Yes, you have seen a video and you have seen them all. It can be resumed to "will it run minecrafts (or one of its clones)".

I guess he figured out the short 10-15min format is better for engagement bevause people brains have been destroyed by tiktok and instagram reels and barely anyone can concentrate for 30min on a subject but really it makes for very uninformative vids.

Sometimes there's just not more than 10-15min of content that even a (significant) niche audience would find interesting. There's also only so much time in a day / week to produce. The machine demands novelty.

At some point your channel can only collapse when your content is resumed to:

And today's sponsor is a brand I will lie about for 2 minutes...thank you for watching, please click and subscribe!

It is only a matter of time.

Is that inevitable?

I personally welcome creators moving to rely more on patronage systems (Patreon, Supporting Cast) from consumers, to gain/retain their independence from sponsors and platforms alike.

Full disclosure, I work for Supporting Cast ;)

[prmoustache]

I never joined patreon (nor ever heard of supporting cast) because most youtubers are either very unspecific about what do they really offer or the value doesn't seem to be there. Some do not seem to offer much more than early access which seem like a really silly offer. I mean, we don't need to see everything the day of their launch. Sometimes they offer bonus videos but since you don't really know what they are, you aren't really missing them. Ignorance is bliss.

Plus these are additional accounts to setup/manage + payment to setup so it is a bit annoying. I hate subscriptions.
