Whereas on the main channel there are no labels for who requested what (unless you listen to the beginning of each video), so it’s much more random. I specialize in bands with very underrated songs and very low subscriber counts, for example. Many other requests will often be for bands already with hundreds of thousands of followers.

ah I see. That’s neat, and you right from a fans perspective.

I was looking at it more from the pov, I remember a couple years ago I started seeing indie artist post clips of tpain review their song… after seeing this 3-4 times I went to his twitch and found out they were paying and most the audience there was just waiting in line to get their clip to distribute on social media. And t pain was making more off payola from indie artists on twitch than his catalog. For the unsuspecting this tpain twitch “cameo” on the artists instagram is probably very beneficial out of context, but left a bad digital pay to play taste in my mouth.

What I like about Wave’s channel is that he knows how to play the instruments and he will give an honest response whether good or bad. So the music really does have to be exceptional to get an enthusiastic response from him lol

And also: the way reaction channels work on YouTube is that any ad revenue generated by the reaction videos is credited to the artists, so my goal with these is to expand the footprint where the artist can be introduced to more potential fans, and it’s up to me to choose great songs to request. The quality of the reaction is entirely out of my control.

5/10 first videos in that playlist aren’t content id’

I think you need 10k subscribers to monetize now, but it might also have to do if you upload to YouTube via a music distribution platform or not

But given those restraints I’m sure they are happy to gain any followers to get to that 10k mark

I looked at the YouTube Partner Program and the threshold is 1,000 subscribers and 4k public watch hours in the last 12 months. I don’t know how to accomplish that yet but I want to try to help!

Interesting, I don’t know why some of those don’t have content id.

that sounds right, it might be 10k for membership
