Making a living on "content" is really hard, subscribers or views don't turn directly into income.

At some point you're getting sponsors to pay for it and then it get complicated.

Yeah I hear you. My understanding is that on youtube you can make ~2k per 1M views with the default ads. I'm hoping that I can be funded by some combination of that and something like patreon/membership/merch. But we will see, it's something I've wanted to do for years and I am getting too old to put off longer.
