Youtube creator here. I am running a Youtube channel for the last few years and it is my full-time job. About a year back I criticized youtube on twitter. Soon afterward my views started dropping. Though it cannot be concluded that my tweets were responsible it is difficult to explain how a channel which was very popular in its niche will suddenly fall off the cliff?

I am over 40 years old and I am unable to find regular employment. For the last 6 months, I am learning to program and trying developing 3 web apps. I am hoping that one of them will reach ramen profitability.

What is your channel? What type of web apps are you working on?
Directory apps. My self-education is still underway. I hope to build a SaaS product soon.
What was your channel?
The channel is still active. I cannot reveal it publicly out of fear of a second backlash from Youtube. I still earn about $600 a month from the channel. At its peak I earned c. $3000 a year.
Read $3000 a month
