Monetization is not only about money. If my videos don't have ads, then YouTube doesn't prioritize them in searches, it doesn't show up in the recommended search bar, and people can't find the video. I don't make much money off of YouTube ads, but ads help people find my vids.

But with that being said, someone doing something for free doesn't necessarily mean they have more passion for it, or that it is more valuable to them. That's a really priviledged and ill informed way to look at SEXUAL ASSAULT AND TRAUMA WORK

My designer who makes my branding, my community manager, my script supervisor who films with me and ensures continuity, my editor, and my co-writer and manager. All of them are disabled, queer or trans people.

Not to mention cost of camera, lighting, costumes and makeup, rent on filming space, and other costs to run a business like an accountant and attorney

My video is not about sexual abuse. It is about learning and teaching eachother how to live life as a survivor of sexual assault and trauma. Did you watch the video?
