Thanks to a few of my video’s taking off this channel gained 100,000 subscribers and over 5.5 million views within a month.I hope it goes without saying that I am incredibly grateful to everybody who has watched my videos, subscribed, left an encouraging comment or even pointed out area’s where I can improve.But with that sappy bullshit out of the way, all regular viewers of the channel will know by now that I hate dragging out an answer to a simple question just to get you to stick around so, $29,000… I made $29,000 in the month that my channel “blew up” as the kids say.Now there are some really interesting things that I have discovered in this period of rapid growth, and some concerning trends which will likely mean that this gravy train is coming to an end very soon, not only for my channel, but for almost every channel on the platform.#YouTubeMoney #HowMoneyWorks

Recent AI advances have been mocked for not quiet living up to the bold claims of their tech bro founders.But even in their current, imperfect form, LLM’s, general use robots and generative models are ALREADY replacing jobs and they are getting better every day.So that’s bad for workers, but if you are a senior corporate executive or company owner, maybe you should be asking yourself…If we automate everybody’s job… who is going to buy all of your stuff?I have some good news and some bad news for your theoretical company.The good news is that labor reduction systems of all varieties have ALREADY cut out millions of manhours in America alone and made the workers who are left more efficient at their jobs.Artificial intelligence is just another tool that your company can use to get more work out of fewer staff or replace teams entirely.Even here at little old works media group we used to have someone working part time whose job it was just to cut out images on Photoshop to use in our goofy little animations.Now Adobe Suite has inbuilt AI features which can automatically remove backgrounds from any image with absolutely no human time or skill involved.Now if you still think that sounds a bit depressing, well welcome to this channel, but also, I should tell you that market trends say this is already happening… AI isn’t going to change YOUR world, it’s just going to continue a trend that’s been happening for years now.So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out if how companies are adapting to a world where nobody can afford anything anymore.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

The Growing Problem With Personal Finance YouTuber "Influencers" | How Money Works
The Growing Problem With Personal Finance YouTuber "Influencers"Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈I have some bad news for you…You are probably not going to be rich.Not a particularly positive message to start a video on but its something that people need to hear from time to time.Unfortunately, this is not something that most people want to hear, so there is no shortage of people out there that will tell you exactly the opposite, normally as a way to pitch you some kind of product.Now of course most of you watching know that the YouTube ads saying that you can earn 6 figures in a month by selling on Amazon, Forex trading, or flipping real estate are full of shit.But they still all follow a pretty similar routine,hey, you can get richas long as you are willing to do XYZwhile listening to the advice I give you!Again when it turns out that this advice is something that you have to pay for, most people get wise to the fact that it’s all just a massive scam.Of course some don’t, which is tragic and there really genuinely should be more done about this, but that’s a story for another time… or a Coffeezilla video.Instead the focus of this video will be on a group of internet guru’s with much more influence, a much larger following, and much more credibility, the personal finance personalities.So it’s time to learn how money works and find out why you probably shouldn’t be learning to work your money like these popular YouTubers might suggest.#PersonalFinance #Investing #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Music by Epidemic SoundLinks to all channels mentioned in this videoMeet Kevin - https://www.youtube.com/c/MeetKevin

The Great Depression Explained | How Money Works
The Great Depression ExplainedDuring the 1920s, America was thriving. National wealth had doubled from the year 1920 to 1929, over 12 million households purchased radios, and electric refrigerators became widely available. The Ford Model T revolutionized travel, places such as motels, grocery stores, and movie theaters were now easily accessible, and large scale automobile companies created thousands of new jobs. Americans began moving into cities, people didn’t have to sew their own clothes, and citizens all across America began buying the same brands of food, listening to the same music, and doing the same dance (the Charleston). This became known as the
“Roaring 20’s”Disposable incomes rose, families had more money, and everyone including line workers, janitors, the ultra rich, and even banks using consumer’s deposits started pouring money into the stock market. At a time with no Robinhood or Charles Schwab, investors had to visit brokerages in person to buy stocks. And with no Twitter or iPhones, important news about companies that happened after the morning newspaper would be distributed when a paperboy announced a mid-day “Extra.”#TheGreatDepression #WhatCausedTheGreatDepression #HowMoneyWorkshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression

---------------Fast food has never been GOOD food, but it was a quick, easy, reliable and cheap way to get a meal that appealed to people who were time poor… or just well… you know… actually poor…
Mass layoffs, increasing economic uncertainty, deferred student loan payments kicking in and spiking levels of consumer debt SHOULD be the perfect opportunity for these cheap offerings to bring in customers who don’t have much money to spare, but still want to eat.
For a long time companies like McDonalds, Dominos, KFC, Taco Bell and Wendy’s were considered “recession proof” because even in the most dire of circumstances people still need to eat, and the companies typically offered the best exchange rate of dollars to calories in the market.
But that’s changed.
In a business move that can only be described as… confusing… These brands have responded to cost conscious, busy and desperate consumers by becoming more expensive, slower and less reliable…
Unsurprisingly sales across the industry have plummeted at a time when they SHOULD be outperforming.
It would almost be comical if they weren’t collectively some of the largest employers in the country.
However the McRessession has been caused by more than some management missteps, it’s a clear sign of some much bigger problems in the wider economy.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

How the Fed Could Fix Inflation Tomorrow (If It Wanted To) - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈After six months of blaring alarm bells the fed finally said this week that inflation might be a concern in the short to medium term.Admitting you have a problem is the first step to solving it I suppose… but the economy has become used to easy money and the remaining steps to kick this addiction are going to be a lot more painful… probably.We are all used to seeing the memes about money printing and the headlines about stock shortages causing price spikes, but is it possible to actually fix this?Well regular viewers of the channel will know I hate needlessly dragging out an answer, so the simple answer is yes! The fed could fix this problem tomorrow if they really wanted to, but that type of extreme cure might very well be worse than the disease, which is the crux of the predicament we find ourselves in.A lot of people are frustrated that price inflation is happening before our eyes and the people with the power to fix this problem don’t even want to admit it exists.It just doesn’t seem to make sense but there is a really good reason they are acting like this. To find out why that is, it’s time to learn How Money Works to really understand how the fed is stuck between a rock and a hard place right now.The reality is that they will eventually need to sacrifice one of the following things, the stock market, the housing market, the government, or the dollar itself.#HyperInflation #Fed #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSRLink to my vid on fed profitability - https://youtu.be/DyQ5H8DbdlgLink to my vid on retirement - https://youtu.be/Q5sF0MbfVn8Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
