Like I said earlier - you need to have some principles when making content. Yes people on youtube are out to make some money either as a passion project or as a main job but you need to be careful what you put out.
My general rule of thumb is I donāt talk about investments unless I have personally bought them or plan to buy them.
Itās easy to take the wrong path. For example, Sasha has 40k+ subscribers just because of his clickbait titles. Paul is incomparably better, his videos are more entertaining and better made (editing is better, for example, much better than everything money). He starter earlier, and he has 20k subscribers.
The audience likes asses and tits or in this case clickbait headlines about a stock market crash, then tomorrow how a crash is a lie (so he canāt be wrong), 3rd day a little fight with other YouTubers, 4th day exclusive (fake) news about the failure of a broker and mandatory video how to earn 90k a month without work.
But it brings views, and views make money.

Robert Reynolds AKA the popular investor. Fantastic investor who is very knowledgeable and above all else actually gets results which is what we are all here for. He achieved 27% return in 2021 with a public portfolio you can view on etorro.

Is it mandatory for all youtube influences to pull faces and point in their video thumbnails?
Haha clickbait at its best! But in all fairness, itās hard for them to differentiate among a crowd of thousandsā¦ so thereās that.

Ask yourself what you would rather click on - a dull face or one with expression. Youtube is the modern form of entertainment.

How do you decide what expression to pull? Do you take a few different ones and choose the one closest to constipation?
Iām only poking fun. It takes a lot to put yourself out there, and a lot of time and effort to make a video iām sure.

Thank you - not everyone realises that. Probably the biggest downside as a Youtuber you tend to either develop a very thick skin or become blind to the difference between a light hearted poke or something malicious!
One of the best comments I got was - āYour videos would be better if you didnāt show your teeth when talkingāā¦ Not sure how one does that!

Ultimately your link is saying T212 is great, click my affiliated link so I get cash.
Sashaās says T212 is crap, click my affiliated link for Freetrade (or whoever) so I get cash.
Important for anyone watching to do their own research and get themselves comfortable. Iād be wary of making a judgement based on either video.
