Great video. I know how it takes a lot of work. It can get exhausting. Hopefully you guys are able to get monetized on YouTube. My Crypto channel has almost 3000 subscribers and I pretty much had to stop filming for it because YouTube just isn't monetizing channels even though I have met the criteria and have been well beyond it for a long time.

I hope so too but it's not the end of the world if we can't. Once we have a big enough following there will be plenty of ways to monetize it that aren't reliant on YouTube. Similar channels to ours are successfully using patreon and getting paid to take (and produce a video) about various tours or things to do in Mexico. There will also be sponsorship and affiliate marketing opportunities.
That is good and plus with more social media platforms with crypto payments coming online there could be more opportunities opening up.
I'm still really upset about YouTube. I had 2 other channels that were monetized and linked my crypto channel to the same Adsense account and just assumed that I would get monetized like normal but then it never happened an it just continually says it is under review and they keep changing the dates of when they want to be done "reviewing" Before it said by the end of January and then now it says by the end of April. I personally think they are just going to be super stringent about monetizing hardly anyone at this point.
Do you think the strict monetization standards extend beyond whatever agenda they might be pushing? They say it's "To keep the community safe" but I'm sure that's just a bs line they use.
I think it is coming from all angles at this point now and it comes down to the management and the way they are acting about stuff. A lot of political stuff that was more conservative got demonetized and they wouldn't give specifics on it. They just said "It doesn't meet the guildlines." Then they had what I consider more legit issues that they had to do something about. Some of the bullying. Then obviously terrorist type videos.....etc And copywrite issues.
But then now with the shooting that happened at YouTube headquarters I just have a feeling they are going to pretty much cut everyone off unless you are unboxing toys and talking in a baby voice.
I think my crypto channel has a slim chance of getting monetized at this point because they made those rules about how people won't be able to advertise crypto stuff like ICOs and all that. I think that will extend to these crypto information type stuff where they will just say no to it.
To me if YouTube does that then I will just use the site as more of a dump for my content that I'm creating for these blockchain based social media sites. I will just dump it and tell everyone I can't reply to comments and to hit me up on Steemit or where ever else.....etc .
