  1. Bein a big fan of Fran Blanche, I know her point of view and experiences, got to agree with many of them as well as yours: 1. There's no cash in YT monetization. Plus it's all too whimsical - no clear rules as to how it works. 2. YT's recommendation algorithms as well as copyright infringement automated detection are making the place a disaster. Of course no transparency here either. 3. If you want to make cash creating videos, go for the patronage model (Patreon, Ko-Fi etc.) but the economic crisis has forced many people, myself included, to reduce or withdraw their pledges, so while it's pretty viable in good times, don't count on that when it's going bad. 4. Personal experience time: since my channel is less than 200 subscribers, I'll stick with making videos when I feel I need to do, got time and energy to do the editing etc. and I'm not considering any investments of the cash I don't have to have it all too perfect. I'll keep doing my thing, repairing and making stuff, but running a channel is an off-shot.
