (for lack of better phrasing) "regular celebrities" (think like Will Smith or Gordon Ramsay), or super popular Tik Tok stars with a mega following... The vast majority of which are white.

Honestly idk, you might need to overhaul your style, your talking points are solid and you’ve already proven that you likeable over on Tiktok, but I have no idea what’s holding you back if y’all output is the same

I get you on the wiki thing

IMO the cuts are a little too frantic, when it goes from one size to another and sometimes there's a picture or scene going on its very hard to concentrate on whatever you're talking about and almost becomes background chatter. Especially if you're in the frame while a clip is playing, like where should I be concentrating?

Having your face in there is fine but you gotta stop editing it so often. The aesthetic you're going for is already pretty jarring, I don't need you going from just the corner to the whole frame so often, for example between 9 to 10 mins in the Halloween video you switch it up like four times.

I think you might just need to let some scenes play out and make sure it's directly correlated to the point you're making. Your point about Mike doing the same thing for 40 years could've been made more effective by actually just showing that.
