First things first, for those who aren't aware, the "Artillery Only Challenge" title is a reference to Hearts of Iron 4 (a WW2 simulator) in which YouTubers challenged each other to win the game with nothing but Artillery, which is fairly hard to do and has kind of become a meme at this point.

Alright, that said, lemme get into the meat of the business for today. The road to monetization was a long and winding one for me, and it took many different approaches to try and find a solution. For those of you who aren't aware, I couldn't monetize at first because of a glitch with Google AdSense preventing me from creating an account, and since you can't contact AdSense employees unless you have an account, there was nothing I could do. Over a course of a month I tried different strategies: Reset all my google information, send feedback forms, apply for an official business partnership (which got no response,) called YouTube corporate HQ multiple times... Needless to say, none of this got me anywhere. In the end, however, it was luck that helped me succeed. I happened to be in a Discord server that had someone in it with a YouTube connection, and when I figured that out and asked for help, they said they'd look into it. I went a day with no response, but then I got a message out of the blue saying it was completely fixed and my account was created.
Yup.
Kinda anticlimactic after all that, but hey, whatever works.

Thank y'all for your continued support of the channel, and have a good one. :)

Hey, thanks for watching my video. Your viewing support means a lot to me. There used to be a message here explaining that the purpose of this channel was a YouTube race between me and one of my friends, but I roundly trounced him (in yer face Spencer) so I can't put that here anymore. So uhh... I guess I just make YouTube videos for YouTube's sake now. Enjoy lmao
