I once swore to myself that I'd never monetize videos. Now my small-time channel has ads before my videos and I don't even have enough watch-time (yet) to monetize them to grab the pennies that could be mine.

Once I do have the watch-time (4000 hours per year) to monetize, I will feel sleazy about it but I don't think it would make any difference to viewers, I'll just be taking the pennies I deserve.

You can monetize your videos from day 1. Just line up sponsors. If you want you can embed ads for your sponsors.

Oh, wait, you mean you can't monetize without exerting some actual effort? How is that Youtube's fault?
