I use Adblock and get nasty screens from YT saying I am in violation of their policies by using one. I open the link in an incognito window and it plays with no ads.PSA: Get an adblocker like ABP or ublock, also get sponsor block. They block all ads on youtube aside from some static banners that truthfully aren't even obtrusive or annoying. Sponsor block automatically skips the "todays video is brought to you by..." hard-coded video sponsor segments. I haven't watched an ad on youtube in years.
Supposedly the average monthly income for girls on OF is $280 a month or something. That includes the [probably] thousands of new accounts daily, women in 3rd world shacks just trying to get a few dollars, and the $10mil/month accounts.
We could probably ask @CavCop approximately how much he made doing rumble and YT videos but the truth is no matter how good you are at making content, you're competing against billions of channels, YT algorithm, and whatever niche content you're putting out. Theres also some super-mega-huge channels that put out boring garbage that will consistently earn $10,000-$100,000 per video but they have a following and a schtick that can't seem to be beaten.
