Hey what's up guys, so I stumbled upon the donation option on youtube. How do you guys feel about setting that up? When should you set up the donation option? I was going to try it but I don't know if I should or not. Just the fact that I already feel bad if people give me money. What's your take on it ? Thanks for listening :)

I could use it, but don't. Adsense pays me enough to cover the bills.

I feel that many of my viewers could use the money much more than me.

If I was desperately poor, then I suppose ever penny counts, but that's not the case.

So, no, it wouldn't feel right to take people's money, especially when it's not going to change they way I do YT anyway.

I feel OK. People donate from time to time. Anyway our traffic is mainly from Japan and Japanese ads CPM is a pure joke. So adsense is of little use for us if any. :)

I prefer Patreon. It's more transparent.

What CPM do you get in Japan? I have very few monetised views from Japan, but the CPM isn't bad.

I would possibly set it up if i could (we can't have it in the UK) but i wouldn't promote it or anything just have it there so if people want to donate they can but I wouldn't make anyone as I feel that's unfair, I do have a patreon page which i link too in my descriptions but again I don't promote it as it can be the viewers choice whether they donate and I would never make anyone do it
