think that if you have the personality for it and something unique to talk about, i dont think that its that unlikelly. Especially if the target is $20 a day.
It is possible, but not likely. And even if you can succeed, it usually takes months or often years to build up to $20/day.
Until you build a youtube channel up to 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time, you are not even eligible to apply to be in the youtube payment program.

There is a survivor bias to big YouTuber. All of the ones who make it to 10,000 subscribers are already beating one in a million odds. It’s a total longshot. That’s why you need to go into it not caring about money. Because it’s super unlikely, like winning the lottery unlikely, that you will make any money at all.

Yup. I went to school with somebody who was big into youtubing, he had professional Sony software for editing snd everything. The guy only had at most 20 subscribers and he’d been doing it for a while.

I dont know. Personally i am pretty boring. Made it to 2 x $50 on twitch before i chose to delete my account. I did put in an effort but to be fair i wouldn’t watch myself. I dont even watch others steam!
If you’ve got it in you and kind of have a feeling for what people want (best to look at what you prefers and give them that) then I’d say the odds are a lot better than winning the lottery
