Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

Basically you have 'free' platforms such as YouTube (who are now trying to force you to pay to watch with their Premium Ad-free version) and then you get Pay-per-view type platforms.
Only Fans tends to be 'X' rated content where you pay a monthly subscription to see mainly girls shoving things in places you wouldn't necessarily find them or watching them perform acts that you don't normally see at Evensong.
Patreon is more like YouTube used to be as it is far less restricted, not driven by an algorithm or an agenda.
Some channels charge per video, most charge per month (something like a fiver or upwards depending on your desired level of support)
Sometimes it just means you get to watch the video a few days earlier than YouTube (I don't understand the appeal of that) or mostly it means you get regular uploads and exclusive videos you don't get to see on YouTube. People pay for Netflix, Amazon and YouTube now so it's not much different except its content that you're interested in.
Simple as that really.

Thank you……

I was having a bit of a Google, as you suggested, but haven’t found your content under “Mucker”. (That is on Patreon…. I have no desire to find your OnlyFans page, I’m afraid.)

Are you using a different name as a creator?

I joked earlier up the thread about an agri YouTuber “kettle over the pub“ throwing competition. Like on The Office.

see Ollyblogs is now getting the guys trained up on the bouncy eggs over the shed.

@Mucker4890 whats your training regime or are you keeping that under your hat?

I pay for YouTube premium and I think for the same price as 3 pints a month it's not bad value. I can watch all the content I want whenever I want without having to endure any adverts. I have a broad range of interests and there's probably 10 or more channels I watch on a weekly basis. If they all move to Patreon at £5 a channel my monthly bill will be over £50 a month!
I don't understand the restrictions and agenda you imply that YouTube are imposing? Is that on viewers or content creators?
There seems to be plenty of YouTubers doing very well out of the job.

Yeah, i think some of the patreon pushers, of which many of the youtube channels I watch have, dont realise that their subscriptions come close to a Netflix subscription which provides endless crap to watch versus a 15 min amateur vid per week. Not bashing them, some of their content is great, but there comes a limit in what people can afford, and patreon is right at it

YouTube want you to watch what THEY want you to watch - they shadowban and hide channels that don't fit in with their 'ideals' and views.
In turn they push creators to make content that THEY want you to promote.
It's well known and now well proven.
If you're happy to roll over and take what they give, good luck to you but myself and many others aren't.
I'll use their platform for my own means, the same way as I use Patreon.

I also do YT premium don’t watch much if any normal TV now much better on YT for actually finding interesting stuff to watch !
I have 2-3 subscriptions on Patreon they are £1-£5 a month and I’m picky about who I will pay to subscribe to but those I do give you extra content not seen elsewhere and other perks like meet ups and such for subscribers too !
It’s horses for courses as they say !

I can and will only go on the facts that I have and even tonight I've had a comment saying that a follower has been unsubscribed 3 times now. Onelonelyfarmer had to search for my channel last week several times despite being a subbed follower for years.
Others however (the majority) have no issue.
If you speak out against groups such as Stop Oil, your video will fall off the radar.
Free speech apparently...

The only way I've found, if using an android whatever, is to use newpipe where your subscriptions are local to the device, so they cant unsubscribe you. Though Warren at Western truck and tractor repair did disappear for a while (great mechanic channel, similar opinions of the youtube Borg).

Wes makes good honest stuff, a decent man

Free speech is only inside our heads

Like I say, it is what it is, YouTube have never been a help, always a burden but to me that's a challenge and I've never relied on their ad revenue as a main stream of income and used it instead to support the collie rescue plus a couple of other worthy causes.
These days it doesn't pay like it used to so I've created the Patreon channel to increase the collie rescue funding and funnily enough, the larger it grows, the more I can push the YouTube channel so all is good.
The truth is these platforms erode more and more of our freedoms despite what they're have you believe and I just enjoy kicking back and not bowing down to them.

YouTube is a strange place, I have a small channel varied content but a lot of machinery and such content, I have one video that’s got 90000 views yet I have many that are under 150 views and only 400 subscribers, total hit and miss as to what will get shown to others and what won’t !

I applaud you for sticking it to them, but will agree with those that dont go the patreon route. The pie gets sliced very thinly

I find the idea of YT premium a bit off putting really. They are pushing it hard now, to the point that watching regular YT is almost unbearable with the amount of ads. Premium feels a bit to me like they have all the creators doing the work for them and they are reaping the reward for it. Not that they weren't before with ads of course, but how little of the money from this premium service actually makes it to creators?

Install newpipe on your phone, no ads
Google were always an ads company, to molest youtube for that ends was inevitable
