Yeah @stellabelle, THAT, right there.

As a blogger, AdSense doesn't "work" either. My niche blogs get 10,000-20,000 views a month, for which I am rewarded with a glorious $10-20 a month? After spending a ton of time social media blasting them all over creation? From the sound of it, YouTube is about the same... might work if you happen to be Jenna Marbles or Epic Rap Battles... but most people aren't.
