Ok cool but the vinegar leg is on the right
hi
🙏
Do you get paid more from CZcams or Spotify?
I would generally adapt my consumption of your content accordingly.
You say that you're not generating revenue outside of the partner program, or at least less so.
This isn't really true, though. CZcams places ads on and monetizes videos outside of the partner program and even when people mark a video as not for monetization. I have a second channel where I just upload an old MMO's soundtrack and it has ads on it despite not even being 50% qualified for partnership (not that I would with that kind of channel). A two-and-a-half minute song will have before and after ads as well as at least 2 midroll ads nowadays. I get ads when I pull up my old TF2 clips I have unlisted on this channel.
Your statement that they don't "in theory" put ads on such videos is entirely counter to what youtube directly states in their ad policy. Further, it's known that partner review is not usually done by humans. People already manipulate that system. It's one of the contributing factors to the weird Elsegate stuff.
In fact, as I watched this video on my TV (rather than my usual place of my desktop) or any of your other videos, I get midroll ads.
You are nuts doing all of this yourself. Truly can’t imagine the workload of researching, interviewing, writing, shooting, editing, and publishing two videos per week (with sponsorships!) without help. There are lots of options other than hiring a buddy. Consider what you could do with your editing time and whether it might offset the additional cost of having an editor ;)
Grady! I love your channel. Remind me to hit your "like" button at the beginning of your videos. I am really bad about that.....
Cool to see you here! I find the world of CZcams fascinating, because solo creators can have multiple millions of subscribers, yet in the same universe a multi-channel, 30+ employee media enterprise (Linus Tech Tips and the other channels of LMG) also exists.
Another thought is that you could identify the Strengths that you bring to your channel and offer to provide those strengths to other creators who are just getting started or new. For example, if you like editing scripts to make them punchy (I believe this is one of Adam's strengths given his background at NPR) then you could provide that as a service to a team of young youtubers, and build small media network in that way. In this way, you get to do the work you enjoy doing while supporting a team of creators, or a community of creators.
Greatest crossover of all time
@@meltingtomato Try 80+ employee!!
I watch a lot of CZcams.... a LOT.
This is the first time anybody has honestly explained how it works for them.
We, the people, ARE curious.
Thankyou, Adam.
Dave of EEVblog has also done several video deep dives into being a YT content creator.
Another great podcast, probably one of the best ones. I'm really impressed with how good your content is getting Adam, I hope we both continue to get all the things we want out of your content for a long time!
This channel is one of my favorite ever. It gives me an actual scientific understanding of foods which helps me build a foundation of knowledge.
Adam, I am a chemist and a professional exterminator. If you would like to make a video on pesticides (or if you would like to have insider knowledge on insecticides/herbicides so that you can garden safer and easier) I would love the opportunity to consult with you for any of your videos. Of course it would be completely free- I just want to give support to the work you do.
As a chemist myself, I share your opinion.
It would be great if Adam makes a video about agrochemicals
Email him!
I think you guys would like the content a lot. This kind of knowledge helps keep you safe but also gives you power to do some amazing things.
@@TrulyZer0 I'll do that
Some CZcamsrs allow so many mid-roll ads that it's hard to follow the video. This ultimately hurts the creators, as people will be driven away.
I'm so glad you produce continuous episodes - thank you.
Thank you, Adam. This video is very insightful. I learned and realized a lot.
This is obviously a scam. Do not reply. This user has been reported.

Hi ninong
Whoa podcast listener/viewer din pala ni Adam c ninong.
@@karu6111 nga eh. nakaktuwa. Kaya pala medyo same cooking style nila (convenience/practicality>>>strictly following recipes)
No wonder your channel is different than the other food channels. Your experience as a journalist, a uni professor etc reflects on your channel content (or the other way round 😎) Thank you. Keep up the good work.
"Assume that everything you have could disappear overnight." I have lived through this twice. Life was beautiful and I felt unstoppable. Then suddenly it was all gone.
Working on my 3rd career now.
Damn. The part where you started to warn about the eventual collapse of every good thing was really eye opening. A great episode, even of it was on the more serious tone compared to most of your content.
Good things tend to become bad over time. The music industry is a prime example.
When I was little, rock stars were cool and people liked labes with good music.
Then they started to influence politics, criminalize internet users and demand money even from people who did not consume. Of course, I stopped giving them money - as many others did. Now I only buy albums of little bands that I like and that do self-publishing.
I respect you alot on how you're always honest, straightforward and giving good insight on everything! Been here since the cutting board vid lol never missed a vid/any section of your vids
Adam i cant thank you enough for how humble and honest you are when it comes to everything. I still watch your whetstone sharpening guide every time I wanna sharpen a knife or when I recommend it to anyone.
I knew Adam's time in radio was part of his butter smooth ad transitions. The feels like a piece I didn't know I was missing.
Gotta earn those ads
The part about watching as the economies that supported things we loved "broke like waves against the cliffs of the internet" brought me to tears. I'm on the trailing edge boomer / gen x cusp, and I miss neighborhood bookstores so much.
Ruth, if you are ever in Boulder, Colorado, I'd point you to the Trident Booksellers & Cafe. There are so few left that are like it.
Thanks!
The real problem I see with CZcams mid roll ads is that it appears they don’t allow the content creator to put a marker in the video as to when to insert those ads. They wouldn’t be nearly as aggravating if they didn’t suddenly pop up midsentence sometimes even mid-word. If content creators could say this is a place for an ad because a thought is done, a chapter is done, whatever the case may be they would be more feasible. Can you imagine watching a television program and having the networks randomly insert ads in the middle of the program it would be infuriating.
You can put the mid roll ad wherever you want. A channel I watch, redlettermedia, does this. They edit their videos in such a way that the mid roll ad is at the natural end of a bit, joke, or point they’re making in the video, and they surround it with a couple of seconds of silence and a black screen.
I’m pretty sure that’s the case, anyway. I’ve had premium for awhile, so I could be misremembering.
They do allow custom midroll placement though
@@bopete3204 are you sure? I'm not doubting you I'm just trying to be sure if you can choose what minute + second an ad starts
@@bopete3204 It seems odd that more creators don’t use that feature. I have virtually never seen a mid roll ad that’s been strategically placed. They are almost always mid-sentence, mid-Word, basically the most inconvenient place they could possibly be and irritating as hell.
@@pjschmid2251 I not sure every youtuber has access to every feature. I heard its based on revenue.
Hey Adam, your Grandma Ragusea was right! Those old pennies are actual copper, where the new ones are not. Check out the spot price for copper. The copper in pennies eventually turned out to be worth more than a penny, so now we get copper coating little thicker than paint.
I can't agree more on the state of journalism these days. Insidious threats from those calling themselves journalists while in reality functioning as nothing more than political mouthpieces have come to fruition.
Thank you for your continuing excellent content.
A pure copper penny is worth more than one cent but not much more. It's about three cents. A coffee can of pure copper pennies still wouldn't be worth much.
I really appreciate you talking so honestly about money, Adam! Was really interesting to listen to. I don't think you're getting an unreasonable amount, given the fragility and volatility of CZcams. There are hundreds and thousands of channels with millions of subscribers, but
I love my Sunday afternoons, relaxing after my long runs with these podcasts. This one was especially great. I enjoy your point of view on a lot of things. I feel like I always learn something. I appreciate you being here and am glad you are able to provide your family with a quality existence by doing so. I also hope you aren't missing too much time with your family while being distracted by your job. It's a hard balance to achieve for a lot of us, no matter the job.
Thanks a lot for giving us such in depth and interesting insight in the CZcams economy and the recent history and developments of journalism and the music industry. It's the first time I start to understand what is going on there.
By the way I absolutely love the elegant way you transition from your main content into ads by linking them to aspects of your content - really a brilliant, unique and very entertaining way of embedding ads.
Authoritative and utterly engrossing. I have loved your videos on CZcams since the start of the pandemic. This is the analysis that I needed to properly understand and appreciate why you're doing it. It also justifies me watching the ads because I get the joy of your videos after a hard day's work and knowing my time is supporting you (and the other people I watch regularly).
This was one of the best videos I've seen, period. Incredibly informative and answered questions my wife and I have been pondering for years. Thank you so much.
your ads are the best on youtube, always the smoothest well-thought-out transitions
Adam, thanks for explaining the mechanics and economics of managing a CZcams channel. Enlightening and informative hearing of the ups and downs positive and negative aspects. Your hard work and dedication is being rewarded, congratulations. I’ve been pondering starting a CZcams channel and this podcast video has been immensely helpful. Thanks.
Wow. My first full viewing of one of your podcasts. Thank you for your hard work. It was very helpful. I am 70 and have been a professional entertainer playing music for people all of my life. You nailed it.
Adam you’re my fav CZcamsr not for your cooking content but for your personality. You’re incredibly lucky to have such a confident and alluring personality.
I’ve been watching you for a couple of years. I am amazed how fast your channel has grown. Congrats Adam!
Wow, so real to hear you talk about how much your life has changed over the years and the effort some of those struggles took to overcome. I'm glad to be a fan and to hear more your life. I can't imagine the stress you must've felt while trying to provide for your family while deciding whether the transition to youtube fulltime. I appreciate the honesty about your experience.
This is really a great "change of pace" for you, Adam ! I often watch your videos every week to learn about foods, food science and chemistry and good dietary habits. I value your opinions and it's very interesting to hear a very wise CZcamsr reflect upon the how he makes his money with CZcams and sponsorship.
Congrats. Love to see your hard and consistent work pay off
Wow, I have been watching CZcams for many years and within the past few months I have subscribed to you tube premium because I find content like yours is far more stimulating than what is offered on television. This video has been the most informative and honest depiction of pitfalls and success one can encounter entering this arena. I find your videos compelling and entertaining that I can’t wait for what you have in store in your next video.
I wish you nothing but success with your wonderful content and blessings for you and your family.
Regards, Arnold
Like these podcasts a lot. Thanks!
On my business’ CZcams channel, I have in fact noticed that CZcams ads sometimes do appear before my videos, even though I am far from monetized (45 subs, 25 video tutorials on a business app we consult on).
All we do is screen share and show functionality of the app, so I don’t think anything would be copyrighted there
this was a very interesting episode. I am shocked by your healthcare costs. here in Belgium we pay 65 euros a year for health insurance and a trip to the doctor costs rarely more than 20 euros, usually closer to 5. I don't know how people in America do it. I am actually from the USA, and when I hear this stuff I'm reminded why I can never ever dare come home.
People don't do it here; they die. I know of 3 people in their 30's and 40's who are dead because they couldn't afford the insulin they needed as type 1 diabetics :c
We die or use horse medicine. Greatest country in the world am I right?
Yeah. Here in Fiji, without health insurance we only pay about $50-60FJD for a doctor consultation and medication. That amounts to about $25-30USD. Surgeries cost more but a lot of surgeries can be undergone at the Government Hospitals which are for free.
I pay bare minimum for health insurance and it wasn't even $300 a year. I guess it depends on income or your job. I'm back into working for company and pay more or less $200 a month because of my income.
Thank you, Adam, for lifting the veil on how CZcams works - and where it doesn't so much. (I also share your values regarding journalism and justice in our lives.) I don't usually comment after watching these videos - perhaps I should...
YT is a scam!
@@DMSProduktions Yet we are using YT right now! (So it has its uses.)
@@robineur Oh I know! yes, but in terms of 'earning' $ from it, it IS a scam!
Just wanted to say thank you not including the mid-roll ads. Makes your videos some of my favorite to watch
Great episode Adam. Long time listener, first time caller 😉. I'm not a CZcamsr but I've been running a thriving niche community myself for well over a decade.
Like your story, it was a side thing that started on a whim and became an unexpected success. I resisted the advertising route to "keep a free thing free" for a long time, despite the toll on my health and my financial wellbeing-likely out of fear-but I've been coming to terms with it and have started having some successes taking sponsors. It's nice to hear someone eloquently speak to the necessity of advertising for sustainability, but this can be difficult to communicate to an audience... At least for me with a very international audience and when communication isn't my #1 job. Anyway, I appreciate this episode as someone that also "does a thing". As I continue ageing towards my mid 40's, I'm really beginning to worry about the lifespan of my project and my own shelf life. Hearing you managed to go from "in trouble" to "not" in a few years is extremely encouraging, and I really appreciate you sharing.
"Trash can healthcare system" thank you for saying so, more people should be calling it what it is.
Absolutely loved this video. Adam, I really admire and appreciate your openness and transparency, and your uncanny ability to answer EVERY possible question one might have about a topic from beginning to end.
Thank you Adam. Excellent. This video answers the many questions percolating in my mind as I've been discovering the quality, the diverse, "niche and nerdy" technical depth of so many individuals since I started more paying attention to CZcams in recent months. Not only better than TV but often also better than school. Also appreciate the timely reminder of our ephemeral existence and how we support ourselves now and into the future; your own story is inspirational. Very best wishes to you and yours.
Loved this episode. Happy to be a subscriber and keep you posting, financed, and able to make a living doing this work.
I totally appreciate his candidness.
Fan-friggin-tastic episode! I caught on to your channel after binges of “We Didn’t Start the Podcast” and “Outlandos d’ Podcast.” Love what you’re doing…you’re an inspiration to those of us who are smaller creators. Cheers!
I love how you take one topic/ question and make such long thorough videos from them. Also you have a very lucid mind. Very well done .
Thanks for sharing you experience Adam!
As both a huge fan and aspiring CZcamsr, this was my favorite pod episode so far! Thanks so much for the transparency. My hope is to build my CZcams revenue to supplement our income. Being full time youtube isn't really what I'm working towards, but who knows what could happen. Down the road.
The algorithm brought me this podcast and I have to tell you that you enlightened me on this question and enhanced my respect for all my youtube favorites, of which you are now included! I especially appreciated your thoughts at 48:07 as you succinctly explained how I feel about the past yet found comfort in how I've adapted to the now and am curious about the future. Thank you for your work and honesty about your long hours. Take it for all you can now for the family time of your life and do all it takes to be healthy!
9:55 are you able to control where in the middle of the video Yt places (mid-roll) ads? like in such a way you can plan/edit the video so that the ad will play during a pause/scene change/downtime part of the video
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability.
You went into seven figures?! Congrats to you and your family, Adam! You deserve every penny!
I really appreciate the depth you gave on how the youtube money system works. Especially going into the volatility of it all. Definitely worth listening to
I've just discovered your channel and have recently watched quite a few vids and have many more in the queue. I appreciate your research, deep thinking, thorough coverage, and clear communication on many relevant topics. Thank you.
6:45 not only that, people seem to forget how much youtube is subsidizing them by offering free video hosting and streaming.
That's included in the discussion of "venue"
yea but they're not gaining anything from that? CZcams is benefiting from it not the creator
I agree. I pay $150 per year just to host a simple web site with bandwidth limits. CZcams is a free sight where people can upload hour long videos to share with friends and family for free.
Always enjoy these pods.
Started listening to the podcast recently and really enjoying it. Thanks for making it!
Listened to every bit of this, Adam. Loved every bit. Being an older millennial myself I appreciated a lot of the history.
Love it Adam! Thank you for making these.
Hey Adam. Is Sunday, I'm out learning skate at 30 and my feet hurt bad. Listening to this makes this Sunday suite perfect.
This type of in depth commentary is why I keep watching and supporting/sharing your videos. Thank you.
Those podcasts really help me know you better which have made me like you more and more by knowing you as a wholesome person.
That has to be the best episode of any podcast i've ever listened to. insightful and thoughtful at the same time.
Thanks for the transparency. It helps me be a better YT consumer
Love you, Adam, in a content lover kind of way. I'm really glad that I can put you on via Spotify. All that to say I enjoy the pod very much.
YT must love you because I only started watching and subscribing to your channel a few weeks ago. No sooner did I subscribe then YT flooded my feed w your videos. That hardly ever happens when I subscribe.
A great, informative podcast.
I have a new way of looking at CZcams content. You’ve opened my eyes to see how necessary it is to have those “dreadful” ads interrupting my entertainment. I’ll never take that for granted again!
I haven't listened to every podcast, but I'm always impressed by the critical thinking and thought provoking nature.
Thank you for this video, the details, warnings, provisions, etc and above all the clarity.
I've wondered about this for years and it's great to get such answers and explanations 😀
I love your videos, but I never got into your podcasts because I was never a podcast person. This was the first and only one I’ve listened to from start to finish. Your perspective was very refreshing
Adam, this is easily the best video of yours that I've ever seen.
An hour of steady sharing truth and wisdom.
This was an incredible listen. So many great points. Thanks for doing all you do.
Thank you Adam! This is a wonderful tutorial and real world look at the mechanics of CZcams. I have THOUGHT about doing this, but I also realize the work involved, and the need for something useful and entertaining. I admire people like you who do this.
Wanted to point out that as of June 2021, CZcams is now running ads on videos from channels outside of the partner program. thanks for the episode!
This is one of the best, if not the best explanation of the youtube and in general social network business model that I have seen. You really excel at explaining things.
adam, when you were discussing the death/transformation of the entertainment industry, i think you left out something really important. i don't think people just stopped directly paying for content because it stopped meaning something to them or they stopped enjoying it (although that may play some role for some people), i think it's just financially unrealistic for normal people nowadays. wages are not NEARLY keeping up with inflation. i would love to have subscriptions to the local newspaper, scientific american, and national geographic, as well as a shelf full of vinyls, but i'm a young, working class american. rent is BARELY in the cards for me. how could those things be? it's totally understandable to mourn what's been lost, but i think the conversation is a little hollow without diving to the source of those losses - our institutions that allow a select few to hoard unfathomable amounts of wealth while the rest of us don't even make a damn living wage.
you hit the nail on the head!! i would love paying for more content/subscriptions, but i cannot really sustain that w an average paycheck. i pay for spotify (student plan), the occasional game on sale on steam, the even more occasional album cd, and my favorite magazine at the kiosk whenever i can afford it. i would to be able to buy more games, music, and even books!! i would to financially support my favorite CZcamsrs! but it's simply not feasible for me. and even then i spend quite a bit on media in my opinion since i don't go clubbing or eat a lot of takeout, which i would argue is the biggest money sink for people my age
Valid point and a sad testament to the current economy. That being said, I agree that the demise of honest, unbiased, fact checked, objective professional journalism is frighteningly apparent and undermines the intention of the fifth amendment, now rebranded as "entertainment" with a title/name including the word "news" 😔
Everyone at my college shares their subscriptions/does family plans. Have one or two on your own can be a lot for working class and students. All I pay for is Spotify/Hulu, anything else is whatever my mom will buy a family plan for.
Also, taking macro econ and marketing rn and I looove how they brush over how free market economies create wealth despairities. When someone says tax the rich, they ain’t coming after someone who makes a middle class salary, they are going after the richest people in this world that I will only ever be in the same room with if I was waiting on their table.
Starting with cable TV in the 1980s, then the internet in the '90s, people nowadays don't realize how much disposable income has been gobbled up by these major media and communication corporations. It happened so fast that there was never any resistance to it, people were just embarrassed if they didn't have it so they signed up. It really is a big chunk of working-class income to pay for all of this every month, that's why buying records and subbing to magazines and newspapers became unsustainable. Free TV and radio used to make up so much of our entertainment, now we pay through the nose to be online all the time and carry the internet around on our phones.
Thank you for being so honest! May God Bless you & your family! 🙏
Really enjoying the pods, thanks!
thank you for your work
Wow! Brilliant!
CZcams 101! Media 101! Life 101!
One stop shopping...
Thank You!
i desperately hope this doesn't collapse. I genuinely get excited when i see a new video from you because you meet two major likes of mine. Science and Cooking.
i love your shows and everything you present and i appreciate your honesty and transperancy even when i disagree about something your show is amazing much love from egypt!
I just want to say thank you for doing what you do. Intelligent, entertaining, heartfelt, informative... and did I say entertaining? One of the top 10 youtubers working.
I really appreciated the discussion of the decline of local news. It's a really big deal, and one that I think most people, especially younger people, aren't even aware of. Even in relatively large cities and states that still have some local news coverage, there's a lot less of it and it's much lower quality than it used to be.
I find that I can get local information, both news and other, a lot easier than, let's say, 30 years ago.
On the other hand, I have really come to dislike journos because of their corruption, activism and general failure to research anything.
If I ask a question in our local town's facebook group, I get better news and insights about a topic than from any journo.
@@svr5423 I follow journalism fairly closely, and while I wouldn't say there's no corruption or activism in journalism, I think most people vastly overestimate those as causes for problems in modern journalism. The real issue is that the business model for journalism collapsed, so that there are far fewer people cover things (especially at the local level), those that do are likely to be underpaid and thus inexperienced (because most people over 30 needs to be able to support a family), and the only way to stay viable is to create lots of content to feed Google/social media/etc. on a low budget.
The journalists aren't corrupt or lazy (mostly), instead they're being forced to write an article every day, sometimes multiple a day, while being paid crap wages. They simply don't have the time or support to do well-researched articles, often. Before the internet, when newspapers were in much healthier financial shape, journalists could be paid a living wage to write one article a week, or even less often, and had the time really research and report out a story in-depth.
@@level10peon Thing is, everybody nowadays can cover things, so the amount of stuff covered - even on a local level - is much higher than it was before.
If there is an event in my town, I'm no longer required to learn from it from the local newspaper. The city would publish, the participants would publish, the venues would publish, there are webcams and dozens of people posting photos and writing about their experience, so I can now get a much clearer and nuanced picture of whats going on. I can also contact many of those people, which usually wasn't possible with journalists.
And for all things professional or complicated, we now have subject matter experts that can self-publish and that use more complete and understandable language and cater to the interested audience rather than generate clickbait designed to be consumed in a few seconds. Especially in IT and aviation, I see a huge difference between journos and actual experts.
The level of activism and corruption may vary depending on the topic and the publisher.
For example, as a native German speaker, I nowadays follow primarily English news, because the German news are full of grammatically incorrect word salad that is hard to understand. And that is primarily owned to activism.
As another example: Since Gamergate, I also do not follow gaming journalism (which was so cool when I was little!) and professional reviews of other cultural products (films, series, music, books) anymore. It's empty of content and full of pandering. And you can often see the disconnect between the "critics" reviews and the audience reviews who are the actual consumers.
In my view, the swamp needs to be drained. The remaining journalism is often following an extreme activist agenda (those people work for almost free, since it's their "duty" - they do not need to write fullfilling articles or feed a family) and/or just write rage-inducing clickbait designed to stir up emotions and pit people against each other.
These podcasts are excellent. Thanks, Adam.
Great podcast. Thank you
Woah, first time visiting the video version of the podcast in a few months, nice job revamping the setup! I've been a Spotify listener since the beginning, but the background looks awesome!
This is definitely opened my eyes to the creators and lives behind the screen. I will think twice about skipping ahead and avoiding advertisements in videos - now knowing how much of a lifeline they are for the channel owners. This has been very eye-opening Adam, thank you for your openness to sharing this information!
Brilliant, Adam. Thank you.
The monologue starting at 48:05 really is excellent and true
This has been very enlightening.
Really great video, loved how transparent this was!
One of the very few podcasts I’m eagerly waiting every week. Although sad to realize it will come to an end.
Nicely done. Thanks.
What a truly humble and awesome guy
Thanks. I really appreciate the honesty in this video. I was really curious how this worked. Congratulations on your success and hopefully it has long life.
Thanks for the good info and the honesty when discussing the figures. Hopefully you can maintain and invest well.
Really enjoyed this one
Keep doing really informative topics, I’ll keep watching.
Bravo! Bravo!
Thank you for all of the hard work, research and passion you put into your content Adam. The humble honesty and vulnerability that you displayed in this podcast really pushes the envelope and sheds light upon the current zeitgeist. Thank you and know that you’re a true pioneer of forward thinking, wisdom and education. We need more people with the guts and grit to tell it like it is these days. People like you.
Thank you for being a kind and caring person ❤️
Congrats Adam, you deserve the success. Your videos are so insightful and entertaining.
Insightful, Adams. Thanks for your honesty. You are a true teacher. Young people starting off on their own should watch this vid to get a handle on their own lives. Older folks who lived through hard scrabbles for livelihood and pass their experiences as their legacy to their progenies are imparting valuable lessons as a gift only appreciated in later years: your Grandma's wheat pennies cup
Love this episode. Very refreshed by the pale honesty of several points of personal finance, which as the caller alluded to is hard to navigate socially as Americans. Deserve every bit of success, big fan.
