Mandatory Thank You Post For My Patrons And A Message To Content Creators (Patreon)

So, let's get the elephant out of the room. My Google adsense earnings have been SEVERALLY cut. Adsense earnings were honestly bad for me already, but the recent situation with the lack of advertisers on Youtube has drastically my earnings by 20%. So...why am I not freaking out about it? Believe or not, my philosophy with life is try to be prepared ahead of time as much as possible. Though one of the reasons why I started the Patreon is to take care of unexpected expenses that came up last year, I knew I had to start it ages ago since adsense earnings is not enough in this day and age. I'm also looking into more than one sources of income since situations like this Youtube thing could arise, which is also way I will begin selling the Tshirts in June which will designed by my friend, Sir Pelo. 

So why did I type out this post if this Youtube situation isn't really hurting me? I want to get two points across for this post. First off, I want to thank my all of my Patrons for supporting me. If it wasn't for you guys, then I honestly wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be able to commission various actors in the past and actors that I'm planning on commissioning in the future. So, if you're a Patron reading this, just know that regardless of your pledge amount, you have seriously helped me. THANK YOU. Pat yourselves on the back. You deserve it.

The second point I want to talk about is for content creators. If you're an aspiring content creator, DO NOT SOLEY DEPEND ON YOUTUBE ADS. I think the reason why a lot of Youtube creators are freaking out is because a lot of them solely relied on Youtube ads. Now that income source has disappeared, their livelihoods are endangered. Look into selling Tshirts, getting Sponsorships, Patreon. Just do your best to obtain another source of income! Also, DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING GREEDY FOR IT! Do you think various millionaires or billionaires have one source of income? No. They have various sources of money coming in so that way they can still support themselves if one of them disappear. Just...don't be scummy about it. Do it honestly and honorably.

Anyway, that's all I got to say. To any Youtube Content Creators reading this, hang in there. Youtube is not over yet. With that said, thank you guys for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful day or night! See ya!
