Dana, it's not about the platform but finding a business model that works for you. Some people strive on YouTube will many suffer. Now, I focus on maximum growth; therefore, I don't worry about the money from subscriptions because I'm looking to build the most extensive audience base as quickly as possible. For you, you might find a way to connect your audience with offers you can sell besides writing, and if you found that your audience is open to buying your stuff, then that's great! I hope this answers your concern; I have checked your article, and it's a great one. My point is to focus on what best works for you and ignore the rest. Thanks for the compliment.
