  1. regarding around 7:00 and Peter Santenello's channel was a little part of me making a channel, sorta. I recognized Peter as being very much like me in some ways and naturally I was subscribed. The thing is, I really did see Peter make 100 long-form videos for 2 years for free and I know they were good because he legit liked this, he's just himself wanting to know, he has to be a wanderer and curious and find out what's really going on. You can't fake that (not often). IF he ever makes money its a 'side-effect' and repays a tremendous grind. I'm still stunned at how many hours I put into my crappy little homemade walkabout phone grab videos! His videos require remarkable organization, concentration and time! As the hustler points out - nobody tells the 15 year olds this part. Nobody tells them you need to work for free (actually, pay into it) for years of grinding and work and MAYBE you'll get a viral video or monetized channel. I have 100 teenage girls who are convinced they make a few videos dancing around and youtube and tiktok will be their new lucrative career. They are sure if I have a video with 3000 views (which stuns me quite frankly) but they believe I made $3000 USD from that video for some reason lol. On the upside, I like and admire the youth for trying to get creative, trying to think of ways to vlog something unique or different or show and explain some corner of their world. It's just that they need to know that cannot replace a job, work, I mean like actual work-work jobs and climbing the ladder and wages and so on.
