I can remember when I earned over a $100 a month on a free web page, showing a public domain cartoon and some google ads back in the day.Today, before being "demonized" I did not earn that much in a year.My final payout was around £60 uk a few weeks back. We talk about YT problems -well here is one that has affected a lot of creators, AD BLOCKERS. I can view the YT platform all day and never see an advert,because I use an ad blocker. Some have cottoned on to this and now ask you to turn off your adblocker before you can view.Despite their image of sophistication Google are a little behind and will continue to lose revenue and blame small creators as "bad actors" "spammers" or whatever other title they wish to bestow upon us creators.
