What if I get 2000 subs through shorts and once I achieve that, I completely shift my focus on start on getting watch hours through long form videos
I feel like the content I actually wanna pursue will not give me a loyal fanbase. Just some views here and there. So to get subscribers, what if I make completely different content on shorts and then once I receive 2000 subs. I pursue smth completely different (the niche) and make long form videos for watch hours and potentially delete my shorts to stay on theme
My end goal is just monetization, idc about how successful of a YouTuber I become. I want my channel to become a passive source of income
Is that a bad idea? I have a feeling it is-
