YouTube Affiliation

I'd like to speak to or hear from anyone who has this for their channel. My own channel is 90% devoted to VR, though I haven't been uploading regularly for some 8 months, I still get people subscribing (though not many - think it's 51 since yesterday).

I got an affiliate offer from a company and I'd like to speak to someone who already has that, to find out the pros and cons and also, if the offer I have received might be either a scam or just spam. So preferably by pm, email or even voice is ok.

Would appreciate some help here. TiA

    They take basically all of your revenue for "promoting you"

    You tube this, your see many opinions, you just need to decide what is more important, exposure or revenue.

    oh - tbh I never started a channel for revenue or to get subs or anything other than for a laugh. Then I started doing vids to try and help folks and show stuff people were curious about (and promote VR, of course).

    I signed up to the advert thing a couple of years back, but within a couple of months I decided not to bother and didn't use that option again ("monetizing" - what a nice, friendly adjective!).

    Think I'll just dump it.
