That's a fine model indeed. For me, I wouldn't want to rely on a big subscriber base expecting me to upload videos regularly. I'd feel chained to subscribers and advertisers expectations and having to produce daily content, or at least a few a week. But no doubt your model does have more control... more responsibility, but more control. I want to spend a couple months in Bora Bora and no one would even know. Then head off to Australia and Iceland for a few weeks after that. We were home for one week this whole summer, school started today for my boys, just dropped them off. There's no way I could have that lifestyle with a big subscriber-based model. But I am more at the mercy of the future of YouTube and suggested videos, etc. But I create content enough people like to watch to bring in views so I feel confident if something new comes along. I'm not anti-subscriber, I don't turn subscribers away, ha ha!, maybe on this journey I'll also have a few niches that brings in subscribers to get views on the front and back ends. I'm a believer in having multiple channels even if one or two are your main focus. The future is exciting with YouTube, that's for sure!

You've raised some very interesting points. It's tough for some of us smaller guys to continue when we put more into the channel than we get out. Maybe a second "revenue only" channel is in order. I think lots of YouTubers might not understand that statement. The vision for my channel costs LOTS of money. From my perspective YT gives folks like me the opportunity to create the content I would want to watch. When I was young it was NBC, ABC, and CBS. Both the technology and chance to create a show of your own did not exist. Now anyone can do it...with enough money. I think I have ideas that folks would want to watch but I am at the moment stuck behind a $150 camera and I am using every possible trick to make that $150 camera act like a camera that costs 50 times more. I could do so much more with an effects guy and professional sound. I need to bridge that gap. Your concept is very interesting.
