Sucks man i feel for you, I know a few others that are in this position. Diversification is always key. From my understand YouTube is Googles least performing platform, they are loosing money on it, couple that with advertisers pulling out and its only a matter of time before making money from YouTube just isn't via-able. I know creating quality vids is a lot of work. Some people are jaded thinking it is an "easy job". Best of luck to you brother!
