    Sucks that you agree to terms yet those who are supposed to pay upon your contributions screw you because they believe they can.
    Advertisers pay these gerbils and they’re (FB, Insta, etc ) lawfully bound to share a % to those creators that the ads ( which conveniently piss off the viewers ) interrupt the content people choose to view. The bureaucracy of online marketing and content creation is criminal.

It turns into a job instead of a hobby quickly. You need to borrow gad zee’s clone machine I reckon….

    Your channel and content is great and you have taught me so much about panning technique and prospecting. Went out with my kids recently and my 7yo and 12yo boys were so excited to pan for the first time and actually find some gold. It was specks but it was there. Hoping we can go again sometime and find even more.

    This is a story as old as social media. And you are probably aware that RUclips is no better, so be careful.
    When treated simply as a means of getting your product/brand noticed however, social media is very effective. I am working on a side hustle that once established, will allow for entertaining and educational content in both long-form and shortform videos. Do I want to have to learn how to create and edit videos? No. But will it be the perfect means of getting my expensive and very niche product noticed to those who could possibly afford it? Absolutely.

    I think Facebook is being monitored by AI. I have been reading some articles regarding AI. It has been enough to put myself on an "alert". I have been reprimanded on Facebook regarding "community content", which I know I didn't do/say anything offensive. I have always questioned "them" of their knowledge of the subject they are questioning. I have also noticed MANY spelling / grammatical errors in transcripts posted over videos. Only someone/thing with limited grammatical skills would make these errors.

    Remove every video from fb and delete profile/page. Create new one and upload all your videos, except that one that demonetized the whole page- that was a moneygrab on their side and instead of sharing money with you, they just keep all for themselves, using your creations. Dunno if you have some organizations in Australia but in EU such practices usually end up with facebook backing up and additionaly payung quite big fines for such practices, due to legal prosecution by the EU.
