• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

There are so many depressing things about that. I'm assuming it's scripted/prepared in advance going by the Twitter handle which presumably means the dude makes money somehow out of this nonsense. Makes me feel old.

As I understand it, and I probably don't, once you get over 1,000 subscribers (not views), then YouTube gives you a tiny cut of the advertising revenue which gets bigger the more subscribers you have. And you get more revenue directly if you can persuade subscribers to pay you as Patreon members.

Which is why people quit their jobs to watch television all week and then tell you what they think of the programmes.

How many subscribers does he have?

Yes this always amuses me that folks, usually young ones, think they can simply get rich quick by being a YouTube influencer. Imo there is no substitute for knuckling down and getting a proper job. I wonder how long the average YouTubers "career" lasts?

A lot of people make fortunes from YouTube. These are just the tip of the iceberg, check them out:

As with any new fad that anyone can jump into, those who can carve out a niche for themselves or get in there early can do very well indeed and well done to them. Behind them however are a vast army of others, some of whom make a decent living, others who just scrape by and many more who have nothing like the audience needed to earn a living from. As far as I understand it, the majority who are making good money from it work very, very hard to do so. So not that different from most 'proper' jobs I guess.

A similar (if more explicit) scenario has been going on with OnlyFans. So thousands of attractive people (mainly women) join up having been tempted by the stories of making a fortune, only to find out it's very difficult to become that successful. Of course that's worse, because when trying to transition back to a 'normal' job, there's a chance your prospective employers will have seen you naked!

Yes, indeed. Those who do make millions have to have something that is of global interest or at least something that appeals to huge populations like China & USA to get enough subscribers otherwise they're just paddling in the shallows. Some kid mouthing off about the Arsenal manager definitely has a very limited audience, and I mean 'limited' in every sense! :lol:
