The post I replied to claimed subscriptions were ‘moneymakers’. That’s obvious, it’s literally people paying money to be a subscriber.

What’s not obvious is if they pay the bills. Chances are that like in most forms of media they don’t. Just like newspapers still have ads because subscriptions don’t pay the bills.

But hey, you’re free to try to set up your own channel completely funded by subscriptions! Good luck! Perhaps the talent that left this channel will even join your channel. If those subscriptions bring in enough money to pay them of course.
