Yeah, the 1000 fans thing can totally work, depending on what your market looks like. $10/mo * 1000 is $120k/yr, which is a perfectly reasonable stable base from which to pursue a creative career (music, art, indie game dev, writing).

And if you can make it to 1000, it's pretty easy to make it to 2000, and then more - of course just getting to that 1000 can be a long slow challenge to be sure.

That is a lot of money for one creator to command per month. I can’t imagine spending $120/yr just for one YouTubers content.

Twitch has proven that millions of people are willing to pay 5$ or more* a month to support someone else for essentially no extra benefits

*Excluding the more expensive subscriptions, donations, “bits”
