I do not accept sponsorships or ad revenue, and I would never ask for monthly subscription fees. There are many YouTube fan channels that are using my content. Please remember that I am not in any way affiliated or associated with any of them. Some have asked for monthly subscription fees, and I strongly disagree with this practice.
