I recently noticed there is a “views” counter on my personal Youtube playlists. So I wrote a few catchy keywords for a description, and started getting about 40 views a day, from people who seem to like my mix. Anyone else ever do this? Can I get paid a few pennies for this?

you cant make any money unless you own the copyright of the video and my view list is retro video games English new wave punk rock and pro wrestling videos with some classic country music thrown in

so unless you like listening to the pet shop boys or the Ramones or hank Williams sr while playing the 8 bit Nintendo WrestleMania I have nothin for ya

Now my camgirl list on the other hand … but that’s not on you tube…
