About to plan to create a video series about FreeBSD to use as a Desktop.

I watched:
  • all of How to create a bootable FreeBSD installer USB (391 views, less than five minutes)
  • fractions of three of his longer videos

I'll watch more of his stuff, I don't know when.

RoboNuggie

Looking at RoboNuggie’s stats, at present his channel has 987K views and 391 videos. …

I understand why he's popular (the accent, and so on), but I no longer watch his stuff.

My point was more that most youtubers don't make any money or even minimum wage/hour but they still do it because they love making videos as they have something to say or teach or show or make. The OP should absolutely do what he wants and ignore all the negative comments here! He won't be making much or any money but he will be learning a new skill that can come in handy in other ways + much less friction for his next video making adventure! The followup was just to provide some actual earning data for one youtuber.

Sometimes ppl just ignore sober advice and dive in with unrealistic expectations of what will happen afterwards. If OP goes into video making without the expectation of making money - then the Forums can be quite helpful.

However, if OP expects to make money - like serious money, not the pennies that Youtube brass is willing to toss on the street for some talented performers - then Youtube and FreeBSD Forums are not the best places for that.

I think that this kind of distinction is a difference-maker here.
