I was waiting to be monetized over on Youtube as I had hit over 10,000 views but It had been taking months. Now I know why. I only have 201 subs on Youtube so It's going to be a long long gtime before I now become monetised on Youtube but I'm happy to work for It as I enjoy making videos.
I am glad that I also have a Dtube channel for a backup plan as the future of Dtube and Steemit Is looking hopeful and I may find more success over here :)
