You’re right, output is definitely the biggest bottleneck. Right now, I’m focusing on making shorter videos that cover narrower, more specific topics. I’m also trying to incorporate more real-world footage to keep things visually interesting without requiring so much editing time. Unfortunately, my lead poisoning video and the video I’m currently working on turned out to be a lot more ambitious than I expected.
I’m already working on your first four suggestions. I’m hesitant about the fifth point. I’ve tried the last point many times, but it never really worked out well. I think finding a collaborator who’s willing to dedicate time to the project could be really helpful with this.
I worry the other routes to monetization won’t provide enough financial security at the current size of the channel for me to be able to reliably output videos.
Oh my suggestion wasn’t necessarily that they’realternatives to receiving any donations; they could be supplements. They could be things you experiment with that could help to make the channel more sustainable and secure.

As additional sources of funding, I agree they’re good ideas!
