At what point should you monetize content?

Go through the steps to monetize your channel ASAP. Prepare so that if any of your videos happen to go viral, you can quickly turn on monetization.

That said, I don't see the point of actually monetizing anything until you're receiving at least 1,000 views a day, preferably over 5,000.

Otherwise it will take months, if not years to reach the payment threshold and you risk losing fans with ads.
 
On that note, what type of ads should you use? Display Ads, sure, because they only show up on the side and aren't disruptive at all. Skippable Video Ads are nice because people only have to sit through 5 seconds if they don't want to wait and they are worth a lot if they view them. No one will leave because of that. But what about Overlay Ads? I think they are the most annoying and I don't have them enabled. But is that a mistake?
 
I monetize right from the begining for 2 reasons:

1. I want access to earning data,
2. I want my viewers to get use to ads.
