It had been a while since I bothered to visit their streams because they seemed to constantly be going on about background stuff that the audience doesn't really need to know.
When I state that, I mean the business end of their videos. They'd constantly talk about things they were doing to try to monetize their channel. Then they'd spend another portion of the stream asking people to sign up. All before what we're supposed to be there for: to watch/listen to them disturb scammers at work.
YouTube has recently deemed their content to not meet the qualifications for monetisation, so they've tried to move their 'show', or whatever you call it, to other platforms and have set up a Patreon for people to donate.
I was sent a notification by YouTube today informing me of last night's stream. I had a listen. I could only last a few minutes because, again, it was all about the business end of their videos and not what I signed up for.
I'm all for people monetising their work. In this case, however, it feels like the monetisation is the priority ahead of the mission to disrupt scammers.
I believe there should be a balance between content and requests for donations. It feels very lopsided in this case. That's why I've made the decision to move on and find other people with similar mission statements who don't seem laser-focused on the Yankee Dollar.
