In general, when is a good time to? I'd assume when you rack up a good amount of fans (1k-ish?) I post some pretty low quality content so I know I'm not going anywhere soon lol. (my excuse is that I don't have the right equipment.) When did you guys start?
 
I started monetizing after about 3 or 4 months of making content. Monetizing is a goods idea, there's honestly nothing wrong with it. The most it does to viewers is either make them watch a skip able or no skip able ad, or a little ad box they can close. You wont make a lot of money off of monetizing unless one of your videos goes viral. I would recommend monetizing.

if your getting that much views monetize your videos but work on making better quality to get more views.
 
I monetized the channel I have linked as soon as I was invited by YouTube. You can partner before that, however. If you are planning to monetize I personally would do it as soon as I began posting content; YouTube doesn't do retroactive payments, so any money you might have earned while your videos weren't monetized is simply gone.
 
I don't see any problems with starting monetizing on your first video. People are used to ads these days anyways.
 
over 10 million of views on all of my yt channels combined and still haven't started monetizing yet

Woah. Lookin at your channel you got some pretty good content. congrats on 1k!
 
Immediately. Unless you're doing this as a hobby, the only audience you ultimately want is an audience that is tolerant of ads. No sense building an audience that will tune out as soon as you monetize.
