So, tell me, what is on your mind at the moment?

Most people (not all though) tend to disregard that some YouTubers with successful channels are PAID by YouTube, paid by sponsorship, paid through social media (if they have any), and/or paid by other means as well. Not every YouTuber starts out making money, that shit takes time like everything else.

Some YouTubers make decent money, while others make enough money to live a rich life…maybe.

Yup! Some, like Sara Lubratt, have announced in their videos that they’re quitting their day jobs because YouTube pays them that much. Must be nice! ☜(ˆ▿ˆc)

Yeah, If they have a steady yet successful YouTube channel and they follow the algorithm and even get good pay with sponsoring and more, it makes sense.

Especially, if their job isn’t paying them near the amount they make on YouTube.

Some people start YouTube without a job and are able to make money with a successful YouTube channel.

So, it is possible, but that takes a LOT of time to get to a point where you can live the rich life from making YouTube vids and more.

Come to think of it, I think she edits books for people on Fiverr too.

So, she has a job until her career as a full-time author takes off.
YouTube and her editing job is helping her get there, financially at least?

Did she mention wanting to pursue a career as a self-published author?

Nope, I’m pretty sure she’s planning to be traditionally published. Her videos mention query letters and stuff like that. She writes fantasy, so I imagine she’ll get picked up by someone in the Big Five or their fantasy imprints sooner or later.

She made a couple videos about her plans to quit her job, and then she went ahead and did it a year ago or so, and hasn’t gone back to working outside the home since then. So it must be lucrative. Lucky her! (˘ᴗ˘ღ)

I am going to get Nintendo Switch OLED because I need to game again. It has been a LONG time since I played video games and I miss that feeling. I just want to do some other things besides just watching anime and writing fiction.

I want to return back to enjoying this hobby, I can use that as a bit of an excuse to leave my bedroom and do something else.

And before any of you recommend games for me to play, I already know what I will be playing because I am a Super Mario gamer and nothing else.

This K-drama called A Killer Paradox is really weird, but very intriguing to me.

The overall gist of it from what I am getting is that this guy is killing people and getting away with it, but the people he kills are actually criminals and horrible people in disguise. However, the guy doesn’t know that and sees it as he just killed two people, now four and is stricken by that notion.

I think that is where the paradox comes in.

Update: There is also a bit of a chain reaction in a way as other people are killing trying to kill the ones who murdered their loved ones. I suppose that is also where the paradox is too.

Any thoughts, @NotARussianBot? Yet you probably don’t watch K-dramas. I steer clear of the romance ones.

I just happened to look at the word count of Pinti’s story and this is with 9 chapters of rewrites, a TON of notes, and other randomly inserted chapters.

55555 words on April 17.

I had to document this.

It’s like if Dexter caused a butterfly effect.

I read the Extraordinary Attorney Wu webtoon a while back. I appreciate her love for whales and laws.

Interesting.

I only watched a little bit of Dexter back then. I watched and read a bit of Extraordinary Attorney Wu too.

So, you watch K-dramas to some extent?
