Quotes (from this video)
  • as long as it's very clear that you were paid for that content as long as it's on screen as it's in the description you click the little button within a YouTube UI that pops up a thing that said this includes pay promotion I think that's fine
  • I think as long as you are fully transparent about being paid it pretty much doesn't matter what kind of content you're making
  • it's very hard to make these campaigns work
  • I started a patreon campaign after I can't remove the specifics but it was like maybe two two and a half years into making my junkets games channel
  • if you're gonna be spending $100 a year on board games then you know I like to think that it makes sense to throw one two five to ten dollars or whatever to people whose opinions you really value
