i get it man and understand where your coming from I'm more less having similar issues i have 1 platform that went crazy rest are lagging behind Facebook at 11,500 i mainly do music videos Lip Sync/ B-Roll 16x9 format and 9x16 Shorts/Reels my issue is you need a lot of streams to make any money you need like 22k listeners to make lucky around 300$-800$ with every stream being a fraction of a cent I've tried monetizing my following with buy me a coffee - album sales - tip jars - Facebook stars - and many other ways no where near the requirement for the YYP program for you tube my ai assistant is telling me to sell the services and skills i learned from this music gig but don't really plan on quitting just the amount of volume you need to make streaming work is daunting
