YouTube Partner Program Salt - The adpocalypse never ends

[Haramburger]

In many ways the beauty trend on Youtube has replaced fashion magazines that I don't even know how they manage to stay in print anymore. But it's very oversaturated. Everyone with a vagina is doing them. And even vaginas by proxy like that weirdo Jeffree Star. You aren't going to break into the beauty guru market as easily anymore. I don't care how good you are at applying the latest Fenty product to your face. Get an education girls. You won't be a Youtube millionaire. Youtube is not a sugar daddy you don't have to have sex with to get money from.

They stay in print because USPS is stuck being an ad delivery system.

Most magazines don't need to even have regular subscribers or sales in bookstores/newstands to be successful anymore. Much like the shaky relationship with Youtube, content creators and advertisers, magazines exist in a nebulous agreement where a brand like Vogue is paid, lets say, 10 Mega-Dollars™ to feature ten full-page cosmetic ads between articles, Vogue pays retailers a combined 8 Mega-Dollars™ to prominently feature their publication at shelf-ends, checkout stations and storefronts, and the leftover Mega-Dollars™ are profit/wages/operating costs. Sales and Subscriptions are gravy, but not essential to the business model anymore. Somehow magazines ended up accidentally the middle-man in a relationship where they're really not needed, but they're hanging on admirably. Not many other business models allow your writing to not sell, have all copies stripped and sent back to the distributor, and you still get paid.
