It is a tough situation to deal with but new people getting on YouTube have the same issue. I have had success there and have a pretty profitable channel from the Adsense and Affiliate marketing revenue from there but I see it all the time where people startup and they are never profitable or able to make it consistantly. I have a friend that has 1500 subscribers now on his channel and he still hasn't gotten to the $100 payout threshold for Adsense. On here we are going to have to grind it out Gulag style for 6 - 12 months to get to decent average payouts. I'm saying if a whale doesn't put you on their autovote list. We just have to assume we aren't going to be liked or seen by the whales and just build a following of other people on our level and then if everything goes right we will be in a solid consistent payout situation in a years time. At least that is the way I'm looking at this.
