I like to think of YouTube as a video game. To win each level you need to acquire new skills. First you start posting.. Then you learn how to optimize the videos… Then you learn how to outsource the heavy work… Then you learn how to produce viral content… Each level brings new and better rewards. And idk about you… But I’d rather win the YouTube game and get paid a lot of money than spend all my waking hours killing creepers on Minecraft.
