Recently I received a message that the Marvel Collector Corps is ending their subscriber service. I wish that they wouldn’t stop it. I enjoyed the boxes that I received and at first they were amazing. There used to be a pin and a patch in each box but now there seems to be a either or situation. So, the quality has gone downhill a bit and I wish that they had kept the quality going. T-Shirts and pins and patches were great parts of these boxes and then sometimes there were special covers for comic books and then those stopped showing up. So now it is random stuff and much of it is exclusive but the heart just doesn’t seem to be in it like it was at first.
This month’s box was called Animal Instinct and it included some of the animal based characters from Marvel. You can see it all in the video below.
Over four years ago I started seeing a bunch of people making video game videos on YouTube. I thought that I needed to become part of a multi-channel network in order to do so and I made a dumb decision. I joined one, for five years. Yeah, for five years this network was supposed to help me improve my YouTube channel but rather they only took a hefty cut of my earnings. Did they promote me in any way? No. Was there much help at all? Not really. I made a very dumb decision and I learned from that.
Recently YouTube took monetization away from many small time creators who did not have at least 4000 hours of view time and 1000 subscribers. And it was because of these changes that I was dropped from the multi-channel network despite qualifying to continue to be monetized by YouTube.
Well, that is GREAT news to me! I had been counting the days until I would be free from that network. Now I am and I’m starting to produce some more.
