OK, so over the last few years I've seen people mention that they've got their own Youtube channels (at least one has got +10,000 subs I think - LiftHillsandThrills). I seem to remember that the management around here mentioned doing something about this a couple of months ago (but nothing has happened - naughty haha). I forthwith propose that this thread will allow our members to share their Youtube Channels, and then share individual videos afterwards from said channels when they/we see fit in this here thread. Don't be shy. An interest is an interest. If you're trying to build up a channel or you're just happy sharing your last trip or venture with others that you've caught on camera, feel free to share it.
Obviously, I'm going to share my channel (or 2) here (haha). My main channel these days is: https://www.youtube.com/@AdamExploresBritain - I mainly visit country house estates and talk about the history (amongst random other bits). I've got 3,250 subscribers so far. I try to research and make at least one video a month. I make a little bit of pocket money each month (just a little top-up to normal work wages).
Then there is my original Youtube channel and my first and (probably) forever love. My history of Alton Towers Channel. Around 1,700 subs. But, usually, my vids don't get that many views on that channel. That channel got monetised several months ago but I think I might have only uploaded one video since. I like to just record stuff that's cool like a ride opening usually, and actually the amazing stuff about the lost glasshouses and what-not (which took months/years of research/experience). But, you know, that's like 800 views or whatever. The theme park 'niche' just seems crazy with every single person being 'Theme Park Gary' and 'Theme Park Kirsty' nowadays. Everything is just lost in the crowd. Just too much trash to wade through. I think one upload every 6 months or a year will do, because anything else is wasted and not seen in the deluge of sh**e anyway.

Importantly though, what are your interests? Are you just starting out with a channel? Every channel started out with only getting a few views. I'm really interested to know what channels you've started up. Is Youtube your job now? Did you almost make it but then gave up on it? What's the story from the beginning? Did you just sell your soul for the cash? Is it all for the love of theme parks? Being half-way into the monetised world I find the mental side very interesting. I really do welcome any thoughts and please share your vids!!
